Xiaomi Watch S5: Forget Daily Charging
30 May
Summary
- Xiaomi Watch S5 boasts up to 21 days of battery life on light use.
- It offers advanced features like 5-system dual-band GNSS and 150+ sport modes.
- The smartwatch is launching in Europe and other regions but not the US.
The Xiaomi Watch S5 has officially launched internationally, offering a remarkable battery life of up to 21 days on a single charge for light users. This extended usage is a significant departure from competitors that typically require daily charging. The smartwatch features a 5-system dual-band GNSS for precise location tracking and supports over 150 sport modes, catering to a wide range of athletic activities.
While not officially announced for the U.S. market, the Xiaomi Watch S5 is available in Europe with pricing around €179.99 to €199.99. Its battery performance is attributed to an 815mAh battery, with Xiaomi defining light use as receiving up to 100 messages daily, limited call alerts, and moderate exercise tracking. Normal usage reduces battery life to 14 days, while the always-on display option brings it down to approximately 9 days.
Beyond its battery capabilities, the Watch S5 includes features like heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and an enhanced cycling mode. It lacks some advanced sensors found in flagship models, such as EKG, but excels in its extensive sports modes. The device connects seamlessly with Xiaomi phones and other smartphones via the Mi Fitness app.
