Friends, if you are looking for an amazing smartwatch under 2000 rupees, then today I have brought you an option which is making waves in the market – Redmi Watch Move! This watch is so amazing that it has shaken up the budget smartwatch segment.
AMOLED display, Bluetooth calling, 14 days battery backup, what else do you want at this price? In today’s blog post, we will talk about every single feature of this watch, so let’s start and see what is so special in it that it will compel you to buy it!
Redmi Watch Move
When I first saw the box of Redmi Watch Move, I felt that this is a premium watch. The design of the box is sleek, and the look of the watch is also quite stylish. This watch comes in 4 colors – Grey, Blue, and two more shades. Along with this, it is also Made in India, which is a proud moment! As soon as you open the box, you get:
- Redmi Watch Move (mine is in Grey colour)
- A magnetic USB-A charging cable
- And a user manual (which you probably won’t read, because I will explain everything here!)
Now let’s talk about its features and performance.
Design & Build Quality: Premium Feel at Budget Price
The design of Redmi Watch Move is extremely lightweight and comfortable. Its body is made of plastic, but the build quality is so solid that it doesn’t look cheap. The straps are removable and are made of 20mm soft silicone material, which is quite comfortable to wear. If you wear this watch all night and sleep (for sleep tracking), it will not irritate at all.
The front has a 1.85-inch AMOLED display with 2.5D curved glass, which gives a premium touch to this watch. A functional rotating crown is also provided, which makes the navigation super smooth. There is a microphone and speaker grill on the side, which are useful for Bluetooth calling.
There is a heart rate sensor, SpO2 sensor, and charging points at the bottom. One small thing – it has two holes which are probably for noise cancellation, but it is not confirmed.
The one thing that I found a little lacking is the absence of a metallic body. If it came with a metal body, it would have felt even more premium. But at this price point, it is not right to complain so much!
AMOLED Display: Vibrant and Sharp
Friends, the 1.85-inch AMOLED display of this watch is one of its biggest highlights. This display comes with 600 nits brightness, which gives crystal clear visibility both indoors and outdoors. Colors are vibrant, blacks are deep, and with 290×450 pixel resolution, text and graphics look quite sharp.
It also has an Always-On Display feature, which changes dynamically according to the watch face. The Rise to Wake feature is quite responsive, and the 60Hz refresh rate of the screen makes the UI buttery smooth. One small drawback – the bezels are a bit big compared to modern watches, but the display quality is so amazing that it comes out of the heart.
Features:
The Redmi Watch Move is not only beautiful, but is also feature-packed. Let’s see some of its top features:
1. Xiaomi HyperOS: Smooth and Simple
This watch runs on Xiaomi HyperOS, which makes the UI quite smooth and user-friendly. Swiping from the home screen gives you notifications, quick toggles (like DND, Torch, Silent mode), and widgets. Widgets include options like weather, sleep tracking, heart rate, and music controls.
The rotating crown makes menu navigation very easy, and you can change the menu style to list or grid view. With 200+ watch faces, you can give your watch a new look every day. You can also create custom watch faces with your photos!
2. Health & Fitness Tracking
This watch leaves no stone unturned when it comes to health features:
- Heart Rate Monitoring: Claims 98.5% accuracy, and it seemed quite accurate in initial testing.
- SpO2 Monitoring: This feature is quite reliable for checking blood oxygen levels.
- Sleep Tracking: Provides detailed sleep analysis.
- Stress Monitoring & Breathing Exercises: Helpful for tracking stress levels and relaxing.
- 140+ Sports Modes: Running, cycling, yoga, and even dance modes. There are no swimming modes, despite IP68 water resistance.
One thing to note – there is no inbuilt GPS, but workout tracking with phone’s GPS is quite accurate. There is also Auto Workout Detection, which tracks your workouts even when you forget.
3. Bluetooth Calling: Decent Performance
This watch has Bluetooth calling feature, which is a big plus point in this price range. Speaker volume is decent – perfect for indoor use, but can struggle a bit in a very noisy environment. Microphone quality is also good; the person on the other side did not have any problem during the call.
4. Notifications & Quick Replies
Notifications support is quite solid. You can see emojis along with Hindi and English text, which is rare in this price range. There is also a Quick Reply feature, which lets you reply quickly to pre-set messages (but it only works for calls, not SMS).
5. Battery Life: 14 Days Backup
Redmi Watch Move’s 14-day battery backup is another big USP. In normal usage, it easily lasts for 10-12 days, and even more if you keep the Always-On Display off. Charging is done via magnetic cable, and it takes 1.5-2 hours to fully charge.
Mi Fitness App: Everything in one place
Pairing the Redmi Watch Move with the Mi Fitness app is quite easy. In the app, you get health data, workout history, watch face customization, and notification settings. The app interface is clean and intuitive, and it works seamlessly with the watch.
What are the shortcomings?
No product is perfect, and the Redmi Watch Move also has some minor shortcomings:
- Flaw of metallic body – plastic body reduces the premium feel a bit.
- Bezel size is a bit big.
- No inbuilt GPS (but this was not expected at this price).
- No swimming modes, despite IP68 rating.
Despite all this, what this watch offers at this price is not less from any angle.
Verdict: Should I buy it or not?
