Xiaomi has launched the Watch S5 46mm for global markets alongside its new 17T series smartphones. The new smartwatch runs on Xiaomi’s HyperOS 3 and introduces several hardware updates, including a brighter display, a high-capacity battery, and a few specialized fitness features.
Xiaomi Watch S5 46mm Specifications
The watch maintains a standard circular design with a 316L stainless steel frame. It weighs 46 grams and is 10.99mm thick. The screen is a 1.48-inch AMOLED display with a 480 x 480 resolution and peak brightness of 2,500 nits. The bezels are 2.6mm thick, which the company says is a 40% reduction from the previous model. The screen also includes wet-touch protection to stop water droplets from registering as taps.
Inside, the Watch S5 has an 815mAh battery. Xiaomi estimates up to 21 days of battery life for light usage. For standard use, the estimate is 14 days, and that drops to 9 days if the always-on display is active.
For fitness tracking, the watch supports over 150 sports modes and uses an updated dual-band, five-system GNSS chip for outdoor routing. It includes offline map support and a backtracking feature. Xiaomi added a cycling mode that syncs data to a smartphone to act as a bike computer, and it connects to third-party Bluetooth power meters.
There is also a skiing mode with fall detection that contacts emergency services if the user is unresponsive for 60 seconds. Another specific addition is Passion mode, which tracks gestures like clapping and arm waving during sporting events to calculate calories burned while cheering.
The health tracking system uses a new four-LED, four-PD sensor for heart rate and blood oxygen monitoring. Xiaomi says the heart rate tracking is 98.4% accurate. The company also worked with international sleep societies to update its sleep tracking algorithms. Running on HyperOS 3, the watch connects to the Xiaomi Smart Hub for smart home control, remote camera operation, and NFC payments through Mastercard and Visa.
