It also offers HyperOS 3 with Slovak language support, Bluetooth calling and Xiaomi Pay. Here’s what its features mean for everyday use.
Design and build
The watch has a 46 mm case, is 10.99 mm thick and weighs 46 grams without its strap. The case diameter is worth considering: it may look particularly large on a smaller wrist.
Depending on the version, the bezel is made from stainless steel, ceramic or carbon. It is approximately 40% narrower than on the previous generation, but it is no longer replaceable. That makes the choice of version important for its appearance, as you cannot change the bezel later.
AMOLED display
The 1.48-inch display has a peak brightness of up to 2,500 nits and provides room for notifications, sports data and other features. Its high peak brightness helps when using the watch outdoors, although readability also depends on the lighting conditions.
AMOLED displays show black by switching off the relevant pixels. This can reduce display power consumption when showing dark elements, though overall battery life also depends on brightness settings and how the watch is used.
HyperOS 3 and everyday features
The watch runs HyperOS 3 and supports Slovak, allowing users to navigate the interface and use everyday apps such as the calendar, alarm and weather in that language.
Bluetooth calling lets you take calls through the watch when it is connected to a phone. It does not mean the watch can replace a standalone phone in every situation.
Contactless payments are available through Xiaomi Pay, including with supported Slovak banks. Check whether your bank and payment card are supported before choosing the watch.
Sports and fitness tracking
The Xiaomi Watch S5 offers more than 150 sports modes for recording different activities. It also provides basic training load analysis and a VO2 max estimate, which can help users monitor changes in fitness and training load.
The watch offers improved heart rate measurement and a dual-band GPS chip for tracking location during activities. Recorded routes and heart rate readings may differ from actual values depending on conditions and how the watch is worn.
Its health features include overnight heart rate variability tracking. The data can help users follow longer-term changes, but it is not a medical diagnosis.
Who is the Xiaomi Watch S5 for?
The Watch S5 may appeal to people who want a sports watch with a Slovak-language interface, Bluetooth calls and Xiaomi Pay. Its wide range of sports modes and dual-band GPS are useful features for activity tracking. Buyers should also consider the larger 46 mm case and the non-replaceable bezel, and check payment support for their bank and card.
