Highlights
- Xiaomi has taken a significant step in its wearable journey with the launch of the Redmi Watch Move.
- The Move is a smartwatch manufactured in India, tailored to suit Indian customers with a rich mix of advanced features and an affordable price.
- Starting at just 1,999 INR, the device is set to challenge the budget smartwatch segment with a premium feel.
The Redmi Watch Move represents what may be Xiaomi’s most ambitious move yet in the Indian smartwatch space. With a design that is as stylish as it is functional, and a specification list that rivals devices that are two or even three times the price, this device does not just fill a niche, but wholly redefines it. Presented as Xiaomi’s first smartwatch fully manufactured in India, it is clear the company aims to connect with Indian users not just through price, but by redesigning for the local lifestyle and expectations.
Design and Display: Where Affordability Meets Aesthetics
Redmi Watch Move has a 1.85-inch AMOLED display that boasts a sharp resolution of 390 x 450 pixels and a refresh rate of 50-60 Hz. The screen is vivid, colourful, and legible even in direct sunlight, all thanks to its 600 nit peak brightness.
This makes the watch ideal for outdoor activities, be it walking, cycling, or simply checking notifications in broad daylight, the device display will always be comfortably visible. The 2.5D curved glass enhances its seamless visual appeal, eliminating hard edges and contributing to an overall smooth user experience.
A rotating crown on the side adds functionality and finesse. It lets users scroll through menus and interact with the UI without smudging the screen, an underrated yet increasingly popular feature when it comes to smartwatches. Unlike touch-only models, this approach also adds a sort of tactile precision.
Available in stylish finishes like Black Drift, Blue Blaze, Silver Sprint, and Gold Rush, the device blends well with both formal and casual attire. Paired with skin-friendly, interchangeable straps, it offers a level of personalization typically found in far more expensive devices.
Customization: Designed to Reflect Your Style
The Redmi Watch Move supports over 200 watch faces, with a mix of digital, analog, animated, and minimalist designs. This broad selection ensures users will have a watch face that suits every outfit, occasion, and personality. The interface is also optimized for speed and responsiveness, with smooth transitions between menus and widgets.
Even better, some of these faces support Always-On Display (AOD) configurations, which means that users can keep their preferred style visible at all times without needing to raise their wrist or tap the screen all the time. The AOD is intelligently managed to preserve battery life, using adaptive brightness and time-based controls.
Health and Wellness Tracking
Redmi Watch Move comes equipped with a robust suite of health tracking sensors that make it a genuine wellness companion. At the core is the 24/7 heart rate monitor, which continually checks for the user’s pulse and offers real-time data as well as historical graphs. It is not just for workouts, as it can be a crucial tool in detecting early signs of cardiovascular stress or irregular rhythms.
SpO2 monitoring is also supported, allowing users to track their blood oxygen levels. This feature has become especially relevant post-pandemic, offering users insights into their respiratory health, especially during sleep or workouts. The watch is capable of automatically measuring SpO2 levels during sleep for a holistic view of overnight recovery.
Speaking of sleep, the advanced sleep tracking breaks down the night into light, deep, and REM sleep phases. Unlike basic trackers that just log duration, Redmi Watch Move provides useful context, such as how restful the night was, when disturbances occurred, and how to improve sleep hygiene. There is even a nap tracking mode, perfect for users who rely on midday rest.
For female users, a menstrual cycle tracking feature provides timely reminders and predictions, making it a personal health tool in more ways than one. Stress tracking is another valuable edition, using heart rate variability to gauge mental stress levels. When the watch detects high stress, it prompts users to engage in guided breathing exercises, helping them reset and refocus.
Fitness Features: Activity Tracking for Sport and Other Scenario
Whether the user is a dedicated athlete or just trying to stay active, the Redmi Watch Move is equipped to support every need. With over 140 sports modes it covers everything from traditional activities like running, walking, and cycling, to high-intensity training, yoga, and even less common modes like jump-rope, rower, and elliptical.
Xiaomi has also integrated an advanced motion algorithm that delivers 98.5% accuracy in movement tracking. This means that all metrics, such as calories burned, steps counted, and active minutes, are logged with precision. GPS is not onboard, but with smartphone tethering, users can still track outdoor routes and distances.
Smart Features and Connectivity
The Redmi Watch Move is more than just a fitness tracker, it is a smartwatch in the truest sense. Thanks to its Bluetooth calling feature, users can make and receive calls directly from their wrists. The built-in microphone and speaker ensure clear voice quality on both ends, and it even supports quick access to recent contacts and a dial pad for outgoing calls.
With the inclusion of Xiaomi’s HyperOS, the watch offers deeper ecosystem integration than ever before. Users can sync calendar events, notes, tasks, and even weather updates from their phones directly onto the watch. This turns the device into a productivity companion as much as a health tracker.
Battery Life and Charging
Battery performance is one of the Move’s standout features, as the device is fitted with a respectable 300 mAh battery. Xiaomi claims up to 14 days of use on a single charge with moderate usage. Even with AOD and Bluetooth calling turned on, users can expect around 7-10 days, which is excellent for a feature-packed smartwatch.
Charging is handled by a magnetic charging cradle that connects securely and charges the watch. HyperOS includes battery optimization features that dynamically adjust power consumption based on usage patterns, ensuring longer runtimes and smarter energy use. For frequent travellers or users who dislike charging their gadgets every night, this kind of endurance is a major win.
Durability and Daily Wearability
The watch is rated IP68 for water and dust resistance, making it suitable for daily wear in all conditions. It does not matter if the user is sweating during a workout, caught in the rain, or simply washing their hands, the watch is protected at all times. This rating ensures peace of mind for active users or those in unpredictable climates.
The glass surface, especially, is designed to be scratch-resistant, which preserves the screen’s clarity and touch sensitivity even after extended use. Combined with its lightweight form factor and breathable strap, the watch remains comfortable and durable enough for both everyday and intensive use cases.
Made in India and Local Optimizations
Xiaomi has proudly positioned the Redmi Watch Move as “Make in India”, a badge that carries growing significance. This not only reflects the brand’s commitment to local manufacturing but also benefits Indian consumers directly, with faster availability, improved after-sales services, and a product experience that is localized both in software and ergonomics.
This includes regionally-relevant features, such as native language support, notification management tailored to Indian app usage, and an understanding of common activity patterns. By manufacturing locally, Xiaomi is also contributing to employment and self-reliance goals under the Make in India initiative.
Pricing, Lunch Date, and Where to Buy
Priced at an accessible 1,999 INR, the Redmi Watch Move is sure to become a game-changer in the entry-level smartwatch market. Pre-order begins on the 24th of April, 2025, and official sale commences on the 1st of May, 2025. Early interest has already spiked, with users flocking to Xiaomi’s official site to register.
The watch will be available for purchase via Mi.com, Mi Home stores, and authorized Xiaomi retailers across the country. Buyers can also visit the official product event page for registration, offers, and launch updates.
Conclusively, the Redmi Watch Move is a brilliant innovation by Xiaomi. It delivers everything a modern smartwatch should, all in a stylish, well-built package, one that does not compromise on battery life or performance. It is not just a fitness tracker, nor a barebones smartwatch, but a well-rounded companion that can fit into any lifestyle.
