The Xiaomi Watch S5, priced at €179, serves as Xiaomi's mid-tier option between the Smart Band 10 Pro and the feature-rich WearOS-equipped Xiaomi Watch 5. It boasts a premium feel and an impressive 815 mAh battery, which Xiaomi claims can last up to 21 days on a single charge. Now that we have a review unit, let's explore what’s included in the box.
We received the Jungle Green variant, which features a stylish green strap made from a combination of fluororubber and nylon braid. The strap is a standard 22mm, making it easy to swap for a more subdued option. The only accessory included is the standard two-pin magnetic charging puck, typical for Xiaomi smartwatches.
The Watch S5 is equipped with a 1.48-inch AMOLED display, achieving a peak brightness of 2,500 nits. The display is sharp and comes preloaded with a variety of watch faces. Surrounding the screen is a stylish forged carbon bezel that adds to its aesthetic appeal.
Constructed from stainless steel, both the bezel and body provide a reassuring weight and premium feel. The right side features a crown and a shortcut button for convenient navigation.
Powered by Xiaomi's HyperOS 3, the watch does not offer all the functions found on WearOS devices but covers the essential health and activity tracking features. It includes an onboard speaker and microphone for voice calls; however, our international version lacks cellular connectivity and NFC capabilities.
A comprehensive review is underway, where we will conduct the necessary tests to verify Xiaomi's battery claims.
