#Xiaomi Watch 5 Review

With the Xiaomi Watch 5, Xiaomi appears determined to improve that balance. After spending several days using the watch as my daily wearable, I found that the Xiaomi Watch 5 presents a thoughtful step forward.

Xiaomi equips the device with double-sided sapphire glass, which adds durability while giving the watch a more refined feel compared with typical smartwatch displays. On the right side of the watch, Xiaomi includes a rotating crown, which serves both as a design element and a functional control. Software Experience The Xiaomi Watch 5 runs Wear OS, giving it access to the full ecosystem of Google services. Gesture Controls One of the more interesting additions to the Xiaomi Watch 5 is the EMG sensor, which enables gesture-based interaction with the watch.
