1. Q: How to measure and view heart rate on the Redmi Watch 5 Active?

A: Heart rate is the number of heartbeats per minute. The Redmi Watch 5 Active uses photoplethysmography technology to detect heart rate and display heart rate values. When continuous heart rate detection is turned on, continuous heart rate fluctuation curves can be drawn. The Redmi Watch 5 Active’s heart rate measurement frequency is divided into intelligent monitoring (heart rate measurement 25 seconds every 10 minutes when quiet, heart rate measurement 25 seconds every 1 minute when active), monitoring every minute, monitoring every 10 minutes, and monitoring every 30 minutes. The interval will be automatically measured and the heart rate chart will be drawn.
To view the heart rate, please refer to the following:
1. After the watch turns on the continuous heart rate monitoring, enter the application list to open the heart rate application, or slide left or right on the watch face to view the heart rate widget, which can view the real-time heart rate, and some watch faces can also display data such as heart rate in real-time;
2. If the watch turns off the continuous heart rate monitoring, enter the application list to open the heart rate application, or slide left or right on the watch face to enter the heart rate application through the heart rate widget, and the watch automatically performs real-time heart rate measurement. After the measurement is completed, you can choose to quit or re-measure.
Slide down on the heart rate function interface to view the heart rate range. The average resting heart rate, the highest resting heart rate, and the lowest resting heart rate in the past 30 days. When detecting the heart rate, please make sure that the watch is facing up. The heart rate detection area is attached to the wrist. It is best to press the watch surface lightly to increase the fit with the wrist.

 

2. Q: What is the resting heart rate of the Redmi Watch 5 Active?

A: Resting heart rate is also called quiet heart rate. It refers to the number of heartbeats per minute when awake and inactive.
The best time to measure resting heart rate is the resting state after the natural waking in the morning. The resting heart rate of adults is in the range of 50-100 beats/minute, and the resting heart rate of professional athletes is 40-60 beats/minute. Since the watch can not be in the best time for automatic measurement, the resting heart rate value will not be displayed temporarily or the test value will deviate from the actual value.

 

3. Q: What is the heart rate range of the Redmi Watch 5 Active?

A: The heart rate interval refers to the range or level where the current heart rate is compared with the maximum heart rate. It reflects the load level of the heart. It is used to measure a person's exercise intensity. Exercise at the appropriate heart rate interval can help you enhance your heart and lung ability and improve your fitness level.
The maximum heart rate value of the watch is automatically calculated, and it can also be set in the [Mi Fitness] APP >> [Profile] >> tap your Xiaomi Account >> set the [Max heart rate].
There are several states in the heart rate interval:
IntervalDescription
Warm upUsed to develop basic physical fitness or warm up before exercise.
Type of exercise: such as brisk walking.

4. Q: What factors affect the heart rate test results of watches?

A: For your reference, the factors are as follows:
1. Non-standard wearing methods, such as light leakage caused by incomplete fit, arm swing, and slight movement of the watch on the skin, etc;
2. Too tight wearing of the watch, arm elevation, and fist clenching will affect blood circulation and can also affect heart rate signals;
3. The watch is worn near the joint;
4. There are many sweat stains on the watch;
5. Due to the characteristics of the PPG chip, blood oxygen (red light) and heart rate (green light) cannot be turned on at the same time, that is, blood oxygen and heart rate cannot be measured at the same time. If the blood oxygen measurement is continuous for a long time, there will be no background heart rate monitoring data for this period of time.
Note:
1. The correct measurement method: Keep your arm flat, relaxed, and still, ensuring the watch is snug against your arm;
2. If worn correctly, individual differences such as skin color, hair, tattoos, and scars can also affect heart rate monitoring (brown skin and black skin cannot be measured, and dark skin cannot be detected for large absorption of green light).

 

5. Q: What to do if the Redmi Watch 5 Active detects a high heart rate?

10. Q: Does the Redmi Watch 5 Active support stress monitoring?

A: Supports all-day monitoring and single measurement.
Stress here refers specifically to mental stress, excluding physical stress caused by high-intensity exercise. The principle of stress detection is to use heart rate variability to evaluate the current stress intensity, compare the current heart rate variability data with the individual's heart rate variability during sleep and relaxation, and at the same time combine the individual's limb activity tracking to assist judgment. When in low-intensity limb activity, if the heart rate variability becomes significantly weaker, it means that the current mental stress is under higher intensity.
To view the stress value, please refer to the following methods:
1. After wearing the watch normally, open the stress application to view the pressure data;
2. In the data section of the Mi Fitness APP, you can check the stress curve of day, week, month, and year, the maximum, minimum, average pressure and other information. You can also do some decompression activities to relieve stress through pressure data.

Troubleshooting

1. Q: Why is the step count on the Redmi Watch 5 Active inaccurate?

A: Pace principle: The watch uses a built-in accelerometer. The data detected by the accelerometer is then combined with an algorithm and basic information of the human body to ultimately convert the information into steps, consumption and other information.
Factors that affect the number of steps recorded by a watch:
1. The principle of measuring the walking distance of a watch is to estimate your step length according to the height, sex and weight set by yourself, and then multiply it by your step number to obtain an estimated value;
2. Because the mileage varies, and people of the same height, sex, and weight can have different step counts, the final calculated value can also have large errors;
3. The accuracy of step counting, that is, the number of steps you take, is influenced by many uncertain factors related to your behavior, such as the amplitude of your arm movements and your walking habits. There are many scenarios where human activity occurs (such as walking, riding, driving, bathing, etc.), and your arm movements can be complex (such as typing on a keyboard, moving a mouse, lifting and pulling objects, etc.);
4. Due to the reasons mentioned above, the final calculated distance on your watch is also an estimate. The watch cannot be used as a professional measurement tool for measuring distance. We will continue optimizing the software algorithm to calculate more accurate data.

 

2. Q: Why is GNSS positioning on the Redmi Watch 5 Active sometimes slow?

A: GNSS positioning is slow, which can be caused by the GPS data sent by the mobile phone not in time. Please make sure to exercise in the open area and ensure the normal connection between the watch and the mobile phone.
 

3. Q: Why is there sometimes no movement track or track loss after movement?

A: The device does not have GPS hardware, and depends on the Mi Fitness APP positioning to obtain trajectory information. Please ensure that the APP is connected to the watch by Bluetooth during exercise, and keep the Mi Fitness APP running in the background or foreground.
 

4. Q: Why does the trajectory drift on the Redmi Watch 5 Active?

A: GPS drift refers to a continuous track where there is a certain gap between the actual position and the real location when using GPS positioning. This can occur both during exercise and on the actual route. Many factors can affect GPS, such as tall buildings nearby, complex terrain, and complicated electromagnetic environments, as well as harsh weather conditions like sandstorms, heavy rain, and other severe natural weather conditions.
 

5. Q: Why cannot the Redmi Watch 5 Active synchronize the exercise data?

A: If there is no exercise data on your watch, please refer to the following points to troubleshoot:
1. Please confirm whether the watch is worn properly and whether the heart rate is normal;
2. After the exercise is started, check whether the exercise time or distance reaches the minimum standard of exercise recording;
3. It can be caused by improper wearing and abnormal heart rate monitoring.
Note:
Outdoor running, outdoor walking, outdoor riding and treadmill initiated from the Mi Fitness APP are recorded sports for the mobile phone.

 

6. Q: What to do if the Redmi Watch 5 Active cannot be charged?

7. Q: Why does the Redmi Watch 5 Active show heart rate when worn on other objects? 

A: The watch collects signals from optical sensors to analyze your heart rate. Due to the limitation of the working principle of the sensor itself, if the watch is worn on other objects or there is a shelter in front of the heart rate sensor, the sensor can detect changes in the optical signal and calculate a heart rate value. Therefore, when the algorithm is compatible with the aforementioned signals, the latter's signal can be misjudged, resulting in the calculation of the heart rate value.

21. Q: What to do if the heart rate of the Redmi Watch 5 Active is inaccurate?

A: 1. Please wear the watch about one finger away from the wrist bone. Wearing it too loosely will affect the accuracy of heart rate monitoring data;

22. Q: What to do if the sleep data of the Redmi Watch 5 Active is inaccurate?

A: First of all, please confirm whether the wearable device and APP are the latest version. If they are not the latest version, please upgrade to the latest version.
The following phenomena can be used to troubleshoot your problem:
1. Sleep data is not recorded. If the wrist movements are more or very unstable, the watch can be mistaken for non-sleep, resulting in non-recording of sleep. If the sleep time is less than 15 minutes, the watch will not be able to monitor, and sleep data will not be recorded at this time.
Sleeping on subways, high-speed trains, buses and other vehicles will not be able to record sleep data due to the shaking or acceleration of the vehicles; 
2. Too loose wearing will lead to abnormal sleep monitoring. It is recommended to ensure that the watch is positive when wearing, wear it a little behind the wrist bone, and do not press on the wrist bone. Adjust the wristband to ensure that it fits the skin;
3. The sleep data is recorded, which can be that the watch is in a relatively quiet state, and there is a movement range similar to sleep. It makes the device misjudged as a sleep state, resulting in a false increase in sleep duration.
For example, when you watch TV, play with your mobile phone, or read a book in a lying position before going to bed, you have mistakenly counted sleep. The principle of sleep is to monitor sleep through the principle of heart rate variability. The heart rate sensor senses changes in light and cannot distinguish between living and non-living bodies.
Therefore, when the light changes received by the device sensor are similar to those of the wrist, it will be determined that the current state is worn, and sleep monitoring will be carried out, resulting in sleep data and sleep time differences from actual sleep;
4. The device cannot display the sleep of the previous day. The standard range of sleep data of the day is the data from 00:00 of the previous day to 24:00 of the same day. The sleep wake-up time of the day is attributed to the same day from 00:00 to 24:00. The watch only shows the sleep fragments of the day. If you have a sleep before 00:00, you can check it in the APP.

 

23. Q: What to do if the blood oxygen saturation measurement on the Redmi Watch 5 Active is slow?

Wear the device tightly to the distance from one finger of the wrist bone, and keep it stationary throughout the measurement, which can greatly improve the success rate of the value;
2. To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, please wear the watch correctly, keep the arm flat, keep the watch screen upward, and the watch and wrist skin are comfortably attached. Do not wear it on the wrist joint, and then start the blood oxygen saturation measurement on the watch to keep the arm stationary throughout the measurement;
3. Ensure that the sensor on the back of the watch is clean and dry, and there is no foreign body occlusion;
4. In low temperature environments (such as high altitudes, winter and other low temperature scenes), you can take off the watch, rub the watch parts, and then wear the watch to measure;
5. To make the measurement result more accurate, it is recommended that you wear it for 3-5 minutes before measuring the blood oxygen saturation.

 

24. Q: What to do if the music playback control status on the Redmi Watch 5 Active is out of sync?
