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

A: Heart rate is the number of heartbeats per minute. The Redmi Watch 5 Lite 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 Lite’s heart rate measurement frequency is divided into intelligent monitoring (heart rate measurement 25s every 10 minutes when quiet, heart rate measurement 25s 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.
The heart rate view methods are as follows:
  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 Lite?

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 naturally 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 is not in the best time for automatic measurement, the resting heart rate value will not be displayed temporarily or the measured value will deviate from the actual value.
 

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

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 the exercise intensity. Exercise at the Appropriate heart rate interval can help you enhance your heart and lung ability and improve your fitness level.
  1. The heart rate interval refers to the heartbeat range per minute and is calculated based on the percentage of the maximum heart rate value;
  2. The maximum heart rate value of the watch is automatically calculated, and it can also be set in the Mi Fitness App. The setting method: Mi Fitness App >> [Profile] >> tap your Xiaomi Account >> [Max heart rate] >> turn off [Auto detect] >> set the maximum heart rate value.
There are several states in the heart rate interval:

4.Q: What factors affect the heart rate measure results of smartwatches?

A:
  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. Too tight wearing of the watch, arm elevation and fist clenching will affect blood circulation and will also affect heart rate signals;
  2. The watch is worn near the joint;
  3. There are many sweat stains on the watch. Correct measurement method: Keep your arm flat, relaxed, and still, ensuring the watch is snug against your arm;
  4. 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:
If worn correctly, individual differences such as skin color, hair, tattoos and scars will 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 Lite displays a heart rate that is too high?

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

A: It supports the all-day monitoring and a 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 the 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.
Viewing methods:
  1. After wearing the watch normally, open the stress application on the watch to view the stress data;
  2. In the [Stress] section of the Mi Fitness App, you can check the stress curve of day, week, month and year, the maximum, minimum, average stress and other information, and do some decompression activities to relieve pressure through analyzing the data.

Troubleshooting

1.Q: Why is the data of the Redmi Watch 5 Lite inaccurate?

A: Principle: The watch has a built-in acceleration sensor. The data is detected by the acceleration sensor and then combined with the algorithm and the basic information of the human body, and finally the information is displayed as the number of steps, calories consumption and other information.
Factors that affect the number of steps recorded by a watch:
  1. Because 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 the number of steps taken by you to obtain an estimated value;
  2. Because the mileage varies, and people of the same height, sex and weight also have different steps, the final calculated value will also have large errors;
  3. The accuracy of step counting, that is, the number of steps taken, also has many uncertain factors that will have a great relationship with everyone's behavior habits, such as the amplitude of arm waving, walking habits, etc. There are many scenes of human activities (such as walking, riding, driving, bathing, etc.), and arm movements are more complicated (such as keyboard tApping, moving mouse, lifting and pulling objects, etc.);
  4. It is because of the above reasons that the final calculated distance of the watch is also an estimated value. The watch cannot be used as a professional measurement tool to measure the distance. We will continue to optimize the software algorithm to calculate more accurate data.
 

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

3.Q: Why is there sometimes no movement track or track loss on the Redmi Watch 5 Lite after movement?

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

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

A: GPS drift refers to a continuous trajectory with a certain interval between the actual position and the GPS positioning, and there are differences in motion and the actual route. There are many factors affecting GPS, such as tall buildings around, complex terrain and complex electrical signal environment, and harsh climate conditions such as sandstorms, rainstorms, and other harsh natural weather.
 

5.Q: Why doesn’t the Redmi Watch 5 Lite generate exercise data?

A:
  1. Please confirm whether the watch is normally worn and whether the heart rate is normal;

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

A: The watch collects signals from optical sensors to analyze the individual's heart rate. If the watch is worn on other objects or there is a shelter in front of the heart rate sensor, the heart rate sensor detects the change of the optical signal, then the heart rate value will be measured. Therefore, when the algorithm is compatible with the aforementioned signals, the latter's signal is misjudged, resulting in the calculation of the heart rate value.

22.Q: What to do if the sleep data of the Redmi Watch 5 Lite 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 them 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 will mistake it as non-sleep, resulting in non-recording of sleep;
  2. If the sleep time is less than 15 minutes, the watch will not monitor the sleep, and sleep data will not be recorded at this time;
  3. Sleeping on subways, high-speed trains, buses and other transportation vehicles will not be recorded due to the shaking or acceleration of the transportation vehicles;
  4. 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 the device on the wrist bone. Adjust the strap to ensure that it fits the skin to wear. Avoid wearing too loose or too tight, resulting in inaccurate sleep data detection;
  5. The watch is in a relatively quiet state, and there is a movement range similar to sleep, which makes the device misjudge it 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 will be mistaken as asleep. The principle of sleep is to monitor sleep through the principle of heart rate variability. The heart rate sensor monitors changes in light. Therefore, when the light changes received by the device sensor are similar to those of the wrist, it will be determined that the watch is worn, and sleep monitoring will be carried out, resulting in sleep data and sleep time differences from actual sleep;
  6. 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 of the Redmi Watch 5 Lite is slow or doesn’t work?

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 successful rate of the measurement;
  2. In order 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. 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 objects occlusion;
  4. In a low temperature environment (such as high altitude, winter and other low temperature scenes), you can remove the watch and rub the sensor of the watch actively with the skin to increase the blood circulation, therefore improve the measurement;
  5. In order to make the measurement result more accurate, it is recommended that you wear it for 3-5 minutes before measuring the blood oxygen saturation.
