Xiaomi's Redmi Watch Move: Made in India, and Totally Affordable!
Okay, so Xiaomi totally dropped a bomb on April 21st, 2025. They launched their first smartwatch made right here in India – the Redmi Watch Move. And guess what? It’s budget-friendly. Built at Optiemus's Noida factory, this thing aims to bring some seriously cool features to the Indian market without breaking the bank. I was pretty excited to hear about this!
A Closer Look: Is It Actually Any Good?
First impressions? The Redmi Watch Move has a gorgeous 1.85-inch AMOLED display. Seriously vibrant colors and a super bright 600 nits – you can actually see it in direct sunlight! Plus, they’ve got an always-on display option (AoD) if you’re into that. Navigating it is a breeze thanks to a really intuitive spinning crown. And it's IP68 rated, meaning it can handle dust and water splashes pretty well – perfect for everyday life.
For fitness fanatics, this watch is a winner. They've packed in over 140 workout modes! It tracks calories pretty accurately, and it monitors your heart rate, SpO₂ (that's blood oxygen levels), stress levels, and even your sleep cycles. They even included menstrual cycle tracking, which is a really thoughtful touch. Xiaomi boasts up to 14 days of battery life without the always-on display, and around 5 days with it on. Pretty impressive, right?
But it's not just about fitness. HyperOS integration lets you sync your notes, tasks, calendar events, and even weather updates directly to your watch. Bluetooth calling is a game-changer for me personally, and the fact that it supports Hindi is a huge plus for many Indian users. It comes in four stylish colors: Black Drift, Blue Blaze, Silver Sprint, and Gold Rush. The best part? It’s only ₹1,999! Honestly, who could ask for more?
