Redmi Watch 5 Active will be launched in India soon, the company announced on Thursday. It will arrive with a slightly larger display than its predecessor, while offering more days of battery life on a single charge. The company has started to reveal some of the key specifications of the wearable fitness tracker in the days ahead of its debut. Its predecessor, the Redmi Watch 3, was launched in India in August 2023 and is compatible with iOS and Android smartphones.

The Redmi Watch 5 Active will be launched in India on August 27, according to a landing page for the upcoming wearable device on the company's website that appears to confirm that it will be available in at least two colourways.
