It might be tempting to spend a small fortune on a high-end smartwatch, but here’s a deal that shows just how much you can save by opting for a better value alternative.
The best smartwatch to pair with your smartphone can differ from person to person. Those who delve into a great deal of fitness tracking will find a lot to like in either the Garmin or Polar series of wearables, while iPhone users will find Apple’s offering too difficult to resist for its seamless integration with iOS.
For everyone else, the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 5 is a far more affordable option, costing just £74.99 at full price, but now you can bag a further 20% off and only have to part with £59.99 for Xiaomi’s fantastic wearable.
In fact, in our cheap smartwatch buying guide, we flagged it as the best cheap smartwatch around, but now, it’s even cheaper.
Trusted Reviews’ pick for the best cheap smartwatch gets a 20% price cut
Bargain hunters, this is your cue. Our pick for the best cheap smartwatch just dropped by 20%.
If you currently don’t own a smartwatch but are contemplating the jump, then it’s worth mentioning up front the two key areas where the Redmi Watch 5 excels: the display and battery life.

With a gorgeous 53mm AMOLED panel, the Redmi Watch 5 is able to bring more life to existing watch faces and help them to stand out, making information easier to read in a quick glance.
It also means that if you want to customise things a little more, you have far more options to choose from, as the vibrant colours of AMOLED help to keep things looking bold.
Where battery life is concerned, the Redmi Watch 5 can last for up to 24-days on a single charge, which absolutely obliterates the handful of days that most high-end smartwatches can offer.

As a final cherry on top, the watch also has Bluetooth calling, over 150 sports modes, plus heart rate and sleep tracking to name but a few. It’s also water-resistant up to 5ATM, plus the built-in GPS adds a level of convenience for swimmers or outdoor runners who don’t want to be burdened by having to take their phone with them at all times.
There’s a ton more information on the smartwatch in our full 4.5-star review, where we noted “The Redmi Watch 5 offers a solid all-round experience despite its budget price tag.”

Just know that at this price, the XIAOMI Redmi Watch 5 is an absolute bargain, and one that I’d recommend to most people.
The Redmi Watch 5 has a petite design, great battery life, a decent display, capable tracking abilities and a fast, fluid interface. It’s 90% of an Apple Watch or an Android Wear device, for a fraction of the normal price. Whether that last 10% matters to you is down to personal choice, but for most people looking for a smartwatch, it should definitely be on your list.
