Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Watch 3 is a lightweight (37g) smartwatch featuring a vibrant 1.75-inch AMOLED display with a 600-nit peak brightness and a 60Hz refresh rate. Key characteristics include built-in multi-system GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS) for accurate tracking, 5ATM water resistance, and a 289mAh battery offering up to 12 days of typical use. Its main pros are the high-quality screen, integrated microphone and speaker for Bluetooth phone calls, over 120 workout modes, and 24-hour health monitoring (SpO2, heart rate, and sleep). However, common cons include a lack of third-party app support, no option to reply to messages directly from the wrist, and occasional syncing or quirkiness with automatic exercise detection.
