What owners say about the Xiaomi Redmi Watch Move

Based on 101 owners sharing their experience in online comments

33%positive18%mixed49%negative

Owners like the value, tracking, display, and battery life, but frequent reliability, connection, and support problems sour the experience.

What owners dislike

  • Owners report late or missed call alerts, low call speaker volume, and no way to transfer calls between watch, phone and earbuds.12
  • On iPhone, owners report frequent disconnects, missing app notifications like WhatsApp, and caller names missing unless Mi Fitness runs in background.11
  • Owners report blank or blinking screens, endless restarts after a wallpaper or reset, and watches that won't power on within weeks of purchase.9
  • AI features often show a network error even when online, give wrong answers, and need a subscription that some Indian bank cards cannot pay.9
  • Owners say warranty claims were refused, straps are not covered or in stock, and service centres could not fix problems or offer replacements.9
  • With always-on display and health tracking on, owners lose 15 to 35 percent a day; some see sudden drops from 20 percent to zero.7
  • Pressing the crown opens a menu instead of turning the screen off, auto-lock sometimes fails, and there is no auto brightness.7
  • Owners report straps breaking at the pin after about six months and hard-to-find replacements; the silicone strap can pinch hair and sits crooked.6
  • Only three faces can be kept, the AI face takes a slot that cannot be deleted, and custom photo faces can crash the app.5
  • Owners say step counts are far off in both directions, sometimes only half the real steps, and steps go unrecorded when moving around a room.4
