Honor Watch X5i

Overview

The Watch X5i is a fitness-oriented smartwatch that boots a real-time operating system (RTOS) without support for third-party apps.

Display and Design

It brings a 1.97-inch AMOLED touchscreen with 390×450px resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, and Always On Display functionality. It weighs 41 grams including the watch strap and features a metallic midframe.

Water Resistance

It is 1ATM waterproof rated, meaning it is suitable for light water exposure but not actual submersion or swimming.

Health and Sports Tracking

The Watch X5i brings 24/7 heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep and stress tracking, and supports over 100 sports modes.

Connectivity

It pairs over Bluetooth 5.4 with support for on-device Bluetooth calling and is compatible with Android, iOS, and HarmonyOS devices.

Battery

The Watch X5i's 420mAh battery delivers up to 21 days of usage under normal conditions or 6 days in AOD mode.

Price and Availability

Honor Watch X5i comes in Midnight Black and Starlight White for CNY 219 ($32), available from Honor's official online store in China with deliveries starting April 15.

Final Thoughts

The Honor X70 Refresh Edition is more of a symbolic update than a meaningful one — the same phone with a new color and a pre-installed OS upgrade for a higher price. The Watch X5i, however, offers solid value at $32 with an exceptional 21-day battery life for a smartwatch in this segment.
