On the fitness and health side, the Redmi Watch 3 packs a GNSS chip covering five satellite systems: GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo, and QZSS. It supports 121 sports modes including outdoor running, cycling, and swimming, plus 10 built-in running coaches with watch-based coaching support. Health tracking includes a blood oxygen monitor, continuous heart rate tracker, and sleep monitor. The watch holds a 5ATM water-resistance rating and supports Bluetooth calling with an emergency call feature.
Redmi Band 2: Specifications and Features
The Redmi Band 2 uses a 1.47-inch TFT LCD screen with a 172×320 pixel resolution and 450 nits of brightness. It supports over 100 watch faces, and users can set any photo from their phone as a dial wallpaper. With 30 sports modes and a 5ATM water-resistance rating, it covers everyday fitness needs comfortably.
Health features on the Band 2 include a blood oxygen monitor, heart rate tracker, sleep tracker, and a period tracker — the last of which is absent on the Watch 3. A vibration motor handles notifications and reminders. The 210 mAh battery is rated for up to 14 days of use on a single charge, edging out the Watch 3 thanks to the smaller, less power-hungry LCD panel. Like the Watch 3, it works with devices running Android 6.0 or iOS 12 and above.
Which Should You Choose?
If you need GPS, Bluetooth calling, a large AMOLED screen, and a broad set of 121 sports modes, the Redmi Watch 3 at ₹7,000 is the stronger option. If you want a lighter, more affordable fitness band with longer battery life and a period tracker, the Redmi Band 2 at ₹2,000 is excellent value. Both are solid additions to the Gadgets lineup for budget-conscious buyers.
