It also adds ECG functionality, along with an integrated EMG sensor capable of measuring hand muscle activity. This allows the watch to recognize specific finger and hand gestures, including pinching fingers together or clenching a fist. According to Xiaomi, these gestures can be used to answer calls, dismiss alarms, or remotely trigger the camera on a connected smartphone.
In terms of pricing and configurations, the Xiaomi Watch 5 starts at around $285 with a rubber strap. An eSIM-enabled version paired with a leather band is priced at approximately $330. Buyers can also opt for a 3D-printed titanium band for an additional $110.
