Q: Do the S5's upgraded health sensors finally close the accuracy gap with dedicated sports watches?

Not yet. The Xiaomi Watch S5 appears to narrow the gap, but the available evidence does not show that it fully matches dedicated sports watches from brands such as Garmin, Polar, Coros or Suunto. Xiaomi’s upgrades are meaningful. The S5 adds a new four-LED, four-PD heart-rate and SpO2 sensor, a revised heart-rate algorithm said to reach 98.4% accuracy, and a sleep algorithm with reported gains in sleep onset, wake detection and sleep-stage tracking. Its dual-band five-system GNSS is also a major step up, with Xiaomi claiming 33% better positioning accuracy and 30% faster positioning than the S4. On paper, that should improve route tracking and workout reliability. But those are mostly manufacturer claims, not broad independent validation. The material provided does not include side-by-side testing against dedicated sports watches in difficult conditions such as interval training, trail running, dense urban areas or cold-weather use, where premium sports watches typically prove their value. It also notes the S5 still lacks some higher-end features seen on more advanced rivals, including sensors such as ECG and a depth gauge. The practical takeaway is that the S5 likely offers very good accuracy for a mainstream smartwatch, and probably enough for most runners, gym users and outdoor enthusiasts. For athletes who need consistently top-tier training metrics, proven sensor reliability and deeper performance tools, dedicated sports watches still hold the edge.
