Xiaomi’s Redmi Watch 6 landed in China as a clear budget-wearable upgrade: a large 2.07″ AMOLED panel, built-in GPS and health sensors, and multi-week battery life all in a thin aluminium frame aimed at buyers who want flagship looks without flagship price.
Redmi Watch 6 Key specifications
- Display: 2.07-inch AMOLED with 432×512 resolution, 60 Hz refresh rate, and high peak brightness for outdoor visibility.
- Battery & Software: 550 mAh battery offering up to 21 days of use in light mode; runs Xiaomi’s wearable software (HyperOS 3 / Surge OS 3 on some models).
- Health, Sport & Durability: Built-in GPS, SpO₂ and continuous heart-rate monitoring, automatic workout detection for 150+ sports modes, and 5ATM water resistance.
Redmi Watch 6 Design, Performance and Sensor Details
Design and Hardware: Redmi kept the Watch 6 slim and light aluminium frame, stainless-steel crown, twin buttons, roughly 9.9 mm thin and 31 g without the strap giving it a premium feel compared with older Redmi wearables. The near-edge-to-edge AMOLED display enhances the perceived value, especially for users who rely on it for notifications, maps, and workout metrics.
Performance and Sensors: The watch includes a mid-range sensor suite with continuous heart-rate, SpO₂, sleep, and stress tracking, plus GPS for standalone runs. The software supports automatic workout detection and over 150 sports modes ideal for casual athletes and everyday fitness tracking. Accuracy is solid for daily use, though high-end training precision remains a step above in premium devices.
Redmi Watch 6 Battery Life, Price and Availability
Battery and Real-World Use: The claimed “up to 24 days” battery life holds true for light users those who mainly check notifications, use minimal GPS, and keep screen time low. Heavy GPS use, frequent Bluetooth calls, or an always-on display will reduce endurance, typically giving anywhere from several days to a couple of weeks depending on usage. The 550 mAh cell helps the Watch 6 outperform many competitors in the sub-$100 segment.
Price and Availability: Redmi launched the Watch 6 in China at around CNY 599 (approximately USD $80). Global and India launches are yet to be announced, but regional pricing will likely vary. Xiaomi is expected to expand availability gradually based on market demand.
