Warsaw, May 6: Xiaomi has officially launched the Redmi Watch 6 and Redmi Watch 6 NFC outside of China, several months after its initial release in October. The international availability currently includes Poland, Romania, and Thailand, with the NFC model exclusively available in Poland for the time being.
The Redmi Watch 6 boasts a 2.07-inch AMOLED display featuring a 60Hz refresh rate and a pixel density of 324ppi. It has symmetrical 2mm bezels and an impressive 82% screen-to-body ratio. Xiaomi claims the display can achieve peak brightness levels of up to 2,000 nits, enhancing visibility in outdoor settings. The smartwatch also supports an always-on display and a raise-to-wake feature.
With a sleek 9.9mm body, the watch employs a unibody design crafted from an aluminum alloy. Xiaomi states that it is 1.4mm thinner than its predecessor, offering 20% greater Vickers hardness and a 40% higher yield point. The design includes a raised stainless steel dial and an additional physical button that provides quick access to the control center, shutdown or restart menu, and an emergency contact shortcut with a triple press.
Battery performance is another standout feature. The Redmi Watch 6 is equipped with a 550mAh battery, promising up to 24 days of life with light usage, 12 days with regular use, and seven days under intensive conditions. It also includes a linear motor that offers over 20 vibration patterns for alarms, notifications, fitness alerts, and health updates.
For fitness enthusiasts, the watch supports more than 150 sports modes, features 5ATM water resistance, and includes independent GNSS. The GNSS system utilizes dual L1 antennas and supports five positioning systems to enhance accuracy. Xiaomi asserts that the watch can automatically select the antenna with the strongest signal based on how it is worn.
Health monitoring features include 24/7 heart rate tracking, blood oxygen level monitoring, stress assessment, sleep analysis, breathing exercises, abnormal heart rate alerts, low blood oxygen vibration notifications, and women’s health management. The Redmi Watch 6 NFC variant also supports contactless payments through Mastercard and Visa.
