Redmi Watch 6: Specifications and Features
The Redmi Watch 6 features a large 2.07-inch AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate, 324ppi pixel density, 2mm bezels, and an 82% screen-to-body ratio. Xiaomi says the screen can reach up to 2,000 nits of brightness for clear colours and good visibility, even in sunlight. The watch also supports an always-on display and a raise-to-wake feature.
The watch has a sleek rectangular shape and lets users choose from a variety of watch faces for both style and functionality.
It offers health-tracking features such as heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, sleep analysis, and stress monitoring. The watch also supports over 150 sports modes, making it a versatile choice for fitness.
The watch is water-resistant, so it can handle daily use and workouts. It connects to smartphones to display notifications, show call alerts, and control music.
Battery Performance
A key feature of the Redmi Watch 6 is its long battery life, thanks to its 550 mAh battery. Xiaomi says it can last up to 24 days on a single charge with typical use, 12 days with normal use and seven days with heavy use. This long battery life helps it stand out among budget smartwatches, making it a key differentiator.

Besides NFC, the smartwatch keeps all the main features of the standard version, like the AMOLED display, fitness tracking, and long battery life.
