The new Redmi Watch 6 is thinner and has an extra button | Infinium-tech
The new Redmi Watch 6 brings a slimmer design, an extra button, and other improvements over the Redmi Watch 5, which was announced just over a year ago. The watch is now available in China at a price of CNY 600 ($85/€75/₹7,500), which is the same price as the previous model. It comes in three colors: blue, silver and black.

Like its predecessor, the Watch 6 features a rectangular 2.07″ OLED display with rounded corners. However, the new display is brighter and can reach 2,000 nits peak, up from 1,500 nits. The thinner bezels also create smaller dimensions – 46.5 x 40.0 x 9.94 mm compared to 47.5 x 41.1 x 11.3 mm.
Let us underline that last dimension again – the 2025 watch is a hair less than 10mm thick. This is an important milestone and will make the watch look smaller on your hand. Its weight is roughly the same at 31 grams versus 33.5 grams (note: this is without the strap).
On the side of the aluminum alloy unibody is the familiar stainless steel crown – and a new shortcut button. It can trigger three customizable actions: click, long press, and double click. By default, these show Control Center, open the power menu, and call your emergency contact.
Always On Display is an option, but it will drain your battery life. The 550mAh battery is the same capacity as last year and can last up to 24 days with light usage, up to 12 days with health tracking enabled, and up to 7 days with AOD enabled.
Redmi Watch 6 features dual L1 antennas for more accurate positioning outdoors. It also features simple heart rate, blood oxygen and sleep tracking, as well as 150+ sports modes. It’s rated 5ATM, so it’s suitable for snorkeling and can continue to measure your heart rate even underwater.
The watch comes with HyperOS 3 out of the box and supports Bluetooth 5.4 for communication with your phone. There is no eSIM option available yet. It supports QR-based payment systems as well as NFC for things like digital bus passes and car keys.
It can also handle quick replies to WeChat messages. You can install third-party apps for additional functionality, for example games like Flightradar24, 2048, and others.
Again, Xiaomi Redmi Watch 6 is already available in chinaBut there is no word on a global release. Seeing as how widely available the Watch 5 is, we think it’s only a matter of time.
