Third-party reviews

What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Watch 6

  • The battery is rated for 12 days.
  • The 2.1-inch screen peaks at 2000 nits, so it reads well in sunlight.
  • At 31 g it is light enough to wear all day.
  • Heart rate stays within about 1.7 bpm of a chest strap on steady runs.
  • NFC allows contactless payment.
  • Waterproof to 50 m suits swimming in shallow pools.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Watch 6

  • The GPS takes about three minutes to find a signal outdoors.
  • City routes zigzag through buildings.
  • Third-party apps cannot be installed.
  • It has no ECG and no blood pressure monitoring.
  • The strap is proprietary and will not take standard straps.

Verdict

If you want a bright screen for outdoor use, the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 6 is a sensible pick for everyday fitness. The 2.1-inch AMOLED screen peaks at 2000 nits, so the text stays readable in direct sun. It is rated for 12 days, and in tests it lasted about a week with the always-on screen on. It is light at 31 g and only 9.9 mm thick, so it is comfortable through a workday and a training session. Heart rate stays within about 1.7 bpm of a chest strap on steady runs. The trade-off is the GPS, which takes about three minutes to find a signal outdoors and zigzags through city streets. It suits someone who wants a light everyday watch with good heart and sleep tracking and does not need exact city routes.
