Third-party reviews

What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Watch 6 Lite

  • The battery is rated for 12 days.
  • The 1.96-inch screen reaches 1500 nits and is easy to read in bright light.
  • At 27.8 g it is light enough to wear in bed.
  • Built-in GPS and 150 sport modes cover a wide range of training.
  • The IPX8 rating suits pool swimming.
  • A built-in speaker and microphone allow Bluetooth calls.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Watch 6 Lite

  • The plastic case looks and feels basic.
  • There is no NFC, so the watch cannot pay contactless.
  • Some notifications cannot be answered from the watch.
  • The always-on display and GPS workouts cut battery life noticeably.
  • The microphone struggles to pick up soft-spoken voices.

Verdict

Long battery life and a big screen set the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 6 Lite apart. Its 1.96-inch AMOLED screen reaches 1500 nits and stays readable in bright light. It is rated for 12 days, and in tests it lasted about 10 to 11 days, or 7 to 8 with the always-on screen. At 27.8 g and 10 mm thick, it is light enough to wear in bed or in the shower. It has built-in GPS, and the swim mode with an IPX8 rating suits pool sessions. The trade-off is the plastic case, which looks basic, and there is no NFC for contactless payment. It suits someone who wants a big, bright screen and long battery life for sleep and sport tracking, and does not need payments on the wrist.
