REDMI Watch 6 Active: Bright, Light and Ready for Everyday Life
If you want a smartwatch that’s comfortable to wear, easy to use and doesn’t need charging every night, the REDMI Watch 6 Active is worth a look. It has a large, vivid display, battery life measured in days, and health tracking with Bluetooth calling built in.
Bright, Sharp Display
The watch has a 1.85″ square AMOLED screen with a 390 × 450 resolution and 322 PPI, so text, icons and watch faces look crisp. Peak brightness reaches 1200 nits, which keeps the screen easy to read even in strong sunlight.
Slim and Light
The watch measures 44.5 × 39.4 × 9.9 mm and weighs just 26 g without the strap. The frame is plastic with a metallic spray coating, so it looks refined without adding weight.
The TPU strap fits wrists from 135 to 205 mm, which suits most people. It comes in Midnight Black, Matte Silver and Sunset Orange.
Battery Life
The 470 mAh battery lasts for days between charges. In Xiaomi’s test conditions, you get:
- Light usage: 18 days
- Normal usage: 12 days
- Heavy usage: 6 days
These numbers depend on your settings. The 12-day figure assumes advanced sleep monitoring, all-day stress monitoring and all-day blood oxygen monitoring are on, and the 6-day figure uses an always-on display watch face. Your real results will vary with how you use it. The watch charges with a magnetic cable.
Health and Fitness Tracking
A heart rate sensor with built-in blood oxygen sensing and an accelerometer support all-day heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen monitoring, advanced sleep monitoring and all-day stress monitoring. It can also record workouts with GNSS enabled, which is useful for outdoor sessions.
Calls and Connectivity
The watch supports Bluetooth calling and has a built-in speaker, so you can take calls from your wrist. Message notifications show up on the screen too, so you don’t have to pull out your phone.
It uses Bluetooth 5.3 and runs Xiaomi HyperOS. It works with Android 8.0+ and iOS 14.0+. IP68 water resistance covers sweat, rain and everyday splashes.
