A 2.07″ screen, built-in GPS and 24 days of battery
An aluminium-framed smartwatch with a big AMOLED, dual-band positioning, swim tracking and Bluetooth calling. Irish stock, Irish warranty.
Redmi Watch 6: a big-screen smartwatch with real GPS and a real battery
The Redmi Watch 6 is the step up from the Watch 6 Active, and the differences are the ones that matter for sport. It has built-in GNSS with dual L1 antennas across five satellite systems, so you can leave your phone at home on a run and still get an accurate route. It is rated 5ATM and suitable for pool swimming, with heart rate tracking in the water. And the 550 mAh battery is rated for up to 24 days of light use.
The display is a 2.07″ square AMOLED at 432 × 514 pixels, with 2 mm symmetrical bezels, an 82% screen-to-body ratio and up to 2000 nits of peak brightness. The case uses an aluminium alloy frame in a unibody design that is 1.4 mm slimmer than the Redmi Watch 5, and there are now two physical controls: a raised stainless steel crown and a secondary button that can call an emergency contact with a triple press.
Day to day it handles notifications, Bluetooth calls through its speaker and microphone, remote camera control and 512MB of local music storage for Android users. It works with Android 8.0 and iOS 14.0 or later, and tracks heart rate, blood oxygen, stress and sleep around the clock.
Redmi Watch 6 price and availability in Ireland
Every Redmi Watch 6 we sell is Irish stock supplied through mStore.ie, not a grey import. That means an Irish warranty you can actually claim against, and no customs bill arriving after the watch does. Colour availability varies — the colours held in Dublin are the ones listed on this page.
2.07″ AMOLED with 2 mm bezels
Ultra-slim symmetrical bezels push the screen to 82% of the front, and upgraded display materials lift peak brightness to 2000 nits for clear reading in direct sun. The Always-on Display keeps the time visible when the screen is off, and portrait watch faces let a photo float above the clock.
| Screen | 2.07″ square AMOLED |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 432 × 514, 324 PPI |
| Brightness | 2000 nits peak, 1500 nits HBM |
| Refresh rate | 60Hz |
| Screen-to-body ratio | 82%, 2 mm bezels |
| Always-on Display | Yes (enable in settings) |
Aluminium frame, crown and a second button
The unibody case is 1.4 mm slimmer than the Redmi Watch 5, and its aluminium alloy mid-frame is 20% harder and 40% stronger in yield. A raised stainless steel crown handles scrolling, while a new secondary button adds shortcuts — including an emergency call to a saved contact.
- Aluminium alloy frame, 9.94 mm thick, about 31 g without strap
- Rotating stainless steel crown with red trim
- Secondary button: press for control centre, hold for power menu
- Triple-press to call your emergency contact
- Screen auto-rotates for left or right wrist wear
- Quick-release TPU strap, fits 135–205 mm wrists
Up to 24 days on a single charge
A 550 mAh battery gets you through a fortnight of normal use with every health feature switched on, and a full week even with the Always-on Display running. A short business trip or holiday needs no charger at all. It charges from the magnetic cable included in the box.
| Capacity | 550 mAh |
|---|---|
| Light usage | Up to 24 days |
| Normal usage | Up to 12 days, all health tracking on |
| Heavy usage | Up to 7 days, Always-on Display on |
| Charging | Magnetic charging cable (included) |
Run without your phone, swim with your watch
Built-in GNSS uses two L1 antennas and picks whichever has the stronger signal based on how you wear the watch, across GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS. It is rated 5ATM for pool and shallow open-water swimming, with heart rate tracking in the water, and more than 150 sports modes record everything else.
- Independent GNSS — accurate routes without your phone
- Dual L1 antennas, five satellite systems
- 5ATM water resistance, certified by TÜV SÜD
- Heart rate tracking while swimming
- 150+ sports modes including running, cycling and hiking
- Real-time heart rate and calorie tracking during workouts
Around-the-clock health tracking
Upgraded algorithms improve heart rate accuracy, measuring every minute during activity and every ten minutes at rest. The watch vibrates to alert you to abnormal heart rate or low blood oxygen, and tracks sleep and stress through the day. It is a wellness tracker, not a medical device.
- All-day heart rate with abnormal heart rate alerts
- All-day blood oxygen (SpO₂) with low-level alerts
- All-day sleep tracking and analysis
- All-day stress monitoring
- Four guided breathing techniques
- Menstrual cycle reminders

Frequently asked questions
Can I swim with the Redmi Watch 6?
Yes. It is rated 5ATM, certified by TÜV SÜD, and suitable for pool swimming and shallow open-water swimming, with heart rate tracking in the water. It is not suitable for hot showers, saunas, deep diving or high-speed water sports. Water resistance is not permanent and can deteriorate over time.
Does it have built-in GPS?
Yes. It has independent GNSS with dual L1 antennas, supporting GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS. You can track the route and distance of an outdoor run or ride without taking your phone.
Does it work with an iPhone?
Yes. It pairs with iPhones running iOS 14.0 or later and Android phones running Android 8.0 or later, through the Mi Fitness app. A couple of features are Android only, including playing music stored on the watch.
How long does the battery last?
Xiaomi's lab testing gives up to 24 days of light use, around 12 days of normal use with all-day health monitoring on, and about 7 days of heavy use with the Always-on Display enabled. Heavy GPS use will shorten these figures.
Can I take calls on the watch?
Yes. It has a built-in speaker and microphone for Bluetooth calling, so you can answer and make phone calls from your wrist while it is connected to your phone.
How does the emergency call work?
Triple-press the secondary button to call your emergency contact. You need to set it up first in the Mi Fitness app under Security > Emergency SOS, with the app updated to the latest version.
Does it come with a charger?
It comes with a magnetic charging cable. There is no wall plug in the box — plug the cable into any USB port or USB phone charger you already have.
Can I pay contactlessly with it?
No NFC is listed in the specification, so contactless payments are not supported on this model.
Should I buy the Watch 6 or the Watch 6 Active?
Take the Watch 6 if you run, cycle or swim: it adds built-in GPS, 5ATM swim rating, an aluminium frame, a bigger and brighter screen and longer battery life. Take the Watch 6 Active if you mainly want notifications, calls and health tracking in a lighter, cheaper watch.
Is it a medical device?
No. The heart rate, blood oxygen, stress and sleep features are for general wellness and are not designed to diagnose, prevent or treat any condition. Talk to a doctor if you have concerns about your health.
