Xiaomi is expanding its wearable lineup with three devices aimed at different needs, from wrist-based calls and outdoor tracking to everyday health monitoring in a lighter fitness band. The REDMI Watch 6 Active, REDMI Watch 6 Lite and Xiaomi Smart Band 11 Active join the company’s ecosystem alongside the newly launched REDMI Note 17 Series.
Their differences come down to display technology, tracking capabilities and form factor.
REDMI Watch 6 Active brings a brighter AMOLED display
The REDMI Watch 6 Active features a 1.85-inch AMOLED display with a 390 × 450 resolution and peak brightness of up to 1,200 nits. It also supports Always-On Display and Bluetooth 5.3 calling, allowing users to handle calls from their wrist.
A 470mAh battery is rated for up to 18 days of light use or 12 days of normal use. The watch also offers IP68 water resistance, a PC polymer frame and a 9.9mm flat-edge profile with a quick-release TPU strap.
For health tracking, Xiaomi lists all-day heart-rate, blood oxygen (SpO2) and stress monitoring, alongside optical heart-rate and acceleration sensors.
REDMI Watch 6 Lite adds satellite positioning
The REDMI Watch 6 Lite steps up to a 1.96-inch AMOLED display with a 410 × 502 resolution, 2.8mm bezels and peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits. Like the Active model, it has a 470mAh battery, Bluetooth 5.3 calling and a 9.9mm profile, with Xiaomi quoting the same battery-life figures.
Its main advantage is its tracking hardware. The watch supports multi-system satellite positioning and includes a 9-axis motion sensor, electronic compass, accelerometer and gyroscope.
Xiaomi also lists more than 150 sports modes, 5ATM water resistance and a dedicated swim mode. An ambient light sensor adjusts screen brightness automatically, while the AMOLED panel provides a larger viewing area than the Active model.
Smart Band 11 Active keeps things compact
The Xiaomi Smart Band 11 Active takes a simpler, lighter approach. Weighing 18 grams and measuring 10.2mm thick, it uses a 1.47-inch TFT display with a 172 × 320 resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate and a 2.5D screen cover.
Its 300mAh battery is rated for up to 21 days of extended use or eight days of typical daily use. The band supports 50 sports modes and 5ATM water resistance, along with all-day heart-rate, SpO2 and stress monitoring, sleep tracking and women’s health management.
A matte, metal-textured frame and textured TPU strap give it a different look from the larger REDMI watches, while its compact design makes it the more straightforward option for users who want fitness and wellness tracking without a full-sized watch.
Availability in the Philippines
Xiaomi says the three wearables are available through official Xiaomi Stores nationwide, the company’s official online store, Shopee and Lazada.
The lineup gives buyers three distinct options: the REDMI Watch 6 Active for everyday smartwatch features, the REDMI Watch 6 Lite for satellite-based activity tracking, and the Smart Band 11 Active for a lighter fitness-focused device. Battery life will vary with settings and usage.
