The Redmi Watch 6 has been officially unveiled by Xiaomi. As a proper successor to the affordable Watch 5, it appears to have brought some changes in terms of the overall design, but the screen size is confirmed to remain the same.

Xiaomi has officially introduced the Redmi Watch 6. This line of smartwatches tends to be affordable, and even with budget-friendly price tags, they tend to be full of features. As for the newest smartwatch, per the official pictures, it seems that the company has tweaked the design a bit.

More specifically, Xiaomi appears to have added a new button on the right side, right beneath the crown. This design is more similar to the latest non-Ultra Apple Watch models. Of course, it's still unclear what functions the new button will be assigned to.

The company has also confirmed that the Redmi Watch 6 will feature a 2.07-inch display, which is the same as the predecessor (curr. $113 on Amazon). With the new teasers, Xiaomi has revealed that it will be an AMOLED panel as well.

Apart from these, the official teasers have revealed that the smartwatch will be available in three color options: Bright Moon Silver, Elegant Black, and Mist Blue. The mid-frame will be of "high-strength aluminum," which is touted to be sturdy and durable. Xiaomi also highlights that the Redmi Watch 6 will sport a slim and exquisite build. The battery life stays the same as the predecessor, which is up to 24 hours of runtime, and the screen is said to sport 2 mm bezels.

As for the other specs, they are still under wraps, but it's worth noting that the predecessor came with 5-system GNSS, Bluetooth calling support, and a linear motor for better haptic feedback. More details about the new Watch 6 will be revealed on October 23, 2025, in China, which is also the Chinese launch date for the K90 series.
