Xiaomi is preparing to expand its wearable lineup. The new Redmi Watch 6 Lite and Redmi Watch 6 Active have surfaced in the database of a Hungarian online retailer.

Redmi Watch 6 Lite: Budget-Friendly Features
The Redmi Watch 6 Lite arrives as an updated iteration of the base model. It features a 1.96-inch rectangular OLED display with a resolution of 410 x 502 pixels. The manufacturer has retained the 470 mAh battery while optimizing the chassis design: measuring 39.4 x 44.5 x 9.9 mm, the new model is noticeably thinner than its 11.4 mm predecessor.
The sensor suite covers industry-standard metrics: a heart rate monitor with SpO2 tracking and stress monitoring, an accelerometer, a compass, and an ambient light sensor. Key features for this budget tier include support for Bluetooth calling and a built-in GPS module. The device is rated 5 ATM for water resistance and utilizes a proprietary charging connector.
In Hungary, the model is priced at just under 25,000 forints (approximately $70). For comparison, the standard Redmi Watch 6 already available in the region retails for around $106, while the NFC variant costs $126.
Redmi Watch 6 Active for $45
The More Affordable Redmi Watch 6 Active
Although full specifications for the Redmi Watch 6 Active were not fully disclosed on the retail site, previous leaks have provided sufficient context. The model is expected to feature a 1.85-inch OLED display with a 390 x 450 pixel resolution. Despite its entry-level status, it retains the same 470 mAh battery capacity.
Functionally, the Active version will offer a heart rate monitor, SpO2 tracking, and over 140 sports modes. According to the local retailer, the model is priced at 17,000 forints (about $45), making it a more accessible alternative to the Lite series.
Editor’s Take
Xiaomi continues its strategy of saturating the market with devices differentiated by minor design tweaks and sensor sets, allowing users to find the perfect fit for their budget. The 6th-generation refresh makes even these budget watches more compact and ergonomic, which is crucial for 24/7 comfort. Thanks to the substantial 470 mAh battery and expanded sports features, these new models remain an attractive choice for those who do not require premium features but prioritize a reliable fitness tracker.
