Xiaomi has introduced the REDMI Watch 6 Active in the Philippines, expanding its wearable lineup with a smartwatch aimed at students, young professionals, and first-time smartwatch buyers.
The new model combines health and fitness tracking, Bluetooth calling, long battery life, and a lightweight design. It also moves to a 1.85-inch AMOLED display, giving users a brighter screen for notifications, workout metrics, and everyday information.
A brighter AMOLED display in a slimmer design
The REDMI Watch 6 Active features a 1.85-inch rectangular AMOLED display with a resolution of 390 x 450 pixels.
Peak brightness reaches up to 1,200 nits, which is designed to improve visibility in bright outdoor conditions. The watch also supports Always-On Display and comes with a refreshed user interface for easier access to key information.
Its design adopts a flat-edge frame rather than the more rounded styling used on some previous wearables. The watch measures 44.55mm x 39.4mm x 9.9mm and uses a PC polymer body paired with a TPU strap.
A Quick-Release strap mechanism allows users to change straps more easily depending on their preferred look or activity.
All-day health and fitness tracking
The REDMI Watch 6 Active is equipped with optical sensors that support continuous health monitoring throughout the day.
It includes 24/7 heart rate monitoring for tracking heart rate during both rest and physical activity, as well as real-time blood oxygen or SpO2 tracking.
All-day stress tracking is also available, with guided breathing recommendations provided when needed.
For everyday durability, the watch carries an IP68 water-resistance rating, allowing it to handle sweat, rain, and water splashes during workouts or outdoor activities.
Bluetooth calling from the wrist
The REDMI Watch 6 Active supports Bluetooth 5.3 and allows users to answer calls directly from the watch when it is connected to a compatible smartphone.
This gives users the option to take calls without immediately reaching for their phone, which can be useful during commutes, workouts, or other situations where their hands are occupied.
Up to 18 days of battery life
Powering the REDMI Watch 6 Active is a 470mAh battery. Xiaomi rates the watch for up to 18 days of operation under light usage and up to 12 days under normal daily use.
The longer battery life is intended to reduce charging frequency, particularly for users who rely on the watch for continuous health tracking, notifications, and daily activity monitoring.
Pricing and availability in the Philippines
The REDMI Watch 6 Active is officially priced at PHP2,599.
Xiaomi will begin its Philippine rollout online from August 21 to 30, 2026, when the watch will be available through the Xiaomi Online Store and Shopee. Early buyers during this period will receive a limited-edition strap while supplies last.
Starting August 31, 2026, the REDMI Watch 6 Active will become available across Xiaomi’s official online stores. Offline availability begins on September 15, 2026, through official Xiaomi Authorized Retail Stores nationwide.
With its combination of AMOLED display, health monitoring, Bluetooth calling, and multi-day battery life, the REDMI Watch 6 Active is positioned as an accessible smartwatch for users looking to add basic connected and wellness features to their everyday routine.
