The Redmi Watch 6 Lite and Watch 6 Active have been making the rounds in the rumor mill, but little did we know that Xiaomi has already launched the two watches in Nepal.
The Redmi Watch 6 Lite and Watch 6 Active went official in Nepal a couple of weeks back and are now available through physical stores for now, with online listings expected to follow.
The Redmi Watch 6 Active costs NPR 10,999 (~ $70). Whereas the Redmi Watch 6 Lite is more expensive at NPR 14,999 (~ $98).
Redmi Watch 5 Active and Watch 6 Lite Specifications
Both watches carry the same 44.50 x 39.40 x 9.90mm body, a plastic frame, and a TPU strap, with a slightly sharper, boxier shape than the previous generation. The Active now comes with an IP68 rating, an upgrade over the water-only rating on its predecessor. The Lite has a 5ATM rating and adds a red home button on a small side bump. And this is the only thing that tells the two apart at a glance.
The bigger change on both watches is the screen. Neither the Watch 5 Active nor the Watch 5 Lite had AMOLED panels, and this year both new watches do. The Active gets a 1.85-inch AMOLED at 390 x 450 pixels. The Lite gets a larger 1.96-inch panel at 410 x 502 pixels with higher peak brightness. Both support always-on display.
Where they differ is fitness tracking. The Lite includes a 9-axis motion sensor with a compass, satellite positioning, an ambient light sensor, and support for more than 150 sports modes, plus 5 ATM water resistance for swimming.
The Active keeps things basic, with heart rate, SpO2, and step tracking, and no satellite positioning. Both offer up to 18 days of runtime on light use and 12 days of normal use from a 470mAh battery. Both connect over Bluetooth 5.3 and support calls from the watch.
