Xiaomi just launched the REDMI Watch 6 Active in the Philippines, adding a feature-packed smartwatch aimed at active users, students, young professionals, and first-time smartwatch buyers to its lineup.
The new wearable combines fitness tracking, health-monitoring tools, Bluetooth calling, and extended battery life in a lightweight design intended for everyday use.
Display and Design
The REDMI Watch 6 Active boasts a 1.85-inch AMOLED display with a 390 x 450-pixel resolution. Its screen reaches up to 1,200 nits of peak brightness. This helps to keep notifications, workout information, and other details visible outdoors, including under direct sunlight.
The smartwatch also supports Always-On Display and includes a refreshed user interface for quicker access to essential information. Its flat-edge frame measures 44.55 mm by 39.4 mm by 9.9 mm, with a PC polymer body and TPU strap. At 9.9 mm thick, the device is designed for all-day comfort.
Users can also change its appearance through the Quick-Release strap mechanism, which allows the strap to be replaced without a complicated process.
Health and Fitness Features
For wellness tracking, the REDMI Watch 6 Active has optical sensors that provide continuous health insights. It offers 24/7 heart-rate monitoring, blood oxygen or SpO2 tracking, and all-day stress monitoring.
The stress-tracking feature can provide guided breathing recommendations when needed. The smartwatch is also rated IP68 for water resistance, offering protection against everyday sweat, rain, and water splashes during activities.
Connectivity and Battery
Bluetooth 5.3 enables Bluetooth calling to allow users to answer phone calls from their wrist without taking out their smartphone. The feature is designed for situations such as commuting, multitasking, or exercising.
The smartwatch’s 470mAh battery can deliver up to 18 days of operation under light usage and up to 12 days under normal daily usage.

The REDMI Watch 6 Active is priced at PHP 2,599 in the Philippines. An online early-bird promotion will run from August 21 to 30, 2026, through the Xiaomi Online Store and Shopee. Buyers during the promotional period can receive a free limited strap while supplies last.
