Between navigating heavy commutes, sitting through classes, and trying to squeeze in a quick workout, staying on top of health and daily activity can easily take a backseat. Xiaomi aims to address this with the launch of the REDMI Watch 6 Lite and Xiaomi Band 11 Active, two wearables designed for straightforward fitness tracking and keeping users connected on the go.
The REDMI Watch 6 Lite and Xiaomi Band 11 Active offer two distinct and affordable ways to track daily activities and wellness. Both devices will be available online starting August 25, while official Xiaomi offline stores will carry them starting September 15.
With long battery life and practical health and fitness features, the two new Xiaomi wearables cater to different routines. The REDMI Watch 6 Lite focuses on a larger smartwatch experience with more everyday smart features, while the Xiaomi Band 11 Active offers a lightweight design centered on fitness and essential health tracking.
A bigger smartwatch experience
For users who want a larger display and more everyday smart features, the REDMI Watch 6 Lite offers a smartwatch-like experience in a slim, sporty design.
The REDMI Watch 6 Lite features a 1.96-inch AMOLED display with a 410 × 502-pixel resolution, a narrow 2.88mm bezel, and peak brightness of up to 1,500 nits. It also supports an Always-On Display, allowing users to check key information at a glance.
The REDMI Watch 6 Lite has been redesigned with a flat-edge frame and a slimmer 9.9mm profile. Its quick-release strap makes it easy to change the watch’s look before heading to class or the gym.
For fitness tracking, the REDMI Watch 6 Lite supports 150 sport modes, including multi-system satellite positioning, 9-axis motion tracking, and a professional swim mode. The wearable also has 5 ATM water resistance and supports all-day heart-rate, blood oxygen, and stress tracking.
The device also features Bluetooth calling, allowing users to answer calls without missing a beat. A 470mAh battery powers the REDMI Watch 6 Lite and can last up to 12 days with regular use. By dialing back on the features, users can extend battery life to as much as 18 days between charges.
Lightweight fitness tracking
For users who want a compact fitness-focused companion, the Xiaomi Band 11 Active combines a lightweight build with essential activity and wellness features.
Weighing just 18 grams without the strap, the Xiaomi Band 11 Active is designed for comfortable all-day wear. It features a 1.47-inch display with a 60Hz refresh rate, a 2.5D screen cover, and a matte metal-paint textured middle frame. Its new striped-texture strap gives the device a youthful and energetic look.
The Xiaomi Band 11 Active supports 50 sport modes and offers 5 ATM water resistance for everyday activities and workouts. It also supports all-day pressure monitoring and multi-dimensional health management, including heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, and women’s health management features.
