Xiaomi expands affordable wearable lineup with Redmi Watch 6 NFC and Smart Band 10 Pro

Xiaomi has added two low‑cost wearables to its portfolio. The Redmi Watch 6 NFC retails for about €120 and features a 2.07‑inch AMOLED screen, aluminium alloy case, 31 g weight and a 550 mAh battery that can last up to 24 days in light use. It includes NFC for contact‑less payments (though functionality is limited), GPS/BeiDou positioning, 5 ATM water resistance and a suite of health sensors. Reviewers praise its comfort and battery life but note the closed software ecosystem and the restricted NFC capabilities.

The Smart Band 10 Pro, priced around €65, pushes the price‑performance envelope with a 1.74‑inch AMOLED display that can reach 2 000 nits, ceramic or aluminium finishes, and a 5 ATM water‑proof rating. heart‑rate monitoring claims 98.2 % accuracy and matches Apple Watch Ultra 2 readings in most activities. The band lacks physical buttons, a microphone and speakers, and while it supports NFC it does not enable payments. Reviewers highlight its bright screen and reliable sensors, but criticize the absence of audio functions and buttonless underwater operation.

Both devices target budget‑conscious consumers seeking long battery life and basic smartwatch features, reinforcing Xiaomi’s dominance in the affordable wearable market.
