Xiaomi’s sub-brand Redmi launched its first smartwatch alongside the Redmi Note 9 5G series. The Redmi Watch, as it is called, comes with some common smartwatch features. However, its pricing has caught many people’s eyes. Let’s look into the features and the expected price in Nepal, availability of the Redmi Watch.
Redmi Watch Overview:

Whether the Redmi Watch will be available elsewhere, we don’t know yet. However, speculation is that this watch could be available in the global market as Xiaomi Mi Watch Lite. |
The Redmi Watch sports a rectangular 1.4-inch color display. It has a resolution of 320 x 320 pixels and 2.5D glass. The design of this watch is similar to the Apple Watch. However, the price… is miles apart. You can choose between Elegant Black, Ivory White, and Ink Blue colors for the watch. And the additional colors available for the TPU straps are Cherry Blossom Pin and Pine Needle Green.
The watch measures 41 x 32 x 11.9 mm in dimensions and weighs just 35g. However, don’t let its small size fool you as its 230mAh battery is rated to last for 7 days with normal usage—and 12 days with the power-saving mode on.
Health, Fitness Tracking
As with every other smartwatch, the Redmi Watch too comes with fitness-related features. The features include heart-rate monitor, sleep-tracking, breathing training, and more. But that’s pretty limited considering how its competitor like Honor Band 6 comes with a much more diverse set of health tracking features like blood oxygen level (SpO2) and women’s health tracking.

Additionally, it also includes seven different sport modes such as outdoor running, indoor running, outdoor cycling, indoor cycling, walking, swimming, and free activities. This number is also outshined by the Honor Band 6, which has 10 sports modes altogether. Also, the watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters.
Redmi Watch can be customized with over 120 watch faces with the help of the Mi Fit app (Android | iOS). For pairing, the device uses Bluetooth 5.0 (BLE) and it also comes with NFC. Other features include Xiao AI and Alipay support for Chinese users.
Redmi Watch Price in Nepal and Availability
Redmi Watch will be available in China from December 1, where its price is CNY 299 ($45). However, its promotional price is CNY 296 ($40). If it becomes available in Nepal, the Redmi Watch could come with an expected price of NPR 6,000.
