Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

Regularly clean your Redmi Watch 6 to ensure optimal performance and hygiene.

  • Wipe the screen and body with a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • If necessary, dampen the cloth slightly with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Clean the charging contacts periodically to ensure good connection.

Water Resistance (5ATM)

The Redmi Watch 6 has a water resistance rating of 5ATM, meaning it can withstand pressures equivalent to a depth of 50 meters. This makes it suitable for swimming in pools or shallow waters.

Battery Care

  • Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
  • Store the watch in a cool, dry place if not used for extended periods.
  • Use only the provided magnetic charging cable.

Software Updates

Ensure your watch's software (Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0) is always up to date for the best performance and latest features. Check for updates through the Mi Fitness app.
