Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist — roughly 49–68mm across the flat of the wrist. Neither will fit where the other won't, so decide on thickness, weight and features instead.
The Redmi Watch 5 wears larger than the Redmi Watch 6 (41.1mm vs 40mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Redmi Watch 6 is the slimmer of the two (9.9mm vs 11.3mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Redmi Watch 6 feels lighter (31g vs 33.5g, case only).
The Redmi Watch 5 is thinner than 71% of the 41mm watches we track and the Redmi Watch 6 than 67% of the 40mm ones — so both wear flatter than their widths suggest.
The Redmi Watch 5 is 1.1mm wider, 1mm longer, 1.4mm thicker and 2.5g heavier than the Redmi Watch 6. Both are rectangle.
