Xiaomi's latest launch event has introduced the much-awaited Redmi Note 11 Pro series in India. Alongside, a new wearable named Redmi Watch 2 Lite also debuted under the Redmi brand. Priced at Rs 4,999, the smartwatch now comes as a budget option by Redmi for those wanting to stay connected on the go as well as keep track of their health.

For this, the Watch 2 Lite from Redmi comes with a host of health-monitoring features. Some highlights include more than 100 workout modes, blood Oxygen measurement, continuous stress monitoring as well as a heart rate tracker. To check out these and all the other features, here, we have a detailed look at what the new Redmi smartwatch has to offer.

Redmi Watch 2 Lite has been launched for Rs 4,999 in India. It will go on sale starting March 15 and will be available on both online and offline channels including the official Mi website, Amazon India website, Mi Home, Reliance Digital and other retail stores.

The new Watch 2 Lite follows the typical design and build that we have seen on the previous Redmi smartwatches. This means a large, squarish watch face with rounded corners, all of which is made of plastic. The watch strap is made of a TPU material, which serves as a replacement for hard plastic in various gadgets.

The good thing this time around is the host of colour options you can opt for. The Redmi Watch 2 Lite will be available in a total of six colours, though note that the watch face will only have three different colours - Ivory, Black, and Blue. The rest of the colour choices are displayed on the watch strap - Pink, Olive and Brown, in addition to the three colours above. So, there are three options with all solid colours of - Ivory, Black, and Blue, and three options with mixed colours - an Ivory watch face with Olive and Pink strap each, and one model with Black watch face and Brown strap.

Other than the design, users will also be able to customise the watch face with over 100 watch faces on the 1.55-inch TFT touchscreen that comes with a resolution of 320 x 360 pixels. With the large screen, the dimensions of the watch face measure 41.2mm x 35.3mm across its length and width, and 10.7mm in thickness. Including the strap, the Watch 2 Lite weighs 35 grams, which should be quite lightweight for most smartwatch users.

In terms of functionality, Redmi says that the Watch 2 Lite will come with more than 100 fitness modes to track your exercise sessions and daily physical activities. These include a total of 17 professional modes and other, less mainstream options to choose from.
