Xiaomi Redmi Watch 2 Lite's India launch set for March 9

Xiaomi's Redmi unveiled the Redmi Smart Band Pro and Redmi Watch 2 Lite last October. The Redmi Smart Band Pro was launched in India last month, and today the company announced it will introduce the Redmi Watch 2 Lite in the Asian country next week - on March 9.

The Redmi Watch 2 Lite will come with an in-built GPS, allowing you to track your workout routes without requiring a smartphone. Besides, the event page on Xiaomi India's official website reveals the Watch 2 Lite will be offered in Ivory and Black colors. There's also a Blue color version, but since it's not included in the promo, Indian customers may only get two color options to choose from.

The Redmi Watch 2 Lite sports a 1.55" color TFT screen of 360x320-pixel resolution with support for 100+ watch faces. The smartwatch has 5ATM water resistance and packs a 262 mAh battery, advertised to last up to five days under heavy usage mode and 10 days under typical usage mode.

The wearable is compatible with Android and iOS devices and comes with heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and blood oxygen saturation level measurement. The rest of the health and fitness features include step counter, stress monitoring, and over 100 workout modes.

The Redmi Watch 2 Lite also comes with notification alerts, phone finder, and music control. We'll find out more about its pricing and availability in India at the event next Wednesday, where Redmi will also introduce two smartphones in the country - Redmi Note 11 Pro and Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G.
