Quick answer

Choose the Redmi Watch 5 Active (৳4,490) if you want Bluetooth calling, a big screen and up to 18 days of battery at the lowest price. Choose the Amazfit Bip 6 (৳9,690) if you run or cycle outdoors: it adds built-in GPS and a much brighter AMOLED display, for roughly twice the money.

Both watches take Bluetooth calls, track 140+ sports and last well over a week per charge. Yet in Bangladesh, the Bip 6 costs about twice as much as the Redmi.

Here is what the extra money buys, using Xiaomi's and Amazfit's official specifications.

Display: LCD vs AMOLED

The Redmi has a slightly bigger 2.0-inch LCD with up to 500 nits. It is easy to read indoors and in shade.

The Bip 6 uses a 1.97-inch AMOLED rated up to 2000 nits. AMOLED shows deeper blacks and richer colors, and the higher brightness helps you read it outdoors in harsh afternoon sun.

If you mostly glance at the time and notifications at work or at home, the Redmi's screen is enough. If you check your watch on a rickshaw, a bike or a cricket field at midday, the Bip 6's brighter panel is the more comfortable choice.

GPS: the biggest difference

Xiaomi confirms the Redmi Watch 5 Active has no GPS hardware. It uses your phone's location through the Mi Fitness app, so to map a run or ride you must carry your phone.

The Bip 6 has built-in GPS, rated at about 32 hours of continuous tracking. You can leave your phone at home and still record distance, pace and route. If you only count steps and sleep, you do not need this.

Battery and water resistance

On paper the Redmi lasts longer: up to 18 days of typical use against 14 for the Bip 6. With heavy use the figures drop to about 12 and 6 days. In battery-saver mode, Amazfit rates the Bip 6 at up to 26 days.

Both are rated 5ATM, which covers rain, sweat and hand-washing. Xiaomi notes the Redmi has no workout modes for recording water sports, so swimmers should pick the Bip 6. Avoid hot showers and saunas with either.

Which should you buy?

  • Buy the Redmi Watch 5 Active for calls, notifications, steps, sleep and a long battery on a tight budget.
  • Buy the Amazfit Bip 6 if you run, cycle or swim and want phone-free GPS tracking and a sharper, brighter screen.

Neither watch has a SIM slot. Both take calls through your phone over Bluetooth, so keep the phone within range. Before you buy, check that the companion app (Mi Fitness or Zepp) supports your phone. Lagbe sells both with Cash on Delivery, free delivery inside Dhaka (৳60 outside) and 7-day returns.

Frequently asked questions

Is Redmi Watch 5 Active waterproof?

Xiaomi rates it 5ATM, equal to 50 metres of water pressure. That covers rain, sweat and hand-washing. Xiaomi also notes it has no workout modes for recording water sports, so it will not log swimming. If you swim regularly, the 5 ATM Amazfit Bip 6 is the better choice.

Is Redmi Watch 5 Active compatible with iPhone?

Yes. It pairs with Android phones and iPhones through Xiaomi's Mi Fitness app. Some notification and quick-reply features can be more limited on iPhone than on Android, so iPhone users should check the details first. The Amazfit Bip 6 also works with both through the Zepp app.

Does the Redmi Watch 5 Active have GPS?

No. Xiaomi says the watch has no GPS hardware and relies on the Mi Fitness app on your phone for location. Carry your phone if you want a map of your run or ride. The Amazfit Bip 6 has built-in GPS and can record routes on its own.

Which is the best smartwatch under 5000 in Bangladesh?

The Redmi Watch 5 Active is one of the most popular picks under ৳5,000 because it offers Bluetooth calling, a 2-inch display and up to 18 days of rated battery. The Amazfit Bip 6 sits above that budget, at ৳9,690 on Lagbe, and adds AMOLED and built-in GPS.
