DJI Action 6 is one of the most anticipated action cameras of 2025. DJI Action 5 Pro was already a very popular camera. Now, as per the initial reports we have published on our website, the Action 6 camera is coming with major upgrades inside. Recently, we received new images from a tester that show pairing the DJI Action 6 camera with a smartphone.
Exclusive Leak: DJI Action 6 Smartwatch Integration Revealed
One of the standout features rumored for the DJI Action 6 is its enhanced connectivity with the smartwatch you wear, so pairing up with a smartwatch will give you seamless extra control and data syncing during activities. Exclusive leaked images show the DJI Osmo Action 6 pairing up with a smartwatch, and you can clearly see the display showing “Osmo Action 6” on the watch screen.
The smartwatch will act as a remote control, so you can start or stop your camera recording. Also, you can switch to different modes without physically touching the camera. The best part is that while recording, the camera will overlay the recorded GPS data and integrate it into your videos in real time. Smartwatch connectivity in the camera depends on Bluetooth for data sharing.
The smartwatch integration is not new in the DJI ecosystem; those who have already used the Action 5 Pro camera know that overlay data is already supported in Apple Watch and Garmin, so for sure the Action 6 camera will take a step further in synchronization with these devices and provide more control over the data. Hence, this will make the DJI camera a top choice among athletes and professionals who love to monitor their data and adjust the camera on the fly, and the best part is all the essential data, like GPS, heartbeat, and oxygen monitor data, are available on the screen overlay.
