Mi Watch launched in China | Price and Specs

Along side Mi CC9 Pro, Xiaomi unveiled its new Mi Watch. This is the first smartwatch from Xiaomi to have Mi branding. Mi Watch flaunts some serious features that Xiaomi is marketing the device as “small phone on your wrist”

Mi watch is clearly inspired by the Apple Watch design and features a 1.78-inch AMOLED always-on screen housed in a 44mm casing. The housing is made from Aliminium alloy with ceramic back. Right side of the watch houses single button and a crown to navigate the UI. On the left lies a single speaker and microphone. Mi Watch also features Bluetooth, NFC and eSIM allowing it to function on its own without connecting it to a smartphone.

 

 

The device is powered by Snapdragon Wear 3100 4G chipset bundled with 1 GB RAM and 8GB storage. It uses 570 mAh battery which is rated for up to 36 hours of continuous use with 4G turned on. The watch uses MIUI for Watch on top of Google’s Wear OS as its UI and has 40+ built-in apps and a separate app store that is open for third-party developers. All the usual fitness tracking feature are also present in the device with Firstbeat’s performance analytic compatibility for detailed breakdown of your heart rate data based on different exercises.

For now Mi watch is exclusive to China with no word on international release. Mi Watch is priced at CNY 1,299 which is approximately equivalent to NRS 21,000.
