It is a known fact that the Mi Band line is manufactured for Xiaomi by Huami. However, Huami is not the manufacturer behind the new Xiaomi Watch Color. Based on our findings, the smartwatch is manufactured by Shanghai Suo Prime Technology LTD, a company under Xiaomi’s ecological chain.

It is not a big surprise that Huami is not the manufacturer of the watch since it is practically taking on its Amazfit GTR smartwatch. But while we may begin to look at the two brands as competitors, Huami’s CEO revealed last month that Huawei is actually the competition and not Xiaomi.

That actually makes sense seeing as Xiaomi’s own smartwatches are not sold outside China, yet. Huami sells its Amazfit line of smartwatches in several markets abroad just like Huawei, so both are actually fighting for the same set of customers.

Xiaomi may eventually launch its Mi Watch and Watch Color smartwatches outside China but its main focus will likely remain on the Mi Band line which is what has pushed it to the top of the wearable devices market.
