Xiaomi has already confirmed that it will be launching the brand’s first smartwatch at an event on 5th November in China, along with the Mi CC9 Pro smartphone and a few other products.
Ahead of the official announcement, the company shared an image of the upcoming smartwatch, giving us a clear look at its design, which seems very similar to the Apple Watch. Soon after that, live image of the device was leaked online.
Now, a hands-on video of the upcoming Xiaomi Smartwatch has surfaced online, showing the device as well as its user interface. In the video, we can see the user scrolling through the apps in the ‘App Drawer’ and tapping on an app to watch a video.
Earlier, it was reported that the upcoming smartwatch will be powered by the Xiaomi Wear chipset and will also also come with support for eSIM card, 4G LTE network connectivity, multi-function NFC, and smart voice assistant.
The Xiaomi Smartwatch will be running a customized version of Google’s Android Wear operating system out-of-the-box which could be named “Mi Wear” OS. It has been revealed that the Xiaomi Smartwatch which has a square-shared dial, will feature a knob on the top-right corner and will come with two staps — Black and White. As said above, it looks very similar to the Apple Watch.

Further, the company has said that the battery in the device will be pretty large as well. With eSIM support and speakers, the watch should be able to make phone calls and other functions, just like a smartphone.
Xiaomi has confirmed that the Mi smartwatch will be able to install third-party apps for additional functions. It will be able to download and install apps like WeChat, QQ, Alipay, Keep (fitness app), and even DiDi (uber-like app). It can also be used to control smart home devices, and check your fitness data.
Xiaomi has been selling Mi Band fitness trackers and also has a lineup of smartwatches under its Amazfit brand. However, the upcoming smartwatch will be the first one from the Chinese company to come with its own branding.
