Xiaomi Mi Watch will come with a high-quality fluoro rubber strap which will be anti-allergic, sweatproof, and easily replaceable. The strap will feature a quick-release button, which should be similar to what we’ve seen on Huami’s Amazfit smartwatch lineup. This new information was revealed by Xiaomi’s VP, Heng Qu, who also revealed four different strap color options for the device.
The Mi Watch will come with at least four different strap color options at launch. There’ll be a Blue, White, Grey, and a Black one. We can also see that the buckle will feature the ‘MI’ branding.

The company also confirmed that the Mi Watch will come with the XiaoAI smart assistant. Huami’s smartwatches from the Amazfit series have featured XiaoAI, so this is not a surprising move. However, what’s interesting is that Xiaomi will offer three methods to activate the XiaoAI assistant on the watch. You can either long-press the crown or access the XiaoAI button from the screen or even activate it via voice (you’ll have to raise your wrist to turn on the screen first).
The Mi Watch will come with an MIUI for Watch OS. Given that Xiaomi is investing in a dedicated Watch OS along with its own app store, we can expect more smartwatches in the future. Inside, the Mi Watch will come with Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor with connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, and even an eSIM. The watch is confirmed to feature speakers which means you should be able to make and receive calls on the watch, just like a smartphone.
