The price looks expensive but then, considering the topnotch features that are expected on board, it is reasonable. Besides, the design of the Mi Watch is heavily inspired by the immensely popular Apple Watch which costs twice as much.
In terms of the specs, the Mi Watch comes with a premium build and sturdy hardware. It features a curved sapphire glass which protects the square-shaped touchscreen display and sports a side-mounted crown which can be used to navigate through the UI. It is powered by the Snapdragon 3100 chipset and Adreno 304 GPU. The Mi Watch will support NFC, Bluetooth 4.2 and low power 802.11n Wi-Fi and GPS. You also get e-SIM support in addition to the regulars like a built-in fitness tracker/activity tracker which can be used to track things like sleep, calories burned, different sports activity modes and the number of steps taken.

Even though the Mi Watch will be launched tomorrow, the listing shows the smartwatch will be going on sale on November 11 during the 11.11 shopping festival.
