Earlier today (27th December 2019), Xiaomi went on its official Weibo account to share an apology. The show of sincerity was made after the Chinese tech giant stated that it had to delay the launch of the Mi Watch’s Exclusive Edition.
Xiaomi’s Mi Watch Exclusive Edition had an official launch date set in December 2019. However, the company has now said that the launch will be delayed due to certain reasons that include, insufficient stocks and more emphasis on improving the user experience in the UI department.
Reportedly, the delay of the Mi Watch Exclusive Edition will have it see a new launch date which is in February 2020, about two months from now. It gives the smartphone manufacturing company enough time to prepare as this move indicates that it expects a healthy sales number regardless of the fact that only limited units will be shipped.

For those interested, Xiaomi’s Mi Watch Exclusive Edition is functionally similar to the original variant, but features improved aesthetics. It is made of four curved sapphire glass, 9H ultra-high hardness fully polished stainless steel frame alongside a stainless steel strap. In terms of price, the smart watch will be available for 1999 Yuan or roughly 285 US Dollars.
