The Mi Watch Color is a smartwatch with a round dial that launched in China last year. A few months ago, it was revealed that Xiaomi may announce it globally under the name Mi Watch Revolve. Now, new details say it is heading to India soon and it will come along with the Mi Band 5.
The info was reported by 91Mobiles who cites the teenage leaker Ishan Agarwal as their source. They also speculate the watch will cost about INR 6,000 (~$80) since it launched in China for ¥599 (~$87). However, we believe it will sell for higher.
The watch will most likely be imported, and with taxes and other costs factored in, a higher price tag than what it sells for in China is a no-brainer. Our guess is that the Mi Watch Revolve will sell for nothing less than INR 8,000 (~$109) when it lands in India.
When Xiaomi announces the watch in India, it will face competition from Huami’s Amazfit line of watches, most especially the Amazfit GTR which is currently priced at INR 9,999 (~$137).
Xiaomi is also expected to launch the Mi Smart Band 5/Mi Band 5 in India. The watch already launched in Europe in July for a price tag of €39.99. The Mi Smart Band 5 comes with significant improvements over its predecessor such as a larger display, support for more workout modes, a more accurate PPG heart rate sensor, and a new charger that doesn’t require you to remove the capsule from the strap.
We expect both launches to happen in September. The Mi Smart Band 4 launched on Tuesday, September 17 last year in India, so September 15 seems like a possible date for this year’s announcement.
