A new Xiaomi smartwatch with the model number M2312W1 has appeared in China’s network certification filing, TAF. The listing includes an image of the wearable and some key specifications.
Design-wise, the M2312W1 resembles the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, featuring a round watch face and a rotating crown on the side.
The standout feature of the M2312W1, as revealed by the TAF filing, is its support for eSIM functionality. It will allow the watch to connect to cellular networks independently, enabling calls and texts without needing a connected smartphone. The certification also confirms compatibility with China Mobile and China Unicom, two major Chinese network operators.
The listing also reveals that the smartwatch will have a battery capacity of 586mAh, surpassing both the Xiaomi Watch S3 (486mAh) and the Watch 2 Pro (495mAh), suggesting longer usage time on a single charge.
Last month, the M2312W1 also received 3C quality certification in China, revealing support for 10W charging.
While the regulatory listing provides limited details, tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo has shared some additional information about this smartwatch.
According to DCS, the upcoming wearable will feature an OLED display, heart rate monitoring, GPS for navigation, and NFC for contactless payments.
DCS also hinted that the main feature of the device will be its longer battery life, expected given that it has the largest battery of any Xiaomi wearable from last year. Xiaomi is also planning to install its in-house software, Surge OS, according to the tipster.
It is currently unclear whether the M2312W1 belongs to the Xiaomi Watch 3 lineup or the Xiaomi Watch S category. However, more details should emerge in the coming days. We will be sure to keep you in the loop.
