Xiaomi Watch S5 41mm, REDMI Buds 8s design, color options teased days before launch

Xiaomi is adding a couple of fresh options to its wearable and audio lineup. Pre-orders for the Xiaomi Watch S5 41mm and REDMI Buds 8S are now open. The earbuds are due to go on sale September 22, while the smaller watch is expected to land alongside the Xiaomi 18 Pro series later this month.

The Watch S5 41mm is the more compact take on the earlier 46mm model. It keeps a classic watch look, weighs around 36g, and is just under a centimeter thick (0.99cm). Design highlights include a white ceramic bezel and a diamond-shaped crown with 24 finely cut facets.

It’s running Xiaomi’s HyperOS 4 and focuses on everyday health and lifestyle features such as smarter workout suggestions, calorie intake management, and UV intensity alerts. Battery life is rated at up to 14 days, so it should last most people several days between charges.

On the audio side, the REDMI Buds 8S go for a semi-in-ear design that’s meant to stay comfortable for all-day wear. They pack an 11mm dynamic driver and support Xiaomi HyperConnect for tighter pairing with compatible phones and devices.

Together, these two fill out Xiaomi’s mid-to-premium wearable and audio range a bit more, a lighter, smaller watch with solid health tracking and battery life, plus straightforward connected earbuds. Full pricing, color options, and the rest of the specs should show up closer to launch.

For now, both are available for pre-order through official channels in China, with more details likely to drop as the Xiaomi 18 Pro event gets nearer.
