During the Xiaomi Mi 10 Youth Edition launch event earlier today (27th April 2020), the company also unveiled its new collaborative product, the Watch Color x Keith Haring Special Edition. It was teased last week by the Chinese tech giant and has now been officially announced, with a price tag of 899 Yuan (roughly 126 US Dollars) and tagline that “art is for everyone.”

The Xiaomi Watch Color Keith Haring special edition is a new variant of the company’s wearable product. As the name suggests, it is a limited variant which the company is offering through cooperation with the Keith Haring Foundation. For those unaware, Keith Haring was a popular artist and activist that was a part of the iconic art style in New York back in the 1980s.

He was known for his colorful and legendary art styles, a few of which can be found with the new product. This includes the Barking Dog and Radiant Baby. Looking at the new Xiaomi Watch Color variant, it arrives in a highly stylized box with even the watch strap/bands being covered with the iconic graffiti. To make the experience more immersive, the company has even added special faces in the Watch Color’s display and UI as well. Although it is a new variant, the difference between the standard version and the Keith Haring one is purely aesthetical in nature.

The Xiaomi Watch Color sports the same 1.39 inch AMOLED display and is powered by a 420mAh battery. It supports Bluetooth 5.0 technology, NFC, features built in Xiaomi AI voice assistant, and is even waterproof. The wearables also boast many different modes and functions to assist the user in tracking their physical activities.

The new version is a Xiaomi Watch Color Keith Haring edition. As the name implies this edition is the product of a cooperation between the Chinese tech giant and Keith Haring Foundation. Keith Haring was a popular artist and activist who was part of the legendary New York art scene during the 1980s.

The new Xiaomi Watch Color lives up to its name as it comes with a Keith Haring artwork-themed outlook. The watch utilises a colourful strap and there is even a colourful spare strap. The watch face also has an artistic theme with his famous barking dog artwork. The smartwatch’s packaging box is also designed with the same artworks including the barking dog drawing.

The rest of the specifications remain the same. As a reminder, the Xiaomi Watch Color uses a 1.39-inch circular AMOLED high definition screen with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels. The watch supports Bluetooth 5.0. It has a battery capacity of 420mAh which can last up to 14 days. It comes with 5ATM waterproof build, NFC support and built-in XiaoAI voice assistant.
