Xiaomi has launched a new product under the Youpin
platform. The product is named TwentySeventeen Light Mechanical wristwatch and
is presently available to buy in China via Xiaomi Youpin. The device comes with
a rather steep price tag of 499 yuan (US$ 72) but the features seem to justify
the price.
The product isn’t exactly manufactured by Xiaomi but
is manufactured by Shenzhen Micro-intelligence Co. Ltd with the best of quality
standards. The wristwatch is a wholly mechanical watch which is quite
interesting. The watch is crafted to last for eternity since there is no
battery that’ll get drained. The watch uses kinetic energy which it gets when
it is worn continually. In that case, the watch doesn’t need to be rewound. But
it is left for long without use, the watch needs to be wound manually to
provide initial kinetic energy.
The mechanical parts are manufactured using durable
parts. The lens is made of sapphire glass which is wear and scratch-resistant.
The company equally utilised a blue-coating process to prevent glare and
fingerprint stains. The dial and straps are available in white and black colour
options. The dial also has a built-in window for the calendar date. The crown
has a gear-type design and a transparent large back cover that allows you to
feel the unique rhythm of the mechanical watch when you put it on. Most of all,
the watch is lightweight.
In addition, the TwentySeventeen light Mechanical
Wristwatch comes with a nice calfskin on the outer part. The leather is tough
and won’t corrode due to sweat. The strap is designed in such a way that it can
be replaced easily. Furthermore, the Twentyseventeen Light Mechanical
wristwatch supports 5ATM waterproof level meaning it can be worn in the rain or
while washing your hand.
