Earlier, the Xiaomi Watch S1 was rumoured to launch in Q1 of 2022 in major markets like Europe, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. However, its Chinese launch date was still a question. Today, Xiaomi has officially confirmed that the Watch S1 will debut on December 28 alongside the Xiaomi 12 smartphone series.
Xiaomi’s China page shared a teaser poster
of the Xiaomi Watch S1 and apart from its launch date, it also showcased the
smartwatch’s design. Although the entire watch is not visible, the top and a
side of the watch are clearly visible. The smartwatch will have a circular
design and the body seems to be made out of metal. It has two physical buttons
on one side, which we expect will be a home button and a sport/action button
similar to the Xiaomi Mi Watch Revolve Active. Unfortunately, the company
didn’t reveal any specs of the smartwatch.
Previously, the Xiaomi Watch S1 was tipped
to be the next generation of Xiaomi smartwatches with a more elegant and robust
design. The smartwatch may have similar or better sports modes and features
compared to the current Mi Watch Revolve Active.
The Xiaomi Mi Watch Revolve Active has a
1.38-inch color AMOLED display. It has 117 sports modes and over 110 watch
faces. The smartwatch comes with a SpO2 blood oxygen monitoring sensor and also
features a 24-hour continuous heat rate monitor. It is 5ATM water-resistant and
has a battery life of up to 14 days.
