In the Mobile World Congress 2024 being held in Barcelona, Xiaomi introduced a new line of wearables for its consumers. This includes the Xiaomi Watch S3, which the company says allows users to “dial into style.” The Chinese manufacturer said this device is “a multi-functional smartwatch with a classic watch design, able to fulfill both a user’s fashion and practical needs.”
The Watch S3 has a large round 1.43"
AMOLED display, and a light aluminum alloy frame that echoes the classic watch
designs. Along with this are the interchangeable bezels and straps for a “new
level of customization.” Twist the bezel and users can snap into place and
display a unique dial exclusive to that particular bezel on the home screen.
The watch also supports portrait auto keying, enabling users to embed
information data into their portrait photos to create a unique personal watch
face on top of over 180+ free watch faces already available.
This smartwatch also features the new
Xiaomi HyperOS system, which delivers faster connections and better
synchronization of information. In terms of battery life, the Xiaomi Watch S3
can last up to 15 days. It also charges quickly, offering up to two days of
usage with just a 5-minute charge.
Another first on the Xiaomi Watch S3 is a
feature that allows users to perform personalized operations with just one
hand. Through various flips of the wrist, the users can control the phone such
as reject calls, check the weather, or take photos.
When it comes to sports tracking, the
Xiaomi Watch S3 has over 150 sports modes, including new winter sports modes —
a first on the global version of the Xiaomi Watch S3. Users can best experience
the skiing mode with enhanced antenna reception performance and improved
positioning accuracy through the L1+L5 dual-band GNSS, providing precise
positioning. Moreover, it offers 10 different running courses to assist runners
of different levels in optimizing their performance, whether they aim to
increase endurance or burn fat.
For health geeks, the smartwatch offers
advanced monitoring capabilities, like a 12-channel heart rate monitoring
module that measures heart rate more accurately than previous generations of
devices. There is also a sleep animal function. After wearing the watch for
seven consecutive days, it generates a "Sleep Animal" that best
represents the user's sleep condition based on the 7-day sleep pattern.
Xiaomi Watch S3 starts from EUR 149.
