Alongside the Xiaomi 13T series, Xiaomi has also announced the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro (Image).

Xiaomi has released several smartwatches in the past, but their previous smartwatches either ran a non-AOSP-based OS (like the Watch S1) or Wear OS without Google Apps (like the Mi Watch). The Watch 2 Pro is Xiaomi’s first smartwatch to run MIUI on top of Wear OS and have access to the Google Play Store. Plus, unlike the Mi Watch, the Watch 2 Pro will be available outside of China.

The Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro features a round 1.43-inch AMOLED display at 466x466 resolution, comes in a 46mm size, Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chipset, up to 65h battery life, dual-band GNSS, and a rotating crown. It’ll go on sale for 269 Euros for the Bluetooth model and 329 Euros for the LTE variant. Here are the full specifications:

    That sounds promising. I’m still wearing a five-year-old Fossil because nothing since has seemed like enough of an improvement to justify the cost.

      I’m on the TicWatch Pro 3 and am really looking forward to upgrading. Now I have even more options to pick from.

    Still unclear:

    • how good the sensors are
    • how good the core software is - can measure HR is one thing, notify you if your HR pattern is changed is another thing.
    • what is an update policy
    • other feature - e.g. I have seen that one can schedule AOD - this is good
