Xiaomi is yet to bring the Mi Watch to Europe, but the company has already announced a new smartwatch. The latest Mi Watch is cheaper, too. Xiaomi has called its latest effort the Mi Watch Color Sports Edition, which it has priced at CNY 699 (~US$105) – CNY 100 (~US$15) less than it charges for the Mi Watch.
The differences between the Mi Watch Color Sports Edition and the regular model are minimal, though. Xiaomi has switched from stainless steel to aluminium, for example, although this makes the Sports Edition 7.5 g lighter than the Mi Watch. The 1.39-inch AMOLED screen from the Mi Watch returns, as does a SpO2 sensor, a GPS module and an optical heart rate monitor.
Xiaomi has complemented the 454 x 454-pixel display with a 420 mAh battery, which it claims can last up to two weeks on a single charge. However, do not expect such long battery life with GPS and the heart rate monitor turned on, though.
The Mi Watch Color Sports Edition features 117 sports modes, along with sleep tracking. The smartwatch is 5 ATM water-resistant, which will allow you to take it swimming. Xiaomi has yet to announce international availability, but we imagine that the company will eventually bring it to market outside of China.
