At a special launch event in China, Xiaomi unveiled a host of products including the Mi CC9 Pro and Mi TV 5 series. The brand also unveiled a wearable device called the Mi Watch.

The main selling point of the watch is the inclusion of an eSIM. With this, it can independently make calls and connect to the internet, without relying on a companion phone. This functionality has been extremely popular on the Apple Watch and Xiaomi’s offering does take a lot of inspiration from it.

Design-wise the Mi Watch looks eerily similar to the Apple Watch with a slightly more squarish body and a rotating crown on the upper-left side. The speaker is located on the right and the back is made of ceramic.

On the front is a 1.78-inch screen with 326ppi pixel density and it’s protected by an aluminum frame. Color options include White, Black, and Blue.

Powering the watch is a Snapdragon Wear 3100 4G processor along with a 570mAh battery that can deliver up to 36 hours of back up on a single charge. Fitness features include blood pressure monitoring, sleep tracking, heart rate, and body energy monitoring.

It ships with Google’s WearOS pre-installed, but Xiaomi has extended its phone’s MIUI. The added UI layer will offer more than 100 different watch faces. voice assistant support, and better activity tracking.

The Mi Watch is priced at CNY 1,299 (US$ 185) while a special edition Mi Watch with sapphire glass and stainless steel band costs CNY 1,999 (US$ 285)
