Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro, the latest smartwatch from the Chinese electronics conglomerate, has launched globally alongside the Xiaomi 13 series smartphones at MWC 2023. Featuring a sophisticated design that tries to capture the aesthetic of a traditional mechanical wristwatch, the Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro is positioned as the brand’s most premium smartwatch offering, and also has a 1.47-inch AMOLED display and satellite positioning capabilities with support for GPS and others. The device was announced in China in August 2022, but has now also been announced for other global markets.
Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro price and availability
As mentioned, the Xiaomi Watch S1 Pro was launched originally in China in August 2022, priced at CNY 1499 (approximately Rs. 17,900) onwards. Global pricing is a bit higher at EUR 299 (approximately Rs. 26,200) onwards.
