As Xiaomi explained, most smart watches are still based on the extension of mobile phone functions. In terms of form, they are not much different from ordinary smart bracelets. Most users often use mobile phone message notifications, time confirmation, body data measurement, and even mobile payment or ticket simulation needs, which can be achieved through bracelet products. So, Xiaomi claims to be built with the concept of mobile phones.Xiaomi watch, will there be any obvious difference?
Aside from the fact that the Xiaomi Watch's design is almost identical to the Apple Watch, with a limited-edition stainless steel model available, Xiaomi aims to create a smartwatch with a mobile phone experience. Therefore, in addition to collaborating with Qualcomm to introduce the Snapdragon Wear 3100 4G processor, which allows for greater performance and power savings, the watch can also connect to the internet independently via the eSIM function.
On the other hand, it cooperates with Google to adopt Wear OS, which is also an open source architecture, and replaces it with Xiaomi's MIUI for Watch operating interface. It even establishes an online market exclusively for Xiaomi watches in response to the usage patterns in the Chinese market, and provides development tools and resources to the outside world to attract more developers to bring application services to Xiaomi watches. It has been revealed that it has cooperated with more than 40 frequently used apps.
However, Xiaomi Taiwan stated that it is evaluating whether to introduce the Xiaomi Watch, which means that if it opens overseas markets for sales in the future, the Xiaomi Watch will use the international version of Wear OS and will be connected to the Google Play Store service. This may also help Google further promote the popularity of Wear OS operating system application devices.
As for the Xiaomi Watch itself, it actually includes a large number of replaceable watch faces, provides richer body data measurement functions, and is designed to be used for outdoor and underwater activities and support maximum oxygen uptake recording. In addition, it also supports GPS, NFC, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection functions. In fact, the user experience is not much different from smart watches such as Apple Watch.
However, since it is equipped with an eSIM, it can be used with an independent phone number and can also allow users to share the same phone number with their mobile phone, so that the Xiaomi watch and the mobile phone can simultaneously ring and vibrate when a call comes in, and users can choose to answer the call through the Xiaomi watch or with the mobile phone. In this case, they can also make calls directly through the watch or independently execute apps compatible with the Xiaomi watch.
.
However, such a user experience still depends on the willingness of local telecom operators to provide such services. Otherwise, the user experience of Xiaomi Watch will not be much different from that of existing smart watches. However, compared with smart bracelets, it does have a lot more flexibility in function expansion and application. However, it still needs more subsequent application services to give Xiaomi bracelet greater application development opportunities.
