As whispers about Xiaomi’s latest mid-range wearable, the Xiaomi Watch 2, gain momentum, several European online store listings have surfaced, sparking excitement among tech enthusiasts. Despite Xiaomi’s official silence on the release, eagle-eyed sources, including tech news site GSMArena, have uncovered multiple product pages for the device, notably on the Finnish platform Kesikisen Kello Oy.
For those grappling with foreign-language pages, industry insider Arsène Lupin has provided a helpful translation on their X account, revealing enticing details about the upcoming Xiaomi Watch 2. The device is poised to feature a 1.43-inch AMOLED display boasting a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels, housed in a sleek aluminum alloy case measuring 47.6 x 45.9 x 11.8 mm. Powered by a Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 running on Google’s WearOS, the watch is expected to come pre-installed with popular Google apps, including Google Wallet, Google Maps, and access to the Play Store.
Functionality-wise, the Xiaomi Watch 2 is set to impress, offering an array of sensors for sleep pattern tracking, heart rate monitoring, and blood oxygen level measurement. It will also include an independent GNSS for navigation support, an impressive 65-hour battery life, remote photo capture, and a 5ATM water resistance rating, ensuring resilience against splashes and brief submersion.
While sharing similarities with the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, the mid-range model differs in some aspects. It supports Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi, and NFC connections but lacks LTE connectivity, exclusive to the Pro model. Moreover, the cases of the two watches feature different metals, with the Xiaomi Watch 2 boasting an aluminum body and the Watch 2 Pro sporting a stainless steel case.
Pricing across various European countries ranges from €199.99 to €219.99, with a notable listing on Slovakian platform Mobilonline at €181.40. While the official price is pending confirmation, expectations are that it will be considerably more affordable than the Pixel Watch 2, starting at €399. This presents an enticing opportunity for consumers in Finland and Slovakia to embrace a next-gen WearOS smartwatch, especially since Google doesn’t offer the Pixel Watch 2 in all European nations.
As Xiaomi keeps mum about an official announcement, the abundance of live listings hints at an imminent launch for the Xiaomi Watch 2.
