Alongside the launch of the latest Xiaomi 14 series of smartphones, Xiaomi Malaysia also took the chance to reveal a total of 3 smart wearables for the local market.
First, we have the basic one out of the bunch, the Smart Band 8 Pro. As with any smart band in the market, its focus is to bring affordable and simple features to people who don’t like their watches being “too smart” because fitness tracking and straightforward functions are all they need.
Stepping things up a bit then the Watch S3 will serve the role perfectly through the new Xiaomi HyperOS. With a bunch of extra sports mode tracking, a new heart rate monitoring chip with higher accuracy, and lots of customization options in the form of dial faces, the Watch S3 achieves a nice balance between “way too basic” smart bands and “way too smart” true smartwatches.
Don’t mind them being too smart? Then up the ante a bit more for the new Watch 2 powered by Google WearOS. And you know what that means – lots of 3rd-party apps, access to Play Store, a powerful and efficient chip that powers all sorts of convenient features.
For a quick view, here’s a table for you to understand without going through all the redundant stuff.
