Xiaomi’s budget sub-brand Redmi has never introduced a smartwatch before, and its first entry comes out what you’d expect: a beautiful unspiring design at a pretty attractive price. The Redmi Watch has recently launched in China for 299 yuan, or about $ 45.
The watch has a 1.4-inch rectangular display with curved glass, and it comes in a variety of colors, black, white and blue. Silicone straps are available in black, white, blue, green and pink. There is only one button on the side of the watch, everything else is handled by the touchscreen or the Me Fit app on the paired smartphone.

Other specs include NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, heart rate monitor and waterproofing up to 50mm. Xiaomi claims that battery life will be good for up to 7 days, or up to 12 days if you use the power-saving mode. The UI and watch faces make heavy use of the black background, unlike the Apple Pal and unlike Chathi, though at this price you can’t expect an OLED display.
The watch will go on sale in China on December 1st, but it will not be available in the US. May come in a slightly tweaked form in other markets including. XDA Developers Recently the FCC opened up a list for an apparently similar watch called the Me Watch Light, which has yet to be released.
