Alongside the Xiaomi 13T series, Xiaomi has also announced the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro (Image).

Xiaomi has released several smartwatches in the past, but their previous smartwatches either ran a non-AOSP-based OS (like the Watch S1) or Wear OS without Google Apps (like the Mi Watch). The Watch 2 Pro is Xiaomi's first smartwatch to run MIUI on top of Wear OS and have access to the Google Play Store. Plus, unlike the Mi Watch, the Watch 2 Pro will be available outside of China.

The Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro features a round 1.43-inch AMOLED display at 466x466 resolution, comes in a 46mm size, Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chipset, up to 65h battery life, dual-band GNSS, and a rotating crown. It'll go on sale for 269 Euros for the Bluetooth model and 329 Euros for the LTE variant. Here are the full specifications:

32GB of storage? Could I put my audiobooks on there and stream them directly to some headphones? Cause that would be sick.

There are Garmin watches you can do that on already. They usually have a "music" suffix to the name but that basically means it has enough on board storage to add music or audio books etc to the watch so you don't need to carry a phone with you on a run or whatever activity.

I don't see why not, so long as you install an app on the watch that's capable of playing those audiobook files!

should work, however, afaik, there is no great audiobook players for wearos as of now. BTW, you can do the same with pixel watch and samsung galaxy watch - they have enough storage for at least 1-2 audiobooks. Mine GW has 5.4 GB free right now.

That sounds promising. I'm still wearing a five-year-old Fossil because nothing since has seemed like enough of an improvement to justify the cost.

I'm on the TicWatch Pro 3 and am really looking forward to upgrading. Now I have even more options to pick from.

Still unclear:

  • how good the sensors are
  • how good the core software is - can measure HR is one thing, notify you if your HR pattern is changed is another thing.
  • what is an update policy
  • other feature - e.g. I have seen that one can schedule AOD - this is good
