In addition to new smartphones Xiaomi 14 a Xiaomi 14 Pro at this manufacturer's October event, we also saw a new smart watch called Xiaomi Watch S3. In addition, this watch has innovative modular parts, thanks to which you can customize the design.
Xiaomi Watch S3: Modular smart watch with Bluetooth 5.2
Previous leaks have said that Xiaomi 14 series it will also be supplemented with smart watches of the new generation. This leak is becoming a reality and we got a new model at today's press conference Xiaomi Watch S3.
In fact, we have seen the first smartwatch that offers a new operating system HyperOS. This is a key element when it comes to connecting with other products from the Xiaomi ecosystem. Now they also come enriched with new functions such as eSIM, for calls without the need to carry the smartphone itself.
1,43″ AMOLED, dual-band heart rate measurement and HyperOS
The circular design of this watch is complemented by modular parts of the dial, which, together with the strap, you can customize according to your mood. This is a unique function that is definitely not commonplace in this segment. Despite this option, the watch has reasonable dimensions of 47 x 47 x 12 mm and a weight of 44 grams.
On the front is located 1,43 ″ AMOLED display with Always-On function, which has a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels and a refresh rate of 60 Hz. Thanks to this, the watch achieves the fluidity of mid-range smartphones, which is definitely admirable. The maximum fineness is thus 326 ppi and the maximum brightness reaches up to 600 rivets. The construction itself has increased resistance to water and dust with 5ATM certification.
Up to 150 sports modes are available, as well as heart rate monitoring (GNSS, two-phase sensor), the amount of oxygen in the blood, as well as sleep or stress. An ambient light sensor as well as eSIM connectivity, which will ensure you can use the watch independently, without a smartphone, are also an advantage. However, a cheaper version without this function will also be available.
Technology will take care of exemplary connectivity and connection with your smartphone Bluetooth 5.2. The aforementioned operating system is a significant advance HyperOS. We don't have much information about this watch version yet, but the manufacturer promises exemplary connectivity with other Xiaomi products.
The integrated accumulator has a capacity at the level 486 mAh, while the resulting endurance is at the level of 15 days of standard use (standard version) or 7 days of standard use (eSIM version). Stamina will slightly reduce the use of the Always-On feature.

Do they have an NFC chip for card payments or did they miss this time? Previous S class models had it
They have, but for China, so it has no telling value for us yet.
and you don't know if they plan to come to us? how does it look with them - because there were no S2s, S3s could come globally, I don't want wear os due to poor durability, this could be an excellent competitor for the price, or an alternative to the amazfit balances (I assume a similar durability for approx. one per charge)
We have no idea, on the global market Xiaomi has a different strategy than in China, apparently there will be only WearOS watches. We can't say.
Typical Xiaomi, as with the previous S2, which remained on the domestic market, eventually the Xiaomi 2 pro came to the global market, but !!!! I don't know why with wear os and I have the feeling that it will be the same here, that we won't see Xiaomi watch S3 on the global market, and if they come, watch 3 pro? And again on wear os? I don't know, but I don't understand Xiaomi's strategies, really strange thinking...
where do you get that they don't come globally? now you know? or just assumptions and assumptions? S1, S1 pro and S1 active arrived late, but we'll see if they arrive in the end
February 25th is the release date of the app?
Watch are already working in the Mi Fitness app. You can connect them, we updated this article, check the newest information.
