Alongside the Xiaomi 17T series (review), which includes the Xiaomi 17T and 17T Pro, the company’s global announcements also included three new wearables as well. These are the Xiaomi Watch S5, Smart Band 10 Pro, and Buds 6. The company notes the smartwatch is designed for business, sports, and everyday use. Meanwhile, the other two products diversify the company’s product portfolio.
The Xiaomi Watch S5 features an AMOLED display, GPS, and a water-resistant design
The Xiaomi Watch S5 comes in a 46mm case for global markets. It uses a stainless steel middle frame with bezel options including stainless steel, ceramic, and forged carbon. The smartwatch features a 1.48-inch AMOLED display with 40% narrower bezels and 2,500 nits peak brightness. With such a bright display, seeing notifications and health data under direct sunlight should not be an issue.
The Xiaomi Watch S5 packs an 815mAh Xiaomi Surge Battery. The company claims it’ll deliver up to 21 days of battery life with moderate usage while supporting continuous health monitoring and sports tracking with reduced charging frequency. It runs on Xiaomi HyperOS 3 and offers features like Find my phone, earphone controls, and Xiaomi Home integration for smart home connectivity.
The Watch S5 offers a range of sports and health tracking features
The smartwatch offers a comprehensive suite of sports and health features. It gets support for over 150 sports modes and a unique Passion Mode that enables cheering gesture detection along with cheer count tracking. It offers calorie-burning tracking and continuous heart rate monitoring, and rocks an upgraded 4 LED + 4 PD heart rate sensor. The smartwatch also supports dual-band, five-system GNSS for more stable and precise outdoor activity tracking.
With regards to wellness, the smartwatch delivers weekly and monthly insights for sleep, along with sleep HRV tracking. Xiaomi claims the sleep tracking features were developed in partnership with the World Sleep Society, the Asian Society of Sleep Medicine, and the Chinese Sleep Research Society.
The smartwatch weighs 46 grams and measures 10.99 mm in thickness. Connectivity options include dual-mode Bluetooth BLE/ Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC. It also has a 5 ATM water resistance design.
The Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro is quite light, weighing just 21.6 grams
On the other hand, the Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Pro is a relatively affordable tracker. It’s built using high-strength aluminum and has a lightweight form factor. It measures 9.7 mm in thickness and weighs a mere 21.6 grams (except for the Ceramic edition). It has a 1.74-inch AMOLED display that’s capable of reaching a peak brightness of 2,000 nits. There’s a 350mAh battery that can deliver up to 21 days of battery life under normal conditions.
Thanks to an upgraded PPG module and proprietary algorithms, the heart rate monitoring accuracy has improved to 98.2%. The band supports over 150 sports modes, including a dedicated track mode for lap recording and a refined cycling mode. Sleep Algorithm 2.0 provides deep sleep metrics, including Heart Rate Variability (HRV), sleep efficiency, and trend reports.
The Smart Band 10 Pro supports dual-system notification synchronization. This allows it to pair with both a Xiaomi phone and an iPhone simultaneously to receive alerts from both devices on a single interface.
Xiaomi Buds 6 have a semi-in-ear design
Lastly, there’s the Xiaomi Buds 6, which have a semi-in-ear design. These are lightweight at just 4.4 grams each and offer an ergonomic design, utilizing a pressure-reducing shape that contours to the ear. As for the sound quality, it’s driven by an 11mm triple-magnet dynamic driver for bass, paired with a 24k gold-plated diaphragm that increases treble sensitivity by 30%. The earbuds themselves feature tuning by Harman Golden Ear Team alongside Qualcomm aptX Lossless technology for high-resolution playback.
There’s 3-mic AI noise reduction to cut off ambient noise, and a specialized acoustic mesh suppresses up to 95dB of background noise. The Xiaomi Buds 6 also link directly with Xiaomi HyperOS for quick pairing and fluid switching between Xiaomi phones, tablets, and other ecosystem devices. The earbuds also debut dual-network location compatibility, supporting both Apple’s Find My Network and Google’s Find Hub.
