A Chinese tech maker is preparing to broaden its wearable lineup by launching its first smartwatch powered by Google’s Wear OS, according to Xiaomiui, a portal known for tracking Xiaomi’s product cadence. The move marks a notable expansion into a platform that supports a wide ecosystem of apps, watch faces, and services beyond basic fitness tracking.

Current databases show the device carrying the model code M2235W1 has cleared regulatory hurdles, receiving EEC and TUV Rheinland PLS certifications and appearing in the NRRA’s public records in Korea. These steps typically signal that an imminent release is on the horizon, with testing and compliance checks completed for multiple markets. The certification trail suggests Xiaomi is aligning its first Wear OS watch with broad compatibility and reliability expectations that accompany a Google-powered wearable.

Industry chatter points to the possibility that this Xiaomi smartwatch could include SIM or eSIM support, enabling voice calls and data connectivity directly from the watch without pairing to a phone. While other technical specifics remain unannounced, analysts anticipate a product debut under the Xiaomi Watch umbrella, though the exact model name could vary as the company finalizes its branding strategy before launch.

Wear OS is the operating system shared by Samsung, Google, and several other prominent manufacturers for smartwatches. A key advantage of Wear OS is the ability to download and run a diverse range of applications, which sets it apart from many fitness trackers that offer limited app ecosystems. This broader software support is expected to enhance user experiences with message handling, navigation, music, payments, and health insights on the Xiaomi device.

Earlier reports from socialbites.ca mentioned that the Apple Watch Series 9 would feature a new processor based on the A15 Bionic, illustrating the ongoing race among major brands to deliver faster performance and richer features in their wearables. As Xiaomi advances toward its Wear OS-powered smartwatch, industry observers will be watching for performance benchmarks, battery efficiency, and the depth of Google app integration on the new device, alongside how it coordinates with existing Android ecosystems and services (Industry sources, 2024).”
