Xiaomi Mi Watch
Xiaomi’s very own, Xiaomi Mi Watch is available for purchase in Chinese market for quite some time now. However, there is no confirmed date or time as of yet for an international release. The watch is going to see the light of the day in European and American market for sure but nobody knows when.
This smartwatch costs a mere $185 and carries many high end specifications including AMOLED Display, 44mm watch face, 410 x 410 pixels resolution with 326 pixels per inch display.
On the inside, it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 3100 and runs on WearOS. WiFi, GPS connectivity, heart rate sensor are also present in this smartwatch as well.

A heart rate sensor inside this smartwatch supports activity tracking for up to 10 sports activities. It also has water resistance rating as it can be submerged under 5ATM of water pressure. It runs on a customised OS based on WearOS. All of this complements the 14 days long battery life.
