Along with over 180+ free watch faces, the watch also supports portrait auto-keying, so users can embed information data into their portrait photos to create a unique personal watch face.
It runs the new Xiaomi HyperOS. In addition to its aluminum alloy frame, the watch has over 150 sports modes, including new winter sports, L1+L5 dual-band GNSS, and 10 running courses to optimize performance for runners of all levels.
In addition to advanced health monitoring capabilities, the smartwatch features a 12-channel heart rate monitoring module that gives more accurate measurements of heartbeat. Based on the 7-day sleep pattern, it generates a “Sleep Animal” that accurately represents the user’s sleep condition.
