Shortly after seeing the OPPO/OnePlus Wear OS smartwatch, we now have a leak showing the Xiaomi Wear OS smartwatch – Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro.

According to the leak, the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro is a smartwatch with a stainless steel case and Gorilla Glass on the front. It will be available in two color variants: Silver with a leather strap and Black with a rubber strap. It also features a rotating crown.
Additionally, the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro is said to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. It is said to have a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels and a pixel density of 326 ppi.

Software features of Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro may include exercise tracking, ECG, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, and body temperature monitoring.
The most interesting thing is that this smartwatch uses Wear OS/MIUI. The frontman also shared this image separately:
Additionally, in a later comment, the source also mentioned that the smartwatch could cost €349 (~$372).
Wear OS launch and EU price leaks suggest the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro is ready for a global release. This will be the second Google-powered smartwatch, the original 2019 Mi Watch, although it will be the first to launch outside of China.
Leaker @realMlgmXyysd reported that Xiaomi will not launch this smartwatch in mainland China and it is only intended for the global market.
It remains to be seen when the company will decide to officially launch this smartwatch. Given the excellent renders and price leaks, we don't think it's too far off. Xiaomi is launching the Xiaomi 13T in Europe on September 26, which will also be the perfect opportunity for a global launch of the smartwatch.
