Xiaomi has revealed the design and key features of the upcoming Xiaomi Watch S5, a new sports smartwatch that focuses on durability, refined materials, and long battery life. The company says the watch will launch later this month.
The Xiaomi Watch S5 features a redesigned structure built around an integrated bezel and a forged 316L stainless steel body. This material is known for strong corrosion resistance and durability, helping the watch handle daily wear. The integrated bezel design also allows the body to be slimmer than previous models while keeping a solid and premium build.
Unlike earlier models that used modular parts, the Watch S5 uses a non-removable bezel. This helps reduce the border around the display and increases the visible screen area. The unibody bezel design also makes the watch thinner, which improves comfort when worn daily or with formal clothing.
Xiaomi will offer several bezel designs and finishes. Two key options are Midnight Blue and Forged Carbon. The Midnight Blue bezel uses ceramic material with white glazed time markers. It also features 24 carved facets that create a polished look. The Forged Carbon version uses a layered forging process that produces a unique texture and a more sporty appearance.
The smartwatch will also come in three stainless steel bezel versions. The black and silver variants have a clean design and are paired with fluororubber straps, which are suitable for sports and daily use. The silver eSIM model comes with a gray genuine leather strap for a more classic style.
The crown features a concentric-circle texture, adding detail to the design. Xiaomi also includes several watch faces inspired by traditional analog watches. These watch faces use elements such as Roman numerals and moon phase complications.
Xiaomi says the sensors on the Watch S5 have been fully upgraded to provide more accurate health monitoring. The watch can also function as a control center on the wrist, allowing users to control compatible smart home devices and connected cars. Battery life is another highlight. Xiaomi claims the Watch S5 can deliver up to 21 days of use on a single charge.
In China, the pricing is expected to be close to that of the previous Xiaomi Watch S4. The Bluetooth variant could start at around 999 yuan, while the eSIM model may be priced at approximately 1,199 yuan. Xiaomi has not shared any information about a global release yet. However, since the company recently launched the Xiaomi Watch 5 in global markets, the Xiaomi Watch S5 is also expected to arrive internationally in the coming months.
