The announcement of this Xiaomi Watch Color comes just weeks after the company launched the Mi Watch Forbidden City Edition on its crowdfunding platform for a price of 1,299 yuan (~$186) against its regular price of 1,699 yuan (~$243).

Meanwhile, there are also reports claiming that the company is getting ready to launch a new Xiaomi Watch Pro which will come with a circular dial, unlike the standard Xiaomi Watch which has design similar to the Apple Watch.
