Xiaomi recently unveiled the Watch S3, the successor to its popular Watch S2. While the core functionalities remain familiar, the Xiaomi Watch S3 boasts some noteworthy upgrades in design, battery life, and user experience. Let’s delve into the key features and compare them to its predecessor.
Aesthetics and Design:
- Interchangeable Bezel: The most striking change is the introduction of a removable bezel. This allows users to personalize their watch’s look with different bezel options, catering to various styles and occasions.
- Slimmed-down Lugs: The S3 sports smaller and slimmer lugs, making it more comfortable to wear, especially for those with smaller wrists.
- Premium Materials: Both models feature a sapphire glass display for added scratch resistance. However, the S3 boasts a glossy ceramic-like coating on its back, replacing the plastic material on the S2, offering a more premium feel.
Features and Functionalities:
- Health Monitoring: Both smartwatches offer a comprehensive suite of health tracking functionalities, including heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, and stress monitoring. However, Xiaomi claims the S3 has an upgraded heart rate monitoring module with improved accuracy.
- Fitness Tracking: Both versions come equipped with GPS and various fitness tracking modes.
- Battery Life: The S3 boasts a slightly larger battery (520 mAh) compared to the S2 (500 mAh), translating to potentially a few extra hours of usage.
- Software: The S3 runs on Xiaomi’s new HyperOS, while the S2 utilizes the proprietary MIUI Watch OS. HyperOS promises a smoother and more unified experience across various Xiaomi devices. However, it’s too early to definitively compare their functionalities.
