In a series of posts on Chinese social networking site Weibo, Xiaomi posted several official images of the smartwatch which looks a lot like the Apple Watch.
It has about the same rectangular shape as the Apple Watch with a digital crown on the top right side.
A photo of the internals of the smartwatch reveals Wi-Fi, GPS, NFC and an eSIM.
It is likely to be called Mi Watch and could be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 3100.
