To recall, this is not the first time we have heard rumors about a Redmi Smartwatch. In November last year, after the Xiaomi Mi Watch launch, Redmi general manager Lu Weibing hinted at the new wearable. Weibing took to his Weibo account shortly after the launch and asked his followers if they expected the launch of a possible Redmi ‘watch’ in the future.

This announcement was followed by the certification of a new Redmi product with the model number HMSH01GE in January. As it was revealed in the listing, the product got certified with a “Smartwatch” moniker. Now, it seems that the development of the first Redmi smartwatch has been completed, and it is ready to hit the market.

As of today, we have no idea what the Redmi Watch / Redmi Smartwatch will look like or its features. However, it is likely to be an affordable product. Moreover, its price should be below in comparison to the Xiaomi Mi Watch. There are rumors that Redmi will launch a new phone powered by the Dimensity 1000+ processor in August. So, there is a chance that the first Redmi Smartwatch will be announced at the same event.
