The announcement of Xiaomi launching its smartwatch in the market has created quite a buzz. And before we knew, the makers have already revealed the first look of the device and it is gorgeous, to say the least. The watch is all set to hit the market soon and here's everything you need to know about it.

Taking Cue From Apple:

Inspired by Apple's smartwatch, Xiaomi Watch draws its pattern a lot similar to its competitor. Just like Apple Watch Series 5, it has a square watch face and rotating crown on the right-hand side. Xiaomi's Amazfit Bip series also had taken its cue from Apple.
