A new Xiaomi smartwatch with the model number M2312W1 has surfaced in China’s network certification database, TAF. The documentation includes an image of the device and some essential specifications.
The M2312W1 bears a design similar to the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, showcasing a round watch face and a rotating crown on the side.
Key Features
A significant highlight of the M2312W1, as revealed by the TAF listing, is its support for eSIM functionality. This feature allows the watch to connect to cellular networks independently, enabling calls and texts without needing a paired smartphone. The certification also verifies compatibility with China Mobile and China Unicom, two leading Chinese network operators.
The listing also notes that the smartwatch will have a battery capacity of 586mAh, which is larger than both the Xiaomi Watch S3 (486mAh) and the Watch 2 Pro (495mAh). This suggests extended usage time on a single charge.
Charging and Additional Details
Last month, the M2312W1 also received 3C quality certification in China, indicating support for 10W charging.
While the regulatory listing provides limited information, tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo has shared some additional insights about this smartwatch.
According to DCS, the upcoming wearable will feature an OLED display, heart rate monitoring, GPS for navigation, and NFC for contactless payments.
Enhanced Battery Life
DCS also mentioned that the primary feature of the device will be its longer battery life, expected given its larger battery compared to any Xiaomi wearable from last year. Additionally, Xiaomi plans to equip the smartwatch with its proprietary software, Surge OS, according to the tipster.
It is presently unclear whether the M2312W1 is part of the Xiaomi Watch 3 series or the Xiaomi Watch S lineup. However, more information is expected to surface in the coming days. Stay tuned for further updates.
