Xiaomi is due to present a new product lineup on May 10, 2016, including a smartphone (the Max), a new-generation fitness tracker (the Mi Band 2) and probably a first smartwatch. But it's with a device aimed at children that the Chinese manufacturer initially entered this particular market.

It seems that the first Xiaomi smartwatch is ready to be unveiled and should be set to launch in Q2 2016, according to Liu De, co-founder and vice president of the company. It remains to be seen whether the wearable will run Google's Android Wear operating system or a version of MIUI, the firm's own Android-based user interface for mobile devices.
