Discover Xiaomi’s latest AIoT devices in the Philippines, from the stylish Watch S4 and Smart Band 10 Glimmer Edition to the Open Wear Stereo Pro and Smart Camera C701. Here’s my first-hand look at their features and what stood out.
I recently attended Xiaomi’s launch, where the brand introduced its newest AIoT lineup for the Philippine market. As someone who’s been following Xiaomi’s growth in wearables and smart home tech, this event was an exciting chance to see how the brand is bringing smarter living closer to everyday users. The atmosphere was relaxed and hands-on, which gave me time to explore each product and try some of its features myself.
At the event, Xiaomi unveiled four new products: the Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm, the Open Wear Stereo Pro, the Smart Band 10 Glimmer Edition, and the Smart Camera C701. What stood out to me was how these devices are designed not just to look good but to integrate smoothly into daily life, from health and fitness tracking to immersive audio and home security.
Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm: A Stylish Everyday Companion
The Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm immediately caught my eye with its clean design and bright 1.32-inch AMOLED display. Even under the event lights, the screen was clear and vibrant, which I imagine would hold up well outdoors. The slim and lightweight build made it comfortable to wear, and I liked that it comes in versatile colors like Black, Mint Green, and White. The Sunset Gold version with its gold Milanese strap and lab-grown diamond detail stood out as the most premium option.
What impressed me most was its upgraded health tracking, including more accurate heart-rate monitoring and guided sleep improvement plans. The GNSS dual-band positioning for outdoor activities felt like a big plus for runners and cyclists. With over 150 sports modes and the ability to control your phone’s video recording during workouts, this watch felt like a practical upgrade for anyone serious about fitness but also interested in style.
Xiaomi Open Wear Stereo Pro: Comfortable Sound All Day
I tried on the Open Wear Stereo Pro during the event and was surprised by how lightweight it felt. Its open-wear design and flexible titanium wire adjusted easily to my ears, making it comfortable even after several minutes of use. The sound quality was balanced with clear highs and strong bass, perfect for music, movies, or calls. What really stood out was its 8.5-hour battery life per charge, which can extend up to 45 hours with the case. Fast charging also makes it ideal for people like me who are always on the go and forget to charge their earbuds.
I also appreciated its sound leakage reduction technology, which is practical if you’re working in shared spaces or commuting. The Harman Audio presets were a nice touch, too, giving listeners simple ways to customize sound without digging through complicated settings.
Xiaomi Smart Band 10 Glimmer Edition: Fitness Meets Style
Xiaomi’s Smart Band 10 Glimmer Edition marks the brand’s tenth year of wearables, and it felt like a true celebration product. The Glimmer Gold finish adds a subtle premium look, and the option to wear it as a pendant or bag charm was a fun twist that I haven’t seen much from other brands. Its 1.72-inch AMOLED display looked smooth and responsive, and it carries over all the familiar Xiaomi fitness features like heart rate monitoring, over 150 sports modes, and advanced sleep tracking.
I liked that it doubles as a mini smart hub with Xiaomi HyperOS, letting you control connected devices or even your phone’s camera remotely. With a battery life of up to 21 days, it’s clearly designed for people who don’t want to charge their wearables constantly.
Xiaomi Smart Camera C701: Smart Security at Home
The Smart Camera C701 felt like the quiet hero of the lineup. Its 4K Ultra HD video and full-color night vision make it useful for parents or pet owners who want to check in at night without disturbing anyone. The AI-powered alerts, including pet, baby, and human detection, sounded practical for busy households. I especially liked the privacy feature that lets you physically shield the lens when you’re home, giving full control over when it’s recording. With two-way audio, noise detection, and panoramic monitoring, it’s a complete home security upgrade.
Xiaomi’s latest wearables and smart cameras are available from September 26 to October 12 on Shopee with special launch prices. The Watch S4 41mm starts at PHP 7,299, the Open Wear Stereo Pro at PHP 7,199, the Smart Band 10 Glimmer Edition at PHP 4,699, and the Smart Camera C701 at PHP 1,099. Purchases of the Watch S4 or Open Wear Stereo Pro during this period also come with a free pair of Xiaomi sunglasses.
What I appreciated most about this launch is how Xiaomi continues to make smart living more accessible. None of these devices felt gimmicky; instead, they offered practical features wrapped in thoughtful designs. Whether it’s keeping track of your workouts, enjoying immersive audio, or making your home feel safer, this new lineup seems built for everyday use without overwhelming you with tech jargon or steep price tags.
