While Xiaomi has yet to officially announce the update, users in select regions like the UK, Poland, and Spain have reported receiving it. This gradual rollout requires users to manually check for the update in their watch’s firmware settings.
The arrival of Wear OS 4 brings visual enhancements to the Xiaomi smartwatches, including refreshed fonts, updated icons, and a broader selection of watch faces.

This update enhances the user experience, making them even more appealing to Android users seeking a well-rounded smartwatch at a competitive price. Xiaomi’s commitment to Wear OS, especially with their continued presence in the US market, positions them as a strong contender in the Android smartwatch space.
