Alongside the Xiaomi 13T series, Xiaomi has also announced the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro (Image).
Xiaomi has released several smartwatches in the past, but their previous smartwatches either ran a non-AOSP-based OS (like the Watch S1) or Wear OS without Google Apps (like the Mi Watch). The Watch 2 Pro is Xiaomi's first smartwatch to run MIUI on top of Wear OS and have access to the Google Play Store. Plus, unlike the Mi Watch, the Watch 2 Pro will be available outside of China.
The Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro features a round 1.43-inch AMOLED display at 466x466 resolution, comes in a 46mm size, Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon W5+ Gen 1 chipset, up to 65h battery life, dual-band GNSS, and a rotating crown. It'll go on sale for 269 Euros for the Bluetooth model and 329 Euros for the LTE variant. Here are the full specifications:

32GB of storage? Could I put my audiobooks on there and stream them directly to some headphones? Cause that would be sick.
There are Garmin watches you can do that on already. They usually have a "music" suffix to the name but that basically means it has enough on board storage to add music or audio books etc to the watch so you don't need to carry a phone with you on a run or whatever activity.

I don't see why not, so long as you install an app on the watch that's capable of playing those audiobook files!
That sounds promising. I'm still wearing a five-year-old Fossil because nothing since has seemed like enough of an improvement to justify the cost.
I'm on the TicWatch Pro 3 and am really looking forward to upgrading. Now I have even more options to pick from.
