The Poco Watch is happening and that too in the way we all expected! Ever since its revival in 2020 as an independent entity, Poco has been milking Redmi’s R&D to facilitate its cash registers.

There is no other way to put this but the Poco Watch looks exactly the same as the Redmi version. It even has a similar watch face for its main face. There’s no crazy Poco cosmetic change visible as well. But don’t be disappointed as the spec sheet could entice a few.

Based on the leaked info from OnLeaks and Digit, it is said that the Poco Watch will get a 1.6-inch AMOLED display instead of using the LCD display from the Redmi version. This display will have a resolution of 360 x 320 pixels. The watch is also said to feature the usual monitoring stuff such as heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen saturation reading, and more sports mode tracking. It will even have a similar 225mAh battery.
