Xiaomi‘s latest flagship smartwatch could finally be getting a release outside of China. A fresh leak has suggested that the Xiaomi Watch 5 is rolling out in the global market. The wearable first debuted in the brand’s home market back in December 2025, so here’s what we know about its wider launch.

Xiaomi Watch 5 Global Launch

After the initial announcement alongside the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, recent leaks suggest that the premium smartwatch could launch beyond its home market with premium specs, robust health tracking, and Google Play support. Unlike the China-only version that currently runs Xiaomi’s local software layer and HyperOS integration, the global Watch 5 is tipped to switch to WearOS. This would mark Xiaomi’s return to a broader smartwatch ecosystem with direct access to Google’s app store, Tiles, assistants and more.

In other words, the smartwatch would likely compete directly with the likes of the Google Pixel Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch series that also run on WearOS. Early details from European price leaks point to the Watch 5 being listed in Czechia for around 7,990 CZK (roughly 390 US Dollars). The earlier listing also reveals the smartwatch in two color options, Black and Juniper Green. This is for the 47mm case, and hints at an imminent launch.

While specs for the global model are expected to mirror what’s already on offer in China, here’s what buyers are likely to get:

• 1.54-inch AMOLED display
• Dual-chip architecture with Snapdragon W5
• Advanced health sensors (ECG, SpO2, and more)
• Stainless steel body
• 5ATM water resistance

Battery life details suggest multi-day endurance, offering around six days in smart mode and over 18 days in the power saving mode.
