Xiaomi made a significant announcement regarding the eagerly anticipated Watch 2 Pro model.

In the evolving smartwatch market, Xiaomi has consistently made its presence felt by releasing a diverse range of timepieces, from pocket-friendly models to those embellished with a Sapphire crystal face. What's been consistent, though, is Xiaomi's choice of software, as they have always opted for their in-house MIUI skin, especially tailored for wearables. But in a significant deviation, the imminent Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro is slated to operate on Google's Wear OS platform.

The global launch of the Watch 2 Pro is scheduled for September 26, as disclosed by Xiaomi. This unveiling will take place in Berlin, and it's anticipated that the Xiaomi 13T series might share the stage during this event. While the company remained tight-lipped about the watch's detailed specifications, they did confirm that the Wear OS would be its driving force.
