Rachel England for Engadget:

As Xiaomi gears up to launch its 108-megapixel phone at its November 5th event, the company has also unveiled details of its upcoming smartwatch — and it looks awfully familiar. The device — which will probably be called the Mi Watch — bears a striking resemblance to the Apple Watch.

WiFi, GPS and NFC, plus an eSIM…[are] packaged neatly into a shell that’s very similar to the Apple Watch — complete with digital crown on the side — albeit a slightly thicker, less-rounded version.

MacDailyNews Take: Shameless, shameful, and oh-so-predictable. Par for the Xiaomi course. It’s not surprising as Xiaomi’s most original idea was copied from Samsung: Knock off Apple products and services as closely as possible and fleece the ignorant sheep of the world.
