Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm unboxing

The Xiaomi Watch S4 is a big hit. It has good battery life, solid looks, and a capable hardware package. But with a 47mm case, it isn't for people with smaller wrists. Cue in the Xiaomi Watch S4 41mm, a more slender and more refined variant of the S4.

It's lightweight at just 32 grams and features a more discreet 41.2mm case. It doesn't feel cheap however, on the contrary, the stainless steel case is solid and has the air of premiumity people want in a timepiece.

There are two case finishes to choose from - this Sunset Gold, which exclusively comes with a Milanese strap, and Silver, which can pair with a black or mint fluororubber band with a braided texture, or a white leather strap.

All cases have a unique crown, matching the strap color, whether that's black, white, or mint green.

However, our Sunset gold edition comes with a unique diamond crown, the likes of which we've never seen on a wearable.

The screen upfront is a flush 1.32-inch AMOLED with an impressive 1,500 nits of high brightness and 2,200 nits of peak brightness.

The screen comes with a matching diamond-themed watch face, but there's a myriad of others to choose from.

The Watch S4 41mm is already globally available. It comes in at €159/£129 for the Black and Mint Green color options with the TPU strap. The Sunset Gold version, which features a stainless-steel Milanese strap, is going for €219/£189.

There is more and more choice for fans of smaller watches these days. The Watch S4 41mm is definitely more feminine compared to the OnePlus Watch 3 43mm and the Pixel Watch 4 41mm.
