Xiaomi Unveils Compact Watch for Smaller Wrists
New Edition of S4 Targets Comfort and Style
Xiaomi has expanded its smartwatch lineup with the new Watch S4 41mm, a smaller version tailored for users who desire a more streamlined fit. The release includes enhanced features in a lighter, more compact design.
Compact Design, Powerful Features
The Chinese tech giant recently held a press conference where the new model was revealed. The 41mm version is notably more compact, lighter, and thinner than its predecessor. The new watch is 41mm in diameter, 32 grams in weight, and 9.5mm thick, differing significantly from the original model’s 46mm, 44.5 grams, and 12mm dimensions.
Despite its smaller size, the new watch retains a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen, offering a 60 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1500 cd/m². The Watch S4 41 mm boasts the same feature set as the original, along with an added heart rate dissemination mode that can send data to a third-party device, such as a bicycle computer.

The device has over 150 sports modes and a skin temperature sensor. According to a 2024 report by Counterpoint Research, the global smartwatch market grew by 13% year-over-year, with demand rising across multiple regions (Counterpoint Research).
Design and Availability
The new watch comes in clear or dark silver stainless steel, along with a special golden edition that features a Milanese bracelet and a synthetic diamond on the crown. The smaller design results in a shorter battery life. The 41mm version is estimated to last eight days (three days with the always-on display), in contrast to the 46mm model’s 15 days (five days with the always-on display).
Currently, the Xiaomi Watch S4 41 mm is only announced for the Chinese market. The price starts at 999 yuan (approximately 119 euros) and goes up to 1499 yuan (around 179 euros) for the golden edition. No availability details have been released for other markets, including France.
