Xiaomi Watch S3 Review: Great design, but is it worth the HyperOS hype?

Taking a closer look into the design of the Xiaomi Watch S3.

Design variants

Xiaomi currently offers two main editions for the S3, just like the smart band 8 Pro. The package includes a sleek black case with a matching black strap, as well as a stylish silver variant accompanied by a cool gray strap.

Moving to the build quality, the Xiaomi Watch S3 feels solid and well-constructed. The attention to detail is evident, with smooth edges and a comfortable strap made from high-quality materials. The watch is also water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear and various outdoor activities.

In general, the watch has a premium feel. Its case is primarily composed of durable aluminum alloy frame, which gives it a sturdy and durable design. For just a small additional fee, Xiaomi offers the added benefit of versatility with their wide selection of interchangeable straps.

These straps come in a variety of materials and designs, allowing users to customize their look and showcase their individual style preferences. The interchangeable bezels not only enhance the external design, but also offer additional protection to the watch’s outer bezel ring from scratches, impacts or potential drops.

The next level of customization with interchangeable bezels

One of the most intriguing features offered by Xiaomi is the replaceable bezels option. The S3 comes with a pre-installed or assembled bezel that can be replaced by simply rotating it counterclockwise to unlock it from the watch case. The bezels themselves are made of high-quality metal and offer a wide range of fashionable printed design styles and vibrant colors.

Furthermore, the watch is capable of automatically detecting the appropriate watch face based on the bezel design, and we think it looks awesome.

Interchangeable Straps

Replacing the watch strap is a straightforward process. To unhook the strap, slide the hinge lever to the opposite side. Then, insert each piece of the strap into the corresponding holes on the watch and release the lever. Xiaomi offers a diverse selection of strap designs crafted from various materials and colors to suit the wide range of users’ fashion preferences, all of which look fantastic.
