Mi Watch Revolve and Mi Band 5 are reportedly going to launch in India soon. The Mi Watch Revolve is said to be a rebranded model of the Mi Watch Color that was launched in China earlier. If true, this smartwatch will be the first from Xiaomi to launch in India. The Mi Band 5 was unveiled in China in June and it is now also expected to launch in India soon. The exact launch date of both the wearables is not known. The Mi Band 5 is said to last for up to 20 days, come with 11 different sports modes, and be water resistant for up to 50 metres.

91Mobiles, in partnership with tipster Ishan Agarwal, reports that Mi Watch Revolve and Mi Band 5 may launch in the Indian market soon. The report says that the Mi Watch Revolve will be nothing but a rebranded Mi Watch Color model that was launched in China earlier. This smartwatch was earlier reported to be called the Mi Watch Revolve in markets outside of China and Agarwal seems to hint that one of the markets that will see the launch is India.

The report also says that the Mi Band 5 may launch in India soon. This fitness band model is the successor of the Mi Band 4 launched last year and it was unveiled in China in June. As mentioned, there is no exact launch date for the arrivals of the two wearables.
