It also features a button on the front and a LED display that in the image appears to show off the time. There is a rubber strap similar to the original Mi Band to hold the unit in place. Older details come from a Chinese website, who in an interview with Huami Technology’s CEO, Wang. Wang who worked with Xiaomi on the first Mi Band, is also working on building the next Mi Band and a smartwatch. Both devices are expected to be announced in the next two months. Wang states that the new smartwatch will work towards reducing its dependability on a smartphone to display information which is why there’s a display.
