Xiaomi has introduced the Redmi Kids Watch Pro in China, targeting parents who need reliable tracking without relying on constant mobile data. The device addresses a common pain point for families: keeping children safe when they are out of range of cellular networks. By integrating offline GPS capabilities, the watch ensures location data remains accessible even during connectivity blackouts.

The hardware design prioritizes durability and visibility for young users. It features a 1.68-inch display with a resolution of 360 by 390 pixels, providing clear visuals for notifications and maps. The device includes a dual-camera setup with two 5-megapixel sensors, allowing for visual checks and video calls from both front and rear angles.

Under the hood, the watch runs on 1 gigabyte of RAM and 8 gigabytes of storage.
