Xiaomi released a special edition of its Watch S5 that swaps the standard opaque casing for a transparent design. This limited run offers a glimpse into the hardware construction that usually stays hidden inside the device. Buyers interested in unique aesthetic details can now see the internal layout through the clear case.
Limited run of 5,000 units showcases internal hardware
The device uses a 47 mm case size that matches the standard Watch S5 dimensions. Xiaomi offsets the transparent body with a stainless steel bezel to provide structural contrast. The front glass utilizes Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass 3.0 technology for durability.
Specifications
- Case Size: 47 mm
- Glass Technology: Xiaomi Dragon Crystal Glass 3.0
- Bezel Material: Stainless steel
- Price: CNY 2,499 (around $372)
- Production Run: 5,000 units
Production is strictly limited to 5,000 units, making this a rare variant of the popular smartwatch. The company introduced the Watch S5 Transparent Edition during the Xiaomi 18 series launch event in China. This timing ties the wearable release directly to the main smartphone announcement.
The watch retails for CNY 2,499, which converts to approximately $372. This pricing positions the transparent model as a premium collectible rather than a mass-market item. We previously covered the Xiaomi Body Fat Scale 4 Pro in our earlier Xiaomi coverage, showing the brand's continued focus on health and accessory ecosystems.
Availability appears restricted to the Chinese market due to the small production volume. It seems unlikely that this model will be sold outside China given the limited run. The transparent design serves as a visual showcase for the internal components rather than a functional upgrade.
