Xiaomi is aiming to revitalize the Black Shark brand and is selling the corresponding products in the US and Europe. Now, the Black Shark S1 Pro, a new and well-equipped smartwatch, is available for order. The price for the model is US$69, although shipping costs are waived for orders over US$90. Delivery to the US will be made within the US, namely from a US shipping warehouse, so there is no risk of customs duties. The same applies to deliveries within Europe, which come from a warehouse in Poland. However, buyers should not expect their warranty rights to be honored as with a local dealer.
The Black Shark S1 Pro has a 1.43-inch AMOLED screen and thus promises colorful reproduction and good black levels. According to Xiaomi, the smartwatch comes with IP68 certification, meaning that it can withstand the typical stresses of everyday life and sports, but is not suitable for swimming or diving.
Support for ChatGPT is advertised: this function likely refers to the digital assistant. A microphone and loudspeaker are also on board, making it possible to use it as a Bluetooth hands-free device. Since the model does not have its own cellular module, the Black Shark S1 Pro relies on a paired smartphone, and since no GNSS module is integrated, sporting activities cannot be recorded in terms of the distance covered.
