Xiaomi reported that there were over 5,000 shipments per hour at one point, making it the fastest-shipping wearable by the company ever. It now comes with a bigger OLED with a mightier resolution, 2.5D curved glass on top and more functions, but Xiaomi promises it will keep its 15-20 days battery life that is the biggest selling point of the wearable.
