Xiaomi reveals a connected watch whose assistant is powered by ChatGPT. The Black Shark S1 Pro is sold by the eponymous video game subsidiary of the Chinese manufacturer.
Do you know Black Shark ? No ? However, you know the parent company of this brand: Xiaomi. It is in fact its subsidiary in charge of mobile gaming products. Gamepads, wireless headphones, smartphone cooling fans (yes, yes) and smartwatches. The products are offered at very affordable prices and the Chinese giant Tencent even sought to acquire the firm in 2022, without success. Black Shark regularly releases new devices, the latest being the S1 Pro smartwatch.
With its sports watch appearance, it will appeal to fans of running or other activities, especially as it allows you to monitor your activities. If you are more into e-sport, there is also a measurement mode adapted to video games. This is the sector that Black Shark is positioned in after all. The S1 Pro has a 1.43 inch screen displaying a definition of 466 x 466 pixels. Its maximum brightness is 600 nitsand the battery 300mAh promises 15 days of autonomywithout specifying under what conditions of use however.
Xiaomi unveils a connected watch integrating ChatGPT
If the watch is certified IP68 and states that it is “fully washable”, it is not made for swimming or diving. She also does not have cellular module, which requires pairing it with a smartphone. Without integrated GNSS chipdon’t count on the S1 Pro either for record the distances traveled during your sporting activities. But what makes the device so unique, at least for now, is the ChatGPT integration. Artificial intelligence is stated as “AI voice assistant“, just like Siri, Alexa or Google.
No details are given unfortunately, so it is difficult to realize the possibilities of the chatbot integrated into the connected watch. The latter clearly includes a microphone and one loud speaker to be able to talk to him, but we don’t know more. We are not in the presence of an alternative to the Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro, but if the Black Shark S1 Pro interests you, you can order it for $69. It is shipped to France from a warehouse located in Poland to reduce shipping costs.
