Xiaomi offers a tonne of custom watch faces for the Mi Band 4. The company has now reportedly begun the rollout of a new update for the Mi Band 4 in China that brings a host of new watch faces. Some of the watch faces arriving with the update are inspired by characters from video games and anime series. The new watch faces for the Mi Band 4, which was launched under the Mi Smart Band 4 moniker in India yesterday, have been released as part of a monthly schedule.
