Since leaving Xiaomi’s cloak, Huami has focused on
the Amazfit brand, which had a smartwatch to its name. The company has now
added a new smart fitness band which functions like the Mi Band 2 and even has
more fitness and health tracking features.
The Amazfit smartband comes with a built-in ECG
sensor which performs functions like heart rate monitoring, pulse monitoring
and others. The device comes with a body made from both aluminium and stainless
steel. While the strap is made from a 19mm-wide skin-friendly rubber. There is
a 0.42-inch OLED display at the front and from the display, you can access
features such as time and date and other parameters.amazfit smartband.
The Amazfit fitness band is also equipped with a
built-in ECG sensor which can track data and display it on its own display or
on a connected smartphone. There is also a PPG photoelectric sensor that
monitors the heart rate and sleep pattern. The health band detects variation in
heart rate and notifies the wearer promptly. It also features a low
energy-Bluetooth 4.0 through which it is paired to a smartphone via an app and
the fitness data can then be accessed on the phone.
Further, the Huami Amazfit comes with a triaxial
acceleration sensor as well as an IP67 dust and waterproof certification. The
device is kept on by a 95mAH battery which gets fully charged in just 2.5 hours
and can last up to 7 days on a full charge. The fitness band is ultra-light,
weighing just 10g.
As far as the price goes, the Huami Amazfit
health/fitness band will be sold for a monstrous 699 Yuan (US$ 101) price, which
is like 5 times the current price of the Mi Band 2. The Amazfit health band comes
in Deep Black, Rose Gold and Sapphire Blue colour options.
