Amazfit just announced a
plethora of new products including two pairs of wireless buds in addition to
the Amazfit T-Rex rugged smartwatch and the Bip S. Let's start with the T-Rex.
The device complies to 12 of the MIL-STD-810G military standards and boasts
5ATM water resistance.
The T-Rex is built around a
1.3-inch AMOLED display protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and is powered by a 390
mAh battery, which according to Amazfit can go for 66 days straight in
watch-only mode. In its most intensive use mode with GPS tracking it can still
last you 20 hours, meaning it will go through even the most grueling day. The
smartwatch incorporates a Sony GPS chip with dual-star positioning system and
am optical BioTracker PPG heart rate tracker .
The Amazfit T-Rex starts at
CNY 799 (US$ 115) and comes in Camouflage, Iwaguchi, Gun Ash, Khakhi and Army
Green paint jobs. Alongside the rugged T-Rex, Amazfit also brought the Bip S
which is a more traditional offering that aims to deliver unrivaled battery
life alongside all the fitness and health tracking features we’ve come to
expect.
It comes with a 1.28-inch
transflective color LCD with always-on capabilities and a 176 x 176-pixel
resolution. The watch also sports IP68 rating and comes with onboard GPS,
Bluetooth 5.0, heart-rate tracking and fitness tracking for 10 sports modes.
Battery life is the area where
the Bip S excels, lasting for 40 days of normal use. The watch weighs just 31
grams and will be available in Carbon Black, Red Orange, Warm Pink, and White
Rock colors. Pricing is set at US$ 70 with sales scheduled to start in February.
Moving to the so-called
Amazfit PowerBuds, these ones are particularly interesting as they offer PPG
heart rate sensor built-in. An IP55 rating should be enough to withstand rain
and sweat. The charging case features a 450 mAh battery while the buds pack 55
mAh cells. This should be enough to get you through 8 hours of non-stop
listening on a single charge.
The PowerBuds feature wear
sensors that allow them to pause your track as soon as you take them off. The
available colors are Refreshing White, Shadow Black and Racing Yellow.
And finally, the Amazfit
ZenBuds with silicone earmuffs that should isolate the ambient noise quite
effectively. Moreover, they are equipped with sensors that track your sleep for
a full and comprehensive report in the morning. Amazfit comes out with a
smartwatch and two pairs of true wireless buds.
The heart rate monitor is at
hand as well to further help the buds analyze your sleep. You can set some
chill tones to help you go to sleep more easily. And to preserve battery life,
the buds will automatically turn off the musing when they sense you've gone to
sleep.
They seem to be a pretty good
traveling companion on the plane and can go for 12 hours straight while the
included charging box extends that time by another 56 hours.
