Back in August 2019, Huami Technology unveiled Amazfit X curved smartwatch. The company crowdfunded it earlier this year on Indiegogo for global customers, followed by on Xiaomi Youpin in China last month. Now, as the product has successfully reached its crowdfunding goals on both these platforms, the firm officially announced its retail price along with commercial availability for China at today’s Amazfit GTR/GTS 2 launch event.
The Amazfit X is one of a kind wearable
with a curved flexible OLED display. Its only competitor is nubia Watch, which
is also still in the crowdfunding phase. However, unlike the nubia wearable
whose future is uncertain, the one from Amazfit now has an official retail
price as well as rough information regarding its commercial availability.
At the Amazfit GTR 2 and Aamzfit GTS 2
launch event, Huami Technology, the company behind Amazfit-branded fitness
products officially revealed that the retail price of Amazfit X will be 1,999
yuan (US$ 295). Surprisingly, It happens to be 100% more or double than the curved
smartwatch’s 999 yuan/US$ 150 crowdfunding price.
Also, the firm did not announce the exact
launch date of this wearable. Instead, it simply mentioned that it will be
available in Q4 2020, which begins next month. Above all, it will be probably
limited to China, at least for the first few months. That said, if the mass
manufacturing process goes as planned, interested customers in the company’s
home country will be able to snag it from online and offline retailers before
the end of this year.
