Amazfit - a health and fitness-focused smart wearable brand that's part of the Zepp Health health tech company - has announced its first smart ring at the ongoing CES 2024. It's called the Amazfit Helio Ring. The Amazfit Helio Ring is developed for athletes and focuses on providing them with the recovery support needed to improve their performance. Amazfit says the Helio Ring can "monitor comprehensive data related to the user's mental and physical condition with accuracy only possible from a wearable worn on the finger."
The data collected by the Amazfit Helio
Ring is made "actionable" with the Zepp app, which turns it into an
intuitive Readiness score to help athletes determine whether they should focus
on activity or recovery. The Amazfit Helio Ring can be worn as a standalone
device or as a complimentary device together with an Amazfit smartwatch. If
it's the latter, the data from the ring and the smartwatch will be fused for a
deeper analysis in the Zepp app.
The Helio Ring will come with a free
3-month trial of the Zepp Aura rest and wellness service to help athletes
better with recovery and performance. The smart ring will also come with the
usual slew of health and fitness features, including sleep tracking and heart
rate monitoring. It will also support a few sports modes and feature an EDA
(Electrodermal Activity) sensor for emotional monitoring.
The Amazfit Helio Ring is made of
skin-friendly titanium alloy and has 10ATM water resistance. The smart ring
will come in two sizes - 10 and 12, weighing 3.8g and 4g, respectively. Amazfit
hasn't revealed the Helio Ring's battery size but said current testing suggests
it can last up to five days on a single charge.
