Huami Technology is expected to unveil a new smartwatch on August 27 which is just days away. Before now, little is known about the product but the company has revealed that this will be the Amazfit Smart Sports Watch 3. This makes it the successor to the Amazfit Smart Sports Watch 2 also known as Amazfit Stratos. The Stratos was first launched in 2017 as a successor to the Amazfit Pace which is the first-gen Amazfit Smart Sports Watch.
Huami’s vice president, Qi Fandi, has hinted that the upcoming smartwatch will simply be called Amazfit Sports Watch 3 without the “smart” attribute since all their smartwatches are smart”. Adopting a shorter name is always cool. The watch may adopt the alias Amazfit Pace 3 since the previous-gen model was officially known as Amazfit Pace 2. The VP also hinted that the Sports Watch 3 will equally come with not just the Standard version but also an Elite edition. The elite edition will come with better craftsmanship and quality. The body of the Amazfit Sports Watch 3 Elite Edition will be manufactured using a Tic4 titanium alloy with better performance to make the new craftsmanship and technology reach the leading level in sports watches. The watch also has a glass screen made from high-hardness and wear-resistant sapphire crystal. Recall that the Amazfit GTR 47mm also has a Titanium Edition.
Previous leaks tip the Amazfit Sports Watch 3 to feature a 1.34-inch reflective full-circle screen that is cost-effectively customized. The display is supplied by Japan Display Inc. (JDI) which is also the supplier of displays for the Apple Watch models. The watch is also revealed to have NFC meaning it will likely support contactless payment.
