If you like Huami’s AMAZFIT line of smartwatches, then you should look forward to the coming months. The Chinese wearables manufacturer disclosed in an official press release that it has plans to release more than 10 AMAZFIT smartwatches in the coming months!
The press release was published yesterday, 4th of June but the info was first revealed by the CEO of the company, Huang Wang, at the Q1 2019 financial report on June 3.
Huami says these smartwatches will fall between the range of ¥299 (~$43) and ¥2000 (~$289). At the moment, we know a new AMAZFIT smartwatch will be released next week. This watch will come with an eSIM and a Snapdragon Wear 3100 and may be priced at ¥2000 (~$289).
About a week ago, Huami also announced the AMAZFIT Verge Lite and the AMAZFIT Bip Lite – which are both cheaper versions of the Verge and Lite respectively. These two new watches are likely part of the lineup it has planned for this year. However, we also expect there will be some brand new models which will include successors to the AMAZFIT Stratos, the AMAZFIT BIP and the AMAZFIT COR.
The AMAZFIT BIP 2 is definitely coming; seeing as Huami already received Bluetooth certifications for two smartwatches with that name back in December 2018 and in January 2019.
Huami is banking on the expansion of the wearables market which explains why it will be launching several new products this year. According to FROST & SULLIVAN, the global wearables market will increase from 10.3 million units to 27.1 million units.
For the first quarter of this year, the company announced its AMAZFIT brand grew by 62% year-on-year while it made up 41.3% of the total revenue. These figures are impressive and will likely increase as time goes on.
