Just a little over a week after announcing the Amazfit GTS and Amazfit Sports Watch 3 in its home country of China, Huami as unveiled both watches in Germany at the ongoing IFA 2019 trade show. This might as well be the fastest international launch for any Amazfit product.
Amazfit GTS
The Amazfit GTS is priced at €130 and packs a number of interesting features. It has a 1.65-inch rectangular Super Retina-grade AMOLED display with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 protection. You get up to a 100 different watch faces too. The watch has GNSS (GPS+GLONASS) and boasts a battery life of 2 weeks (25 hours with GPS turned on). It also has a heart-rate sensor with continuous tracking and can track up to 12 different sporting activities. It is waterproof up to 50 meters.
The GTS uses 20mm quick release silicone straps and comes in six different colors. It works with Android and iOS devices. Huami hasn’t announced the UK and US pricing yet.
Amazfit Stratos 3
When the Amazfit Sports Watch 3 launched, we told you it would launch globally as the Stratos 3, and we were right.
The Stratos 3 is designed for professionals and enthusiasts. It has a circular dial – a 1.34” JDI Full-Moon reflective low-power display covered with Gorilla Glass 3. There are two operating systems on the watch as well as two chips – one for each OS. It also has four buttons on the right side of the frame.
The Amazfit Stratos 3 has 4GB of storage and 512MB of RAM. There is a built-in music player, so you can load it up with podcasts to listen to while you work out. It can track up to 19 different activities, has a continuous heart rate tracker and V02 max measurement.
In Ultra Endurance Mode, the Stratos 3’s 300mAh battery will last up to 2 weeks on a single charge while sports mode will see the battery life drop to half. It also has GNSS (GPS, Beidou, GLONASS, and Galileo) and NFC and has a 5ATM water-resistant rating. Of course, you also get notifications from apps and calls when paired to your phone.
There is a premium version called the Stratos 3+ (Sports Watch 3 Elite Edition) with Sapphire Glass instead of Gorilla Glass, a titanium bezel instead of stainless steel, and quick release fluoro-rubber straps instead of silicone straps.
Pricing and availability have not yet been revealed for both the Stratos 3 and Stratos 3+.
