Huami teased the launch of new products a week ago and now the first of them has surfaced. The Amazfit Neo is a smartwatch with a retro design but modern-day smartwatch features including 24-hour heart rate monitoring, step counting, and even app alerts. The watch is now available on pre-sale on AliExpress.
The Amazfit Neo has an always-on 1.2-inch retro-styled STN (Super-twisted Nematic) display. The display is power efficient and can be seen clearly under bright light. It even has a backlight that turns on when you lift up your wrist to check the screen.
The display has four sides and is housed in a polycarbonate body that is attached to PUR straps. There are four textured buttons – two on each side – for operating the watch. Some functions even require you to press two buttons at the same time. The Amazfit Neo is available in three colors – Green, Black, and Orange.
There is a BioTracker PPG sensor for 24-hour heart rate monitoring and the watch will alert you if your heart rate is abnormal. Apart from tracking your steps, there is the PAI health assessment system that helps you understand your health better.
The Amazfit Neo also has sleep tracking and will even track naps (between 11 AM and 6 PM) and also REM sleep. Amazfit says it has sports tracking – running, walking, and cycling – but you have to go into the app to select which activity to track. The watch will also alert you when you receive phone calls, messages, and emails.
Other features of the watch include water resistance up to 50 meters, a 160mAh battery that will last up to 28 days on a single charge with typical usage, and Bluetooth 5.0 LE. The smartwatch works with the Zepp app and is compatible with both Android and iOS devices.
The Amazfit Neo has a price tag of $49.99 and is sold by the official Amazfit store on AliExpress. However, you can purchase it for just $39.99 if you grab a $2 store coupon and also use the code “AMAZFITNEO” at checkout. Unfortunately, the store doesn’t mention when the watch will begin shipping.
