One of the most popular new year resolutions is to get fit. If you are one of those who plan to take your health and general fitness seriously this year, then Huami has some nice deals on its watches. Just a few days after announcing a price cut for the Amazfit GTR, it has announced a price cut for the Amazfit Health Watch.

The Azmazfit Health Watch was announced in June 2018 and became available for purchase in August. It has a similar design to the Amazfit Bip and is erroneously referred to as the Amazfit Bip 2 by some. When it launched, it sold for ¥699 (~$100), starting today, you will be able to purchase the watch for just Amazfit Health Watch.

The Health Watch, unlike Amazfit’s other products, measures not only the heart rate but also detects if the wearer has an irregular heartbeat thanks to its built-in ECG measurement feature. It also has fall detection and will automatically contact a pre-configured number if there is an emergency.

The Amazfit Health Watch is powered by the Huangshan No.1, an AI wearable chipset made by Huami. It can store up to 60 ECG data (2 ECG per day) for up to 30 days. You can also choose to upload the data to the cloud using the app and proceed to share the data with relatives, friends, and health professionals.

The watch has a 1.28-inch reflective screen with a 176 x 176 resolution. It uses 20mm quick-release straps that are easily replaceable. The watch also has an eSIM for connecting to NB-IoT networks, so it can sync data to the cloud or notify contacts of an emergency. There is a 200mAh battery that can last up to 7 days on a single charge.

The watch also has a step counter, a sedentary reminder, a calorie counter, and a sleep tracker. It will alert you when there is a notification on your phone and also has a reminder.

Amazfit has also discounted practically all its other watches too. If you are looking for something inexpensive, you may want to check out the Amazfit Bip Lite which is currently down to ¥199 (~$29) for a limited time. This has all the features of the standard Bip save for GPS.

Huami Technology has officially launched the Amazfit Health Watch for sale in China today.

It comes in at 699 yuan ($99).

When the Amazfit Health Watch was released earlier this year, Huami touted it as the industry’s first smart watch with health monitoring as its core. It’s a fully functional health oriented smartwatch and the design is quite nice as well. The wearable is equipped with NB-IoT independent communication. It can report emergency health events in real time without Bluetooth connection. It can transmit important contents such as low heart rate, PPG monitoring, atrial fibrillation and fall detection. In addition, this watch can store up to 60 minutes of ECG data locally and last up to 7 days. The watch maker also offers users some cloud health services for users. You can directly log all your health data and get online consultation on your health, and there’s even a feature that issues an emergency SMS in case your heart acts up.

Huami Amazfit Health Watch is successor to the Amazfit BIP. It flaunts a new squarish design with a PVD craft metal bezel and beautiful straps. To bring AI support, Huami added Huangshan No.1 SoC. The new watch comes with NB-IOT narrowband network technology allowing it to report multiple emergencies without the Bluetooth connection. There is a considerable improvement in the new Huami Health Watch over its predecessor.

Design and Display

The Amazfit Health Watch follows the fundamental design principle of the Huami BIP smartwatch. It carries the same four-sided design along with the 1.28-inch color display having the 176 x 176 pixels resolution. It is 3ATM water-resistant smartwatch as like its predecessor. Amazfit Health Watch measures 42 x 35 x 12.5mm in dimensions and weighs 45 grams. In design terms, both the smartwatches look identical without any significant change.

Software and Hardware

The new smartwatch majorly involves the ECG sensor and the optical heart rate sensor. It can detect arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation. It is powered by the world’s first NPU enabled Huangshan No.1 processor.

There’s a 6-axis low-power IMU, ECG sensor and PPG heart rate sensor. It comes with a narrowband network technology which doesn’t require Bluetooth connection to report emergency health services. It can send critical data in case the user gets into some serious health condition like low heart rate, fall, etc. The four-sided metal wrap is present around its squarish dial for the stylish look. There are four core AI intelligence engines like cardiac biometrics engine, ECG, ECG Pro, and Hearth Rhythm Abnormality Monitoring Engine.

On the other hand, the Amazfit BIP is limited to four modes like outdoor running, indoor running, cycling, and walking. Also, it does not carry any AI feature to automate some functions. Along with the speed reminder feature, and excessive heart rate reminder, the new watch effectively and efficiently tells about the ECG data derived from the latest AI module.

Battery

The battery of Amazfit Health Watch is uplifted to 200 mAh with a minor increase from 190 mAh in the Amazfit BIP. However, the insignificant increase in the battery size didn’t help it to improve on the standby time. The new watch’s battery life has reduced from 20 days to 7 days due to the presence of varu=ious new features.

Pricing

The Amazfit Health Watch is available for 700 Yuan, which roughly translates to $100. It will be made available in China later this month. Huawei Amazfit BIP currently retails at $65 (449 Yuan) in China. You can pre-order the Amazfit Health Watch now.
