Amazfit introduced its first smart ring called Helio at CES 2024, claiming that the ring is capable of monitoring comprehensive data on the user's mental and physical state with an accuracy that can only be achieved through a device worn on the finger.
Thanks to brands like Oura, Circular, Go2sleep, Ultra Human, Rogbid, etc., the era of smart rings is slowly dawning.
Samsung is rumored to be developing its own smart ring, which may debut at next week's Galaxy Unpacked event.
Amazfit claims that its Helio smart ring has a lot of features compared to other smart rings in the market.
Made of titanium alloy, the Helio Smart Ring is durable, lightweight, comfortable to wear and weighs only 4 grams.
The smart ring provides detailed sleep tracking and post-workout recovery stats, and is water-resistant up to 10 ATM standards, meaning it's waterproof up to 100 meters.
The company designed this smart ring specifically for athletes who want to go beyond the limits of recovery, analysis, and training monitoring, and it features the usual health monitoring sensors such as a heart rate monitor, blood saturation, blood oxygen, pressure, and a sleep tracker.
The standby indicator monitors sleep quality and physical effort and alerts the user if limits are exceeded. The smart ring provides information such as VO2max, training load and training effect using the PeakBeat algorithm and supports a variety of training and exercise methods.
Amazfit also offers an integrated electrical activity sensor that can measure high levels of stress caused by sweaty hands.
You can use the Helio Smart Ring with your existing Amazfit smartwatch, expanding the ring's functionality as data from both wearables can be combined to provide additional information.
Amazfit hasn't revealed the size of the Helio's battery, but recent tests have shown that the smart ring can last up to five days on a single charge.
There's also the AI-powered subscription service Zepp Aura, which is described as a rest and wellness service and costs $70.
The service provides ambient sounds while you sleep, provides weekly and monthly sleep reports, and includes a chatbot through which you can ask various questions about your health.
