If we talk about smartwatches, we have to talk about Amazfit watches; This brand has managed to carve a place among the best in the industry with advanced health devices. Therefore, when a brand like this decides to bet on a new type of “wearable”, we must understand how important it is.
Indeed, Amazfit has jumped on the smart ring bandwagon; except that in reality, its first device will arrive before many of its competitors. The industry benchmark at the moment is the Oura Ring, but later this year the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Ring is expected.
Amazfit will overtake Samsung, at least in some markets. The launch of the Helio is not confirmed in Europe, probably due to legal and bureaucratic obstacles typical of a new device like this; but at least we now know how much it will cost and when it will be released in the United States.

The Amazfit Helio will be launched on May 15 in the United States, priced at $299.99; Therefore, in case of launch in Europe, a similar price in dollars should be expected, as is usual in the technology sec tor. This is a striking announcement, as it assumes that Amazfit “shoots first”, since the price of the Galaxy Ring is not yet known.
For this price, the Amazfit Helio promises to offer many of the functions possible with a smartwatch, but without the need to wear it on the wrist. Of course, Amazfit would prefer us to wear it, since the company emphasized the ecosystem that was created between its watches and Helium; so much so that the Helios can be purchased at a discounted price with certain Amazfit models. Users who purchase a Cheetah Pro or T-Rex Ultra will be able to purchase a Helio for just $149.99, half the price.

The Amazfit Helio allows us to monitor our health 24 hours a day and is specially designed for athletes. Its design and manufacturing in titanium alloy make it a device very small and light, which will not disturb us while we run or sleep; so this can be particularly striking for those who experience discomfort when wearing a watch in these situations, for example.
As with the rest of Amazfit products, the Helio connects to the Zepp application on our mobile phone to synchronize health data and access advice and information about our body. This includes a readiness score and measures related to physical recoverylike sleep score or heart rate during sleep and rest.
