Zepp Health has announced a new software update for the Amazfit Helio Strap, a fitness tracker without a screen. This firmware update is labeled as version 2.7.0.2, but it’s not yet clear whether it’s being released to all users at once or if there will be a staggered rollout. It’s worth mentioning that this device just had an update in early December, as we previously reported.
Update Details
This update is relatively small, at only 2MB, but it brings several improvements while keeping the core features mostly the same. Zepp Health stated that the sensors have been enhanced with better algorithms, which have been fine-tuned at the software level. Notably, there is an enhanced algorithm for slope tracking, which means the Amazfit Helio Strap will now provide more accurate estimates of sleep duration, sleep quality, and different sleep stages. The changelog indicates that sleep monitoring is now activated automatically.
Workout Enhancements
Alongside these sleep-related enhancements, the fitness tracker is expected to perform better during regular workouts, thanks to an upgraded heart rate measurement algorithm that comes with this update. Additionally, users will receive notifications if the battery runs low after waking up, as long as the charge level fell below a certain point while they were asleep. The changelog also mentions that several other known issues have been resolved. The Amazfit Helio Strap is available for purchase on Amazon for $99.
