Amazfit Helio Strap Pro Pre-orders Begin at $199.99
The Amazfit Helio Strap Pro was officially unveiled on Thursday, though Amazfit did not reveal pricing details yesterday. Now, Amazfit has opened pre-orders for the Helio Strap Pro at $199.99, with shipping set to begin on June 25. While this means the Amazfit Helio Strap Pro costs twice as much as the older Amazfit Helio Strap, Amazfit is still able to undercut the list price of mid-range smartwatches like the Garmin Instinct 3 ($299). For this price, buyers get a package that includes both the Core Motion HR and the Core Motion Waist.
Dual Sensor Setup for Accuracy
To track workouts as accurately as possible, the Core Motion HR – which features a built-in heart rate and motion sensor – is designed to be worn on the upper arm, while the Core Motion Waist motion sensor can be worn around the waist using either a clip or a strap. With more than 60 sport modes, the Amazfit Helio Strap Pro is designed to be relatively versatile. Thanks to the additional motion sensor on the waist, Amazfit aims to track strength and cardio workouts with higher precision.
Core Stability and Muscle Strain Analysis
This sensor allows the Helio Strap Pro to better assess core stability and the strain on various muscles. The Amazfit Helio Strap Pro also offers most of the features already familiar from the Helio Strap – heart rate can be monitored around the clock, and sleep and recovery are tracked as well. This allows the Amazfit HybridCharge Index to be calculated, which indicates current training capacity on an easy-to-understand scale from 0 to 100 points.
Comprehensive Tracking Features
More details about the Amazfit Helio Strap Pro are available on the official product page. The device is designed for athletes who want deeper insite into their workouts without investing in a full smartwatch. With its dual-sensor approach, Amazfit promises better detection of body movement and heart rate data during complex excercises. The strap itself is adjustable and comfortable for all-day wear, though the additional waist sensor might take some getting used to for new users. Amazfit USA haven’t confirmed any specific regional availability restrictions yet, but the product is listed with shipping starting in late June.
