The Amazfit Helio ring aims to integrate a host of sleep metrics into your fitness ecosystem by syncing with your smartwatch. But there are a few caveats.
The Amazfit Helio Ring is on sale for $170 (save $30) during Amazon’s Presidents‘ Day sale. That’s 15% off on Amazfit’s flagship smart ring.
The Amazfit Helio Ring is available now in two sizes for $299.99.
It’s comfortable, attractive, and syncs with Amazfit smart watches.
The battery life only lasts four days, the Zepp smartphone software is confusing, and active heart rate readings were inaccurate in my testing.
As a fan of smart watches, I wear one on each wrist on a daily basis. But I don’t like wearing watches to bed, as they get tangled in the sheets and light up when you’re trying to fall sleep. This has left me without a way to track sleep metrics, until I started using smart rings.
I tested the Oura Ring a few years ago, and I found that it was the best device for me to capture sleep and health data because of its unobtrusive form factor. The problem is that Oura’s sleep data doesn’t interface with my sports watch, requiring me to run two different apps to get the full picture of sleep and health data.
So when I met the folks at Amazfit at CES in January, I was excited to see their plans to integrate the Helio Ring into the Zepp ecosystem along with the data from the Amazfit smartwatches. Could this be the complete solution for understanding your health and wellness?
I spent about 10 days with the new Amazfit Helio Ring, along with the Amazfit Cheetah Pro Kelvin Kiptum Commemorative Edition smart watch to find out.
The Amazfit Helio Ring is available for $299.99 in sizes 10 and 12, although more sizes will launch in the future. The ring’s sole available color is called titanium, even though it has a warm, slightly bronze tint to it.
I tested the size 12 titanium alloy ring, which weighs just 3.82 grams, with an 8mm width and 2.6mm thickness. It is completely round, with no flat spots, unlike other smart rings.
