Amazfit Helio Smart Ring Review: Bargain bin Bust

Smart rings are in the middle of an Renaissance. This is very good because we have more options than just one OURA ring. The negative side is that most of the opponents of OURA are launching their first, Perhaps Second-Je Smart Ring. Meaning, if you want an OURA ring option, then there is a good chance that you have to keep with a different deficiency of quirks and polish. $ 199.99 Amazfit Helio Smart Ring is no exception.

Amazfit is not a domestic name but Is Famous among the wearable bargaining hunter. This is a compelling brand because its gadgets get you very bang for your deer. The same is the same with Helio Ring, in the first smart rings of the brand. It is primarily a sleep tracker, but it comes with an AI chatboat, called Zape Flow, an AI Coaching feature, and an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor, a blood oxygen sensor to monitor stress , There is a temperature sensor and duration tracking. It sinks with popular third-party fitness apps such as Adidas running, straws and comits as well as Apple Health and Google Fit. Like Samsung Galaxy RingIt works with other smartwatches of Amazfit so that you can double on data sources – or switch between the two based on activity or the remaining battery life.

It has been packed in a very smart ring, and since launch, Zape permanently Cut the price from $ 100 and offer free life membership For its aura and fitness services. On paper, it is a stellar deal making. In fact, there is always a grip.

In the case of Helio Ring, this battery is life and limited shape.

Now, Best smart rings Depending on the size, you get about 4-7 days on the same charge. (Large rings, big battery.) Helio ring has been rated for about four days on the same charge, but I never managed it. Best of all, I got almost three. It is not great, Bob. Especially when it is mainly to track sleep. I wore it concurrently OURA Ring 4 And it often had to charge two to three times. When two separate Amazfit watches are worn, I did not even notice any sensible battery gain. With the least galaxy ring, using it with a galaxy watch means a much better battery life because Samsung optimizes which sensors are being used in both devices.

By adding to your battery crises, I do not like that the ring depends on a dock. My cats are happy to knock these cook-like chargers when they get the zoom of the night time. I like charging cases, such as Galaxy ring, ringcon, and used by AV Ring,

The second thing about wearing is that they should be well, WeedableWhile OURA and Samsung Expanded them Size -limits And offer many finishes, Amazfit provides helio smart ring in only one color and three sizes: 8, 10, and 12. It is your shape – it is quite light and comfortable, and it is not scratched like something. My other smart rings. Many people choose the thin shape of leaves, especially women with small hands, especially women. I have to fit the size 8, but for some of my friends, this is not something they can wear.

Another annoyance: there is no shape kit. Get the right size case With smart rings, for both accuracy and comfort. The fingers swell and shrink with a change in temperature, and when the kit size kit can be tired, they are useful in the sense that you can well vet who can do the best to wear size 24/7 Will Work. With Helio Ring, you have to use either a string or a piece of tape to measure the circumference of your finger and then choose based on that measure. Now, No,

But if you can do all this, sleep and health tracking is fine, although it is best for a large picture on your overall trends. For example, a night during my Christmas holiday, I slept for a brilliant 9 hours, 47 minutes per my ring for 4 and 10 hours, 34 minutes per 34 minutes. My eight sleep bedsHelio Ring logged in as 11 hours and 23 minutes. It is true that I spent about 12 hours that evening, which was making his best imprint of a passive log, but I also spent two hours dumcolling, which was consumed on tickets by Black Lively / Justin Baldony drama. I would not say that night accurate, but it was correctly logged in to I was irregular with my sleeping schedule. And Relaxed well throughout the week. Other matrix, such as blood oxygen, HRV and stress, roughly equal to my aura ring and eight sleeping beds.

It is not a great fitness tracker, however. The activities you can choose are limited, you will need your phone for GPS, and it does not automatically track activities. And, if like me, you sometimes forget to eliminate an exercise, there is no way to edit data after the fact. I hope this is something that is added over time.

The ZEPP app is also a mixed bag. The app has been re -designed since I tested Excellent gtr 4And I like the cleaner look and straight interface. My main beef is that it is difficult to see long -term historical data, which was highly annoying when reviewing the matrix for this review. Nevertheless, Zepp Flow AI is one of better implementation for AI Chatbot I have seen in a fitness tracking app. You pop up the weekly insight, and a handful of signals where you can dig further with the chatbot. AI is insight, how we will say, Captain Basic General Knowledge, but at least it is quick, straight to use, and is easily ignored if it is not your point. It is clear that you can get sleep sound and guided breathing through Zep Abha tab for free, but I did not use it much. I have found that I fall asleep best for true crime podcast. Chances are you also a good idea of ​​what works for you and the aura is not going to trump the goods until you are looking for something new.

I do not dislike Helio Smart Ring. But apart from the price, it is not a particularly a compelling option unless you already have an Amazfit Watch. At least, all your data sync on the same app. And yet, your Amazafit Watch will probably exclude the ring and then what are we really doing here? Maybe it will address issues such as a second-gene version or future software battery life and bring more shapes. But until then, it is difficult to call it a true deal.
