The Amazfit Health Watch smart watch, the advantages and disadvantages of which we will consider in this article, was released in the summer of 2019.

The device was presented on June 11, 2019, so any user can purchase it today. Let's talk about the features of this gadget, as well as what makes it stand out from the competition.

Model overview

Smart watch Health Watch, at first glance, is unremarkable. There are no unnecessary components, the device is made in the form factor of a square, the corners are rounded. The dimensions are compact and are 42x35x12.5 mm, so the watch feels comfortable on the hand.

As the main materials for production, the manufacturer took polycarbonate materials, as well as stainless steel, but this did not affect the weight of the device. The mass of smart watches without a strap is 25 g, and the case is almost not felt on the wrist. Directly in the case material is the main difference with the Amazfit Bip model.

Both devices are protected by Gorilla Glass 3, which provides increased resistance to all sorts of damage to the display. In addition, due to the presence of such protection, the owner does not need to worry about buying additional film.

Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protects the screen from chips, scratches and other mechanical damage. The strap of the device is adjustable, so the gadget fits different wrist sizes.

The device is equipped with a removable bracelet, which is undoubtedly its advantage. In the implementation there are only 3 colors:

1. Black.
2. Chocolate.
3. Powder with a "golden" case.

Interesting information! The device looks solid thanks to the body made of metal, so that the watch can be combined with different wardrobe styles.

Specifications

The technical parameters of smart watches are similar to other models of the series in question. Among the main characteristics it is worth highlighting: Smart watches stand out from the competition with a one-piece moisture-resistant case. According to the manufacturer, the device freely withstands immersion to a depth of up to 30 m, but at the same time, experts advise against pouring hot water on the gadget.

• transreflective display with a diagonal of 1.28 inches and a resolution of 176x176 px;
• modern advanced chip Huangshan No.1;
• wireless unit for connecting Bluetooth version 5, as well as NB-loT;
• battery, the capacity of which is 290 mAh with economical energy consumption.

It should be noted that the parameters of battery life are, first of all, in the operating conditions. If you constantly use the gadget, the battery will be discharged in about 3 days. If you follow the rules of standby mode and the lowest power consumption, then the device will work for about 7 days.

The maximum battery consumption is consumed when pairing with a phone, since this requires Bluetooth to be on all the time. If you turn off the connection, the battery will last longer, however, in this situation, the notification option will cease to function. This does not apply to emergency notifications, because the smartphone will receive them even without the Bluetooth module turned on.

The main distinguishing feature of Amazfit Health is the presence of an integrated sensor designed to monitor the work of the heart. The heart rate sensor, which is called the BioTracker PPG, is a 6-axis low-power electrocardiogram sensor. This is the key innovation of this model made in China.

Manufacturers confidently talk about the absence of measurement errors, citing the value of comparing watches with medical devices as evidence. In this context, the device will be a great gift for people who have heart problems, as they need to always follow its rhythm (the same goes for athletes).

The device "knows how" to track disorders and disturbances in the work of the heart, which increases the comfort of its use even when going to the doctor. In addition to calculating the pulse and monitoring the ECG, there are many other noteworthy functionalities. Let's consider it in more detail.

Functionality and comparison with competitors

In terms of functionality, the difference between Health and Bip is the presence of GPS.

The latter are provided with GLONASS and GPS sensors, thanks to which the owner has the opportunity to calculate their own geolocation, pave the way to the required point, track the route or plan it in advance.

In the model we are considering, there is no navigation system, which introduces some limitations. However, the manufacturer warned before release that this device is positioned primarily for monitoring health, not activity. This is the reason why they do not have a navigation system.

The model more accurately monitors the activity of the owner, when compared with the same Bip. This was achieved by integrating a 6-axis accelerometer, since the Bip has a 3-axis sensor.

If movement stops or the smart watch falls, the device instantly sends an emergency notification to the smartphone using NB-IoT technology - in a way, mobile communication with the lowest level of information transfer.

The device calculates the pulse and heart rate without restrictions in all of the 4 available modes:

1. Outdoor running.
2. Running indoors.
3. Walking.
4. Cycling.

Considering the positioning of the smart watch, these modes are enough to properly monitor the state of health.
