A new smartwatch is reimagining how we wear technology

Smartwatches have been on the market for more than twenty years, yet most have had little in the way of an aesthetic transformation. Whether you're a dedicated athlete, or you're just trying to sleep a little easier, smartwatches are the go-to tech item to monitor our bodies and minds. Now, one brand is setting itself apart from the pack with game-changing features that make healthy living easier and more fun.

Earlier this year, global smartwatch brand Amazfit — a company known for delivering innovative wearable technology with industry leading battery life, futuristic transflective screens, and advanced heart monitoring sensors — unveiled a new smartwatch featuring new upgrades and a unique curved design.

Enter the Amazfit X Curved Smartwatch

With initial seed money from a successful crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, the Amazfit X Curved Smartwatch is a slick piece of wearable tech made with 92-degree curvature that helps the watch fit to your wrist better while also providing superior comfort and access. To achieve this precise curvature, engineers heat the glass cover on the Amazfit X to 700 degrees Celsius and use a six-step bending process to ensure the watch sits easily on each customer's wrist. Its curved design offers a bigger LED screen optimized for all your smartwatch's essential tasks, so the information you need is readily available at your fingertips without excessive scrolling or draining battery life. The Amazfit X can even last for seven days on a single charge.

A fitness enthusiast’s best friend

The Amazfit X Curved Smartwatch is especially well-suited for those who like to stay connected and lead a healthy lifestyle. It features a step counter with a 100-point scoring system to help gamify your exercise regimen. It’s easy to see the progress of fitness goals through customizable tracking and coaching with Amazfit X’s nine versatile sports modes, including indoor and outdoor cycling, running, elliptical workouts, and walking. The Amazfit X Curved Smartwatch is also waterproof in depths of up to 50 meters, which makes it ideal for pool and open water swimming. The better you move, the higher you score — the Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) system makes it easy to understand where you’re killing it and where you can push harder.

If you like using a sleep tracker, Amazfit X's fitness tracker also collects crucial sleep data, which helps determine the optimal sleep schedule for your active lifestyle. Stress levels are also easier to manage, too, thanks to Amazfit X’s heart monitoring system, which sends you updates on your stress levels, whether it's normal, medium, or high. Blood oxygen levels and heart rate levels are also monitored through the watch’s infrared light system. Plus, the Amazfit X gets you where you need to go with two different geo-locators — GPS and GLONASS — making it more usable abroad and at home. Additionally, Amazfit X has the basics covered, with weather forecast notifications, timers, wake-up alarms, and a stopwatch. When you're not using it, put it in Do Not Disturb or nap mode so you can relax to your heart’s content.

A company fully dedicated to innovation

Amazfit's maker, Huami, is no stranger to creating revolutionary products in the health and wellness category. With Amazfit HomeStudio, you can have a smart gym hub right where you live. A high-end slat belt treadmill with an integrated 43” LCD smart mirror allows users to synchronize their workouts with a variety of on-demand classes taught by NYC’s top fitness instructors. The mirror that plays your videos can also track your exercise data, including movement and calorie consumption. With Amazfit ZenBuds — light, noise-blocking earbuds for sleep monitoring — and Amazfit PowerBuds — fitness-friendly earbuds with heart rate monitoring and magnetic ear hooks to help keep the product secured and in place – Huami has created a line of products that all work in tandem with the Amazfit X Smartwatch, creating a unified experience.

Beyond fitness, Huami is also currently developing a new device called the Amazfit Aeri, which will function much like a high tech N95 mask. These masks couldn't come at a better time, as wearing masks has become the new normal for the foreseeable future. This transparent mask will come with built-in ultraviolet light emitters and removable air filters, and can even self-clean with a boost from a USB-C plug, making it effective for one and a half months instead of the eight hours typical of regular N95s.

Check out the Amazfit X Curved Smartwatch, as well as many other game-changing Huami products, today.
