Huami just announced the Amazfit X smartwatch on Indiegogo, and started the crowdfunding as well (which is turning out to be a success already.) The design of the watch is not so conventional and it is based on the preference of the users.
It has a 2.07-inch 326 PPI 92° curved screen wraps comfortably around your wrist. The company says that it uses 700°C hot bending FPC-connected three-piece motherboard to achieve this so it offers more room for apps and less time spent scrolling. The watch has customized watch faces that tracks your steps and measures your heart rate and has 40+ widgets.
It has a minimalistic design that does away with buttons and crowns so it has a pressure-sensitive sensor that helps you access everything with a press of your finger. The smartwatch monitors your heart rate 24 hours a day, features infrared light test to measure your blood oxygen levels, comes with GPS and GLONASS, has 9 versatile sports modes and has water resistance up to 50 meters.
The Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) gives you easy to understand assessments, has sleep tracking and give you updates on where your stress levels are: Relaxed, Normal, Medium, and High. It promises 7-day battery life even with heart rate monitoring, round the clock text and call notifications, and tracking workouts, thanks to curved 205mAh lithium battery.
