Huami Technology has confirmed that it will announce Smart Sports Watch 3, successor of last year’s model in China on August 27th.
Huami’s CEO Huang Wang confirmed the name of the smartwatch after the company posted ‘Run, Amazfit! Run!’ invite, inspired from ‘Run, Forrest! Run!’ from the movie Forrest Gump. The company also sent invites to the media with running shoes and running tees.
Huami’s VP last week posted the official image of the smartwatch that looks heavily inspired to the Apple Watch with a curved screen.
He also added that the Amazfit smartwatch will feature 341 PPI AMOLED screen, compared to the 326 PPI on all the Apple Watch models, and also that it will be cheaper than the Apple Watch Series 4. Though, the ECG and Fall detection features haven’t been revealed yet which can be a major features when compared to the Apple Watch Series 4.
The Amazfit Smart Sports Watch 2, last year won reddot design award 2018 and Good Design Award 2018, making it one of the popular smartwatches. Hopefully the successor can stand firm on those awards and get even more awards for it’s design.
The Amazfit Smart Sports Watch 3 will likely come with improved internals including a faster processor, Bluetooth 5.0, 5ATM (50m) water resistance, and probably a bigger battery for improved battery life.
Even before the launch of the watch there is quite a hype built around it, we should know all the details once it goes official next Tuesday.
