Xiaomi-backed Huami had been teasing the launch of its newest smartwatch, Amazfit Ares, for about a couple of weeks now. Well, if you are looking to pick up an affordable yet rugged smartwatch, then your wait is finally over. Amazfit Ares has gone official in China today with 70 sport modes, heart rate monitoring, 14-day battery life, and a lot more.
Starting off with the design, Amazfit Ares takes a completely different direction from the company’s existing Amazfit T-Rex rugged smartwatch. It has a more boxy, square-ish design with a tiny 1.28-inch color screen in the middle and silicone straps to help you fasten the watch. You will find three buttons on the edges, enabling you to control (go back, up, and down) the watch. There are eight watch faces that come pre-installed with the Amazfit Ares.
Though the company has not shared the exact battery details for the Amazfit Ares, it claims to offer up to 14-days of battery life. This includes continuous heart rate tracking, sleep monitoring, and minimal use of GPS.
Amazfiit Ares has been priced at 499 yuan (around Rs. 5,300 or $70) in China. The smartwatch is available in two colorways – black and army green. It is now up for pre-order and will officially go on sale from 1st June.
