Zepp Health Corporation, a global leader in smart wearables and health technology, has announced the launch of the Amazfit Balance. Created to help people achieve the ultimate balance of life, work, and wellness, the Amazfit Balance takes the baton from the brand's Amazfit GTR and GTS family of smartwatches, building on the cutting-edge technology and features that made those models resonate so powerfully with a global community of users, and empowered by Zepp Health's evolving AI ecosystem to become the new leader of Amazfit's Lifestyle Series.

What's New

·       Mental and physical Readiness analysis and body composition measurement, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of body and mind.

·       AI-powered sleep guidance and relaxation tools are provided by Zepp Aura rest and wellness service.

·       Chat AI fitness and sleep coaching are available for a free trial, prior to subscription.

·       Zepp Pay contactless payment, facilitated by Amazfit partnerships with several Mastercard issuing banks, such as Curve in 31 countries and regions.

·       Enhanced Zepp OS 3.0 with an enriched ecosystem of apps themed around wellness, productivity, and relaxation.

Recognizing that the future of smart wearables lies in AI-driven advancements that empower people to take control of their well-being, Zepp Health brand Amazfit developed the Amazfit Balance with an intensified focus on holistic wellness, incorporating features that deepen understanding of both body and mind. Along with integrating the upgraded dual-LED and 8PDBioTracker 5.0 PPG biometric optical sensor, the Amazfit Balance also introduces functions that assess equally important mental recovery indicators. Among them is the new Readiness feature, which provides a score each morning through which users can understand how specific sleep indicators can affect their mental and physical condition as they pursue the optimal balance of activity and recovery, according to a press release.

Users can also further their Readiness understanding by viewing Readiness insights, which are generated from a Knowledge Base developed by a team of experts, including Dr. Lisa Meltzer - a licensed clinical psychologist who is board-certified in Behavioral Sleep Medicine by the American Board of Sleep Medicine and who has more than 22 years of clinical teaching and research experience in the field of sleep medicine, providing sleep health solutions for individuals, enterprises, and hospitals.

Found in the Zepp App, Zepp Aura also provides detailed sleep reports and expert guidance, along with an AI Sleep Assistant that operates similarly to the recently-introduced Zepp Coach AI Chat feature that will also be available for Amazfit Balance users in select regions to experience in a complimentary trial period. By using the applied Large Language Model (LLM), these chatbots recognize the user's natural language and provide answers to their questions in a detailed yet easy-to-understand manner, with the Zepp Aura AI Wellness Coach focusing on queries related to rest and wellness, and the Zepp AI Fitness Coach focusing on sport and fitness.

The Amazfit Balance also introduces an additional dimension to health data tracking with the new Body Composition measurement feature, which enables users to quickly and easily measure their body fat percentage, skeletal muscle, muscle, water, bone mass, protein, BMI, and Basal Metabolism from their wrist.

Recognizing that a balanced lifestyle is more than just health and fitness, the Amazfit Balance also adds a contactless payment function through its integration of Zepp Pay - which is bolstered by a partnership between Amazfit and Mastercard, a leading global payments technology company, enabling a safe and seamless payment experience.

"We are thrilled to introduce the Amazfit Balance, a smartwatch that seamlessly integrates advanced health, fitness, and lifestyle features to help people find their ideal balance of life, work, and wellness," said Wang Huang, Chairman and CEO of Zepp Health. "With advanced features such as Zepp Pay and Zepp Aura, we are redefining the possibilities of wearable technology. Through our partnerships with Mastercard and Curve, we are excited to bring the Amazfit Balance to an even wider community of people, empowering them to lead healthier and more connected lives."

The Amazfit Balance is now available via the officialAmazfit website, with prices starting from $229.99 USD / €249.90.
