Huami Launches New Amazfit Health Band 1S With Advanced Heart Monitoring

Biometric data company Huami has released two new wearables with AI capabilities that can track athletic activity and monitor heart activity. The new devices became available in China this week and will ship internationally later in 2018.

The Amazfit Verge smartwatch has built-in GPS, sleep tracking, and custom algorithms to identify 10 different sports. The second of the two releases, the Amazfit Health Band 1S, has the more unique capability. Its predecessor, which was released in April 2017, was touted as the first wrist-worn ECG tracker to track heart rate and heart-rate variability. HRV is an increasingly important metric in fitness.
