Chinese smart wearables company Zepp Health is this week bringing its Amazfit Helio Ring to the USA; It was unveiled in January at CES in Las Vegas.

Athletes in the USA will be able to purchase the smart ring either as part of a bundle with the Amazfit Cheetah Pro or T-Rex Ultra smartwatches or as an independent purchase, via the official Amazfit web site. Priced at $300, the ring offers insights into athletic performance and recovery. The initial inventory carries limited sizing with future offers for additional sizing and general availability to other markets to follow soon.

“At Zepp Health, we’re empowering athletes with elite-level performance and recovery analysis right at their fingertips,” said Wayne Huang, CEO of Zepp Health. “With our Zepp app now seamlessly integrating data from both the athlete’s smartwatch and Helio Ring, they will have complete access to all their insights in one place. It’s not just about monitoring, it’s about leveraging every bit of insight to push boundaries, unlock potential and redefine athletic excellence.”

The ring reaches its potential when paired with an Amazfit smartwatch, such as the Cheetah Pro and T-Rex Ultra. The Zepp app seamlessly amalgamates information from the user’s watch and ring, eliminating the need for navigation between multiple applications to access workout and sleep data.

This platform offers athletes a user-friendly option for round-the-clock health and fitness monitoring, merging performance data from their Amazfit smartwatch with recovery insights from the Helio Ring.

As a lightweight wearable worn on the finger, the ring can track recovery. Crafted from skin-friendly titanium alloy, this ring is a more compact and comfortable wearable than a smartwatch to wear while sleeping, and the sensor’s proximity to the user’s pulse enables more accurate health data measurement, resulting in recovery monitoring, analysis and guidance when data are collated in the app.

Recognising the integral role of mind and body in athletic performance, the ring monitors sleep data related to the user’s mental and physical condition, which are translated into an intuitive daily readiness score through the app. This score, along with other recovery metrics, including sleep score, recovery time, sleep heart rate variability and sleep resting heart rate, are collected in the recovery overview in the app.

This addition, conveniently showcased at the top of the app’s homepage, provides users with quick and clear insights into their athletic condition, enabling them to optimise their training and recovery routines.

When paired with the Cheetah Pro and T-Rex Ultra smartwatches, the ring is priced at $150.

The global rollout plan will be announced shortly.
