Amazfit X Curved smart watch
Update 23. September 2020
The first backers of the Indiegogo campaign received their Amazfit X Smartwatch a few days ago. So is a member of ours Amazfit group on Facebook .
Unfortunately, it is not yet known whether and when the futuristic smartwatch will go on sale. As soon as new information follows, you will find the update in this post!
Crowdfunding in the original sense is actually a financing instrument to support projects without a financial background and thus make them possible. The brave ones who get involved are the so-called “backers”. Crowdfunding platforms such as Indiegogo are now used not only by small startups, but also by companies that do not need such crowdfunding.
Such companies usually use “crowdfunding” as a marketing tool to generate media attention. Why Huami chose Indiegogo is explained at the end of the article Funding page. There the manufacturer explains that before launching on the market they first want to test how successful the product is with bakers. Early birds can “bake” the Amazfit X from 137 euros. Shipping is scheduled for August 2020. Brave ones!?
Curved AMOLED display
What makes the smartwatch so special is the 92-degree, 2.07-inch AMOLED display. The Amazfit X hugs the wrist like a bracelet. The specifications of the curved display are tough. With a point density of 326 PPI, the display is razor-sharp, which is why individual pixels should hardly be visible to the naked eye.
The AMOLED display type ensures particularly strong colors and high contrast. The high display brightness is also particularly interesting. The luminance of 400 nit specified by Huami enables the display to remain legible even outdoors, especially in sunshine.
Pure touch operation
Huami attaches great importance to a “button-free” design for the Amazfit X. So there are no control buttons that could affect the symmetrical design in any way. It is operated purely via the touchscreen of the display and a sensor on the side that detects touch.
Oxygen saturation (SpO2)
Many Amazfit fans have been waiting for this feature. The Amazfit X is able to measure the oxygen content in the blood (SpO2). Measurements are made using the pulse oximetry method, in which light (infrared) illuminates the skin and thus the arterial oxygen saturation is determined. Another health feature is heart rate measurement. For even more precise results, Huami has installed a particularly large PPG sensor. The heart rate can be measured continuously, 24 hours a day.
9 sport modes, PAI and widgets
A total of 9 sports programs are available to sports users. This also includes two swimming programs, because the Amazfit X is waterproof to 50 meters and can remain on the wrist while swimming. Outdoor runners also get their money's worth. GPS and GLONASS ensure that the route is precisely recorded.
PAI stands for Personal Activity Intelligence and is the smart fitness coach that can be found on the smartwatch. PAI creates a personal fitness and health profile from the collected data. Further functions are a sleep monitor, a stress level monitor and a movement reminder. Like all other Amazfit wearables, the Amazfit X is a smartwatch with a proprietary Amazfit OS. The installation of apps is not possible, but users can choose from more than 40 widgets. The Amazfit app serves as the interface for processing and managing the collected data.
7 days battery life
Not only is the display curved, but also the battery. As a result, Huami is able to install a larger battery that can last up to 7 days on average without recharging. The 200 mAh battery is charged via a magnetic 2-pin charging connector. The charging time is approximately 2 hours.
