Fitness bands and smartwatches are something we have slowly started to adopt and have felt the need of. There were smartwatches in the Nepali market for past few years but due to their high prices, they didn’t saw the light of day. Now more than smartwatches, we have shifted towards fitness bands. They are both cheaper and does most of the things what a pricy smartwatch does. Xiaomi has introduced both iterations of Mi Band and they did pretty good with Nepali consumers. Now they have introduced 3 more fitness bands namely: Mi AMAZFIT Bip Lite, Mi ARC AMAZFIT, and Mi AMAZFIT.

Xiaomi Amazfit BIP Lite

Amazfit BIP Lite is the only modern looking band among the bunch. Aesthetics wise, it looks like the lovechild of a Pebble watch and the Apple Watch. Sadly it doesn’t hold a build like them. Being a fitness band it has to be lite, hence, a plastic body with the weight of 32grams with its thick rubber bands. Up front, the bezels are huge with Amazfit branding covering a quarter of the area. Then comes the display of 1.28inches protected with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The watch is IP68 dust and water resistant.

With 190mAh lithium polymer battery, Xiaomi promises a battery life of up to 45days on a single charge. This includes 45 days (running weekly, half an hour; Notify 100 per day; screen brightness 10%) and Standby of 4 months with time display, motion detection, PSG

Mi AMAZFIT Health Band

Huami announced Amazfit Health Band Nepal

Mi Amazfit Health Band resembles the Arc Amazfit but has colored bottom panel. The band is made out of aluminum and stainless steel. It also has the same 0.42 LED display. It is also IP67 Water and Dust Resistant. As the name suggests, it has more integrated features which make it health oriented. While the other fitness bands come with PPG heart rate sensor, the Amazfit Health band comes with an ECG Chip. Now what differentiates PPG from ECG is, the ECG is a medical grade sensor which is much more accurate, can track, predict and warn any possible illness. The band can also recommend users if they should rest or continue exercising. Use of the ECG chip does make it expensive than the bunch but it would definitely be worth it for those who want to check their heart conditions at check. It comes with 95mAh battery which will last for a week.
