Huami, the Xiaomi-backed wearable device maker has a popular lineup of smartwatches under the Amazfit brand, which has also established its presence in the United States. Now, the company has launched two more devices in the US — Amazfit Bip U and Bip U Pro.
The Amazfit Bip U, which was first launched a couple of months ago in October, has now been launched in the United States for a price of $59.99. However, the company is currently offering a $10 discount.
It features a 1.43-inch LCD display in a square-shaped dial, which looks similar to the Apple Watch, offering 302 x 302 pixels screen resolution and 2.5D curved glass with an anti-fingerprint coating on top.
The company is offering 50 watch faces, including a few animated ones. However, only four of them are pre-loaded on the device and more can be downloaded by the user through the Zepp application. The smartwatch displays relevant information such as time, weather, and heart rate, with users also being given an option to customize the home screen.
It supports 60 sports modes and packs an optical tracking sensor that can even measure users’ blood oxygen levels during deep sleep, light sleep, REM, and even when awake. It also houses the proprietary BioTracker PPG biological optical sensor and can track menstrual and ovulation periods for female users.
The Amazfit Bip U smartwatch supports Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity and can be used with both the platforms — iOS and Android. It is powered by a 230mAh battery that the company claims can offer nine days of battery life.
On the other hand, the Amazfit Bip U Pro is nothing but a rebranded Amazfit Pop Pro. Almost everything in this Pro variant is similar to the standard variant and the only difference is the addition of GPS and support of Amazon Alexa.
The Amazfit Bip U Pro is priced at $69.99 in the United States, which is a bit more expensive than the Chinese version launched earlier this month for a price of 349 yuan, which is about $52.
