CES2024 has delivered a lot of exciting product launches already, but for us,Amazfit’s Helio Ring announcementwas one of the most memorable ones, not least because it was completely unexpected. More information about the soon-to-be-launchedsmart ringemerged since the initial social posts appeared only, including specs, more pictures, and additional details on availability.
The newsmart ringjoins the ranks of the Oura Ring, theUltrahuman Ring Air, and theRingConn Smart Ring, not to mention all the upcoming (often only existing on a rumour level) finger wearables, such as theApple Smart Ring(which should be calledAppleiRing, really) and theSamsung Galaxy Ring.
We already know the Amazfit Helio Ring is made from skin-friendly titanium alloy and weighs only 3.8 grams (size 10). The ring is water resistant to up to 10 ATM and provides advanced sleep, recovery and training support via its Zepp Aura AI smart assistant.

In terms of recovery assistance, the Amazfit Helio Ring can monitor sleep quality and four sleep stages (light, deep, REM, awake time), plus sleep-breathing quality. It provides a Readiness score, which summarises ‘your mental and physical recovery’ every morning.
The ring has an EDA (Electrodermal Activity) sensor that tracks physical indicators like sweat from your hands, which may signify an emotional stressor on the body. Amazfit says EDA functionality won’t be available at launch and will be added later via software update.
Current testing suggests that the Amazfit Helio Ring will last up to five days on one charge, but the brand adds that they are ‘awaiting final testing results’, which means this could change before launch.
Sadly, Amazfit says the price will only be announced when the product goes on sale, which is currently expected in March 2024. For more information, visitAmazfit’s Helio Ring page.
