Amazfit Helio Strap Fitness Tracker Wristband, 24/7 Activity & Sleep Tracker with Heart Rate, 10 Days Battery, 50+ Sports Modes, Strength Training, Hyrox Race, Subscription Free for Android & iPhone

I have recently bought into the Amazfit/Zepp system having been a Fitbit user for many years, and I have to say currently I am impressed. General wear : I couple this Helio band with a T-Rex 3 watch, depending on the activity I am doing. The Band is great for just day to day wear when you want something vaguely unobtrusive and don't need the screen or notifications continually buzzing. I am a bit of a watch lover, so being able to wear it as well as a normally watch is a huge bonus ( and it doesn't look like i am being weird and wearing 2 watches ). It is really light, but I would say that having reasonable sized wrists the band could be a bit longer as there isn't much overlap ( see picture, apologies for the quality ), but it still fits, does up and is really comfy. Performance : I ran this alongside my Fitbit for a week, so that I could judge what the differences were likely to be. First thing that struck me was how close the data was to each other, but I was super impressed with the extra info that this provides over and above the Fitbit. The Sleep data is comprehensive and covers all the relevant things you might need to know, steps seems to be pretty good, although is much better at filtering out the "white noise" that can be detected as steps by some other devices, heart rate is pretty much exactly right, blood oxygen readings are a bit more random, but I would expect that really and is only a guide ( having recently had Pneumonia this has been quite an important reading for me ). But the thing I am currently most impressed with is the general workout tracking. Both this and the T-Rex have similar set ups, and picking the right workout is key to getting the right information. There are a huge amount to choose from, and I would highly recommend choosing. The Auto function for me is too random, and picks up things that aren't workouts, so I have both devices set to manual selection rather than auto detect. Once selected the system runs throughout and records everything you would need to know accurately and comprehensively. The recovery info is great, and gives a real insight to how hard or not you are training. The battery life has surprised me. a week of full use dropped the battery to 65%. I guess that a large chunk of the life comes form the fact you aren't running a screen or GPS form the devices ( only through the app, which does work nicely ), but even with tracking on it doesn't seem to use a massive amount of battery compared to other devices. Overall then, subtle looks, loads of features and a seemingly supernatural battery life, for no subscription charges. Whats not to like ? The best part for me though is that all of this info comes at a low up front cost and zero monthly subscription.

I can’t fault this device , tested it at Muay Thai , running , swimming , even scuba dived to 15 meters with no issues. Fairly accurate readings and tracking , it’s not a medical tracker. App is very user friendly and is updated regularly

Okay, here are my two cents. I will start with the pros. - overall pretty comfy and battery lasts around 7 days. - First thing is it's a good tracker. I think sleep tracking has been accurate. Heart rate is good, blood oxygen level, HRV, so you get a lot of the stuff, and I think it's been pretty good. - The food tracking is quite good. You can take pictures and scan labels. That's been very good for tracking your calories. - I quite enjoy tracking workouts as well, so it has loads of different modes where you can track your activity and exertion levels, so that's good. - Overall, that exertion mode gives you a realistic, good idea of how you are exercising and performing. Cons - Bio charge scores and sleep scores are not that helpful. Apple health could give me 100 but helio would be 80. Bio charge also a bit pointless imo. The optimal standard set is a bit too lofty. - You have to start and end workouts. Automatic detection is not good apart from walking or running. Once you do start the workout, the data is much better. - Insights are not as good, it can give you a crap score but not much of an explanation If you are looking to explore wearables, this is a great place to start. I’ve improved consumption and sleep from this device. And for the price, it is really good

I'm geeky enough that I like to know things such as how far I've walked today, and whether my sleep was good enough or not. But I really don't want to wear a screen on my wrist* - I have enough screens in my life that I don't need another one on my wrist repeating all the information that the others can give me. For a long time, I wore a Whoop, because it was the only screen-less tracker out there - but, brilliant as Whoop is, it's also expensive for the mortals among us. It's designed more for the pro-athlete, the uber-healthy, and the uber-wealthy. Then, last year, Amazfit decided to release a direct Whoop-competitor - the Helio Strap. It's £99 (one-off fee) versus Whoop's £199-£350 per year subscription costs (price varies based on which level of app access you want) and, in my opinion, the Helio Strap is every bit of a match for the Whoop in terms of comfort, fit, and data presented. All fitness apps have a variation of the same theme - they give you a score for your sleep, a score for your exertion, and a score for how you're feeling today. For Amazfit (confusingly, their app is called the Zepp app) your overall score is wrapped up in what they call Biocharge. (Garmin call it Biobattery, Whoop call it Recovery and so on.) Biocharge is an amalgamation of all your other scores and you start the day with a score out of 100 and it depletes as the day goes on, depending on how energetic you are; it is also affected by Heart Rate Value (HRV affects quality of sleep) and can also be an indicator of if you're starting to come down with a bug. (Sidenote, it's also really obvious to tell if you were drinking the night before because boy, does that hammer your HRV and therefore your Biocharge.) You can use the Zepp app and your Helio strap to track exercise and other activities - I run, swim, and cycle and you just use the app to start tracking and the phone does the GPS work while the strap feeds back your exertion, heart rate, and so on. Or, you can pair it with one of Amazfit's brilliant watches for when you are doing exercise (which is what I do - I know, *I don't wear a screen on my wrist other than when I'm running or cycling...) and the watch and the strap will work in sync and then update the Zepp app afterwards. You don't even have to have your phone with you, if you're crazy and like to go running without it. It tracks your sleep well too and, while there's no subscription needed for the Helio Strap, you can opt to subscribe to their Aura package for more detailed sleep analysis for £79 a year. This is still cheaper than Whoop's basic annual subscription. When I bought my Helio, Amazfit offered me the Aura sub for £29 so I gave it a go - I cannot quite see what it's giving me over the basic stats it gives me anyway so I probably won't renew if they choose to charge £79 at the end of the year. Overall, if you - like me - don't like wearing a screen-based device on your wrist but do want some form of tracking, I think this product is fantastic. It does everything you need from a fitness tracker without being intrusive; the black strap is stylish enough to not look silly on your wrist and, while Amazfit have not yet got round to offering alternative strap colours on their online shop, there are plenty of other choices available online.

OK but could be so much better. Great idea but not very accurate, auto workout is far too sensitive on standard every time I walk somewhere it notifies me of a workout. Biocharge is so random, don't sleep enough marks you down, sleep more than 8 hours if you are actually tired it also gives a low recharge score. Calorie tracking is useless (one I meal know is 420cals the band was rating at 750?) & no way to link up with a decent nutrition logging app's. Stress tracking is disjointed & does not work on high levels. Still cannot get a VO2 max reading Im sure a good update could solve the issues but as it stands the data needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Battery life is good It is OK as cheapish basic tracker just not very accurate. Whoop have got nothing to worry about at the moment

The Helio Strap has slipped onto my admittedly bony Mancunian wrist without any fuss. It is a slim, screen-free band that spends every hour quietly funnelling heart rate, SpO₂, stress and sleep figures into the Zepp app. When I remember to fasten my creaking old Amazfit watch as well, the two pieces of kit swap numbers without complaint; when I forget the watch in the scramble to find nursery shoes, the strap behaves perfectly well on its own. Amazfit reckons the battery will last ten days. In real life I have been getting a shade over eight, which feels fair enough considering it is logging every heartbeat and enduring a couple of sweat-drenched gym sessions each week. I like the Strength mode: it counts reps and rest periods more accurately than I manage with my fogged-up glasses. There is even a HYROX setting for proper athletes, although my ambitions rarely stretch beyond Parkrun. Automatic workout detection can be a touch jumpy, once awarding me five active minutes for waddling from sofa to fridge, but a quick dive into the settings soon calms it down. No subscription fees, a feather-light build, reliable sensors and neat links to Strava and TrainingPeaks make the Helio good value. Just remember you are stuck with a single strap colour, and be prepared for the occasional false alarm when you wander round the kitchen. For steady training in soggy Manchester it gives me plenty of data without weighing me down or draining my bank account.

As a previous Garmin user for many years I can tell you straight that this thing is beyond terrible. it is incapable of recording sleep correctly showing long gaps when it thinks I'm awake and despite setting a sleep schedule of 21:30 to 07:00 7 days a week it consistently still only starts recording at midnight. Additionally it thinks I am awake for long periods when it is recording when I know I was sleeping . I have followed all advice and tightened the strap, worn it on both wrists and even tried a bicep strap it makes no difference. I have no tattoos as I read this can be a problem as well. I am an ex Garmin user and I only switched because I don't like smart watches and fancied the ideas of a more analogue 2026 but still want a health and fitness tracker. The sleep tracking on the Garmin is excellent and gets it spot on every night. without me having to tighten it so it nearly cuts off my circulation. Terrible effort from Amazfit, I will be requesting a refund on this bit of garbage!

I looked at various health bands, Hume, Whoop ect, and finally opted for the Helio band. A few reasons I made my decision No subscription like others definitely a plus. Price of the band compared to others. Functionality of what it can do and it does almost the things I need it to do,sleep,heart health,exertion,training,foid and calories. This is an excellent health band and fir what I paid £99 well most others that doesn't even cover the subscription charges. The band itself is so comfortable the one that came supplied, it stretches over your hand so no need to keep undoing,and the device is neat and nimble not to small or big. The band connects straight to the Zepp app you download to use on phone via Bluetooth and it is so self explanatory and easy to us. Love this band so much I ditched my Samsung Ultra watch and purchased the Amazfit T Rex Pro 3 to compliment my Helio band.

تجربتي معها جدا ممتازة، البرنامج مجاني، الدقة عالية، البطارية معقولة..

Fantastic product. Comfortable, tracks everything. App is amazing. Track your food calories. Love this product.

Sleep Tracking: The sleep tracking feature is exceptionally accurate. It not only tracks my night sleep precisely but also detects short naps during the day, which most trackers tend to miss. Temperature Monitoring: The temperature tracking works surprisingly well and gives consistent readings. It’s a subtle but valuable feature that adds to overall health insights. Heart Rate Tracking: I didn’t have another device to cross-check the heart rate accuracy, but based on my experience and other users’ reviews, it seems reliable and stable during different activities. Workout Detection: This is where the Helio Strap truly shines. I just start the workout mode before training, and it automatically detects the workout type — whether it’s arms, shoulders, or legs — with remarkable accuracy. Out of more than a month of use, it has only misidentified my workout twice, which is impressive for a strap at this price. Battery Life: The battery life is excellent. It easily lasts long enough to forget about daily charging — another big plus. Overall Verdict: Considering its features, performance, and accuracy, the Amazfit Helio Strap offers incredible value for money. You’re genuinely getting far more than what you pay for, especially compared to other fitness bands in the same category.

Hij meet de verschillende waarden vrij zuiver . Compliment! Het is net een smartwatch maar dan zonder scherm. Als je bijvoorbeeld alleen met een mechanische watch wilt lopen kan je toch beschikken over de gezondheidsredenen van deze smart and.

J’utilise l’Amazfit Helio Strap principalement pour le suivi sportif et la récupération au quotidien. Le concept sans écran est assez agréable : on le porte facilement toute la journée sans être dérangé par des notifications permanentes. Le bracelet est léger et confortable, surtout pour dormir ou pendant le sport. Le suivi du sommeil et de la fréquence cardiaque est détaillé et l’application Zepp donne beaucoup d’informations utiles sur la récupération, le stress et la charge d’entraînement. L’autonomie est aussi un vrai point fort avec plusieurs jours d’utilisation sans recharge. J’apprécie également le fait qu’il n’y ait pas d’abonnement obligatoire contrairement à certains concurrents comme Whoop. Pour quelqu’un qui veut suivre ses données sportives sans payer chaque mois, c’est une alternative intéressante. En revanche, tout n’est pas parfait. La détection automatique des entraînements manque parfois de fiabilité et il vaut mieux lancer certaines activités manuellement dans l’application pour avoir un suivi correct. Le suivi cardio reste bon pour une utilisation classique, mais comme beaucoup de capteurs optiques, il peut être un peu moins précis pendant les entraînements très intenses. Pour des mesures ultra précises, une ceinture cardio reste meilleure. Au final, je trouve que c’est un très bon bracelet pour le suivi récupération/sommeil et le sport au quotidien, surtout pour son prix et l’absence d’abonnement. Il conviendra davantage aux sportifs réguliers qu’aux utilisateurs cherchant une vraie smartwatch complète avec écran.
