Tracking information like movement, steps and heart rate are all part of the quantified self movement which is gaining in popularity. This is an area we firmly believe will fundamentally change the way we live in the next few years. It will push the boundaries of what it means to be human, more so than at any other point in human history to date. And we want to be in it for the ride, even if we only play a microscopic role in doing so.

Amazfit Helio smart ring review: Fitness tracking from your finger
Smart rings have always intrigued me, promising a discreet and comfortable way to track health and fitness metrics without the bulk of a traditional smartwatch. Over the past few years I have tested a variety of options, eager to find one that strikes the perfect balance between functionality, design, and price.
Now, a major player in the smartwatch world has entered the smart ring arena. Zepp Health, known for its popular line of Amazfit smartwatches, has released the $299 Helio Ring, its first foray in this space. As a longtime fan of the company’s products, I was eager to test out the product.
Zepp Health promises that the Helio will offer insights that can help users improve their health habits by tracking a variety of metrics including heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep patterns, and activity. And I must say, it doesn’t disappoint.
Here is my review after about two weeks of testing, and let me just say that its exercise tracking features are what really set this ring apart. Let’s dive straight in.

Is that feature always working for you? I bought balance yesterday and it keeps crashing. So it works fine and then suddenly I am getting "sorry I can't understand you" for hours before the feature is back and working again. So frustrating.
we need your products in the US retail stores
The feature is not present in vinu3 like in the screenshot, it looks very nice.
Nothing watch pro 1 was a disaster. Nothing worked. Nothing was fixed. Go look at their own webpage forums and see all the comments and complaints, none of which Nothing addressed. They treated their customers as beta testers who paid for the product. Don’t waste your time
I'm hyped
Bruvski same
What is the expected price
Probably around $50
I have the gen 5 and this is news to me :l
Nice review. Though I was left hoping for a side by side table with all featured compared. (Prices included)
They track pretty much the same things. As far as price, RingConn is $279, Helio $299.
People have also been wanting Fenix with AMOLED and they don't understand that Epix is that. So my bet would be Epix is dead, long live AMOLED Fenix and MIP Enduro.
can i use the straps of "mi band 8" on "mi band 8 pro" ? are those straps interchangeable ?
They are both very light overall.
no attractive upgrade
Hello! Is it possible with the Garmin Vivoactive 5 to get the ECG? Thanks!
No, it doesnt have the sensor.
@@gadgetswearables thank you! Does it exist an external device to connect to Garmin Connect so I can get tge funztionality ECG?
@@fabriziogastaldo3270 Lots of external devices that can take ecg - but none sync with Garmin Connect.
Amoled turns Fenix into Epix. There is no point in Fenix with Amoled screen.
I couldn’t agree more. Especially since the Tactix Delta provides ultra reliable and consistent performance and it’s the 2019 hardware and sensors. I dumped the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in favor of the Tactix Delta. I have 0 expectations for future Garmin gear, because the current experience is mindblowing.
Looks like an Apple Watch, kind off
Do you know if it works on Garmin?
WTF SHITE VID WE WANT THE ACTUAL DEVICE VID
I can't post actual pics (there is no video of the device yet) because Garmin will take this video down due to copyright. Do a simple Google search and you can see pics posted.
@@gadgetswearablesI appreciate the info. You can't please everybody. Thank you!
Thanks! :)
Good information - Thanks

Amazfit band 7 is able to connect to an external heart rate strap?
I've held out for a fully year for the Instinct 3 and so closecat many times to buying the Instinct 2 instead my chappy Withings Scanwatch...I can wait longer...I guess
You are not alone... i am stuck with the vivoactive 3 since year 2020, i want more accuracy on my cycling climbs and calories tracking, better sleep tracking, cardio monitoring, and longer battery life... Really tempted to buy the instinct 2 but i want multi band GPS wich should come in instinct 3 i hope
Can’t I update the watchos11 beta without updating my iPhone to ios18 beta?
Thanks
gracias por esta info tan valiosa, Thanks for this great info, updated but to nov 2023 lol !
I have the ringconn, so far works great.
I miss the Old view - too much hop - scotching around to see what was on one page - only using Garmin to record my activities and upload to Strava now -
😅🎉❤
wait for instinct 3
Same!
Holding out for Instinct 3 with maps of some sort.
Yeah, like just a blank map with symbols that represents points of interests when zoomed in, or cities when zoomed out
More display on screen is useless if I need reading glasses when running.... so slide move from screen to screen with larger fonts would help this old fart ! ! ! 🤣
This doesnt work anymore! Fitbit has partnered with Google. and even when you export the data it gives an error due to date format being wrong for Garmin! and cant change the date formate its year-day-month garmin needs year-month-day. Also exporting from "Fit"(Google) doesn't work eaither.
Thank you so much for this!!! 🤌
Keep it the same but with improved GPS, brighter flashlight, multicolor flashlight blue, red, Green, offline music storage, keyboard using the buttons for custom messages, slow but worth it, and lastly 4G, 5G, LTE connectivity option
Hate the new version.... This didn't work for me!....
will this detect a heart attack?
For runners take fit 3 as it has built in gps ,band 9 depends on phone gps which requires your phone in running
Awesome - I looked for a hack for this for ages before finding this clip. Thank-you!
Does this support for fenix lineup too?
Yes
@@gadgetswearables What about the Epix Pro?
I personaly hate the new Garmin connect, tried it in beta and gave feedback. Went back to the previous as the beta was not what I liked. Its so bad I quit useing it at the gym anymore. Just no motivation for the poor layout. I now feel my Epix is no better than a cheap timex since I stopped using the connect App. I am still happy with Garmin golf and the club sensors. Hope they dont mess that up also. Was going to purchase the R10 but now on hold to see if Garmin makes a mends with the many who hate 5.0. Crazy there is no response from them.
If any newbies like me are watching this, this only appears after 14 logged recoveries.
Thankyou for that
It's a very bad downgrade!
I already knew roughly what to do but the video ensured I did it right. Works fine in the UK.
What the fck Garmin... It is the worst software update in history.
You need to update the video title to ‘Google’
I'm getting ringconn.
Completely and utterly useless garbage of the desktop site. Lost all my maticululous customisation that I've done with cards.
If the instinct 3 has music capabilities I'm sold instantly
I called customer service to express my disappointment and the guy got super defensive-almost as if he made the change himself. They are in damage control mode. Its an absolute shit show at Garmin right now.
Thanks for an honest review. This is the only video I've found thus far that shares these concerns. Longtime athlete here, Garmin since 2010. This video and customer posts on the Garmin Android / IOS forums, Reddit, X aka Twitter, Meta aka Facebook, Instagram, blogs are all saying why the 5.0 design fails and the previous 4.77.1 is better. Garmin went all in on this change announcing at CES early in the year. Imagine there's a good deal of saving face going on here.
