Rare combination: a bright always-on AMOLED display and 14 days of typical use without charging.
Medical-grade ECG and bioelectrical impedance body fat analysis — features usually found only on watches costing $100–$200 more.
Zepp Coach uses Amazfit's AI to build personalised workout plans, recovery recommendations, and stress management guidance.
Full ECG, electrodermal activity stress sensing, SpO2, and continuous heart rate in a tracker thinner than most smartwatches.
Google Maps navigation, Google Wallet NFC payments, and YouTube Music controls — more useful on-device apps than any previous Charge.
7 days of typical use, dropping to around 30 minutes per GPS workout session before needing a charge.
