We have been talking about it for days and days. The new smartwatch from Huami, famous brand to which Xiaomi relies for We Band, has finally become reality. Although the company wanted to keep all the new features hidden wearable super minimal but reminiscent of a rugged, in record times, Chinese users and failed to steal important details in advance. Today, as announced, Amazfit Ares has become reality in China. While waiting to see him also through the official Italian channels, let's get to know him.

We begin to see the design and specifications of the display. This is a 1.28 ″ with transflective paneltherefore, as for the other Huami devices, the visibility under sunlight is insured. The measures are equal to 45.5 x 55.6 x 14 mm for a weight of suns 48 g. The glass panel is covered with a protection Corning Gorilla Glass 3 but the peculiarity lies in the fact that there is also one anti-fingerprint coverage. The body, although octagonal, houses a square-shaped dial: this gives sportiness but still not too much.
By default we will find 8 watchfaces but undoubtedly these will be implemented in the future also through third-party apps. As well as the watchfaces, the sport modes are also decidedly numerous: the company confirms the actual presence of 70 sports activities the first time it is turned on. This means that few more will be added in the future. Recall that currently the maximum number of supported activities are around 90.
