No visible screen, no buttons, not even a buckle. Yet, it monitors health, tracks physical activity and integrates a complete operating system. The new Amazfit Helio Strap defies expectations and presents itself as a wearable that doesn't want to look like one. Here's what's behind this unconventional design, just like thering bearing the same name.
Amazfit Helio Strap: No Screen or Buttons, But It Does a Lot
The new Amazfit Helio Strap is anything but conventional. The leaked images from Zepp software (and disclosed by colleagues of AndroidTR) reveal a device that has chosen a totally different path compared to classic smartwatches. Nothing clock face, nothing buttons, nothing indicators visible. Only an elastic textile net, with an almost anonymous appearance, which at first glance does not betray in any way its smart nature.
The display is there, but you can't see it. It's a 460×460 pixel screen completely hidden under the fabric. No windows, no cutouts: it only turns on when needed. A solution that not only protects the screen and improves aesthetics, but also offers a significant advantage in terms of energy saving.
THEno moving parts like buckles or metal closures is another non-random detail. The Amazfit Helio Strap is presented as a single block, designed to be worn with the same naturalness as a simple sports bracelet. A choice that suggests a new direction in wearable design, where technology is incorporated into the fabric itself, without interruptions or distractions.
The device is part of Amazfit's "Youth" line, a range designed for those seeking simplicity, lightness and accessibility. From a technical point of view, the Amazfit Helio Strap It goes straight to health and activity monitoring. There are no classic smartwatch functions like calls, NFC payments or multimedia management. And it's not a limit, but a precise choice: Helio wants to be useful, not intrusive.
There is no word on the price or release date, but we may find out more soon.
