How to celebrate the news that we gave you at the beginning of the week, the one concerning the world record of Xiaomi in the wearables market, if not telling you that the known sub-brand that is part ofXiaomi ecosystem that is Huami, joined Timex to create one new generation of smartwatch? That's right: a collaboration was born between the two giants that will give light to a whole new category of wearables destined to revolutionize this expanding world.
With Huami and Timex a new generation of smartwatch is born
The Chinese giant smatwatch maker has found remarkable success with its current line of devices that includes Amazfit Bip e Amazfit Stratos. A few months ago Huami he had announced he had started the development of a software that integrates artificial intelligence for smartwatch: Huangshan No. 1, considered the first smartwatch with artificial intelligence and equipped with a myriad of advanced features. The subject we are talking about is equipped with 4 core basic that include a ECG, an ECG Pro, a cardiac biometric engine and a heart rhythm control sensor. It is interesting to note that all these features are also part of Watch Apple 4, which was announced by the big apple last week: it would certainly be a great feat by the Chinese company to be able to imitate Apple's plans for its latest wearable devices, especially after Xiaomi the world supremacy blew him. In addition to this, the company also claims to use architecture RISC-V open source to power the device in question.
If Huami, in fact, succeeded to get everything that promises with Huangshan No. 1, Is not only positive for the Chinese company, but also for users, since currently the market is dominated by heavyweights like Apple and Fitbit. For a new company to be able to beat both these giants in terms of product offer is certainly a big challenge but nothing impossible, given that behind the company there is Xiaomi. This would also mean an attempt to diversification by Xiaomi, which currently offers mid-range devices at very competitive prices.
Returning to Huami and Timex, the union of the strength of the giants will give life to this new generation of smartwatch: Timex from his will put theten-year experience in production of watches aimed at users with a sporty lifestyle, while Huami will put into play its new software on which the artificial intelligence chip is based that we have described earlier. Chinese society has issued an official press release regarding his partnership with Timex and he would have said that the two "will develop a new generation of smartwatches that guarantee performance, style, excellence and price": we can therefore rest assured about prices, they will not rise exponentially.
The team could develop multiple smartwatch models at different price points to attract buyers across all segments, said Timex Group president and CEO Tobias Reiss-Schmidt. "Together with Huami, we will carry forward a new generation of smartwatches destined to destroy the existing category. We will provide users of smart wearable devices with convenient access to data, and connections to the world around them "
It's still early to say when the smartwatch that will unite it will come out Timex hand and Huami's brain. Considering the fact that Huami hinted that his device would be released for the beginning of 2019, we could see the output soon ... but who knows. Even the price is uncertain, but Timex could give smartwatches a very advantageous price as it does not have to spend a lot on research and development. Finally, we know that the new devices will be destined not only for the Chinese market, but also for the US and British markets.
