Smart Fitness Upgrade of 2025: Ditch Garmin for This Innovative Wearable Duo
Dive into the world of fitness tracking with the Amazfit Balance 2 and Helio Strap, a two-piece system that's sure to leave competitors like Garmin, WHOOP, Oura Ring, and Apple Watch Series 10 sweating!
The Amazfit Balance 2, a top-tier multisport watch, boasts an AMOLED screen, sapphire crystal glass, and free offline maps. With over 170 sport modes, including trio of HYROX training modes, it's the first Amazfit to offer in-round golf tools and diving features (freediving and scuba up to 45m). And with the onboard BioCharge Score, it's like having a smarter Body Battery to track your energy levels in real-time.
But the fun doesn't stop there—pair the Balance 2 with the new Helio Strap, a screen-free wristband that monitors heart rate, sleep, recovery, and stress. Unlike the Amazfit Helio Ring, the band is designed for all-day wear, even during workouts and overnight. No screen fatigue here!
When synced via the Zepp App, these two powerhouses form a complete fitness ecosystem, with data cross-referenced to improve training load insights, fatigue assessment, and recovery metrics, all without needing a subscription.
If theBalancer MG and Oura Ring 4, along with the Apple Watch Series 10, have you splurging, think again—the Balance 2 retails for $299.99 / £299.90, while the Helio Strap comes in at $99.99 / £99.90. You can also buy the bundle for $379.99.
Stay tuned for our hands-on testing—this might just be the most complete hybrid fitness platform of the year!
