History

In 2016, the first smartwatch of Amazfit was introduced.[11] In April 2017, it launched the Amazfit Health Band.[12]

A self-developed chipset called the "Huangshan-1" [13] was exhibited at Mobile World Congress and applied to Amazfit devices in 2019.[14]

In July 2019, the lens of the photoelectric module of an Amazfit smartwatch dislodged, causing a user's skin to be burned.[15]

After the launch of Amazfit GTR series smartwatches, some problems were revealed, such as the screen was easy to be scratched and the positioning was severely shifted, which affected the usage.[16]

In April 2020, its parent company partnered with a laboratory led by Zhong Nanshan[17] to use wearable devices to track respiratory diseases.[18]
