  • The Amazfit Helio Ring is rated at 10 ATM water resistance, meaning it can handle surface swimming and snorkeling, but not scuba diving. In practical terms, it's safe for most daily water exposure, including showers, workouts, and casual swims.

The Amazfit Helio Ring, reviewed by TechRadar, is positioned as a more affordable alternative to the Oura Ring, particularly for those prioritizing sleep tracking. Priced at $299, it offers a sleek design with a titanium alloy body and a durable coating, making it both stylish and robust. The ring tracks sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and physical activities, syncing this data to the Zepp app for analysis. While it provides detailed sleep insights, including sleep stages and recovery metrics, it lacks some of the advanced features found in the Oura Ring like stress monitoring or a subscription model for additional insights. The battery life is commendable, lasting up to four days with regular use, and it supports NFC payments. However, its app experience and data presentation are not as polished or user-friendly as Oura's, and it doesn't offer the same level of integration with other health platforms. Overall, the Helio Ring is recommended for those looking to focus on sleep without the extra cost, though it might not satisfy users seeking a comprehensive health ecosystem.
