Features Fitness and Sleep Tracking, Heart Rate Monitoring, 11-Day Battery Life, Wi-Fi, GPS, Elevation Tracking And Onboard Music Storage For Phone-Free Running
Amazfit announced PACE, a GPS-enabled runners smartwatch with up to 11 days of battery life. The $129 budget-priced, yet feature packed sport watch provides 2.4 GB of onboard media storage, heart rate monitoring and notifications, along with phone-free running.
With PACE you can leave your smartphone at home while running, because it can accept calls, messages, and emails via the always-on display. When running it tracks essential metrics like pace, cadence, distance, time, heart rate and more. All running data can be synced and available in the Strava app.
The launch of Amazfit PACE marks the company’s third affordable wearable product release within three months. PACE joins Amazfit ARC ($49.99), a heart rate, activity and sleep tracker with a 20-day battery life. Also, shipping are the $80 ceramic-based Moonbeam and Equator, which claim to be the slimmest and most lightweight activity trackers on the market today.
