There is no doubt that smart accessories are gaining more features that had been left on phones. It is true that many wearables are already capable of making calls and even paying, but this is something that little by little is reaching more devices. Among them is Amazfit Balance, a new smartwatch that stands out for its AI and NFC payment.
The company has put many mobile devices on the market, which have ranged from simpler smartwatches to versions designed for the most adventurous. But this time they present us with an elegant device in design and with improved capabilities.
simple and elegant design
Smart watches are conceived as one more accompanying element for your training sessions. In the same way, its design does not always have to be sporty, but can go through a more elegant accessory that you can wear at any time. This description would fit perfectly with what the Amazfit Balance.
We find that the company has put at the service of users a terminal with a circular crown and hooks in the upper and lower parts thanks to spaces that protrude from the structure. What also sticks out are two buttons that are on the right side of the device. The one at the top is a circular crown and below is a selection button with which navigation on the screen is made easier, which has a AMOLED panel with 1.5-in.
All this is coupled or protected, depending on how you look at it, by a chassis made of aluminum alloy and fiber reinforced polymer on the bottom. Here is a sensor that is the one that will capture a large part of the biometric data that we are going to talk about next.
An AI that teaches you to rest

These include the Force mode where the watch detects up to 25 test exercises, repetitions and muscle group worked.
Of course, it has the typical heart rate monitor and oxygen saturation sensors, but where it has a great novelty is in the sleep section. This is where it comes into play Zepp Aura, an AI that is capable of doing a sleep analysis and that will give you advice to improve it.

Yes, this feature was available in other models of the brand, but it has not been until now when it can be used in our country. The company says that thanks to an agreement with Mastercard you can make contactless payments through the Zepp Pay app.
