We have many fitness bands and smartwatches in the market right now and they all have a single function in common – the ability to measure heart rate. It’s not an uncommon feature nowadays so today, let’s take the Amazfit GT2 as an example.
In concept, it’s not really rocket science, honestly. The green diode shines through your skin and utilizes a technique called photoplethysmography (PPG).
Green light is the best choice since red is reflected whereby blue light needs a lot of power to generate. The green light is absorbed by the blood. So, shining green light into the blood means it will be detected by the sensor. Every pulse of the green light means that the sensor can detect the rate and change of these green light absorption.
Amazfit uses the same technique as well, but the company says it’s using the BioTracker PPG optical sensor for 24-hour uninterrupted heart rate tracking. The sensor will track its data and – of course – be saved inside the Amazfit app.
And you’ll have to set it to automatically detect your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
- Open the Amazfit app
- Tap on profile and then the watch
- Scroll down & tap on “heart rate detection”
- Hit “detection method”
- Choose “automatic heart rate detection”
Once the heart rate detection is set to continuous, it can do a few more things to ensure your heart stays healthy. For example, setting the heart rate alert means the Amazfit smartwatch will alert you if there’s no response in the last 10 minutes.
You can also set a threshold so that once a certain heart rate limit is exceeded, the watch will also vibrate. This is important for those who need to stay below a certain heart rate.
And of course, Amazfit smartwatches offer more than just accurate heart rate detection. Certain Amazfit smartwatches – like the GTS 2 and GTR 2 – also comes with the ability to store 3GB worth of music files in the smartwatch itself. Then you can pair your TWS earbuds to the smartwatch and listen to music. Just leave your phone at home when you go on a jog.
And the Amazfit smartwatches also have 90 built-in sports modes with smart recognition and has GPS to track your jogging route for you.
And since Amazfit smartwatches have a microphone and speaker, you can also do calls via your watch only, without lifting your phone up.
As of now, Amazfit Malaysia is offering a variety of smartwatches and I’m sure there’s going to be one that fits your needs and your budget. Check them out here:
