Amazfit Verge is Huami’s latest flagship smartwatch featuring voice assistance (Xiao AI), the ability to make phone calls through the watch (via Bluetooth connection to a cell phone), a bright 1.3-inch AMOLED display, 5 days of battery life, GPS + GLONASS, the ability to track more than 10 different sports including running, cycling, tennis, soccer, skiing and more, as well as daily activity (steps, calories, distance) and detailed sleep tracking (light sleep, deep sleep, awake phases and total sleep duration). Other included features and apps are smart home controls, a five day weather forecast, on-board music for phone-free exercise, smart notifications for emails, text messages, calendar alerts and all other apps, a timer, stopwatch, alarms and compass. An integrated NFC (near-field communication) chip allows for payments via AliPay and UnionPay and bus ticket capability in over 165 cities.

Building on Huami’s April 2017 debut of the world's first ever wrist-worn ECG measuring device sold directly to consumers, the second edition Amazfit Health Band 1S can screen the heart rhythm in the background 24/7 and sends an alert if it detects irregularities that appear to be atrial fibrillation (AFib). This is then followed by a suggestion on the wrist band to start a 30-120s electrocardiography (ECG) recording process to provide an even more detailed heart health analysis. The user can also request a personal analysis of their ECG data conducted by Huami-certificated medical experts via a subscription fee.
