Thinking about getting the Amazfit Helio Strap β need some advice
Hey everyone,
I'm considering buying the Amazfit Helio Strap since it seems like a pretty affordable way to get into fitness and health tracking.
I've never owned a smartwatch or fitness watch before (Garmin, Apple Watch, etc.), but I'd like something that gives me plenty of data about sleep, recovery, training, and overall health.
My main concern is that it doesn't have a screen. I actually like the look of sports watches, so I'm not sure if I'd miss having one.
I'm also wondering about comfort. Is it comfortable enough to wear 24/7 and sleep with? And for those who have tried both, do you prefer wearing it on your wrist or on your bicep?
For someone completely new to this kind of tracking, would you recommend the Helio Strap, or should I save up for a smartwatch instead?
Thanks for any advice! π
