Amazfit Pace GPS Smartwatch Review: Sleek, Attractive, And Great Battery Life

Although the brand isn't very well known here in the U.S., Huami is actually the second largest manufacturer of smart wearables in the world. As such, it was only a matter of time before the Chinese manufacturer, which provides wearable technology to Xiaomi, made its way onto our shores. Huami and Xiaomi established their partnership in 2014 and have since sold over 24 million Mi Bands.
Huami recently purchased Amazfit, an American wearable technology company. Amazfit was launched in 2016 and was quickly scooped up by Huami. They were best known for the Moon Beam and Equator fitness trackers, but Huami and Amazfit together launched the smartwatch we will be looking at today, the Amazfit Pace. The Amazfit Pace was only available in China when it initially launched, but hopped over the pond this past autumn.

The Amazfit Pace weighs in at 1.9 oz (or 54.5 grams) and measures 9.8x1.8x0.5 inches. The watch features a 1.34” always-on transflective color LCD touch screen and supports a resolution of 320 x 300. The watch also incorporates a 1.2 GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of total storage. The Amazfit Pace includes Bluetooth 4.0/BLE, WiFi connectivity, GPS + GLONASS binary positioning, and a Optical (PPG) heart rate sensor.
