Sports Watch 3 and Amazfit X Hands-on Photos

The Amazfit Stratos 2 finally got a successor with the launch of the Amazfit Sports Watch 3. The gap between the Sports Watch 2 aka Stratos 2 release and this new model had left some wondering if Huami was going to launch a successor. More so, the company launched the Amazfit Verge last year, deviating completely from the rugged look of the Stratos 2. The Sports Watch 3 finally arrived a few days back with a simple but classy design, putting to rest yearnings for a successor to the popular Stratos.
The design looks like a blend of the Amazfit Pace and Amazfit Stratos 2 designs. It retains the multiple control buttons on the watch 2 but features a plain-looking design of the first-gen Amazfit Watch (Pace). The watch still has a rugged build, though, packing a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top of the 1.34-inch JDI Full-Moon ™ reflective low-power color display.

The watch comes in a Standard version with a stainless steel bezel and quick-release silicone straps and an Elite Edition that is covered with AF + AR coated sapphire glass and a titanium bezel. The Elite edition uses quick-release fluoro-rubber straps. There are four buttons on both versions of the watch.
The Amazfit Sports Watch 3 comes with a retail price of ¥ 1299 (~ $ 181) in China while the Elite Edition is priced at ¥ 1699 (~ $ 237). There is no word yet on the global release.
