Designed for [HYROX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/competition-gear) and hybrid training athletes, the system captures core movement and stability alongside cardiovascular effort, offering a more complete performance picture than wrist-based tracking alone. Compatible with the Amazfit Balance 3 and [Balance Ultra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazfit-balance-ultra) smartwatches, the Helio Strap Pro tracks performance across all eight HYROX competition movements, including SkiErg, sled push and wall balls, and syncs data with the Zepp App for post-workout analysis. The screen-free waist sensor offers up to 40 days of battery life and can operate independently of a smartwatch. The full system launches in late June 2026 for $199.99. Amazfit shows how wearable technology is evolving beyond heart rate monitoring to capture a broader range of movement and performance data for serious athletes.
