Huami launches second wearable Amazfit, a 'milestone product'

Huami Corp, China's largest and the world's third-largest wearable devices maker, has launched what officials are describing as a totally new design concept in fitness bands.

Huang Wang, its founder and CEO, said he considers the company's new Amazfit band as a milestone product for the firm, which is already closely tied to Xiaomi Corp, the Chinese smartphones and electronics maker, on the development of wearable products.

The Amazfit made its first public appearance this week in Beijing, becoming the company's second fitness tracker, after its Mi band.
