Amazfit releases new Helio Strap accessory in Europe

A new version of the Helio Armband has been released in Europe. The Light Gray/Polyamide & Spandex variant joins the original Black/Nylon version of the accessory (curr. $14.99 at Amazon US). This new accessory was released in the US in March 2026 alongside a third Charcoal Black/Nylon colorway.

The Light Grey Helio Armband features the Amazfit logo in white printed multiple times around the accessory. It is 22 mm (~0.87 inches) wide and 16.14 inches (~410 mm) long, like the black version of the product. According to the brand, it will fit an arm measuring between 10.62 and 16.53 inches (~270 x 420 mm) in diameter.

Benefits of the Helio Armband over the Helio Strap are said to include a more secure fit, particularly during more vigorous workouts, and improved heart rate data measurement accuracy. This is due to the position of the accessory; by wearing the sensor on your upper arm rather than your wrist, it is closer to your heart, and there is reduced interference from things like grip strain or wrist flexion. 

You can now buy the Helio Armband in Light Gray/Polyamide & Spandex in countries like France, Spain and Italy. It is selling at the brand’s official online store for €14.90, the same price as the older black version. At Amazfit’s UK store, the product is listed with a €14.90 RRP, though it is temporarily out of stock. It is unclear when the Charcoal Black/Nylon version of the Helio Armband could become available in Europe. It is worth noting that all three variants of the accessory are currently sold out at the brand’s online store.
