New Amazfit Helio Armband launches in more countries

Amazfit has released the Helio Armband in more countries. This accessory for the Helio Strap launched in the US and the UK earlier in August 2025, where it was briefly sold under the slightly different name of Helio Arm Band.

Now, in countries like Spain, France and Germany, you can pre-order the Helio Armband for €14.90. The accessory is only available at the brand’s online store; it is not yet sold at Amazon, where the Helio Strap retails for €99.90. The product listing advises customers that it will ship before the end of August 2025. It is also worth noting that the Helio Armband is currently sold out in the US.

The Amazfit Helio Armband allows users of the Helio Strap to wear the fitness tracker on their upper arm rather than on their wrist. The company suggests that there are a couple of benefits to this. Firstly, Amazfit says that placing the BioTracker sensor closer to your heart should deliver ‘pro level accuracy’, with reduced interference from wrist movements. Plus, wearing the device on the upper arm could be more comfortable.

Amazfit’s Helio Armband is 22 mm (~0.9 inches wide), made from a quick-drying nylon material. The black adjustable strap is said to fit arms with a circumference between 9.8 and 16.1 inches (~250 and 410 mm). Plus, it appears to be relatively easy to move the sensor between the arm and wrist straps, clicking into place in the holder on each accessory. Whether or when other colorways of the Helio Strap and Armband could arrive is unclear.
