Amazfit Ares Features
The watch has a 1.28-inch screen , and its glass has an anti-fingerprint treatment that will prevent marks. The internal 200 mAh battery promises an autonomy of up to 90 days in basic mode without Bluetooth connectivity, although we can also stay in the 13 days if we use it in daily mode or in 23 hours if we make intensive use of it with GPS and other functions . This battery is charged with a wireless charging base.
The display isn’t particularly big, and the surrounding bezels and bezels may catch your eye, but it makes some sense. On the one hand, considering that we are dealing with a rugged device, it is understandable to see a screen that is as protected as possible, and on the other hand, there is the panel technology. We are facing a low-consumption reflective screen that will allow you to visualize your image even in full sun. With these characteristics, we obtain a screen that is perfectly readable in all situations and that also takes care of energy consumption. 
In addition, the watch has a sports analysis algorithm called FirstBeat that is responsible for collecting data from your exercises in order to help in your future sessions to improve exercise and avoid possible injuries.
