We've seen watches from Amazfit before and they have always had high-quality design and materials. The Zepp E Square, also available in a Circle form factor, switches the brand naming and offers a compelling activity and health tracking wearable available for $249.99 on Amazon[1].

Specifications
- Display: 1.65 inch 348x442 pixels resolution AMOLED
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2100
- Water resistance: 5 ATM
- Connectivity and sensors: Bluetooth 5.0 BLE, optical HR, acceleration sensor, geomagnetic sensor, ambient light sensor
- Battery: Up to seven days in typical tracking usage and 15 days in basic watch mode
- Dimensions: 43.3 x 35.7 x 9mm and 36 grams
The Zepp E is available in an assortment of colors with fluoreolastomer, leather, and metal band options. I tested the basic Onyx Black watch with black fluoroelastomer band.
