The Amazfit body composition analysis mat appeared on the company's website at the following address: France and Italy. The device is used exclusively with the new balance introduced last year. However, the terms of purchase of the gadget remain unclear.
The Body Composition Analysis Mat is designed to help you track eight health metrics: body fat, muscle, bone mass, BMI, skeletal muscle, water, protein and basal metabolism. The mat uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology, which sends pulses through your body via the stainless steel electrodes you stand on. While the Balance watch already captures these measurements, Amazfit suggests that the wearable is limited to the upper body and the mat can take measurements from the lower body, which are combined to improve the accuracy of the results.
The results can be viewed in a “mini” analysis application that gives you an overview of your health status. Amazfit states that it is not a medical device and that it cannot be used to diagnose any pathology. The Amazfit mat for body composition analysis costs €39.90. However, the company states that the product is only available through bundle or marketing activities; No further details are provided about these two options. It is also unclear whether the product, designed for use with the Amazfit Balance smartwatch, will be offered in other markets such as North America.
