A journey into space that demonstrates the smartwatch's
military-grade toughness and optimized positioning
system.
CUPERTINO, Calif., July 1, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Amazfit, a leading global smart wearables
brand of Zepp Health (NYSE: ZEPP), recently sent its rugged outdoor
GPS smartwatch, the Amazfit T-Rex 2, into space on a quest to prove
its strength in extreme environments. The Amazfit T-Rex 2's space
ride shows the brand leading by example with the spirit of "Up Your
Game", while also fulfilling this watch's promise to inspire users
to "Evolve Your Instinct". Amazfit believes that through the power
of science and technology, there are infinite possibilities in life
to be explored.
As the perfect companion for exciting outdoor adventures, the
Amazfit T-Rex 2 has passed 15 military-grade tests including
resistance to high and low pressure, extreme 70℃ heat and
-40℃ cold, plus intense vibrations and shock – which were put
to the ultimate test during the smartwatch's launch to space and
return to land.
Beginning in the city of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, the Amazfit T-Rex 2 was sent
into space on a lightweight spacecraft equipped with fully
functional tracking and control systems, as well as an on-board
camera to capture the most exciting highlights during the two and a
half hour round-trip.
The smartwatch reached a peak altitude of about 113,000 feet
(34.5 kilometers) and reached a top speed of over 180 miles per
hour during the descent. Along with enduring intense air pressure
of less than 0.2 percent of what we experience at sea level, the
smartwatch also resisted freezing temperatures as cold as
-64°C.
During this incredible trip, the Amazfit T-Rex 2's dual-band
positioning and support for five satellite systems were both
enabled to track its journey, while the Sent Into Space operating
team on the ground each sported their own Amazfit T-Rex 2 to
display their real-time movement directly on their watch, as they
tracked the spacecraft during its return to Earth.
Once they retrieved the returned Amazfit T-Rex 2 from the landed
craft, the Sent Into Space team reviewed the complete route the
smartwatch had taken during its challenging mission to space, and
acknowledged that the Amazfit T-Rex 2 had proved itself to be a
true rugged outdoor GPS smartwatch.
Commenting on the space ride, one of the spacecraft technicians
said, "There's a lot of smartwatches on the market but there's very
few I'd be confident to take on one of our launches in Death Valley, or in the glaciers in
Iceland, or on an aquatic recovery
trip in the Pacific. I mean, this is a smartwatch that can go to
space and come back working fine without a scratch."
