Xiaomi-backed wearable brand Huami on Tuesday announced the launch of its Amazfit Bip and Amazfit Stratos smartwatches in India. This comes days after the India launch was teased by the phone maker. The more affordable of the lot, priced at Rs. 5,499, Amazfit Bip sports an Always-On display and is claimed to offer a battery life of 45 days. On the other hand, the Amazfit Stratos, with a circular display, is the more premium of the lot and comes with a price tag of Rs. 15,999.
