Amazfit, a global smart wearables brand owned by Zepp Health, has announced the addition of NFL running back Derrick Henry to its growing team of athlete ambassadors. The partnership aims to highlight Amazfit’s role in performance tracking, recovery, and overall wellness, as Henry enters his 10th season in the National Football League.
Henry, known for his exceptional blend of power and speed, will use Amazfit devices—including the rugged T-Rex 3 smartwatch—to monitor health metrics throughout his rigorous training and recovery routines. The collaboration is expected to give fans and athletes a closer look at how wearable technology can contribute to peak athletic performance.
“As I progress in my career, it’s important to properly track my training and recovery so my body is ready for the on-field challenge every Sunday,” Henry said in a statement. “Amazfit and the T-Rex 3 give me the tools to do this. From heart rate and training load tracking to sleep and stress monitoring, this partnership will help me maintain peak performance every week.”
The T-Rex 3 smartwatch, paired with Amazfit’s Zepp App, offers AI-driven insights and features like the new BioCharge metric, which tracks daily changes in body energy. The app also includes a food log and detailed recovery metrics, allowing athletes to better understand their physical condition and readiness.
Wayne Huang, CEO and Founder of Zepp Health, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. “Derrick is one of the most respected and hardworking athletes in sports today. His relentless drive to be the best mirrors our mission at Amazfit—to help people unlock their full potential. We’re excited to support his training journey and ensure he’s performing at his best.”
Henry joins a high-profile roster of Amazfit ambassadors, which includes Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas, padel star Bea González, triathlete Morgan Pearson, distance runner Yeman Crippa, WTA tennis player Jasmine Paolini, and HYROX world champions Meg Jacoby and Hunter McIntyre.
The partnership reflects Amazfit’s broader strategy to align with elite athletes in order to promote its holistic approach to health and wellness. The company’s four pillars—fitness, sleep, mindfulness, and nutrition—are designed to offer a 360-degree view of health, both for professionals and everyday users.
While the collaboration primarily targets fitness-focused audiences, Amazfit’s expansion into mainstream sports partnerships also underscores the growing role of technology in personal wellness and performance enhancement.
As wearable tech becomes increasingly integrated into both competitive sports and daily life, Amazfit’s collaboration with Derrick Henry is a sign of where the industry is headed: data-driven, personalised, and always-on.
