Amazfit - Band 7 Activity Smart Watch, 18 Day Battery, Alexa Built-in, Heart Rate, Sport Modes - Black - (2022)

I sometimes wonder why people pay hundreds of dollars for an Apple watch or a Samsung one. I had my first Amazfit smart watch for 5 years and finally decided to upgrade. The best part is my upgrade cost me less than $50. I decided to try out the fitness band this time because it gave me the same features as a watch but was a lot smaller. It does. Everything I need it to do. Keeps my heart rate shows me text messages that are coming in along with phone calls and even monitors my oxygen and sleep. I don't need to be able to talk to my watch like Dick Tracy. I just want to track my workouts and also see what time it is and what the weather's like. Just enough to keep my phone in my pocket and not have to worry about it. Course if you're into all those extra functions, they're on there. There's a breathe app and all sorts of workout modes for you to play around with. The app that it uses even has some fun games to play but like I said I just need something for the basics and this definitely does the trick. The battery on it lasts about 5 days, maybe six and that's with me working out almost everyday and having it track it. Buy this if you want a reliable watch/tracker that gives you just enough bells and whistles to feel fancy while also saving hundreds of dollars on bloated big name watches. Oh, and I bought some compatible watch bands on Amazon for $12.99 that are Velcro so that I can swap them out

I'm not an expert on these bands by any stretch, but this seemed like a very cheap option. Three basic features I'm looking for and this one has it: Track sleep, track steps, track heartbeat. Other good features, with the right watchface, gives the weather, outdoor humidity day, date, time, battery life all in one screen. Didn't notice this till recently but it also detects when been sitting too long and recommends brief walking breaks. For someone who works in office job this is pretty useful. I use to own an Amazfit 5 and it didn't use to do that. Only downside is there aren't many aftermarket strap alternatives out there that aren't silicon. To get a magnetic metal strap (which I think is great) I had to order from Aliexpress shipping from China (company called mijobs).

I wanted an affordably-priced fitness tracker to track my steps/exercise/heart rate/etc when I don’t have my phone on me, but I was very surprised by how much the amazfit offers! Software features: 1. Of course the steps, exercise, heart rate are as expected, but you can also log what kind of workouts you’ve done and track it on the band and in the app. 2. The app (I’m not sure if you can use the band without downloading the app but honestly the app adds a lot of detail that isn’t viewable on the band screen) is also very easy to use. 3. I also learned that it can track your sleep cycles and give you recommendations for how to improve your quality of sleep, which I didn’t know I needed! 4. The band also has a weather option that shows you the details for weather in your area, sunrise/sunset, humidity, forecasts for the next 5 days, etc. 5. It tracks your music! You can see what’s playing, skip tracks, and adjust the volume. Like I mentioned, I got this tracker for when I’m exercising and don’t have my phone on me, so being able to change music from my wrist is fantastic. 6. Find my phone feature: sure does find my phone (it sends a ping to my phone that’s pretty loud and good for locating it). 7. I haven’t used the stress, blood oxygen, or one-tap measuring options so I’m not sure how accurate those are, but it’s nice to know that theyre included. 8. The battery life is fantastic!! I believe it was advertised as 10 (maybe 18?) days, I don’t remember. I got the band July 23 and am writing this September 3. I’ve only charged it twice between then and today, despite wearing it nearly all hours of the day (except for showering, or if I’m working near an open flame or hot liquids)! Hardware features: 1. I needed something that’s waterproof so it would be easier to keep clean. The silicon band is indeed waterproof, but the only thing I don’t like is that when it’s wet, water gets trapped between the overlapping silicon of the wristband and/or between the wristband and my wrist and makes weird noises. However, it’s either weird noises or a wet cloth or metal ( or other kinds of wristband materials) wristband. I’d rather choose the silicon wristband. It’s also very easily fixable; just take it off and wipe away the water. 2. The sizing is great and I like that it’s secured with a little barbell-plug thingy (like a flat back earring, I’m not sure what it’s called). It’s really easy to pop it in and out. 3. For my own peace of mind, I did buy a screen cover separately from Amazon to prevent scratches or scuffs, but the cover doesn’t protect against cracks. So far so good!

I love this band. It's helping me stay on track and monitors my progress. It's tangible evidence of getting closer to my goals. And a lot more fun than a scale! My favorite features are the keeping track of steps, and heart rate and I love the sleep analysis feature. There are a lot more features that I have yet to try...and I will. I'm 79 and was able to set-up my band on the first day.

Great fitness tracker. Full of features, seems accurate. Tracks hr, O2, sleep, stress. Well worth the $45 I paid. The band stays on we'll, but did give me a slight rash after wearing for a week. I have most features on and battery lasts about a week. Had it about a week, so far.
