Amazfit - Bip Max 50mm Smart Watch, Large 2.07" AMOLED Display, 20 Days of Battery, GPS - Silver/Black - (2026)

The watch has big display and very bright, can see clearly even under direct afternoon sun light. Even though it is big but the body is lightweight made of aluminum alloy, its dark color blends in with the strap making the large size less obvious. The included strap is very comfortable. The watch can track stress, sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen and you can control your watch with your voice using Zepp Flow. The included AI is pretty good seems the same as google gemini or chatgpt. These are other stuff it can track, Sleep heart rate variability, Sleep stages (including REM), Daytime naps, Sleep schedule, Sleep breathing quality. Can do Menstrual cycle tracking too. The watch's water-resistance grade is 5 ATM, meaning it can withstand pressure equivalent to 50 meters or 164 feet of static water depth for up to 10 minutes. Its speaker is pretty loud. Battery life is very good, on paper should last up to 20 days. In my case, with everything enabled, it lasted more than 5 days. Even thought it has GPS receiver and can train and navigate without the phone, to use it, you need to store offline map on the watch and import the route file for navigation to work. It is not possible to choose a point on the offline map and have it route for navigation. Navigation functions only work with outdoor sports modes like walking or running etc. Bluetooth Phone Camera Control supports only iPhone. Unfortunately my phone is an Android. The watch does not have wifi so must rely on bluetooth connection with the phone to update or download or access internet. To use the watch, you must install the Zepp app on the phone. No charging cable is provided.

The Bip Max while being affordable, includes far more features then you might expect at this price point. Battery life, screen size, notifications, phone calls, Zepp app, multitude of workouts, sensors, and ease of use are all top shelf and in many ways, better than pricier options. The physical size and thickness of the watch itself might need to be considered before purchase. After several days of use, I like it, especially the alerts to get me up and moving more. Almost feels like the Amazfit Bip Max has a playful and motivating system to not make me feel bad if I ignore it and miss an opportunity to move and be active. I've included more in depth review below. Unboxing: The watch, 22mm silicone watch band, magnetic charge puck and paperwork. A USB-C cable is oddly not included and will be needed to recharge watch. Size: The Bip Max is big. The sensor(s) on the back, also protrudes a bit. And when on wrist it stands tall. If you wear a watch on the inside of wrist. Less of an issue. On top of wrist. It sits high and appears larger than many regular timepieces. Not a negative, just noting it for those with small wrists. I chose to swap my own 22mm stainless watch band for the included strap. Silicone bands are itchy to me. Metal watch bands are easier for me and I prefer the look. Comfort is decent for a larger timepiece. App/Software: The watch app is called Zepp. Very thorough app to setup nearly every aspect of the watch. There are far too many features and settings to name. Favorite feature so far, badges. Badges are awarded to sort of "gamify" your progress to help motivate you. The app is very good and beyond what I have used before because the whole watch can be controlled in just this one app. One login and done. Workouts most would do are here. Weather where I live has kept me mostly stuck walking indoors. It seems to be fairly active for steps so far. Hopefully, kayaking and cycling can get tested soon. Watch faces. There are plenty of free faces and a few fancier ones that can cost up to $2.99. The free options are very good. Additional apps are also available through the Zepp app. Many for free. Maps are also added through the app. A nearly 200 x 125 mile map is only about 200mb. So, you can save a few very large areas to track where you workout or drive to. GPS is quick and accurate. While driving it chimes as you change roads and highways. Might need to mute that. One oddity noticed. Occasionally, the night mode (screen goes green, red, or orange) comes on. Great feature for night, but not sure why it randomly activates. It has a time feature and maybe needs to be set. Daily Use: I am an older guy and just trying to motivate myself to be a little less sloth like. The first thing is the screen size is much easier to see and use, even without readers. Daily use and wearing the watch everywhere, except shower (Bip is waterproof), and the morning briefing just keeps me on top of goals I set for myself. Badges add to accomplishments. Yet, just knowing sleep scores and daily movement are leading to potentially better health is worth the minimal purchase price. The watch also allows you to keep your phone pocketed more often. Haptics and alerts for notifications all come in easily from my Android. Emails, text and camera alerts are text only. You can see emojis and reply with them, but pictures or thumbnails do not show. You can also take and make calls, and quality is pretty good. Bluetooth audio is also present, but did not test yet as storage of 4gb (2gb free) is not enough for me as a standalone music player. The Zepp Flow assistant is possibly still a work in progress. It had trouble doing what I ask. It might get better the more it is used. I do not have any accent, and it struggles to understand me. Sensors and features: While all the included sensors are typical of most smart watches and seem to be very accurate for movement, heart and blood health. I wanted to note the lack of ECG/EKG, fall detection, temperature and NFC. None of these are totally necessary. Just be nice if included, but then the price would be much higher. Buttons on the side can be assigned to nearly every feature or app in the watch. Single press, long press and double press. Final thoughts: The biggest consideration is the size of the watch. If you can wear a watch this big. Then don't give it a second thought and buy it. It works great on its own and in conjunction with my Android phone. You get over a week of use between charges. Workouts, tracking health or just being a watch that shows notifications without reaching for the phone. It can always be with you. The Amazfit Bip Max is really good value in smart watches.

It is lightweight and easy to read in bright light and in dark rooms since it glows with an auto adjust of the brightness. It vibrates when a text message, phone call, or other notification arrives on my phone, a 6 year old Samsung Android with OS 14. I have used it while swimming and it does not skip a beat or care that it gets wet. There is no altitude sensor or a temperature sensor in case those are needed. I see my text messages, WhatsApp messages, and notices of phone calls on the watch. I used it to both reply and to initiate text messages directly from the watch face using the dictation function to create the text message. Very cool. It also allows replying to WhatsApp messages. I can also use the Bip Max smartwatch to make and receive phone calls via my phone's Bluetooth. I tested that and it worked for a 45 minute phone call while on the pool deck to a friend who said he heard me clearly as well as the normal phone connection. The speaker is on the opposite side of the 2 physical buttons so if I'm wearing it on the left arm I need to hold it toward my right ear to hear it at its best. I also swim with the watch and it automatically senses I am swimming and keeps tracking laps, total time, and also displays my heartbeat while swimming, among other specs. Very cool. After 1 day of wearing it the fact I am wearing it is of no consequence since it is very lightweight and waterproof so no worry about damaging it when in the pool area or showering. It displays weather info such as expected low and high temperatures as well as the current temperature from your phone data. It also knows where you are from the phone GPS circuit (if turned on). The software in the watch has tons of workout and health applications that I will be eagerly learning as I continue to use the watch daily. It is a welcome enhancement of my healthy routing from now on. Recommended and the $100 price makes it a huge bargain compared to the A, S, M and G brand watches.

I am a big fan of Amazfit. Have had a few of their watches and I wanted to grab the Bip Max for my wife to use with her iPhone. In the meantime I decided to test it out before I handed it over to her as I usually get the more high end models. ----------- This bad boy packs a heck of a lot for its price. I wanted something my wife could depend on and use for more than just 2 days that her, that which shall not be named, other watch lasts. I wanted her to feel comfortable with the shape of it and be more of the design she is used to on her wrist. ----------- The screen is large, bright, and very fluid. I really like the new Zepp OS software enhancements. There are a ton of watch faces to choose from as well. The Zepp app is so innovative in my opinion and helps make the Bip Max even better. Without putting a hole too deep in your pockets cost wise, this checks off all the boxes for what you need. You'll get all notifications regardless of the phone OS you are using (compatible with both Apple and Android). ----------- Battery is fantastic and you can expect likely two weeks out of this on a single charge. Huge win compared to other companies. ----------- The watch band it comes with is very comfortable as well. The overall look is very simplistic and I personally feel this is the best hang for your buck regardless of what phone you are using, but specifically, this should be the watch you get for your iPhone if you like that rectangle design. ----------- You get continuos heart monitoring, sleep tracking, blood oxygen. Everything you need to monitor your health and track your goals as well. You also get hyrox training implemented in the software which has been taking off as of late in the outdoor and fitness world. ----------- If you have been on the fence about trying out an Amazfit watch, take the leap. You won't regret it.

I have used the Amazfit brand for a long time. It was traditionally my go to for an economical smartmatch that delivered battery life still measured by a single-digit but the metric shifted from day to month (“OG” Amazfit Bip had 45 day battery life!). Back then it was achieved with smaller screens and limited features (still had BPM and Sp02). Today however, the Bip MAX is a full-featured smartwatch with a bright and spacious AMOLED display, and still getting amazing battery life…double digits if measured by days and single digits if measured by weeks. The feature set has everything you could want. For my testing, I setup the wearable to to mirror my Notifications and capture my movements and remind me when I have been stationary too long. I wanted to MAXimize battery life. The ZEPP companion software is very extensive in its capabilities. Setting up the device does not require an account to turn and get the time, etc. But if you want integrations, a ZEPP account is necessary. Once in the watch, you can set it up as typical companion device or go all in and use ZEPP as a primary source for a multitude of features. Some like the Zepp Messenger app, which is supposed to combine all of your messages in one place from your selected apps, are not fully featured yet. As of now, only SMS is available. The Amazfit Bip MAX is a bit larger than I was expecting coming from a 44mm round display. However the build materials keep it light and it doesn't feel as large as it looks. Once jacket weather comes around I may need to rethink my attire game, but for summer livin' I haven't had any issues. The band is comfortable and breathable and should accommodate larger wrists. The strap attachment was a little tricky as the spring pin rotates in the band to slide out of the way when wearing, it just means it takes a couple tries to get it to seat. 11 days of use and I'm sitting at 52% battery so the 20 days battery life should hold true. This marks the 4th or 5th Amazfit product I have had as the “OG” Amazfit I bought 4 for myself and family members. And still have all of them, which do work when charged. I can easily recommend this wearable, I would recommend seeing it in person if possible as the size for smaller wrists may be too large.
