It's light and once I swapped bands it was ok I don't like silicone bands. A 20mm leather standard watch band fit just perfect. That's the reason quality gets a 4 star. Now set-up was easy, download the Amazfit App make a profile and it synced right up, way faster than my daughter's Fitbit syncs. You do have to set heart rate frequency and turn on calls, sms, app notification separately but that's only once. You can read the text message on the watch screen. I got everything maxed brightness, frequent monitoring and all, checked it over 100 times (sometimes I had to twist my wrist a few times to get the screen light on, few times had to push the button, but hey it's a cheap watch) Have not checked out the auto detect workout feature, but the sedimentary reminder does work! Sleep monitoring let me know half my sleep is deep and half is lite, that was cool. So 24 hours straight extra heavy useage and the battery is at 86% so should go 4-5 days before I have to charge it. It's cool for a watch, got a cheap one to see if I will actually wear it before I think about a 200-500 watch but this one might just stick around until it goes out. Does everything I wanted except no pulsox (O2 stat reader) but that feature is new and only a few watches offer it. If you want a smartwatch and don't want to spend alot then this will work for you. Just go buy a better 20mm band unless you like rubbery silicone on your skin all the time. Now the Alarm just vibrates so took the probably 2nd or 3rd buzz to wake me not sure how that auto snooze works, just know I felt my wrist vibrate as I woke and it was 15 minutes past the set time. But I like it. App could use a few more faces I have tried 7 today not sure how many it offers.

Its not the prettiest, but i bought it for its battery life and transflexive display(Perfect for outdoors). Its abit weak in fitness tracking, but pretty darn good for gps tracked runs. Heart Monitor is spot-on for resting/general tracking, iffy with irratic workouts like weight lifting, but thats expected from an optical monitor. I get 16-20 Days of life with 30-60 Minutes Workouts tracked 6/7 days. And using sleep Tracking aswell. For the price im greatly satisfied.

Overall I'm impressed with this watch and would recommend to someone who wants a good implementation of smart watch/health features for an affordable price. Previously I used a Pebble Time for several years, and upgraded to the Fitbit Versa when it came out. I've now retired my Fitbit Versa in favor of this watch. Pros: Battery life: For my usage, I easily get more than 2 weeks of usage out of a single charge. Heart rate tracking: I've found the tracker to be much more accurate than the Fitbit Versa (1st gen). The Fitbit would almost lose my heart rate during intense workouts. The Bip S hardly ever loses track. Integrated GPS: Very nice for exercise logging without phone. It's good to remember that it won't start tracking outdoor activities until it acquires GPS signal, though I've found the acquisition typically happens within 15 seconds. I haven't found this to be an inconvenience. Navigation: I've found the overall layout fairly straight forward and comparable to other watches on the market. Weight: This is the lightest watch I've owned. Build Quality: Mine feels of decent quality though you won't mistake it for the build quality of something like an Apple Watch. I've found the glass to be superior to that of the Fitbit Versa (1st gen). Watch band: I'm not a big fan of any of the default bands that come with today's smart watches. Changing out the band was no more difficult than the Pebble Time or Fitbit Versa (1st gen). I'm using a 3rd party 20mm band with no issues. Watch faces: There are several faces to choose from, though the options aren't as many as with the Pebble or Fitbit Versa. I was able to find a couple watch faces that I like in the Amazfit App. Data Syncing: The watch syncs well, and I haven't had issues getting notifications. As with other brands, you can select which notifications you do and don't want to get (by application) Google Fit: Amazfit has integration with Google Fit, so you can sync your data. I've found this works well with the exception of the GPS tracked exercises. For some reason Google breaks a single activity into many short durations. This doesn't impact the tracking in the Amazfit app, only how the GPS data is displayed in Google Fit. Sleep Tracking: it's just OK. Fitbit definitely has better sleep insights with the VO2 sensor and advanced sleep analysis. If you're looking for just high level sleep info, this watch probably has enough info for you. I've found the sleep tracking similar to what was provided on the Pebble Time.
