I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

In general, I like it, I use it to record workouts and to duplicate signals when incoming (I don’t always hear the phone).

Pros
  • Battery - if you turn off the automatic heart rate check and do not use gps, one charge will probably last for more than a month. With a record of heart rate and training, it eats up 5 percent per hour. The screen is excellent, it is perfectly visible both in bright sun and in the shade. You can control the player on your phone. I have not had the opportunity to swim in them yet, but I hope they are really waterproof, I am going to put them on in the sea when I get there.
Cons
  • The pulse sensor measures the pulse even at the table. It's a shame that at the table he is better than mine, always 60-70. A rash came from the native strap (I don’t remember that I had a rash from something before). She wore it only a few times at night, she lies mercilessly about sleep. One night I first read for 40 minutes, then woke up for a few minutes in the middle of the night - Amazfit wrote down that she fell asleep immediately (it seemed that the reading was not boring) and did not wake up until the morning. The other night I fell asleep without reaching the pillow and woke up only by the alarm clock - I wrote down that I fell asleep 2 hours later and woke up about an hour in the middle of the night (fig knows, maybe I'm a sleepwalker, but so far no one has complained). Sometimes he records the sleep of the table, as well as his pulse. The table sleeps badly. (in the screenshot just a dream of the table)

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

In general, I like the watch, I used to have a fitness bracelet (it still functions, I treat equipment and things carefully, I don’t lose or damage),

Pros
  • It holds a charge for a long time, I often turn on the bluetooth, and the charge does not go away quickly. The screen is perfectly visible in the sun, this is important. Large numbers can be picked up by downloading a new screensaver from the Internet.
Cons
  • During the summer, when it was hot, irritation on the skin appeared on the arm under the strap. If you loosen the strap or take it off at night, it goes away quickly.

It's not a bad product, nothing extraordinary.

I bought it mainly to measure the pulse during training by pairing the watch with a chest strap, but, alas, the expectations were not met - the watch does not have such a function . I regretted the impulsive purchase, I had to add a few thousand and buy a more serious watch

Pros
  • Of the advantages, one can single out autonomy, visibility of the display in the sun, good GPS performance. Perhaps everything.
Cons
  • The accuracy of the heart rate sensor is very low, more like entertainment. Not suitable for training at all (compared with a Polar sensor). Measures heart rate even if the watch is on the table! C grade accuracy of the pedometer. If all functions are enabled, then about 8-9 percent of the battery charge is consumed per day. A stopwatch and a countdown timer for a maximum of 99 minutes is also a serious minus. I would like to at least add a flashlight function

Overall it's good but I expect more, there are some downsides.

The screen is scratched. The strap broke in a week. I almost lost it. It’s not very good as a pedometer. If you go fast, even with the program turned on, it lowers the steps. At a speed of 6 km / h, it lowers the steps by 20%. the button is big and always pressed. I turn on the program, I run it and the program is paused or turned off and the cancer is always))

Pros
  • Waterproof, compact
Cons
  • The strap is torn, the screen is scratched, do not connect without the included gps in the phone

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

It would be great if they sold protective glass for watches for such crooked hands like me: Gorilla Glass copes with a bang, but I still managed to scratch it on a tree. Moisture does not get into the watch, but I did not try to swim or wash in them. On a well-known Chinese site you can buy a bunch of different straps)

Pros
  • I charge once a month, they count everything for sure. There are settings for the treadmill. Now I use the alarm clock only in hours. The application is convenient, in 2022, you can simply download it from the market.

My impression of the purchase is good, buy it.

In general, I am satisfied with the watch for this money. I recommend. Of all the shortcomings, only #1 and #4 are important to me. Below is a photo with the "left" dial, which I liked, with and without backlight. It is clear that it is not needed during the day.

Pros
  • Quite comfortable watch with a large display. The dial can be seen even without backlighting in the sun, in the dark there is a beautiful backlight. They work with their active use for at least 2 weeks autonomously. Good water protection. You can see who is calling, as well as text messages, you can control the music There is a phone search function There are applications that allow you to set watch faces for absolutely every taste, instead of those offered.
Cons
  • 1) the glass is absolutely not scratch resistant 2) the accuracy of the steps is approximate (as with most similar devices, i. E. on a rough road while sitting in a car, you can walk the daily norm of 8000 steps without getting up from the driver's seat, the picture is reversed on the ellipse, for an hour of walking - 410 steps, instead of 5000- 5500 steps. 3) the pulse is also determined with errors. When running, or on an ellipse, the pulse starts to show correctly from 2 minutes, before that, at first, as if you are at rest, then it goes off scale for 140. And the pulse according to the track or ellipse immediately grows as it should (felt by breathing) 4) For some reason, the software in the smartphone requests access to geodata with each activation, without them the smartphone does not want to synchronize with the clock 5) in fact, the watch is a fitness bracelet 6) periodically contact with the smartphone is lost

Expectations were not met, average quality.

I bought a watch as an inexpensive analogue of advanced sports watch companies with a heart rate monitor and gps. In operation for exactly a month. I train almost every day - three failures in the last 10 days. I come to the conclusion - a miser pays twice.

Pros
  • At first I liked everything. Comfortable. Many sports modes, the presence of a heart rate monitor, gps accuracy when tracking workouts, the ability to synchronize with strava.
Cons
  • But after two weeks of operation there were problems with GPS. Within ten days, the watch gave out a completely inaccurate training route three times.

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

I actually bought it when the screen unglued and fell off on the first beeps (2 or 3 years I went to the pool with them), without breaking the old one, I wouldn’t change it, but I recommend it as an independent purchase. mibands complain about arbitrary unlocking in a dream, there are no such problems here. The fastening straps are the same as on the previous beeps. I use it to read notifications and calls, even vibro is disabled in the phone, all notifications through the clock. the…

Pros
  • more colors than in the first beeps, playback control, charging is kept like the first beeps, on average I charge every 2-3 weeks. for several months, only 1 or 2 times there was an accidental unlocking in a dream, and then only the dial changed.
Cons
  • I would like it to be cheaper.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

It is difficult to use for people with poor eyesight during the day, if there is no sun, the numbers are hard to see on the screen. The daily record in memory is not saved for the next day, and is reset at 24-00, the record is from 0 to 24-00. Most of the classic watch faces from ZEPP are not downloadable / installed on my watch, apparently there are such versions. Other shortcomings are described in the reviews.

Pros
  • I bought it to control the pulse and indicators of walking / running, free activities, i. E. gymnastics. Price/quality suits. I swim in the pool, the record is correct. I was at sea, where the accuracy does not always show correctly. I use 15 months. Satisfied. The screen is big and the numbers are big. Shines in the sun, very comfortable. You can see great in the dark. Built-in GPS, no need to carry your smart phone. Wide, comfortable strap. The charge holds depending on the intensity of use and user settings - from a week to a month. There was no allergy to the strap.
Cons
  • Low screen brightness in the shade during the day. Sometimes the timer does not start in the "free" workout mode. To eliminate it, it is necessary to start the program in the morning, the training starts go without comment. There is no "ski" in the programs. I have to start running/walking. With a weak GPS signal, the accuracy of measuring the distance walks, as on all trackers.

Good value for money, I recommend it.

Performs its functions. Only messed up the screen. There are scratches in the attached photo. Also in the photo you can see how the information on the screen is read by the light of the lamp, the backlight is not turned on. It took me just as long to figure out how to use an independent GPS module, but I didn’t catch it always and everywhere. Once in a certain period of time, the phone synchronizes the A-GPS settings with the clock. This procedure often happens at night, but it happens when you

Pros
  • A-GPS accuracy. Transflective display (the more light around, the better the indicators on the screen are visible). Interchangeable straps (out of the box, very comfortable and pleasant to wear.). Battery life. Smartphone app (zepp). The accuracy of the heart rate monitor (compared with a real-time pulse oximeter on a dry arm). The presence of a third-party application for customizing the home screen. The hand feels all notifications, but sometimes there are phantom notifications =))
Cons
  • The screen is ordinary plastic, very quickly scratched from one awkward movement. The lack of the possibility of self-customization of the home screen at the level of a regular user.

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

I like the clock, not very big. Screen brightness is adjustable. When used with a constant connection with the phone: notifications, sleep and activity detection functions every minute, 2-3 workouts per week, the charge is enough for 2 weeks. I think if you disconnect from the phone enough for 3. Before that, there was MiBand3, there is something to compare with. I recommend.

Pros
  • Autonomy, screen
Cons
  • The screen has an average resistance to mechanical stress. On the 2nd week I caught a micro-scratch. I use my watch carefully.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

In fact, this is not a smart watch, but a large bracelet like Mi Band 4. I was attracted by the solution with a transflective screen and the desire to buy at least something now, without waiting for new, more advanced models, until the prices in the stores waved after the falling. The attached photo was taken without the backlight turned on - just a reflection of the light of the lamp.

Pros
  • Transflective screen that works with reflected light without backlight and you can see the time in natural light (even room light) without pressing any buttons, but simply by raising your hand (see photo). This is especially useful when exercising. Relatively large screen with large numbers. Fully water resistant WR50, allowing you to swim in the watch. And there's even a pool swimming training mode, besides the other 12 training modes. Light weight. Reasonable price. Accuracy of counting steps and heart rate. Huge autonomy up to a month without recharging! Quite comfortable on the hand. You can find many watch faces in third-party apps, but you need to choose apps specifically for S, the regular Amazfit Bip has different screen options and its watch faces will not load.
Cons
  • Small for today's functionality (steps, sleep, pulse). Toy (youth and undistinguished) design. Cheap plastic. Pretty big size. The screen is dim and low-contrast, the backlight is weak, the colors are faded. Huge bezels around the screen. In the presence of all the problems of Xiaomi bracelets - poor sleep recording, no vibration when you lose connection with your smartphone (which is very convenient if you forget your smartphone somewhere), they don’t feel your hand, they will shine with LEDs trying to measure the pulse even lying on the table. Pretty decent price for such a balalaika at the current $ exchange rate. A rather specific Zepp app that is slow to sync. For example, sleep analysis results are generated only 1 hour after waking up.

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

no gps. But as for me - so we do not need this function absolutely. If you run regularly and you need routes (well, apparently you don't know where you ran :) ) then you should look at another model that is made for sports. There is no way to set a low battery alert (they themselves vibrate with a residual charge of 10%) - not critical, but still. The declared 30 days does not hold (somewhere around 2-2.5 weeks). Perhaps you need to turn everything off, then it will be. But then what's the…

Pros
  • They look nice. There are various functions. Full moisture protection. Big screen. You can change display skins.
Cons
  • no gps (we have a model without gps); The charge does not hold the stated 30 days.

I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

I was looking for a specially smart watch for swimming. And here I found it. There is swimming in open water and in the pool. The pool can be adjusted to 50 or 25 meters. Or in general for any length less than 50 m. Pros below: Great set for sports activities. And most importantly, there is swimming! Some cons: Discharges for 10-12 days. Moreover, in the presence of 17%, for example, after 1.5 km of swimming it was discharged. Doesn't measure accurately in the pool. Only the rabbit measures…

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

Took my wife. In general, the watch is good and the price is reasonable. I would recommend them, as there is nothing perfect, especially for inexpensive ones. Some pros: Ergonomics. Autonomy. Stable connection. The contrast image is clearly visible in the sun. Different cons: The screen is very dim. This is, of course, a side effect of transflectivity, but it’s downright faded. There is no way to change the font size (very small in messages).

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

But for that kind of money, I'm not disappointed that there is no way to call, these are trifles for me. Otherwise, I like them, they are beautiful. convenient to manage Got pros: They sit on the arm shiiiikaaaarno Beautiful design Good build quality pleases Autonomy about 25-30 days cute Cons: Not yet, although you can’t call from them, or nfc would not hurt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

I bought this watch mainly as a watch with a large screen that does not fade in the sun. They perform this function well. In fact, this is an advanced fitness bracelet, not a sports watch. I use recently, later I will add a review. Pros: Transflective screen (clearly visible in the sun). Long work on a single charge. Different cons: In the standard clock skin, the date is displayed in American format (month / day), and I have not yet found how to set it up. I have not tried non-standard ones…
