This Band's Usefulness Grows on You. UPDATED 12-31-2020 [This a a real review]Set up is easy as you download the Zepp app and pair the watch to your bluetooth, then register to sign in. The little band is a bit hard to fasten on your wrist at first as you get used to it, and I have had it come off in bed and once just in everyday use possibly because it wasn't fully secured but more likely due to catching the closure button on something. The read outs are easy to use although the instructions and explanations of functions are somewhat vague. The measurements to input some manual things like blood pressure, body temperature, etc., are only in UK measurements so you have to convert the numbers. Hopefully they will change this for imperial measurements, too. In your profile the standard measurements can be set to imperial or UK so there is no confusion seeing your readouts on your band or in the app.The band itself provides the ability to change around the menus so those you're most interested in can be scrolled to up or down, left or right, quicker. You can rotate your wrist toward you to activate one of the chosen 45+ provided watch faces (the automatic watch face reveal can be scheduled to turn off when you're sleeping) or you can just tap the lower part of the face and the length of time for viewing can be changed, too. Then you can scroll the menu so that side to side brings up Alexa/ Notifications in one directions and Weather/Heart rate in the other as they repeat in a circle. Pulling the screen down reveals More/Workout/Weather/Events/Breathing/Stress/Notifications/SpO2/Heart Rate/PAI/Status before returning back the the watch face.MORE gives you options: DND/Alarm/Camera/Music/Stopwatch/Timer/Find Device/Silent/World Clock/Band Display/Settings. When you use the app to download one of the 45+ watch faces (band display) at least five remain as a choice in the Band Display section for quick change. Settings allows further adjustments to the watch face use and ability to reboot.WORKOUT: Outdoor Running/Treadmill/Cycling/Indoor Cycling/Walking/Elliptical/Rowing Machine/Yoga/Jump Rope/Pool Swimming/FreestyleWEATHER gives you current local conditions and forecast for the next six days. Temperature/Humidity/Level/QualityEVENTS are reminders of upcoming things you input by speaking into the watch.BREATHING is an exercise to calm and relax you.STRESS measures your level between 0 and 100 based on heart and pulse ox and other factors.SPO2, also known as oxygen saturation, is a measure of the amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in the blood relative to the amount of hemoglobin not carrying oxygen. The body needs a certain level of oxygen in the blood or it will not function as efficiently. In fact, very low levels of SpO2 can result in very serious symptoms. You can quickly test here to obtain your SpO2.HEART RATE measures the beats per minute, BPM, and can be set to check this periodically or manually here.PAI is the physical activity intelligence that takes data to provide a number up to 100 showing your activity level, and this number climbs as days pass and it automatically computes the number. You can quickly do a manual test here, too, following the on screen directions.STATUS shows your steps, calories used, distance walked, idle alerts (if so set), and previous days step counts.ALEXA is a nice addition and works well with responses in text format. It is not necessary to say the name, Alexa, just scroll to menu and input your command or question. I often use my Band 5 to turn on/off or command smart lights, plugs, and smart light strips. I can walk in a room and command a light, or change the temperature on the Ecobee Thermostat, if so desired. Very quick responses to questions and computations make this a very nice feature.NOTIFICATION work very well and promptly show on the watch face to be easily read, and can be scrolled if a long message is received.BATTERY LIFE so far seems to be on average around two week at least before a 2 hour charge is necessary using the round magnetically attached plug and short cord. I charged mine after 12 days at 17% remaining charge so it would have gone a full two weeks before going dead.CONCLUSION. There is a lot to explore and I have continued too use a Fitbit Versa for steps and distance as well as another app, MapMyRun, to plot the GPS path and distance. I have not gotten the Amazfit Band 5 to accurately give my distance and show a GPS plotted route like the MapMyRun app provides. However, the step count is more accurate. It may well be that the Versa and MapMyRun app are interfering with the GPS so that Band 5 cannot calculate this properly. I will experiment in time and work with developers to see if a solution can be found, but it's not a big problem for me. MapMyRun's browser data and history with routes is quite satisfactory and I have found history is available when you use the icon in the top right of the Zepp app and see under Exercise Data the Exercise Record where period of time can be selected and individual dates show full data (again, the routes shown and distance/steps are wrong, so far, and still experimenting with this error). The Versa serves as a watch and notifications I can easily read. Band 5 does not provide the ability to switch functions while using the Workout function, but it does show notifications. So you cannot use the Band 5 for anything else during work outs, if I am not mistaken. Note that outside in the sunlight it is very hard to read the screen, however, unless you turn the brightness up under setting to maximum from the default applied to conserve battery.Overall I am very pleased with all the data, including the SLEEP DATA it provides for helping the wearer to better health. A beta Breathing tracking function can be set to check for problems while you sleep and it scored me 99 out of 100. As you turn on things like this it does warn of extra battery use. It could be, and probably will be tweaked so the wearer can more customize it to the wearer's own needs and life. For the price, it is great, and now there is an inexpensive compatible replacement band assortment in 15 colors for easy change to coordinate with your daily wardrobe. As I wear and use the Band 5 I may add more to this review.UPDATE AFTER DST: Strangely the sleep record is not recording on the date it should and runs a day behind. Reporting errors or suggested improvements seems to go unnoticed as the step count is still showing the miles lower than actual, e.g., 3 miles is shown as approximately 2.5 even though the steps are correct, so the stride distance is wrong and possibly due to the GPS not working correctly with my Moto G6 Plus watch. No fix so I depend on my cell's app, MayMyRun, to accurately record this for me.
Small, does everything, impressive. Blown away by this device and the supporting app. The device itself is pretty much perfect -- it's small which is great, the screen is good looking and responsive, and you don't need instructions to figure it out -- it just works. The reminders and notifications are subtle and actually useful, not annoying. Battery really does last 2 weeks. Accuracy of step counter is fantastic and the heart rate monitor works great. The app is polished and works great -- it's better than Google Fit. There are other features and modes that are more specific. And for $30? Just an incredible value.
Stress Level tracking/reading is an utter failure...but overall, it's still a great fitness tracker. Aside from the insanely cheap price tag for what this thing is capable of doing, the main reason I bought the Amazefit Band 5 was for the stress tracking levels since most brands don't include that feature yet. Apparently many trackers can tell you when you're stressed, but they can't give you stress LEVEL readings (i.e. a numbered stress reading between 1-100).I guess there's a good reason why, though. It's simply not accurate, and I'm guessing most brands are holding off on including it until the technology is far enough along to make it more accurate (i.e. until it's not just a gimmick).I have Ulcerative Colitis, and if you look at my daily stress level reports on days where I feel great vs days I'm suffering through a full blown attack throughout the entire day, you can't spot the difference.It's also worth noting that while it does continuous readings throughout the day, most of those readings are attempted failures since you have to be still and have the band on tight enough for it to be able to get a reading. Example: the other day I had a 6 hour gap between automatic readings. And most of the time I can't even get it to do a manual reading.So what you end up with is an inaccurate metric that can't even be recorded for large chunks of the day. So in that sense, I'm profoundly disappointed since that (in addition to the low price) was the reason I bought the Amaze Band 5 instead of leveling up to a $100 Garmin or Fitbit.Another (potential) qualm I have is the caloric expenditure tracking. I could be wrong, but I feel like it's too generous telling me how many calories I've burned during a "Freestyle" or "Walking" workout session.Okay, so all of that was the bad. The good, though? Everything else seems to work fantastically and exceeded my expectations.- Battery is amazing, even if you turn on all of the options that drain the battery faster.- Sleep tracking seems like it's pretty darn accurate. The only thing I've noticed is that sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and am deep in thought for awhile before I can fall back asleep, my sleep report will note that I initially woke up for a few minutes, but then it will think I fell back asleep shortly after since I'm not moving around despite being awake. But it's hard to knock that too much since I'm not sure if ANY tracker would be able to tell the difference when the person is pretty motionless before eventually falling back asleep.- The app is great. Lots of things to track and options for customization. And while it's kind of easy to get lost trying to look for certain options, the overall design and ease of use is fantastic. That said, I can't figure out how to make it stop using military time. Unless I'm missing something here, there's no option to change it...and that's pretty annoying.- I've had zero problems with any sort of lag using the touch screen...which was the main thing that annoyed me back when I had the Generation 1 Apple Watch.**Final summary**: I may be more easily impressed since the last smartwatch/fitness tracker I owned was the Generation 1 Apple Watch (which is a dinosaur at this point)...but I'm legitimately blown away with what you're getting for a price tag south of $40. If you're looking for the ultimate budget fitness tracker, I don't see how the Amazefit 5 Band can be beat. Just don't buy it solely for stress level tracking like I did...because it simply doesn't work.
Se me hace súper útil y practico, lo uso todos los días, me encantaría poder conectar mis AirPods, pero fuera de ahí, todo excelente!
Es una muy buena opción y a un precio muy bajo comparado con la competencia. Tiene muy buena precisión el medidor de ritmo cardiaco, lo he comparado con una sensor wahoo.
Produto chegou certinho, comprei no dia 30/12 a entrega estava pro dia 04/01 mas no dia 02/12 já estava a caminho e chegou.Não é mto completo nas questões de medição do oxigênio do sangue, porém é apenas um relógio. Para mulheres ele possui um monitoramento de ciclo e colocando os dados certinho ele consegue monitorar direitinho o ciclo menstrual e todas as fases.
buen precio y calidad
Ótimo produto e compra excelente pela Amazon, entrega rápida e confiável. Estou no início do uso, porém o relógio é muito confortável e bonito, fácil pareamento e utilização pelo aplicativo.
Introduction
After the success of Amazfit Bip, an extremely affordable smartwatch with 45 days of battery life, Amazfit is trying to break into the world of fitness trackers with all the Amazfit Cor.
The Cor is a budget physical fitness tracker that comes at $55, only approximately $10 under its brighter cousin, the Bip. The Cor surfaced in January in China, and now it’s becoming an international release as Huami looks to strengthen Xiaomi’s dominance in the affordable exercise tracker marketplace.
And on paper, it creates a fantastic case. This item is packed to the gills with features, but do those attributes and its nondescript looks add up to something worth its low price? Or are you better off turning to the priciest Bip or a much more expensive Fitbit? Keep reading to find out.
Amazfit Cor: Design
The Cor looks familiar to the various wearables like the Charge, Vivofit, Gear Fit2 Guru, or Huawei Band 2 Pro.
However, it’s exceptionally generic, a little each of the above. It looks both comfortable and forgettable at the exact moment. There is little visually attractive here, except perhaps the marine-grade stainless steel, which gives it a tiny touch of sophistication.
The built material feels much better than its price suggests when you are tackling it, which is striking. Unfortunately, it’s another story when you put it on since the quality of the materials doesn’t carry over to just how bulky the Cor feels about the wrist. It is a nuisance under sleeves and in bed. The Cor feels milder despite being 4 g lighter than the 36-gram Fitbit Charge two.
To begin with, the buckle on the band is a bit frustrating. A straightforward loop and clasp mechanism determine the band: loop the underside band through the top bar and then grip.
It sounds straightforward. However, this ends up with you trying to determine that you did not get it as tight onto your wrist as you believed you had. So then you’ve got to keep adjusting and pulling until you get it as tight as you want. It’ll rattle around on your wrist like an oversized watch if you don’t do this.
Main Features
The Cor has a 1.23-inch IPS LCD screen and can track your steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, and sleep quality. It also has a built-in heart rate monitor and activity-tracking features such as running, cycling, and swimming modes.
It is equipped with IP68 water resistance rating; 5ATM waterproofing (up to 50 meters)
You can connect with your smartphone via Bluetooth 4.0 to sync data from the device to the Amazfit app on your phone so that you can keep track of your progress over time. The app will show you how many steps you’ve walked each day, how many calories you’ve burned off during workouts or while sleeping, etc…… And if you’re really into stats like we are here at Techaeris, this is definitely for you!
Display
The 1.23-inch IPS LCD screen is too tall. On an exercise tracker, you have the fundamental unit that is hard and solid, usually made out of some metal. That challenging section of the fitness tracker is about as tall as my wrist, which is a bit bulky. This makes it harder to have a solid fit because there’s more space for the strap to not adapt to your wrist.
The screen is mostly fine. It does a decent job when exposed to the sun. However, it is not as premium as other screens like the Apple Watch. It performs far better indoors, naturally. It would have been fine if the screen was more straightforward to look at because turning it can be a chore. You are supposed to tap the tiny home area below the display, but hitting it in an ideal way is hard, which may be highly annoying while you’re on a jog. The swipe interface functions mostly well, while there are a few tiny niggles that will take you by surprise – such as the exercise program automatically launching into a workout once you click on it.
Elsewhere, you’ve got a comfortable heart rate sensor on the bottom, 5 ATM waterproofing so you can take it swimming, an accelerometer, and detachable straps, should you want to replace the layout.
Thanks to that stainless steel, the Cor may look nice with a sprinkle of sophistication. However, it also can be a bit frustrating actually to utilize.
Design and Build Quality
The Amazfit Cor makes a subtle entry into the realm of fitness trackers with a design that embodies simplicity and functionality. Its marine-grade stainless steel frame adds a touch of elegance, ensuring it doesn’t feel out of place in various settings, from the gym to casual outings. The wearable balances comfort and style, although its generic appearance might not stand out in the crowded fitness tracker market. The choice of materials speaks volumes about its durability, ensuring that the device can withstand the rigors of daily use and exercise routines.
Display and User Interface
Navigating through the features of the Amazfit Cor is facilitated by a 1.23-inch IPS LCD screen, which ensures clarity and ease of access to various functionalities. The display is competent, offering reasonable visibility under various lighting conditions, including outdoor environments. Interaction with the device is mostly intuitive, with swipe gestures and taps allowing users to access features such as activity tracking, notifications, and more. However, the user interface could benefit from refinements to enhance the overall user experience and ensure that accessing features feels seamless and natural.
Activity Tracking and Performance
The Amazfit Cor is equipped to be a reliable companion for fitness enthusiasts, offering a range of tracking features that monitor steps, distance, calories, and heart rate, among others. Its ability to cater to various exercise modes, including running, cycling, and swimming, underscores its versatility as a fitness tracker. The device’s performance in tracking various metrics appears consistent, providing users with insights that can help optimize their fitness routines. However, the tracker leans towards simplicity, offering basic yet effective monitoring capabilities without delving deep into advanced fitness analytics.
Battery Life and Connectivity
One of the standout features of the Amazfit Cor is its impressive battery life, which ensures that the device remains operational for extended periods without frequent charges. This longevity enhances its usability, making it a convenient option for users who prefer a low-maintenance fitness tracker. Connectivity features such as Bluetooth enable smartphone synchronization, allowing for a streamlined flow of data and notifications. This ensures that users remain connected and updated, enhancing the overall utility of the device in everyday scenarios.
Activity Application
As it seems to be the theme using this tracker, the Cor is a combination of impressive and unsatisfactory elements. The exercise app is straightforward to operate. You press a button to start, and there you go. All you have to do is start the exercise app, and that’s it.
Tracks most activities
There are no modes to pick from. There are no exercises to choose from. It simply tracks whatever activity you are doing. On the companion program, these workouts – no matter what they are – are merely listed as”exercise.” So while it’s waterproof and can come with you where you exercise, it will mainly only track your calories and heart rate.
If you’re looking for more advanced solutions with more metrics, your best bet is to turn elsewhere. The Amazfit Cor would like to keep things as simple as possible. Once it lacks in categorizing workouts, it performs excellently when monitoring.
When monitoring heart rate, it did a good job when placed up from the Wahoo Tickr X, exactly enjoy the Amazfit Bip did. My maximum heart rate was the same on the two devices, but my average heart rate on the Cor was reduced by roughly 10 BPM.
Then there is sleep monitoring, which essentially did an excellent job of keeping up with all the Fitbit Charge 2. It had been about in line with my bedtime and gave me a bit more sleep time than the Fitbit, but two or three times, it went completely off the rails and obtained my wake-up time was wrong.
The Charge 2 correctly knew when I woke up daily without fail. However, the Cor would seemingly take turns. One day it would understand when I was getting up, then another day, it could only feel that I awakened hours after I did. CorCor likely struggled with my groggy movements as I got up from the bed.
Activity Features
The Cor isn’t for you if you want detailed exercise metrics. It’s probably going to fail you. However, if you’re looking for a simple physical fitness tracker to monitor your heart rate, the Cor at least ticks those boxes.
The Cor offers a variety of intelligent features. Swiping down from the main face, you’ll find a menu of various choices. These include a summary of your day with your step count, distance covered, and current heart rate. Also, calories burned and how static you’ve been.
You are also able to get a running record of your notifications. Having a location where you can look back at your alerts is always handy, but it’s also hidden from a menu. It would have been more suitable if it was one of the main swipe gestures from the main face.
The alarms on the Cor mirror are popping up on your mobile phone. App support is pretty good, so you will probably see everything going on, from the phone calls and text messages for your Facebook alarms, WhatsApp messages, and much more. However, these can be filtered through to prevent your wrist from going every few seconds.
Notifications feedback
That is just as well since the notifications feedback is deafening. Don’t forget to turn it on. Don’t Disturb option in case you’re sleeping.
In addition, you’ve got Huami’s standard set of attributes. Weather will tell you the weather (obviously), and you can set that up in the companion program. There is also a timer and alert to receive your clock. In the settings app, you’ll find a few choices for alternative watch faces. The watch face can be different enough from the default to be intriguing, although not interesting enough to switch to.
You’ll also receive a few more advanced watch faces you can change, but you will have to download them, and Huami warns they’ll affect your battery life. Overall, the Cor has a robust set of features for a fitness tracker.
Battery Life
Huami claims about 12 days of battery life from the Cor. I’ve had the device for approximately a week. I did four runs and received lots of notifications.
After all this, I’m down to 48%. It’s safe to say the 12-day guarantee from Huami is likely an underpromise-overdeliver situation, and I have seen nothing to make me believe otherwise. It was a bit weird that a GPS-less fitness tracker could have about one-third the battery life of this Bip, a smartwatch using GPS, but here we are.
Comparative Analysis
Comparing the Amazfit Cor with other smartbands or its cousin, the Amazfit Bip, could give readers a better perspective. For instance, while the Amazfit Cor offers a color display, the Bip stands out with an astounding 45 days of battery life. Pricing is also a factor; the Amazfit Cor is a budget-friendly option at around $55, making it accessible to a wider audience looking for affordable fitness tracking solutions3.
Incorporating these aspects and a comparative analysis of similar products will enrich the content and provide readers with a well-rounded understanding of the Amazfit Cor’s standing in the market.

The only thing I've noticed is that sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and am deep in thought for awhile before I can fall back asleep, my sleep report will note that I initially woke up for a few minutes, but then it will think I fell back asleep shortly after since I'm not moving around despite being awake. But it's hard to knock that too much since I'm not sure if ANY tracker would be able to tell the difference when the person is pretty motionless before eventually falling back asleep.- The app is great. Lots of things to track and options for customization. And while it's kind of easy to get lost trying to look for certain options, the overall design and ease of use is fantastic. That said, I can't figure out how to make it stop using military time. Unless I'm missing something here, there's no option to change it...and that's pretty annoying.- I've had zero problems with any sort of lag using the touch screen...which was the main thing that annoyed me back when I had the Generation 1 Apple Watch.**Final summary**: I may be more easily impressed since the last smartwatch/fitness tracker I owned was the Generation 1 Apple Watch (which is a dinosaur at this point)...but I'm legitimately blown away with what you're getting for a price tag south of $40. If you're looking for the ultimate budget fitness tracker, I don't see how the Amazefit 5 Band can be beat. Just don't buy it solely for stress level tracking like I did...because it simply doesn't work.
Se me hace súper útil y practico, lo uso todos los días, me encantaría poder conectar mis AirPods, pero fuera de ahí, todo excelente!
Es una muy buena opción y a un precio muy bajo comparado con la competencia. Tiene muy buena precisión el medidor de ritmo cardiaco, lo he comparado con una sensor wahoo.
Produto chegou certinho, comprei no dia 30/12 a entrega estava pro dia 04/01 mas no dia 02/12 já estava a caminho e chegou.Não é mto completo nas questões de medição do oxigênio do sangue, porém é apenas um relógio. Para mulheres ele possui um monitoramento de ciclo e colocando os dados certinho ele consegue monitorar direitinho o ciclo menstrual e todas as fases.
buen precio y calidad
Ótimo produto e compra excelente pela Amazon, entrega rápida e confiável. Estou no início do uso, porém o relógio é muito confortável e bonito, fácil pareamento e utilização pelo aplicativo.
