User reviews
I love this smart watch! So far. This is my first smart watch so can't compare it to name brands at more than twice the price. But so far it's pretty amazing at this price point. I now find myself a little addicted to tracking my workouts and health data. The phone app is robust and easy to use. Battery life is definitely not 9 days unless you use the watch only for telling time. More like 3-4 days. But it charges pretty fast. I wear it almost all the time, including swimming and showering, and it's worked flawlessly so far. I've also banged it hard enough I thought for sure I scratched the screen. But the screen is still crystal clear. I'll try to remember to write a longer term review, but so far excellent performance and quality.UPDATE:So far so good. Still wearing it all the time, but did manage to scratch the screen. TIP: Don't wear your Amazfit watch while installing a trailer hitch. Considering I raked it across rough metal, the watch face was still pretty tough. The watch is still working flawlessly. It continues to report back all the data from my workouts and my sleep patterns. It tells me when it needs to be charged, when it needs to offload data to my phone. It also tells me to stand up and do exercises when I've been sitting too long. Dozens of watch faces to choose from as well. It's the only smartwatch I've ever owned so can't compare to anything else, but at just under $70 it's still pretty amazing.
Unbeatable value, limited features keep it from being a distraction. TL;DR: I bought the Bip U Pro for $60 about a month ago, and I've really enjoyed my first month wearing it and am glad that I bought it. It does everything I want it to and very little that I don't need it to.The watch is very light, but still feels solidly built. The stock watch band is OK, but was cutting into my wrist a bit during extended wear, so I bought a nylon / velcro band for $8 and now I'm almost completely unaware I'm wearing it. The screen is bright and responsive, and registers my swipes and touches consistently. The raise-to-wake feature works 90% of the time, but could be slightly improved.The watch is perfect for me in that it provides accurate activity tracking and some other simple information (like weather and time), without any distractions. I have it connected to my phone through the Zepp app (which is surprisingly decent and has improved even in the last month), but I don't have any of my notifications sent to my watch. The only times that my watch vibrates and notifies me are when it detects that I have been sitting for a while and it encourages me to stand up and do some exercises, which is helpful!GPS, heart-rate tracking and step-counting have all been accurate in my experience, tracking my outdoor runs and indoor workouts seamlessly. My activity syncs automatically with Strava, which simple to set up. There are a good variety of watch faces (~50), and some of them are customizable with different activity metrics or information, which is also great. There are a decent number of apps / features in the app menu, ranging from a Pomodoro Timer to a breathing trainer to Amazon Alexa. Most have been simple to understand and use, but I haven't found myself using them often.The one really killer feature that I have mostly taken for granted (because it's so non-invasive!) is the unbelievable battery life. The watch arrived at ~50% battery, and even with all the messing around with the watch and setup that I did in the first week, it still lasted a good week. Since then, I have charged it only twice, getting upwards of 10 days per charge. My wife has an Apple Watch Series 3, and she has to charge it much more frequently, which gets annoying.Overall, great buy with a few minor flaws that don't impact the functionality of the watch. Buying this has made me more aware of my activity (or lack thereof), but hasn't provided any further distractions and is almost invisible in my daily life. Big win in my book.
Affordable & feature rich smart watch. This was purchased as a gift for someone who's not really tech savvy. I have been a loyal Fitbit user for the past 7 years and currently own the Fitbit Sense which is the current top of the line Fitbit (I previously owned the Fitbit Versa). This Amazfit Bip U Pro surpringly has a lot of the same features as my Fitbit but at a fraction of the cost. I stay with Fitbit because most of my friends & coworkers use it so we can challenge each other and it's just easier to purchase accessories. Now back to the Amazfit... I like that you can take an SpO2 measurement anytime, unlike my Fitbit which only measures SpO2 at night when I'm sleeping and then it shows a reading. The Amazfit has other features that the Fitbit doesn't have such as a compass, way more activity tracking, it can control music from your phone and also act as a camera shutter for your phone. I like that you can create custom vibration patterns for your alerts (like for calls, texts, app notifications). The battery life is longer but that all depends on how your watch set up (screen time out length, vibration length, how often your heart rate is checked, etc). The one drawback for me with the Amazfit is that you cannot reply back to a text message or social media messages (not even with preset messages). You can reply with a preset message only when you get a phone call (you cannot answer a call from the watch or answer it until you get to your phone. It only gives you the option to silence, hang up or reply with text option). My Fitbit can reply to texts with preset messages or I can talk to text and reply that way which is wonderful. I can also answer my calls and talk through the Fitbit as long as my phone is within distance. If the Amazfit incorporated those features in the future, I may actually switch to Amazfit. I did see a more expensive version of the Amazfit at my local big box store so maybe in the future it will be more popular. I have heard good things about the Amazfit years ago but wasn't too keen on ordering something online without physically seeing or touching it in person. So when I saw a similar version at the store, I figured I'd give it a try and purchase it as a gift. The recipient loves the watch, it was purchased as a replacement smart watch so this one definitely has way more features (recipient previously used the iTouch Air SE and the screen became unresponsive to touch and the heart rate tracker stopped working). The Zepp app for the Amazfit isn't really too intuitive as many reviewers have mentioned but if you play around with it it's not too bad. I still prefer the Fitbit app better but if you've never had a smart watch before, you may not even notice a difference. I like that the Amazfit uses a standard watch band size so you don't necessarily have to order a replacement band marketed for the Amazfit. You just need to purchase the correct sized watch band. The Amazfit charges magnetically and you'll appreciate that the charging cord is fairly long especially compared to my Fitbit. The magnet only connects in one direction so there's no guessing if it attached correctly so you don't end up with an uncharged watch accidentally. The Amazfit is light and does feel cheaper than my Fitbit but maybe the more expensive Amazfit version is made with better materials (like not as much plastic). I do like the button on the Amazfit, it's much easier to press than the hepatic button on my Fitbit. As I mentioned before, I think the Amazfit is a good contender in the smart watch world. There are many models to compare depending on what features are more important to you. I would probably continue purchasing the Amazfit as gifts since it's much more affordable for all the features it comes with.
Muito bom o produto eu recomendo
I am impressed by this watch. Which satisfies my needs of heart rate monitoring interval down to 5 minutes and sleep monitoring etc. The watch face display is great and rich of choices. App on mobile phone works well. Detailed explanations of all definitions, concepts are helpful. I have not used many of the functions it provides, e.g. sports settings, msgs, warnings etc. so I cannot make comments on them. The charging is easy and battery life is good even with my intensive sampling intervals. What are not clear to me are how I can get my blood pressure, blood oxigen, ECG etc. measurements. Do I get them manually? There are no instructions provided. I especially like the side button on the watch which gives me sure access and display for frequent needed data right away. Other watches always leave me frustration when I need to see the time, or the current heart rate, or battery remaining %. This button is a sure, instant access which I like very much. This time I have a good choice of the make and type of smart watch monitor after 3 others used in the past year.
Es un buen reloj para el buen precio por el que se maneja, buenas funciones, aunque estaría bien que pudiera almacenar música y el sensor SpO2 pudiera ser más preciso, Alexa no funciona, siempre marca un error de red, pero fuera de eso el GPS es muy preciso y la aplicación ZEPP es muy fácil de usar y muy precisa, buen tamaño y la pantalla clara sin ser Amoled
1) GPS feature is why you buy this watch. No need to link with phone. Accurate gps tracking. Sometimes, gps signal gets lost but overall no complaint. Only suggestion is that requires a little personalization. If the user could personalize the after report, it would be great.2) spo2 stress are ok but not accurate so it's a flip. Bp monitor is good. All day tracking is there.3) battery - if Full function used, then maybe 4-5 days but if used normally then 6-7 days and sometimes 8-9 days. So battery depends on how one uses. I feel that initial stage when you buy and set all functions on,then 4-5days later 6-7 day's.4) Todo function is shown in the zepp app but not available in watch.5) 1 flip side, not much watch'faces, though ok if you are not that choosy. But need wider range.6)Alexa is basic, so not worth discussing.7) One suggestion, could have added a calendar, it would have been very helpful.8) lots of small apps in-built, saves going to the phone. Big Plus.Overall,. A very good performance. Worth the 💸 money paid.
Watch (Bip U Pro) is great for price. I wanted it mostly for running and swimming and it is perfect for both. GPS works and watch is waterproof. Tons of features and I love that it includes dance in the workouts as I also do ballet.It is not a full smart watch in that it doesn't do things like let you answer calls or play music independently of phone. Personally, I'm not answering calls when working out, so I don't care, but if you need to be on the phone constantly then you might want to consider another model.Downsides? I have diagnosed sleep apnea. The sleep tracker doesn't seem to want to admit how bad my sleep is and gives very optimistic reports. It ignores all the wake ups and barely registers the breathing difficulties. Using the feature kills battery life.Finally, the phone app sucks royally. It barely serves a purpose and is not remotely intuitive. It would also be great if it could be synced with other fitness apps like My Fitness Pal.

First Impressions
The Xiaomi Amazfit Pace makes a solid first impression with proper packaging and a watch face that does not stand out excessively. It’s ideal for somebody who desires the attributes of a smartwatch with the rectangular face we tend to see on many models.
Every little thing you need to use the gadget is in the box. First, it contains the watch itself with the sports band attached. There’s also the micro USB wire and the dock for connecting the watch to the charger. There’s no power block included, so you’ll be required to utilize an existing one or free from your computer.
Combining the watch with a phone is incredibly simple. For screening, I used my iPhone 7S And also. Even though it’s an Android-based OS device (not Android Put on), it interfaces with my phone fairly well. The watch will lead you through the procedure, scanning a QR code to connect the phone and the watch.
Amazfit Pace Layout
Xiaomi selected a rounded watch face, which is bold when many other looks out there are square or rectangle-shaped. It’s a good appearance, though.
Most people I revealed the watch to did not realize I was wearing a smartwatch. If you want everyone to see your Apple Watch or another more in-your-face tool and immediately understand what you’re wearing, this may not be for you. If you want a comparable function set with a low-key style, you must consider it.
The Pace comes with an adjustable silicone selection band. I found it rather comfy, and the flexible nature implies it’ll fit just about any sized wrist.
As for colors, the watch itself is primarily black, and the band is black with orange accents. It’s fairly nice looking, but some users may find the orange a little more intense for their preferences. Luckily, it has a standard 22mm strap, so you can change it with one more band.
Display
There’s just one physical button on the Amazfit, and it’s utilized for power and waking it up from rest. You can enable an option to wake the gadget by double-tapping the touch screen. This will make it so you nearly never need to utilize the small button.
The watch face is 1.34 inches (3.4 centimeters), making it huge and adequate to read easily, but it is a little fair to let it keep that even more traditional watch design. The resolution is 320 x 300, so the text and the user interface appear sharp enough.
The Pace features a transflective screen. You can freely utilize it in the sun without stressing over the glow. This is undoubtedly valuable for a watch designed to be used while running.
On the back of the watch, you’ll locate both green lights that function as the heart rate display and four gold calls for docking and billing the watch.
Overall, the Amazfit Pace is an excellent-looking device from a layout point of view. Big enough watch-face to look all-natural on larger wrists, but not so big as to subdue a smaller-sized one.
Features
Allow us to explore the component that makes it wise – the characteristics. For a watch in this price array, it does a fair bit more than you’d expect. Its feature set includes a heart price display, step tracker, sleep monitoring, song control, phone notices, and more.
A heart rate display highlights you don’t usually see from more affordable smartwatches and physical fitness trackers. The reality is that keeping track of heart rate with a wrist-based device is notoriously challenging and must not be trusted for precise analyses. However, it still gives you a family member’s suggestion of your heart price contrasted to what it would typically be.
In my testing, it constantly revealed a lower heart price while resting. My resting rate often tended to fall between 65 and 75. While playing hockey, my heart rate was regularly over 100, which is where it must be.
In a much more nuanced examination, I took my heart price right as a trip was removed, as well as it checked out in the high 80s. This makes sense, as I get a little stressed about flying.
Functionalities
One of my favorite features is the capability to control songs and podcasts from the watch. The feature worked flawlessly with an Apple iPhone on an Android-based watch. It’s an excellent relief not to pull your phone out of your pocket to alter songs, stop the music, or readjust the quantity.
Nevertheless, I’m compelled to doubt the general accuracy of sleep monitoring. It did monitor the time I went to rest and the moment I stood upright, but the data in the center seemed suspicious. At least two evenings, I awakened to use the toilet in the middle of the evening. However, the data the following day said I spent no minutes awake. Not only was I awake, but I strolled 20 feet and back to get to my restroom.
The other significant functions function well. The step tracker was exactly concerning just how much I walk each day.
If you perform a desk job, you might like the feature that informs you when sitting long. I often tend to get lost working. The next point is that I recognize 4 hours have passed. With this, I obtain a little vibration, allowing me to recognize I ought to stretch my legs. And also, if that sounds bothersome to you, do not worry. You can transform it off!
There are 21 different watch faces to pick from, many of which are entirely different. You’ll find some minimalist layouts with just the moment, as well as many more great faces that tell you your recent heart price, steps, battery level, and lots of even more info. Many of the faces can be found in various shades so that you can fine-tune the watch’s appearance.
You can get alerts of text messages, telephone calls, and various other applications. Nonetheless, you can not engage with them. That suggests you can’t react to any text you could get. Not that I would certainly intend to text from a tiny watch face consistently, but it would be good to have a quick option to let somebody recognize that I get on my method or leave a simple “alright.”.
Fitness
This smartwatch leans more on the physical fitness tracking side than the watch side of things. As such, we are required to dig in and look at the fitness monitoring features by themselves.
To access the health and fitness menu, swipe left from the major watch face and pick the activity. Now, the activities are mainly about running and biking, so if you’re doing something not on the checklist, you’ll need to pick the closest thing (for hockey, I chose elliptical, as it looked like the closest).
You’ll get constant heart rate tracking and many data points when you start an activity. Turning the GPS on, you can see the distance run, calories burned, time, and more.
When you open up the Amazfit application on your phone, you can sync data from your workouts and better understand exactly how you did it.
Standard exercise plans will remind you when to venture out and even work out. This is an excellent feature for anyone who needs a little direction and a pointer that it’s time to reach work.
I am more than happy with the health and fitness monitoring features, yet I wish it had extra activities. Still, that’s something you can most definitely function about, especially considering how much extra you’ll conserve by choosing this gadget over something like an Apple Watch, Fitbit Ionic, or Garmin.
Daily Usage
Now that we’ve spoken about what the watch can do, we must look at what it’s like to deal with the Amazfit Pace daily.
While not the best, I’m reasonably happy with the watch. Using the watch for two weeks, aside from a pair of small complaints, it did explicitly what I wanted it to do.
After putting on the watch (consisting of rest), I must say it is very comfortable. Not only that, however, it looks quite stylish no matter the setting. It’s likewise very light, so I neglected it. It was also there a lot of the time.
As pointed out in the past, I’m not so sure just how accurate sleep monitoring is. However, it’s still nice to get a basic suggestion of the number of hours I rested the night before.
Mentioning resting, I’m a little deep sleeper, so the alarm was insufficient to wake me up. I needed a loud siren to draw myself up, and a light resonance on the wrist just didn’t cut it for me. Your gas mileage may differ there. However, I’d recommend establishing a backup alarm for the first night until you’re sure Amazfit is loud enough.
Battery life
I discovered that I got approximately two days of life with the heart rate monitoring set to the continuous mode setting in my screening. With that off, I could get closer to six days, which is great.
Again, while not without a few problems, using the look for an extensive amount of time affirmed what I believe – this is an excellent device for the price.

User reviews
Simple and affordable. I bought this to go with a newly purchased Android phone. All I wanted was text and call notifications, not really interested in tracking exercise. I watched a few reviews and was surprised to find out that a lot of people really like this watch. I guess the great part is the price and the functionality can't be beat, as well as the charge time. I have an Apple watch for my old iPhone that I love, so without buying another expensive watch, this serves a different purpose for me and I feel like I don't have to be careful with it, it's got a bright and crisp display on the watch face that is easy to read. I think it will be interesting to try some of the tracking features. It's just a fun watch that's very affordable and I love the green color!
Awesome watch. I love this fitness tracker. I mostly use it for a step counter and to monitor my sleep. It does both of those accurately. The battery life is great. I only charge it once a week. I also love that I can put in reminders and alarms. There is also a find phone feature on it. I use it all the time. Perfect when you always misplace your phone. Lol. The app is fine. There's not really anything special about it. It's not hard to navigate and it's easy to set up everything for your watch and keep track of everything.
Great inexpensive watch. I really enjoy this watch. It's very easy to use and is stylish. I've had a few people comment on it looking like an apple watch.The app is very user friendly as well.The only thing I really dislike is the high heart rate alert. It is NOT very accurate at all. For instance sitting on the couch at home watching tv and itll say my bpm is 126, and 15min. Later itll say 54 bpm is too high and I haven't done anything different.I do wish I could turn that feature off.
Get shield protection for it. I use rhino skin shield screen protectors. Had I not had that on my watch I would have had a huge scratch across it. I don't even know what I hit but needless to say I just changed the screen protector and it saved my watch face. I've had this watch for one year and 2 months. This is an excellent watch for workouts, heart rate...too many things to list. I connected it to Zep and I'm very pleased with the results. I highly recommend this watch!
Nice Lil Watch. This is a nice little watch. It was fairly cheap for a smartwatch and can do all the things I want it to do. It buzzes when I get a text or a call and says who it's from and what the texts say. It tells time. It can measure my heartbeat and what not. I haven't used the exercise functions much, which I expected. I liked it enough that I got one for my mom for Christmas as well.
Misleading in some aspects. Great watch. But it's not as "customizable" as they advertise. There are very few watch face options, no option to add your own, double notifications on everything once you look at your phone.Overall a great product, but if I had known it was less customizable, I would have spent the extra $30+ for a more advanced customization option.
Great inexpensive watch with lots of options. This little watch is easy to wear and very inexpensive. I was surprised at the number of options considering the price. I use it for my step count, date/time/day etc, heart rate, pulse ox, stress, incoming calls, text notifications, and to monitor my sleep habits.Don't expect it to compare to the pricy smart watches (the $200+) because it doesn't, but it is exactly what I wanted and needed without the price.
Worked fine -- until it didn't. Zero product support. Worked great -- until it didn't. I used this watch daily for about 5 months. Then one day it started to buzz randomly, and the next day it was dead. Would not respond to charging, resetting, etc. Just totally dead.I followed all the troubleshooting guides I could find on the internet, but nothing worked. The company's website says they will honor a 1-year warranty, but "please contact through your original seller", and there is no way to send a message to the seller through Amazon. There is also no way to contact the company directly through their website. Zero product support available.During the time when the watch *did* work:--Heart rate monitor was adequate, but would "drop" counts.--Step counter picked up my steps about 75% of the time. Usually I would need to start walking at a good pace for about 20 seconds before the watch would begin counting steps at all -- so I could spend an entire day on my feet, moving back and forth 5-10 steps in a small space, and the watch would count 0 steps.--The proprietary app is ... OK. Sync between the watch and the app is buggy.--When I sweat with the watch on, my skin got a rash.--The watch was able to sync notifications with my Android phone for a few oddball apps (MS Teams), but not ordinary notifications like text messages or emails (not useful!)
Smartwatch de buena calidad, se puede usar para llevar registros de natación.Buscaba un dispositivo que pudiera usar para registrar sesiones de natación. El reloj funciona muy bien, se conecta al teléfono sin problema y recibe notificaciones.Además que es muy extensa la sección de actividades y ejercicios que puede registrar, funciona en la playa y en actividades acuàticas.La bacteria dura casi 5 dìas. (dependiendo de la actividades y uso)
Good product, was a gift and it was loved by all.
Stesse funzioni e grafica di modelli più economici. Più che uno smartwatch è un giocattolo. Grafica anni 80, non misura nulla in modo affidabile e per niente intuitivo. Mi ha ricordato il Tamagotchi, ma all'epoca non costavano 86€....non scherziamo!
Hasta el momento me ah resultado funcional, buena medición de signos y estos siendo comparados con la toma en pulsoximetro. Sus opciones para ejercicio son variadas y muy buenas, solo puedo decir que como detalle es que al estar en modo entrenamiento no puedes usar nada más por que cancelas ese modo, por ejemplo poner modo pesas y querer usar el cambio de canción o subir volumen o quizás querer poner la cuenta atrás para registrar el descanso entre series no te lo permite. De ahí en delante en estestetica se ve muy bien con distintas caratulas, exclente brillo que se nota en el sol. Muy buena opción por precio. Recomendable. Por cierto ya eso de que te lleguen notificaciones como no es algo para lo que yo lo requería no puedo dar reseña de ello solo en lo del ejercicio
I ordered on behalf of my friend who wanted her 90+ year old mother to have a device to track her oxygen level because her unvaccinated mother got Covid last month but had fully recovered. The watch fits comfortably and works well for her mother. She is happy that she can monitor the vital essentials on the app constantly.
Pros:
- GPS and GLONASS for a low price: The watch offers both GPS and GLONASS tracking capabilities at an affordable price point.
- Accurate distance: The distance tracking during activities like running is accurate.
- Decent battery life: The battery life is commendable, lasting around four days with standard use, including about an hour of GPS tracking.
Cons:
- OS lacks refinement: The watch’s operating system feels less polished than other smartwatches.
- Poor display and backlight: The display quality is not up to the mark, appearing washed out with a blueish tint. The backlight also doesn’t adjust well to different lighting conditions.
- Fiddly wake-up button: The watch requires pressing a specific button to wake up the screen before using the touchscreen, which can be inconvenient.
Overall, the Amazfit Pace is a budget-friendly GPS running watch that covers the basics. While it has some shortcomings, it offers decent value for its price. If you’re looking for a GPS running watch without breaking the bank, the Amazfit Pace might be a consideration. However, other options in the market might offer a more refined experience for a slightly higher budget.
