The Amazfit wearables offer a ton of features in a pocket-friendly budget. T-Rex or GTS makes this feature as the best fitness watch. It also provides the longest battery life, which can impress the users.
This fitness tracker carries the tired and tested formula in the Huami. You can also see this Watch as the follow-up product of the Amazfit Bip which came in 2018, and the look of the Watch looks slightly similar to the Apple watch. The company has decided to stick to its lightweight body and the design. In this smartwatch, you might find better resistance mode and heart rate sensor with the all-new upgraded display. See all the things in detail.
What is the Amazfit Bip S?
It could be unfair to say Amazfit Bip S a smartwatch because it can’t work as the other leading smartwatches. Like they are incapable of making calls and also don’t support any third-party applications.
Even there are few tracking features packed in this Watch that you are going to know through this blog. You will only get swim tracking as the additional feature when compared to the previous model that was launched in 2018.
But one thing is quite commendable, and that is its battery life of 200mAh which promises to offer 40-days battery life along with the upgraded Bluetooth (5.0) and improved heart rate sensor. As mentioned earlier, the Watch doesn’t have the feature to respond to the call and notifications but can alert you about those notifications and calls.
Availability, Price, and competition of this Watch
Bad news for the US market as it is not officially available in the US market, but Gearbest can give you this Watch in just $79.99.
If you compare the price and features of this Watch with its competitors, then you might find it much cheaper than others. If you look to the other fitness tracker against this Watch are:
- Fitbit Versa 2 ($199)
- Fitbit charge 4 ($149.95)
- Garmin Vivosport ($193)
- Garmin Forerunner 45 ($149)
What is Good in Amazfit Bip S?
Usually, everyone has only one expectation from these kinds of fitness bands is that they will be accurate in the fitness tracker. At this point, the Amazfit Bip S works a lot, which makes it the best product in a pocket-friendly wearable. You might love the step tracking accuracy, which is pretty close to the big dogs like Apple Health application and Mi Band 4.
Accurate GPS and Steps tracker
You will get your exact step count in Amazfit Bip S as compared to the Mi Band. There will be a marginal difference on those wearables, but Amazfit Bip S is doing a great job. The Watch also can impress you regarding GPS features. The Watch has a Sony chip involved in it, which tracks your run and walks in just a few minutes.
Let’s assume that you have completed the 3km brisk walking session, then track your path. There are some issues that you will see in these screenshots, as when you have entered a building or complex, the tracker isn’t able to track you precisely. At this point, the company has to work, but overall, the GPS tracking feature in this Watch is quite decent.
Amazing Battery life
One of the biggest and the plus point of the Amazfit Bip S is its better battery life. After using the Watch for the eight days of usage of the Watch, you may be left with just 44% of battery.
If you are thinking and comparing this Watch with the Apple watch, there will be no comparison of these two watches as they are totally different from each other.
Now back to the battery part, as it is totally safe to say that Amazfit Bip S will give you 15 days battery life, which is quite good. If you use this Watch with their basic features, then you don’t need to charge the Watch in the next 40 days.
Trustworthy readings heart rate
If you talk about trustworthy heart rate tracking, then you might be quite decent in performing this task easily. The Watch also offers you to measure your heart rate change every minute. There is an optical sensor in-built in the Watch that gives you an accurate reading of your heart. The accuracy of the Watch is literally better than the Mi Band 4 and its competitors.
The Watch also offers you some useful data for you like average, minimum and maximum heart rate of the day. You can also track your heart rate in real-time, which will prove too helpful for you. The Watch will not disappoint you on its tracking part.
What’s not Good in Amazfit Bip S?
All things go in a good direction until you want to use the application. Connectivity is a big issue; the reasons are:
Poor connectivity to the Application
Whenever you open the application, it will take a few minutes to show the latest data fetched from your Watch. Sometimes, your phone restarted automatically, so in that case, the situation gets worse. As after starting the phone, you might need to unpair it manually to pair it again. Doing this thing is annoying for anyone.
According to Huami, it might be a Firmware Bug, and they will update this later on with any software update.
Sometimes, it refuses to pair with some phones like the iPhone SE. But after uninstalling and installing twice, the problem might get a solution, and you might be able to pair it with your phone. Some issues can occur with the Google Pixel 3. So, the company needs to work in this area.
Amorphous updates
The company doesn’t have any specific way to update the software of the Bip S. Sometimes, the Watch will automatically start updating and try to fix the bugs, without your knowledge. In some cases, these updates may take longer time to update and render the application.
No Music controls
The small but noticeable issue is there is no music control. It means you can’t change the music from the Watch during the workout or running. Even the Watch doesn’t offer a multitasking feature that implies during a workout you aren’t able to perform functions other than tracking options.
Don’t able to record some workouts
The Application doesn’t offer to record the freestyle workouts like Yoga and dancing. Although the company was advertising this thing on their website, it is not useful during this time, when the gym is closed, and everyone stays at home without a treadmill and weights.
The Final Verdict
It is one of the best fitness trackers at a budgetary price. With this Watch, you will get the accurate tracking, lightweight Watch, water-resistant ability and a decent display. Buying this Watch might prove a good deal if you can handle the connectivity issue.
If the upcoming firmware update can resolve all the issues with the software of the Watch, then it is a must-buy product at a low price. Even it is hard to find a watch that can-do lot of stuff for you with water-resistant and decent battery life. There is the only issue, which is the connectivity issue.
