hey welcome back to the channel today I'm super pumped to bring you my
amazement review the Amazfit Bip is an affordable feature pack Fitness watch
with incredible battery life so here we go alright so Before we jump into the
review I wanted to thank Amazfit for sending this out to me for it to review
and not only did they send this out but I worked with them to get three more to
give away to you my audience because I love you guys so much I really
appreciate the support I recently hit two thousand subs and I just wanted to
thank you by doing a giveaway I'll have more details at the end of the video for
that as well as all the information down in the description so some of my
favorite smartwatches of all time were the pebble line of smartwatches the
reason for this was the great battery life and feature set that they had but
they were lacking some fitness tracking capabilities and then they came out with
pebble health that I thought would be the answer to that but it was really
kind of this disappointing it was really basic it didn't work all that well the
reason why I'm telling you this is because when I put on the Amazfit Bip
and started using it the only thing I could think of is it's everything that I
wanted pebble health to be and so much more so at the time of this video the
Amazfit Bip comes in four different colors there's onyx black which is the
one we're reviewing in this video there's also cinnabar red white cloud
and Kokoda green so the most prominent feature on the Amazfit Bip is that 1.28
inch always-on color display it's got Corning
Gorilla Glass 3 so it has excellent scratch resistance and it's very
readable in direct sunlight no problem at all inside it's got backlighting so
there's no problem reading it inside in low-light either the watch band that
comes on the bip is a rubberized band that feels very nice and the clasp is
very tight it's not gonna come off I've never had it come off during any
activity or during the day and the nice thing is that it's a standard 20
millimeter watch band so you can buy one off the shelf and put it on your VIP and
use it just fine they sell some that are customized specifically for the bit but
you can buy any of them that are 20 millimeter and use it no problem at all
so I already mentioned the screen and the only other things on the watch are
the single button and that's used for some menu navigation as well as turning
on the device and then around on the back
is the heart rate sensor and the connection port for the charging cradle
now the watch snaps right into the charging cradle it's a very solid snap
and there's no doubt that it's seated correctly when you get it in there
so as thin and light as this watch is it's packed with all kinds of sensors
it's got a barometer it's got a 3-axis accelerometer, gps and glonass, compass
and that heart rate sensor that I mentioned. It's IP 68 certified and all
this at just 1.1 ounces, so it feels like you're wearing almost nothing on your
wrist even with all that functionality packed into it. Now the watch has a
really good combination of fitness tracking capabilities as well as
SmartWatch capabilities you can sync your notifications with it so basically
any app that supports notifications you can sync that over to your watch you get
incoming calls and text messages now you can't reply to any of those messages on
the watch itself you have to use the the phone to reply to those and you can't
load music on it and there's no way to control your music from here but for the
notifications and things like that it actually works really well so in
addition to the SmartWatch capabilities it's also got some really nice fitness
tracking capabilities now it does all this basic stuff you would expect tracks
your steps and your calories all that stuff that like a Fitbit or something
would do it's also got some more advanced activities built into it that
you can track on the watch and those include running on a treadmill outdoor
running outdoor walking and outdoor biking all those outdoor activities use
the GPS or GLONASS and it's really solid it usually gets a connection within 30
seconds and then once it locks that connection it's completely solid I've
never had an instance where the tracking was off or it lost the tracking
completely it's been rock-solid and it's really nice to be able to get those
detailed metrics that are available by using the GPS for your tracking and also
go and see the path that you either ran walked or biked during your activity now
as I mentioned when I was talking about the pebble one of the things that I
really look for in any wearable device is long battery life and this does not
disappoint now Amazfit says that in basic watch mode you'll get about 45
days and I I'd say that's pretty accurate and basic
watch mode is basically just using it as a watch getting very few if any
notifications and you know maybe see you seeing who's calling and that's about it
not using the GPS and stuff like that if you're going to get you know your calls
and text messages on there and maybe some really really light GPS usage you
can get anywhere from three week three to four weeks of usage in reality the
way I use it I'm getting about seven days which is phenomenal because what
I'm doing with that seven days is I'm using the GPS for at least 30 minutes a
day and I get my calls and text messages on there but I also get my Twitter and
Instagram and Facebook basically all my social media feeds those notifications
come in to my watch and I get those notifications pretty frequently it's
amazing that I can still get like six to seven days on one charge even with all
that activity and then if I cut down that activity it even extends that that
battery life even longer which is phenomenal in my opinion so as you can
see a lot of that information that you want in the activity history is
available on the watch but if you sink to the meet fit app you can get a much
deeper view of those activities and things like sleep tracking and all that
the me fit app is a really nice app it gives you a day at a glance that shows
you your sleep tracking your recent activities how many steps you've gone
and then you can go into any of those activities you can go into the sleep or
the you know your activity and see more detail about that specific area and then
you can even go in as deep as seeing the track that you ran during the activity
it'll overlay it on a map it's actually really really nice it's free and it's
available for Android and iOS I'm not going to go into too more too much more
detail on the app I'm gonna do a separate video on that because there's
several amazed fit devices that use that same app so I'll link to it up here I'll
put a card when that's done and you can go check that out so with the price the
mix of SmartWatch and Fitness watch capabilities I would say this is a
really really good option for anybody that wants a really lightweight
no-nonsense watch that tracks your activities and you can get your
notifications and your your calls you can reject calls and stuff like that
from it anybody that's looking for a basic device like that I can definitely
definitely recommend the Amazfit Bip, the battery life alone makes it worth
looking into this device alright so let's talk about the giveaway so I have
