This fitness tracker is easy to use and has many options for tracking activity. I use the GPS tracking for walking/hiking, riding my bicycle, and doing step aerobics. The one drawback is that it does not have an option for pickleball or tennis, both popular sports. It will track my heart rate when I play but it’s not specific for that activity. Also, I’m not totally sold on the accuracy of the sleep monitoring, but it does provide some feedback that I’ve found useful. (It says I had a good night’s sleep when I don’t necessarily wake up feeling refreshed). It seems to be accurate for counting how many steps I take. I like that you can customize the watch face (I just found this out! Still discovering new things with this device). It can track your heart rate and oxygen saturation but not blood pressure. I find the PAI (Personal Activity Intelligence) useful – it gives updated information on how much you exercise in a week. It’s an easy-to-understand activity tracking metric that can help you manage your health. You can google PAI Amazfit for more information. As a Senior citizen pushing 70, I appreciate a device that has plenty of options, but not so many that I get overwhelmed.

I started a new job that required me to be on my feet all day, move around a lot, and wash my hands constantly. It was important to me to have a waterproof watch so I could time certain aspects of my job. I wanted a cheap waterproof watch, and after trying two different 20 dollar watches from The Mart of Wal that both lasted less than a week, I decided to purchase this. I didn’t care about tracking anything, I just wanted something cheap but durable that could handle being roughed up and exposed to water that would still tell the time.This thing is amazing for that purpose, but I wouldn’t want to rely on it to accurately track biometrics.I’ve knocked my hand/wrist/arm into walls, pipes, sinks, toilets, desks, doorways hard enough on multiple occasions to wince and be convinced I accidentally cracked the screen. The screen is still flawless, and I didn’t put any sort of protector on it. I’ve washed my hands enough to turn them red, submerged this watch, wiped it with lysol orisopropyl alcohol to disinfect it, accidentally slathered it in lotion, and it’s come clean and still works perfectly every time. In fact, after a few months of use, it looks just the same as the day I bought it.11/10 for durability.However, sometimes this thing misreads. One time I had it sitting in the pouch on the front of my lunchbox at work for a few hours, and it decided my heart rate was 40 BPM during those hours despite me not even being in the same room. (Unless my lunchbox has come to life?) Sometimes the device decides my heartrate is 120 while I’m sitting down, or 50 while I’m on my feet, and when I check my pulse with a blood pressure cuff I have in the house, it is most definitely normal. Overall the baseline pulse seems somewhat accurate, it just spikes and falls once or twice a day seemingly at random. The blood oxygen sensor seems to be bamboozled if I’m sweaty or have just washed my hands. One time I was sitting watching TV, and when I got up the watch decided that during the time I was watching TV I was actually asleep and it cheerfully informed me of my ‘nap’ biometrics.The one set of readings that seems pretty accurate is the step counter / pedometer. It wasn’t a feature I was looking for but now that I have it I like to wear it even when I don’t need a watch (mowing the lawn, etc) just to see how many steps I’m putting it.If you have a health condition that requires accurate information, or are serious about tracking, look elsewhere. If you want the world’s most durable waterproof watch, this is it. If you’re curious but not serious to see your pulse or other readings, and don’t need them to be medically accurate, this is probably a good place to start with a basic tracker.The custom backgrounds are a nice perk, but I like having my pedometer information and the current weather displayed on the face, and none of the custom watch face templates have that so I’ve stuck with the default one. Customize-ability in this is basic but still way more than I was expecting since I bought this just looking for a cheap watch.It’s also been EXTEREMELY comfortable to wear. I hate having jewelry on me, won’t even wear my wedding ring because I hate the feel of something on my skin like that, but this doesn’t bother me unless I’m particularly sweaty.Highly recommend, unless you’re looking for accuracy.

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.

I am very pleased with my Amazfit. It receives notifications, even though I can’t respond to them. I always carry my phone with me, so this is what I wanted. I like the Zepp app, even though there are things behind as paywall that I think should be included without charge.Some individuals in other reviews complained about the band not staying snapped and or getting caught on things that cause it to unsnap. I removed the watch body and rotated it 180 degrees so it snaps the opposite way and I’ve had no trouble with it.Other than the touch sensitivity being a little suspect at times – swiping sometimes takes two or three attempts – it does what is advertised and I would strongly consider buying one again if I were in the market.

like with everything, I did a lot of research. The Fitbit inspire 3 and this have the same sized “pebble,” meaning that the electronic square is exactly the same size. Fitbit is owned by Google and you are severely limited and what you can put on your tracker. For example, no Apple Music, no Spotify. you can only get YouTube music with the YouTube premium membership, not that you need it since your phone needs to be handy for the pairing. That said, this device has great visuals, is super customizable, and was an effective tracker. Also half the price of the Fitbit inspire 3. My only issue is that I was obsessed with having a smaller pebble and ended up returning this to get a used charge 6, but I don’t like it better. I just like that it’s a little smaller. One of my favorite things on a fitness tracker is having the option to meditate with vibration for a certain number of minutes. This has that and Fitbit has taken it off so that’s reason enough to get this.

My Fitbit Charge 4 was at EOL. I could barely see the screen and getting it to sit properly in the charging cable was increasingly an exercise in frustration. I was ready to pull the trigger on a Charge 6, but because I purchased an Amazfit GTS 2 for hubby, the Amazfit Band 7 came up in my suggestions. I hadn’t looked at Amazfit because I wanted something a little more “feminine” looking than the Amazfit GTS 2. The Band 7 was a little more to my liking style wise. Feature wise, I can do everything I was doing with my Charge 4. My ONLY complaints are minor.1. The watch face option I selected shows EVERYTHING in English except the Month and day of the week (I THINK they are in Portuguese) I’ve learned to adapt, but it would be nice to be able to correct this to be all ONE language.2. Not enough replacement band options. I LOVED being able to change the bands out on my Charge 4 because I could swap out the band to match my mood/outfit/activity. I have TWO that I can swap between day or night looks, but there really aren’t enough options and there are NO blingy options. (not a deal breaker, but a SERIOUS nice to have for me..)

I started with the first fitbit model.When my last fitbit up and died, a pattern, I knew that I needed to try something else. I honestly purchased this on price-point, thinking I could begin the search for a ‘higher end’ watch.Search over. I love this watch. Great interface. Bright enough to see in daylight … even with my aged eyes.Light and not a bulky ‘block’ on your arm. (Active people know the difference.) Every function and sensor I ever really looked at on my last watch and more.I spend most of my time in the outdoors. If this thing gives up on me within the next year, I will update. (Even if it is my fault … I will ‘fess up’.) This is my wife’s next watch. (She HATES how dim her current, you guessed the brand, is.)Still getting used to the app, but absolutely zero complaints about the interface. Fast.My only issue is lack of support for my 2 year old Samsung tablet. Bummer. A larger display really helps for a large segment of your customers. Give my mid-50’s eyes tablet compatability. (And we may be a bit slow to upgrade.) That is the sole negative i have found.Solid buy.

I just bought a Fitbit not too long ago, and I was less than impressed. I just received my Amazfit Band 5 today, and I can already tell I’m getting more bang for my less expensive buck! If you’re on the fence, just take the plunge. You will seriously love this little tracker! More features and more faces for those of us that like to customize very often!! I’ve already changed the band on it because I’m a little fashion spoiled, and I couldn’t be happier!! As far as functionality, this tracker has it all!

I thought I’d try this out after my fitbit charge 5 quit working after 6 months and they wouldn’t honor the warranty on it. I have to say that I see no difference in functionality or the app than what my charge 5 had. This has everything I need for a lot less cost. If this lasts longer than 6 months I’d say its great, but I’m hoping it’ll go a couple years. The app is actually really great and I like that I can easily change the watch face with lots options. I bought an off brand band for it since I don’t like plastic bands and its very comfortable. I love how long the charging lasts on it. I do not want to charge everyday and this is about once per week. I turned on the blood oxygen reading and it warned me that the charge might not last as long but it really didn’t seem to affect it. The accuracy of all my tracking looks the same as the readings I was getting on the fitbit when I compare hear rate, blood oxygen, etc. I’m glad I gave it try. Very nice tracker for the cost! I recommend. I will update if I encounter any issues.

I’ve been wanting a watch the last few years and dilly-dallying about just getting a cheap $35 Timex. Anything more expensive, I’d worry about breaking or losing. I decided to get a cheap $49.99 Amazfit 7 Band health monitor/watch. The reasoning is, it’s only 15 bucks more than a Timex and it does other fun stuff. I decided to start at the low end of the cost spectrum to see how I like a simple watch and so far I LOVE it. The app also tracks all kinds of stuff. For fiddy bucks…totally worth it.I found out I can make my own watch face too. I figured out how to do the time and heart rate. I may add more stuff later on. My wife has a $250 Garmin watch that doesn’t do this.If you think you don’t need all the stuff a digital watch like this does, you’re wrong. It’s really amazing.
