Update: I’ve now owned this watch for 3 months. Still doing great. Not a scratch on the face, and I’m pretty rough on my watches. Battery holding strong. I’ve become more attached to this watch than I ever was ti my Apple Watch. Very happy with my purchase.Original review: Let me preface my review with the fact that I’m a iPhone user. I’ve had most revisions of the Apple Watch and I’m not a fan. I think they’re blocky, poorly designed and not masculine. So I’ve tried many different watches over the years with varying success. I loved the Samsung watches until they became incompatible with IOS but their battery life was terrible.So I decided to give this watch a try. I was considering buying their more expensive military fitness watch for $400, but after comparing features and aesthetics, it was hard to justify the extra expense. So let’s talk about this watch.First, it’s shockingly light and has a really big, bright watch face. It’s also very thin. It fits very comfortably on my wrist. I wear my watch upside down so the fact is on the underside of my wrist. As such, the face is much more prone to scratches. I’m happy to report that after more than a month of use, not a single scratch is visible.The watch has a protruding dial button as well as a recessed button, in addition to the touchscreen. I rarely use the recessed button but the crown button is handy, but I wish it didn’t protrude as much. Sometimes when I curl my wrist, it powered off the watch. I’ve made small adjustments when I wear it, and it seeks to have resolved that issue.The watch face is very bright and incredibly responsive. The battery is astonishing. Ilas you set up the watch, it lets you know if you’re selecting an option that drains the battery faster. I’m a power user, so I pretty much have everything maxed out and I still get about 6 days battery life.I was also concerned, as per reviews, that the readings are inaccurate, especially the sleep readings. I’ve found them to be quite accurate. I spent two days with my Apple Watch on one wrist and this watch on the other. The readings were within 1% consistently. I’m pretty sure they’ve resolved many of the issues via upgrades to the watch. I feel this watch gives me much more usable information than does the Apple Watch and I really like the companion app. It is very intuitive and works well with my phone.Overall I’m very happy with this watch. Not only is it a steal for the price, I would choose this over the Apple Watch. Be awareThat you cannot receive iMessages on this device. It’s a restriction from Apple and not the fault of this watch. As long as you connect this via Bluetooth, you can carry out most functions between your phone and watch that you would normally expect. My only complaint is I purchased the version with brown Watch band. The band is terrible and cheap. A poor choice considering how nice the watch is. Fortunately there are several cheap alternatives in Amazon so I won’t complain too much. Just be aware you’ll want a different band.You really won’t go wrong buying this watch for features, quality, functionality, aesthetics and price.

I bought this as a gift for my wife who doesn’t generally like smart watches or gadgets in general. I’m not sure that she’s really using it for much more than a watch, but she wears it everyday. It is a little big on her wrist, but she’s always like big chunky watches so I think she likes the style. I think compared to my Gramin 965, it may look a little more elegant and not quite as much like a smart watch or fitness tracker.I played around with it a little bit and the interface and feature set compare pretty well with my much pricier Garmin watch. I like having all the extra data and analysis I get with my Garmin, but for my wife who doesn’t run that often, it seems more than adequate.Overall I think it’s a good value.

This Android smartwatch does it all for a fraction of the price of the big-name watches. The battery runs easily 24 hrs, and under low load (just time, steps, etc.) it goes a full week between charges. It does all the stuff that fitness watches do (heart rate, oxygen level, sleep and other cycles, etc.). Plus GPS interface and links to your phone. Waterproof of course, and the round form factor looks good and comes with a surprisingly comfortable, quick-release silicon band in standart 21mm. I am blown away at the value of this watch.CONS: The downsides are few and small. The Zeff (formerly AmazFit) library of watchfaces is limited to dozens rather than hundreds (but who needs hundreds?), and likewise for third-party apps. The watch is also a music player, but the sound through watch speakers is tinny. But who plays music on their watch? It’s a slight hassle to change the phone’s bluetooth pairing from watch to earbuds and back, but that’s a problem with Bluetooth technology, not the watch.PROS: I already noted the incredible value for a feature-laden Android watch, but I admit I don’t use all its features. I use it for time (Yes, time!) and I’m very pleased with the fast response when I roll my wrist up to look at the watch. The watchface lights up within about 1 second, and that’s not even the most sensitive setting. I use it for alarms and reminders, and I use the pedometer. I like getting buzzed when I have a voice or text, since I often missed notifications when the phone was in my pocket. No more. I don’t use it for Dick-Tracy phone conversations, which seems weird and unnecessary. I put a free compass app on it which looks great on the round watchface and is useful when walking downtown. I don’t sleep with it so can’t report on sleep functions. I also don’t use the map or search functions, since my phone does those much better. In sum, while I do not use all the features this phone offers, at the price, it does more than 100% of what I want a smartwatch to do.

I cannot say enough good things about this watch. I have owned every type of smart watch from Apple, to Samsung, to FitBit and they all pale in comparison. First, it is a fairly stylish watch and looks like a regular wrist watch versus a dorky calculator watch/mini cellphone (sorry Apple). Second, it’s health/fitness featifar surpase the other brands in functionality and accuracy. Third, it is a fraction of the price of all of the other players and is easily worth 4x what you pay for it. Forth and best of all, is the amazing battery life. The fact that I can go weeks without charging and still get amazing functionality is almost unheard of. Why can’t the other players in this space even last a few days when this watch can go weeks?Admittedly, I had low expectations at the price point for this watch, but is seriously unbelievable. If you’re considering it, don’t walk, RUN and buy one! I promise you won’t regret the purchase.

I think the deciding factor for this watch was the battery life; I even use the always on feature and get more than a week on a charge. I can go longer than a week, but then I forget to charge – so I charge it every Sunday. There are a ton of paid watch faces, but plenty of free ones. Oh, get a screen protector – within a week, I smashed my watch, cracking the protector, but my watch is fine. The only down side is the step counter – unlike a Fitbit that counts EVERY step, the Amazfit does NOT start counting until your taken about ten steps, so it will not count all of the time on your feet, but it you are exercising, it will track it.
