Review: Great product! - I am very happy with this watch. I have
previously owned a FitBit so I have been comparing the two. I
really like this watch and it's half the price of a FitBit. There
are a lot of settings in the app that you need to make sure to
change to fit your needs -how often you want heart rate measured,
allow access to contacts, make sure you receive notification of
text messages and notifications in any other apps that you want
to receive. I just received a notification through Google on my
watch about a tornado warning, so that was nice! I have a Google
pixel phone and it works well with the watch. A couple of
differences I noticed between this and the Fitbit are: constant
heart rate tracking - this one tracks on intervals which you can
set as you want to (1 min, or 10 mins) whereas the Fitbit tracks
constantly. Yeah can also track heart rate on demand with the
watch. Also this one tracks calories burned during activity
whereas the Fitbit estimates the calories burned throughout the
day. However I will say that the Fitbit was always grossly
overestimating my calories burned anyway, so that feature was of
no value to me. The Fitbit I had would often tell me I burned
2500 calories during the day. I am a 5'3 women, if I based my
diet around that and ate 2500 calories I would gain a LOT of
weight. I should be eating more like 1700 calories, even on days
I exercise. So to me that feature on the Fitbit is not accurate.
The band is comfortable and the watch face size is perfect - not
too big or small. Battery life seems to be really good. I only
lost should 10% of the battery charge throughout the day and I
received a lot of notifications. Anyway this is a good quality
product at a great price. I personally don't see much advantage
with a FitBit over this and this is half the price. If you aren't
very tech savvy then have someone help you with setting up the
app and changing settings etc. to fit your needs.
Review: This Band's Usefulness Grows on You - 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/Freestyle WEATHER gives you current local conditions and
forecast for the next six days.
Temperature/Humidity/Level/Quality EVENTS 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.
