AmazfitBip 3 Pro Smartwatch Fitness Watch Tracker with Heart Rate, SpO2 Monitor, 1.69" Large Color Display, Sports Watch with 60 Sports Modes, 14 Days Battrey Life, Pink

I bought the BIP3 pro to replace my amazfit band 5 which I found too small to read easily and this review is a quick first impression after unboxingThis is just the right compromise between not too big and clunky and easy to read and use, and comfortable to wear all day.Very easy to set up using QR codeI have used it for cycling on an excercise bike and it's way more accurate than the built in device on the bike for calories burned (apparently it uses heart rate O2 level to calculate) and is very close to values produced by a variety of online calculators.GPS automatically activates for activities which can use it, walking cycling etc so distance is accurately measured and not estimated from stride length and number of steps etc.Two watch faces are built in but more are available via the Zepp app and many more from non oem providers but the watch only "holds" two at any one time.I managed to coax 18 days battery life out of the band 5 and this can do about the same the way I have it set up.The Zepp app offered to sync my existing data from the band 5 with the BIP3 pro during setup.You don't need any subscription or account to use the tracker, nor do you need to share any data if you choose not to. In fact once set up you don't actually need the app if all you want is instantaneous real time data and are not bothered about logging or graphing long term, trends. goal setting etc.Very good if you're paranoid about privacy and data security like me!!At the end of a walk or training session or whatever you can simply read the data from the watch as you would from a pedometer say and leave it at that. Except this has so many more activities including swimming, cycling, skipping,treadmill, even yoga and dancing! Fortunately you can choose which functions to have on the watch via the app.The included guide only has instructions for setup so you you really do need a manual which thankfully you can download from Amazfit support in pdf format.Quick update:Having worn it as a watch and used it most days to monitor my indoor cycling (about 20mins/day) and walks to the pub using GPs including syncing with the Zepp App each day I am just recharging it for the first time after almost 3 weeks continuos use !

Been using a Garmin venu 2 and work as an engineer, had a couple of bear misses bashing it on metal things so wanted a cheaper watch that if the worst happened wouldn't be as heartbreakingI had the original bip and was blown away by it so when I saw there was a a bip 3 pro for around 60 quid it was a no brainer.It arrived in simple packaging with a short usb c charging cable it was practically fully charged out of the box. It does everything the Garmin does for a fraction of the cost. The step counter despite some reviews saying it was wildly out clocks in around the same as my Garmin which in all honesty I found a bit over generous with the tally, the vibration is strong for notifications and alarms and the screen is super clear which is a massive improvement from the original bip. The battery life easily hits ten days with all features enabled. I can't recommend this watch enough, if your thinking about getting one just do it you will not be disappointed

I got this to replace a Fitbit which I dislike. Looking at the features of the 2 I felt this was worth a chance, particularly as I'd had a Bip a couple of years ago and this model appeared to have fixed any shortcomings.I'm only a day in, but this does seem like a really decent watch/ tracker. The UI is better than the Fitbit's; the app is different but doesn't seem worse in any way- just needs getting used to. I prefer the screen Vs the Fitbit's. The unit itself is just much, much nicer.I'll be honest, I found this by chance. I'd seen adverts for a competitor and started looking into similar watches and then saw this with a tenner off so it seemed like a safe bet. I've now had 2 Fitbits and hated both. My first Bip was ok but forgettable. This seems like the best of all. Unless you want to pay the monthly subscription to Fitbit then this will give you the same "standard" data, but for half the price of the unit. Really, so far, I'm chuffed with this.Edit: I've had this for a couple of weeks now. I much prefer the sport tracking Vs the Fitbit- you get more info from this watch, the sort that you have to pay for elsewhere. You can see more data via the watch than you can on the Fitbit as well. I now have it linked to Strava - easy enough via the watch's app. Distance is accurate (edit: when it works!).Edit: I'm 3-4 months in now, and the GPS is a source of irritation. I've had perhaps a 20 percent fail rate with it, where it either doesn't pick up a position to start with or it randomly stops part way round the run. I'm not training for anything so it's not the end of the world, but having bought something because of it having GPS I'd like it to work.It's a real shame, because the benefits outlined at the start of the review are being eroded by failings with the GPS.

This is exactly what I need for my personal fitness. The app is very detailed. And the watch is easy to use and understand.Battery is good.Very happy with my order.

Great

I like the watch in all but one respect. I use the watch for tracking my daily walks and the heart rate monitor is just so inaccurate as to be useless. I have compared the watch against a heart rate chest strap and the readings from the watch are often nowhere near where they should be e.g. on a recent brisk walk the heart rate reading was over 170bpm, around my maximum heart rate. From my relatively gentle breathing at the time I would think around mid 90's would be nearer the mark.A week spent walking with both watch and heart rate chest strap confirmed how inaccurate the watch was.The GPS seems good and gets a fix quickly. The step counter seems accurate and notifications from my phone are easy to read on the watch. It is just the random number generator based heart rate readings that lets the watch down. Unfortunately there is no way to disable this feature.When I have compared heart rate readings while on a cycle trainer with a heart rate strap the watch has been accurate. It just seems to struggle if you move your arm. Not something you can avoid when walking.
