Super value for the price compared to others
This is my first smart watch, so I don’t know why paying hundreds of dollars for the name-brands would be worth it. I paid $75 for this on Black Friday and I have had it several weeks now and am very happy with its performance and battery life, available apps, and things it measures, and accuracy. This has the features of a digital watch for legibly telling time, day of week, and month and date. It has the features of a health tracker. It has afeatures of a workout watch. Everything is plenty accurate (do you really need a perfect measure of your heart rate, or just a relative one?); I’ve read that this brand has actually beaten the pricier competition in accuracy comparisons on steps. I find it quite accurate for steps and distance walked. Three things I don’t like: (1) screen does not stay on all the time to save battery. You have to shake your arm or push the side button to turn it on. That is annoying because I often just want to glance at my watch in the middle of doing things to see what time it is. I feel like they could make an optional mode that would use some sort of low power blacka nd white display mode to just show time, day, date. (2) Watch and app interfaces have a hundred options and a confusing array of menu items you have to trail down to find any given feature. Maybe I will learn it over time, but it is a mess. But the watch is very configurable so you can at least hide features you don’t use so you have a better chance of finding the ones you want (lets see, do I swipe up, down, left or right for that?). I find “Olympics Color” to be the best free watch face…no waste of space on decoration and shows pretty much all the measured variables. (3) No detailed users manual…anywhere; however, when I have a specific question about how to find a feature, I google it, and have always gotten a good answer, so maybe I don’t need a manual. But that means there could be features I don’t know to even ask for that are available and I will never know about them. Oh well, $75. UPDATE: To keep the “Always On Display” you can buy an AOD watch face, or built-in, you can make it stay on for 20 min at a time…go to Control Center on the watch and click the plus sign to add the option for “Keep Screen Lit”

Great fitness tracker
I waited a bit to write this review so I can wear the watch daily for while and get a feel for the operation and accuracy. First off the battery life is amazing. Even with high usage its still really good. I charged mine for the first time after a week of already using it right out of the box. it had 65% charge when I started it up the first time and it still has 35% after a week of use. The different fitness tracking functions work well when they are initiated to do so. what I mean by that is if you just leave the watch on and it tracks your heart rate frequently as well as calculating steps, the calorie burned count is significantly lower than when the watch is in any of the workout modes. there are a lot of workout modes which include things like yoga and simple stretching to more specific workouts. the difference is roughly 4 to 5 times as many calories burned when its in the workout modes vs when not. It should be closer if the watch is still tracking your heart rate and steps and so forth. I tried to keep it in workout mode all day but it times out at some point and loses the fitness data. its safer to do it in 2 or 3 hour increments if you want continuous accurate calorie data for the whole day. I do wish it had blood pressure measurement but I think you have to move up to a higher model for that. Other than that the GPS works pretty well and when it is in a workout mode it seems to have pretty accurate measurements in terms of overall calories burned. I compared it to other fitness trackers that I have used and I think it is more accurate than most in this price bracket. It is a very comfortable watch. light weight and durable. The phone app is neat and the multitude of available watch faces both free and for sale $1 to $2 are awesome. I change mine all the time just for fun. I will continue to use and update this review after a few months.

I wanted a fitness tracker that had GPS, the Amazfit Bip 5 has it, as well as heart beat and sleep monitor. I am very satisfied with this tracker. Battery life is 7-10 days, as advertised. Very good for the price.

I bought it because I mainly use them as an alarm clock and so fat like it way better than band because it creates less pressure
but when you get notify for amazfit app – it just gets it to the whole another level.
I have all notifications from all apps that i want. I truly get 95% of smartwatch at a fraction of the price + about a week of battery life. bruh..
I want to get a smartwatch for like 3 years, but no smartwatch has the battery life good enough to make me pay extra hundreds to have lte and some other stuff. for my use case is this is more than enough.
my only gripe about it is screen layout and vary little options for controlling it. but we are getting there)
