Amazfit Bip 3 Pro Smart Watch for Men, GPS, 14-Day Battery Life, Activity Fitness Tracker with 60+ Sports Modes, Water Resistant, Sleep & Heart Rate Monitor, for Android Phone & iPhone, Black

I’ve been using the Amazfit Bip 3 Pro for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed, especially for the price. The GPS works well for my runs, and the battery life is amazing—I only have to charge it every 10 days or so. It tracks my steps, heart rate, and sleep pretty accurately. The screen is nice, but it can be a bit hard to see in bright sunlight. it does way more than I expected. Great value if you’re looking for a reliable fitness watch without breaking the bank.

To start, I've tried a few fitness trackers over the years, notably Fitbit(s) and Ticwatch, prior to purchasing this watch.The features that you get with this watch, at this price point, is unbeatable. I was specifically looking for a heart rate tracker for workouts, as well as a sleep tracker. This device provides both, and does a very good job with both functions. SpO2 monitoring is a very cool bonus.The battery life is impressively efficient - especially coming from the world of higher-end fitness trackers, where you may be lucky to get 24-48 hours battery life out of your device. This appears to last days with minimal battery usage. Very impressive.The app that is recommended for this watch, Zepp, is comprehensive with its feature set, including history, fitness rankings, etc.Fitness tracking for general exercise categories - mostly cardio based, is pretty basic but hits all of the typical key points you might need. For weight training, the app focuses solely on heart rate monitoring as its data point for measuring workout progress, which seems somewhat inadequate - but there are better weight training apps out there.In that regard, it's important to note some odd behaviors of the provided app. Since purchasing the watch, I use Zepp to track heart rate, and Jefit to track weight training workouts. This syncs over to Google Fit, which maintains what I would expect to be the master view of all of the data. Unfortunately, Zepp appears to often overwrite or erase data provided from other apps. For example. Jefit workouts initially appear in Google Fit, along with the related "heart points" - up until Zepp syncs with Google Fit, at which point the Jefit data and heart points are completely wiped out. If you're relying on Google Fit's heart points as a metric for fitness benchmarks, this behavior makes the data completely unreliable.So far, that is my biggest complaint with the app and watch. Otherwise, it is a pretty amazing device.Highly recommended based on my experience so far!

I'm what you might call a late adopter of new technology, which I dislike; I'm reluctantly stumbling into the 21st century as doing things the old way becomes less practical. I've been a runner for 35 years and got excited about the possibility of one last time doing a mountain race that requires a 10-mile qualifier, which can be self-timed with a GPS watch. This one gets good reviews, and I was able to snag it (pink band) in "used, like new" condition for $37. Indeed, it seemed just ... new. I don't think measurement of physiological parameters (heart rate, pulse ox, sleep, etc.) can really be trusted on such watches, and continue to count bpm the old-fashioned way -- two fingers to carotid, count 15 seconds and multiply by 4 -- as I think the watch reads high. But I enjoy the GPS, which seems accurate, and step counter, and it gives you a good approximation of how much you are exerting yourself relatively, even if the numbers aren't strictly accurate. I also like the funky little "breathe" tool, stopwatch and other functions, too, and the default watch face is just, well, pretty. It's fun to have.I had to re-do the initial pairing of watch and phone app because I did not set my phone to leave the screen on -- you need to do that -- so there is a bit of a learning curve if you are not tech-savvy. But I'm glad I took the plunge and am enjoying this watch, even if that 10-mile qualifier ultimately might not be a good idea for a 65-year-old runner with arthritic feet. :)
