    Guys, please help check and confirm if this integrates data to Strava. Bip does, not sure of the BipS.

      MarOMG, 17 Aug 2020I stopped reading after "screen burn-in" after on... moreIt's LCD panel and it's hard to do burn-in with LCD. Most probably it's just an image-retention but the reviewer just overstated it as burn-in.

        Wmurch3, 17 Aug 2020I have no screen burn in on mine after 3 months so not sure... moreI have no burn-in after 3 years on OG Bip ;)

          I like mine well enough. However the lack of emoji support is still disappointing. I much prefer it over my smartwatch simply for battery life and how light it is. If you want a watch that you can forget you're wearing then this is a good one.

              As a long time Amazfit BIP user I would say that it's a shame that you cannot customize the alarm time on the watch. The UI element for changing number is there (setting countdown) but is not implemented in setting alarm time. It is very annoying when you have to wait for all the updates / GPS updates every time you want to set alarm in the app.

                I stopped reading after "screen burn-in" after only a few weeks. No, thanx.

                      +10 days for a watch with an always on screen is decent battery life? This +10 times better than watches that last for less than a day with screens that constantly turn off.

                          As an previous owner of Bips, I must say this is a small incremental update.
                          But some changes are nice - like a proper music control, better activity tracking, better fonts for notification, that have no issue to display "unusual" characters like "ů" etc., if you use it in not-so-smart mode - 5min. heartrate, sleep tracking you can get on 60 days like you could with first generation.

                          @Jazeem
                          On a threadmill it uses accelerometer - it can never be accurate on any watch, it never is accurate on any watch.
                          The only thing that any smartwatch measure accurately is the time.

                            Highly inaccurate GPS tracking. It overstates the treadmill run by 25%. Every one KM on the treadmill is counted as 1.25km by the watch. It is cheap but what is the point?

                              Why is there no Colorfit watch mentioned as alternative. Even they are very decent at 5k price point

                                if they release the new one with bugger screen, I will buy again..
                                1.28 inch display looks so small compared to bezels. Display quality is very good, thats the reason why the bip has fantastic battery

                                    Pdf the Amazfit is never under €85 in my country making it overpriced.

                                      Good review, I've been eyeing this watch for a while now. Has gsmarena done a review on the mi band 5? Can't seem to find it
