Amazfit Bip Is As Good As An Apple Watch But Costs Only $80

When it comes to smartwatches, Fitbit and Apple are arguably the most well-known names on the market right now. However, Huami, a China-based company has launched its own wearable that sets you back less than $100 but comes with a fantastic performance, the Amazfit Bip.

Amazfit Bip costs only $80

The smartwatch from Huami has an uncanny resemblance to the Apple Watch, but it costs you just a fraction of the price the iPhone maker asks for its wearable. In fact, with the number of useful features the smartwatch packs, the $80 price tag seems like a steal. The Amazfit Bip can keep track of your heart rate, sleep, and fitness level. You can also install apps on it or get phone calls or text messages. With all of these functions on, the smartwatch can survive for a few weeks between charging.

The watch lets you set goals for working out and tells you how many calories you have just burned. If you have remained stationary for too long, it will vibrate to remind you to get some exercise.

If you want to do something else, like running or cycling, the Amazfit Bip can provide you with data on your heart rate, pace, and stride. However, a significant downer is the inaccuracy of the activity guidance. To make up for this, you can use the Nike Run app instead. It works just fine for everyday activities.

It gives you reports on your exercise

The sleep tracking feature is one of the watch’s advantages. It divides your sleeping circle into a deep and light sleep and also gives you advice on how to get more from your rest. This data coupled with the physical activity reports can speak volume of your mood and energy level.

Besides health and activity reports, the watch can allow you to see your phone notifications to avoid the distraction of something lighting up often next to you. Its stopwatch function can be of great help when you cook, and its alarm clock can be your best pal every morning to wake you up. Amazfit Bip can also be the weatherman to tell you what to prepare for the day.

It can also keep track of your sleep routine

The appearance of this smartwatch is not on par with anything from Apple or Fitbit, but the performance and durability of the battery are two big selling points making thus smartwatch a worthy rival of those from the two more prominent companies.

While other smartwatches need to be charged after a few days, some even require a battery refill every day, this smartphone can survive five weeks straight of daily use and have 33% of juice left to run on. This is what you can expect if you reduce the brightness of the screen and disable some other features. If you have a different using pattern, this time can vary accordingly. On average, the watch can hold up for a month with just 2.5 house of charging.

Users have the choice to acquire the watch in four colors and many different watch faces. When you wear it, you can barely feel its existence on the wrist. The screen is still legible under strong sunlight. People with more sensitive skin should be aware that the wrist band can make you feel a bit uncomfortable. You may consider switching to another strap.

Overall, if you are on the lookout for a smartwatch with a decent number of handy functions, a durable battery, without the flashy features of more established brands, the Amazfit Bip is right up your alley. It is straightforward, can last for a whole month after one single charge, and costs only $80. In that price bracket, no other smartwatch has been able to rival it so far.
