Amazing battery life 2 to 4 weeks, flawless notifications (Android), subpar steps and sleep tracking.

What's the knock on the step counter? What about the heart rate monitor?

I'm looking to upgrade from a Xiaomi Mi Band 3.

I'm also wondering about the quality of the Android pairing app for the Amazfit because the Xiaomi app isn't very good.

Yesterday, my watch recorded 17k steps, 7.54 miles, 374 kcalories burnt.
Today it recorded 15k steps, 18.22 miles, 1426 kcalories burnt.
I walk the same route inside my home, between rooms.

Anyone with an AmazFit watch know if it can read notifications from Android work profile apps? I got the Wyze Watch and, while well made, the software sucks and it can't see work profile apps like my Garmin can.

If the AmazFit is able to see work profile notifications I'll jump on this.

don't buy AmazFit. I got a junk from them through Indiegogo. They don't fix their issues and stopped replying people.

I have this watch and haven't had any issues. With the above watchface I have gotten almost 50 days on one charge. I also use the Notify for Amazfit app. It's a third-party app that is a lot better than the official one.

Love this watch. Had it for a few years now. It just works. Never had issues with notifications unlike other Amazfit watches I've had and returned. Always on and good display. The only negative is that the battery life although stellar and class leading seems much reduced when notifications are on. It's still not bad. For this price, I think it's a great deal

We've had the Bip (not lite, S, or U) for a year+ now. My wife's recently started draining very quickly for some reason, but otherwise we both love ours.

We do use a 3rd party app instead of the main app and can customize a LOT.

I had an issue with one of my watches. Replies were slow but they were willing to send me a new unit as a replacement. This was over a year ago.

Does this one do a better job about syncing workouts to Goolge Fit. My BIP never syncs workouts.

Agree, that's a lot of steps for just being inside -- you must have a huge house. I'm lucky to get 5K steps a day during Covid and house confinement.

Incidentally I have been happy with my 1st gen version of this Amazfit Bip watch. Useful to monitor my daily steps, general heart rate, and sleep records. During the summer I also find it useful to record my biking sessions.
