Amazfit Balance Smartwatch Review: Better than the Apple Watch? | The Gadget Show

[@simdencard]

I bought the Amazfit Balance since just over a month ago and haven't used my Samsung Watch 5 Pro LTE since. The heart rate tracking, more in-depth training analytics, readiness feature, and battery life have greatly contributed to this.

Can I ask how’s your experience with the battery life?

[@shaneod540]

@@nikon9120up to 14 days per charge

[@simdencard]

​@nikon9120 The battery is good for 6 days, inclusive of a daily workout of an hour or just over with always on display, which I set to automatically switch of from 10pm till 7am.

I've had a Amazfit GTR4 and now have a GTR4 mk2 - the mk2 connects to external devices namely Polar H2 hr monitor for the PAI. Think the PAI system is brilliant.

Could you explain how bluetooth calls work please? Especially when the user has the headphones connected. Why the software does not transfer the audio of the phone call to the headphones but that goes to the watch speaker? thanks

I really enjoyed using its brother Amazfit Trex 2. For me as a light user, - all notifications are on for my social media - heart rate scan every 1 minute 24h - stress detection 24h - sleep monitor 24h - breathing monitor 24h - blood oxygen monitor 24h - alarm - all notifications and call settings with highest vibration *i had thick skin*, all this can get me through normally 27days a single charge. Being using/wearing it everyday for almost 1 years with no problems, sometimes can't even find where i put the charger because of it long lasting battery 😂

But I heard the heart rate accuracy is terrible?

[@aripmkboiii]

​@@brucelin5842I heard about that couple of times but idk, for me side by side with oximeter devices and the Trex2, results are accurate. Maybe the accuracy when heavy exercising can be varied sometimes or maybe the way they wear it, positioning the smartwatch for pulse detection are not the same for everybody.

Zep OS 3.5 just came out today which adds a whole bunch of language and AI learning. I gather you can now just talk to your watch and tell it what you want it to do and it does it versus having to even touch it anymore. This kind of makes me want to buy one of these watches and give up on my Samsung

[@brucelin5842]

Does it have a voice assistant like Google or Siri?can u navigate with the Watch? And how do u get mp3 on your pc to this Watch?

[@DeneF]

Thank you. Didn't know the gadget show was still going.

[@reeceanderson9293]

Remember the epic competitions that had about 100 grand worth of tech up for grabs😂

[@Marhvis23]

Does amazfit have the ability to upload GPX maps? and whether it is possible to install Google Maps

[@miloradowicz]

Wait, what do you mean no Bluetooth secure? Can't you connect a cheststrap hrm to the watch?

[@simdencard]

You can connect a chest strap.

[@johns3950]

What band is on this one?

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

Interesting how no one talks about the GPS accuracy on the Amazfit's. I'm guessing it is not good.

[@MattBurkeUK]

I use a garmin edge on my bike and balance on my wrist , and they're both very close to each other. I'm impressed.

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

@@MattBurkeUK Great. Thanks.

[@eclampsium]

The body composition measure always fails to me. Altough i bought it becouse of the battery and Alexa to make it easyer to control my house from anywhere, even open the house gates…

[@LeonCaffe]

Try not to touch your two hands on the skin

[@TheCrusader1000]

When is this on 5 again please.

[@perseus9968]

Cannot compare the precision of the Heart Rate Sensor of the Apple Watch with that (mediocre at best) of the Amazfit Balance. It must be said, however, that the Balance is their best watch to date but there is still lot of room for improvement. Btw it is OK for the price

[@sjaool]

It's much better than previous Amazfit watches. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eanCm3p8rc-ijbM

[@star14355]

why not? everything is up for comparison, even prices... just because Apple made it and it's 1000$, doesn't make it the best...test it, see the reviews then decide

[@joshuapage7090]

Curry's don't even sell it

[@makib3911]

do you think the apple watch ultra is worse than the amazfit toy? Amazfit is a Toy

[@stiegelzeine2186]

The apple watch is a toy that you should give a toddler, nothing more thats why its battery life sucks so badly
