My top 3 favorite features: the reflective display, the battery life and the strap material. Which are yours?

I like the price range, the watch style and the battery life. Bought some screen protectors just in case. Don't like strap. Trying to get a wooden watch strap for this watch.

Wow, looks like the strap is a hit or miss. I like it a lot, but I have noticed that people are polarized - they either like it a lot, or dislike it big time :-) Perhaps very soon there will be plenty of options. And of course, it uses standard size which makes it easy to choose a random brand.

I just bought the English version through your link. I am from UK and currently have Fitbit Charge 2 and was going to upgrade to Fitbit İonic. However, after I seen your video and the watch I changed my mind. The watch looks amazing classy and I prefer circle. Hopefully I won't regret my decision as never heard of this brand before. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the video.

Hi, after 2 years with Stratos 2, I would like to share my experience this way. Yes, I like the look of the watch and the display, GPS features (Trackrecording, speed, distance etc.) and HR monitoring. To put it in a nutshell: HR doesn't work at all after 20 months, before with drop-outs and false values. Operating modus changed - let us say - once a week. For example: I very often use the "Trail" modus. One day, you get there with 2 clicks, the other day searching with about 10 clicks, next day it takes 5 minutes and you find it by chance, or you leave it alone, waiting for next week and it will be fine again. At present, I try to find the reset button, hoping this will fix the HR blackout. No chance. My display is quite different from that of the others, after clicking the menue buttons. I expect that such a device will last longer than 24 months, when guarantee is just running out.

Oh, that's very sad to read and I am so sorry yours failed. There doesn't seem to be a reset button. You may try some more factory resets but that likely won't help much.

@TechMishka
@TechMishka 6 жыл бұрын
You are not wrong about Wear OS - there is luckily NO wear OS. Last two weeks I was testing another wear-OS based device and ... The only really useful feature of wearos is the Google Maps integration. It is slow, laggy, with not too great navigation and horrible battery life. In that sense - having no wearOS here is an advantage in my opinion. And sports functions are way better than on most of WearOS devices. There are of course some features that are missing - no keyboard, no google maps, no mic, no phone calls possibility.

I have one too. I feel after the last watch update in 2017, the battery life has been compromised. They did release another update which seemingly fixed it. But be weary of updating the software if everything is just working for you. The is no incentive to get this watch if you have the 1 gen. Looks identical. If Xiaomi comes with one with android wear then that is a different story.

FOr new buyers, be aware that the HR sensor glass becomes loose under a lot of heat, (the glue becomes soft and the glass falls off) then sweat enters through. THe HR sensor shorts out and the battery drains. SO when you buy it, make sure to add some sealant glue on the edges of the HR sensor glass. Amazfit won't repair the watch. If your are still under warranty, they will give you a new watch.

Not really. In real-life conditions it is not that glossy. It is not as sleek as Huawei and Samsung's models, but certainly doesn't look cheap.

@TechMishka
@TechMishka 6 жыл бұрын
Hey, thanks a lot for the kind words! Likely the Chinese version will be the more affordable choice. And the customized ROM is based on the stock, and is stable enough. It was just yesterday that I start to notice minor lag, which was caused by a few things working together. But there is a task manager and you can quickly fix that :D These are early builds and in time it will get only better. So yeah - I believe you can order the Chinese version and use it. Likely the more important choice will e 2 or 2s - the S-model has Sapphire and leather strap too.

You are correct. And on 3:48 I have played the info-bar indicating this. ANd that is noted in the description, as well as on our website. In fact I also was unaware about this at the very beginning. Overall even the tempered glass is quite scratch resistant - my usage type is quite intensive.

In comparison with gear s3, what you think? I bought the s3 but thinking of returning and getting this one but no Android wear is a let down for me. Tizen and Samsung better than this proprietary Chinese software I guess? but this one has VO2Max which is a great advantage! what you think?

Hi, first, sorry for my english, i'm french and not using google translate (i don't want to cheat :p ) So, i just wanna talk about that you said differences between stratos 2 an straos 2 plus, the second version have more than a leather strap but a saphire screen, that explain is more expensive too. have a good day :)
@TechMishka
@TechMishka 6 жыл бұрын
Yes, you are right. This is why I have posted this flyer saying that the 2S has Sapphire. When I was recording the voice, I was in fact unaware about the sapphire vs tempered glass and that's why at the end it remained with only the note on 3:50 :-) Thank you very much for highlighting this - I am always trying to make my videos as accurate as possible and am sorry if that brought misunderstanding. And your English is excellent! :-)

tech4all thanks and don't be worry, your video is a very good one ! So, i have the amazfit pace more than six month and i'm very happy with it. I'm interested by the stratos 2+ but only if the price down....the top, will be a third version with a full round, more translate language and a good magnetic charger or induction charge. A watch like this, under 200$, Samsung and apple could be afraid ;)
@TechMishka

If you have the Pace, then better wait for the next gen :-) The Stratos is the Pace in a newer design, but feature-wise they are quite similar. I hope Xiaomi is already working on a newer model.

Diddy Fortyseven , *it can be operated by using the buttons. As of now, built-in watch faces are just few but you can customize them or make your own custom made using Fabio's site. Apps are just the built in one's like running, etc... You can install some modified apps bud it's too limited. *Yes all notifications can be chosen. You can also see incoming call *No idea about alipay. * You can use it for swimming under 30 meters. *Your can also play and control music from your phone.
