XIAOMI AMAZFIT PACE IP67 Waterproof Fitness Smartwatch "Always On" Screen: Update Review

[@kelebgadol]

UPDATE 03/19 Over a year of use, I am still in love with my Amazfit Pace. I was able to get nice bands, and also to design my own watch face to my liking. It still amazes me how clearly the time can be read in direct sunlight, or even in regular light WITHOUT having to turn it on. And, it still lasts me up to 10 days (I only wear it a couple days a week, for dressing up--- I use a cheap watch band for everyday use). Thank you, Sir, for your expert advice (yours was the best review). God bless you! UPDATE 02/18 I've used this watch for 3 months, and I could cry because I really like it. I had a smart band that became a black ribbon whenever in bright light. This watch reads in any light or no light. And, it lasts me a week (I only set it for texts and calls, which are infrequent). For treadmill running, I place it above my ankle, under my sock, and I get the same count as the treadmill. I also set heartbeat on manual. And, a block mode (auto airplane) from 10pm to 7am. For under $100, it is beautiful, sturdy, has awesome faces, and great battery life. I am very, very happy. Thank you, Mr Tick, for your reviews. ORIG 11/17 Sir, at 11min, 23sec of your video, I think in order to HEAR the playback, you have to use bluetooth earplugs/headphones, per another video I saw. I ordered one at Gearbest, during their 11.11 (annual Nov 11th) sale for 89.99, but am still waiting for it to arrive. PS, Yes, the Bluetooth works, as I wrote previously.

[@SWT]

That could be true. I'm not as familiar with the OS on the PACE as I am on the Android watches. I'm not sure where on the PACE you would set up Bluetooth pairing. Please let me know if you get it to work when you get yours.

[@kelebgadol]

Got the watch today, 122017 (50 days after ordering from Gearbest...UGH). When I clicked the music play button, it asked for a bluetooth device. I synced my little speaker and once it synced, the player worked. PS, one needs to load songs onto to phone via USB (apparently you had done that).

[@stevej.6674]

Awesome review! I bought the Pace based on your original review as you went into the settings more-so than the other reviewers. I was looking for a device that displayed the KPH (actual, top & average) like a speedo, BUT F*cking NO ONE SHOWS THE POSSIBLE SPEEDO INFO, which i thought was weird ESPECIALLY on a device called the “Pace”!!!! Its like every reviewer thinks people ONLY run for exercise. Cycling is huge and there are thousands of “bike computers” which nearly all bike enthusiasts have & the main function is to show SPEED!!!!! Every fricken review vid skims through the “run” option only...uurgh sooo annoying!!!! At least you went through each sport option and settings (4 or 6 fields of info AND how to move them up or down)....thats what made me buy this device thanks to you - thank you🙏

[@SWT]

Haha, thanks for the positive feedback Steve. I took a lot of heat for that for wasting everyone's time on excruciating details. I get the same thing when I show the watch faces on a watch. "Who cares?" most folks say. Well, as a result my reviews tend to be unapologetically long, and it really ticks most folks off. Glad to see someone appreciated the extra effort. You're right though, these days I just glance over the activities and sometime show one or two, but not the detail I did when I was innocent and green at doing this.

[@gimbeault]

instead of always pressing on the button to wake the watch, enable double tap to wake, i much prefer that...

[@SWT]

Yes, excellent idea.

[@hellomyissuper18]

The Double tab to wake up is the Best solution, thx

[@eddellow4285]

Double tap does not work reliably. A big failure of the watch.

[@dropoutsproduction4831]

maybe triple tap.

[@eddellow4285]

Maybe 30 tap. That's the only way.

[@PravinPatil41]

I bought the amazfit bip. Its a perfect watch to track my runs minus all the nonsense and with excellent battery life.

[@SWT]

Yea, exactly! No badminton, football, golf or catnapping. Just what you need for what you do. Go Bip!

[@tusharbhole8029]

Hi...very nice video... Does amazefit pace shows Name of contacts when someone calls. Also can we answer or ignore call from watch when connected to Bluetooth headset? Thanks.

[@BHASKA29]

Got it for about a month now. Amazing watch plus I can do about 4 days with heavy usage without charging.

[@nigelteoh4542]

Good day Mr Ticks should I buy the DM368 plus or the Smartwear H2. Any recommendations?? Thanks:))

[@SWT]

Oh my, this is like going in for an ice cream cone at a really good ice cream store and wanting to know which flavor to buy. They all taste really good. What mood are you in? I'd suggest you make a little chart of the features you like and put a check beside each watch if it's on your list or not, then really think about what you will use day to day. I like them both! Now if I were picking, with my own criteria, like the edge-to-edge screen of the H2, the camera on the side, etc., I'd lean toward the H2, but that's the flavor of ice cream I want. Your cone might be different. By the way, if you post under the DM368 or H2 video reviews, you might get responses from folks that own those watches. Posting here under the Amazfit Pace just annoys folks who are reading comments to learn about that watch. I'd move it to the right place, but Google won't let me. Just a thought for future comments you may want to leave.

[@nigelteoh4542]

SmartWatch Ticks Thanks for replying! Haha sorry for that will do in the future . Might go for the H2. Thanks again!

[@TheShelleybeans]

Instead of making pace 2, I wish amazfit would make a pace for women or smaller wrists.

[@SWT]

Check the Amazfit Bip if you like Amazfit products. Not as full as a Pace, but smaller in size.

[@pjaypender1009]

@@SWT In some ways the Bip is better than the Pace. (I own both.) But the PAce definitely has a more "grownup" feel. The ceramic bezel feels rich and beautiful. The Bip's plastic feels a little cheap.

[@misterb1915]

Question... and I assume you will only be able to answer this if you have your Pace on the latest firmware. Is it possible to set a WHITE background during an activity like a run? I've watched different videos by different people on different firmwares showing clear differences, but I can't tell whether that setting is available somewhere? A former Huami employee says that they think it is available (as it is on the Stratos and Stratos 3). Thanks Mr. Ticks!

[@SWT]

Wow, I don't even have the Pace here anymore, let alone the latest firmware. Sorry, I can't help you on this one.

[@davidguerra3152]

Hi, could you let me know if the watch face when the always on is enabled remains dynamic or becomes static? Tks a lot. DG

[@bharatmeena9960]

hey can we sync phone photos to this watch and watch all the photos??....my only priority to see the photos of my phone through this watch and will i have to keep the phone near me to access photos??

[@macadamiaowl9702]

Does it have any kind of accessibility for low vision or blind people? Full Android has Screenreader Talkback and zoom after I tap quickly three times my screen, Tizen OS i think has screenreader too, Android Wear has screenreader. Does this smartwatch has any of those or similar options?

[@tipoomaster]

Say I had Airpods and an iPhone, would the proper controls for podcasts, music/spotify all come up on this watch when i was using them on the phone? That freedom is kind of the killer app of the Watch for me, if this could do that it would be dope.

[@SWT]

I've never heard of the controls automatically appearing on a smartwatch when you start playing music on a phone. Also, Bluetooth tethering is limited on Apple equipment, so keep checking. You'll find your answer somewhere, I'm sure.

[@demonSlayer4563]

I am considering buying this smartwatch..do you recommend it over kw88?

[@SWT]

This is a fitness watch primarily and totally different than the KW88 Android watch. You can do many fitness related things with the PACE, but you can install Android apps and put a SIM card in the KW88 and make phone calls directly from the watch. I can't recommend either until you know what you plan to do with your watch.

[@demonSlayer4563]

SmartWatch Ticks I am looking for a decent smartwatch that supports a wide range of watchfaces and shows all notifications. Apps and sim card isn't deal breaker for me. Can't I call directly from Amazfit? BTW is Kingwear K88 a good built smartwatch? Both are priced same in my country.

[@arghhhhhhhhhf]

without pressing the button (Backlight off), does all information for example time is update every minute/second ?? or we need to press the button everytime to see current time ??

[@SWT]

As I understand it, the screen freezes (memory LCD technology) but a trickle update happens every minute to update the time (to the minute). If you have a face showing seconds or a stopwatch or something like that, it will freeze and then suddenly appear to update.

[@arghhhhhhhhhf]

oh.. ok thanks.. better using watchface without showing second then..

[@FoxyWakes]

Hi, I’m considering buying the Xiaomi Amazfit Pace 2, have you or do you intend to do a review on this please, we appear to be in the same age group and I really appreciate your candid and informative information. Many thanks.

[@SWT]

Yes, I hope to review the Amazfit Pace 2 soon.

[@debayansaha820]

This watch is used for getting notifications only?? Is there any update on whether they will provide call support or replying to notifications ???

[@SWT]

Check the links in the show notes to take you to Amazfit official website and another cool site. You'll probably find your answer there.

[@hmmm328]

does it works as camera shutter

[@outoftheabundance764]

Do you happen to have a coupon code that is active now. Looks like I just missed the sale. Looking to buy this watch.

[@SWT]

I'll ask if they can issue another one.

[@Dovakeen79]

your videos have taught me so much on smart watches thanks

[@SWT]

You're welcome! Thanks for subscribing and telling your friends!

[@richardcampbell8297]

You finally convinced me to get this watch - just ordered - thanks for the discount voucher too - great price - great videos keep up the good work.

[@SWT]

Yippee! I had a feeling there were some folks considering, but didn't know how far this watch has come with firmware updates. Thanks for using our links, too.

[@enrinico76]

SmartWatch Ticks the discount voucher dosnt work for me!!! Please advice me what to do, buy this one or wait for the bip version...

[@vinthefinn]

Awesomely descriptive vid! Thank you sir! Cannot wait to receive in the mail this week!!

[@edderepa9685]

Do you have a current coupon for this for $80.99? Ho do you think it compares to the Vivoactive HR that you tested recently? Cheers

[@SWT]

It sounds like the $80.99 was a real steal. I'm working to get the best price I can for you. All I can say is it will be under $90 with the limited stock in the next shipment. Should have something up in the show notes real soon. If I get a low price, it will be for an extremely small supply, and then they will adjust to the final price for the rest of the stock. Their cost just went up from Amazfit.

[@SWT]

AMAZFIT PACE Gearbest Buying Link: www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_689346.html?lkid=10117036 Coupon: Huami2 Price: $80.99 Note: Very limited supply at this price. If coupon doesn't work, quantity is sold out. Coupon will be updated soon as price is increasing to $89.99. This compares nicely with the Garmin vivoactive HR, and I like the round design.

[@edderepa9685]

SmartWatch Ticks wow thanks! :). Ordered (code must be for orange only? Will get another band anyway)! :). Didn't want to get vivoactive hr again would be boring and at this price I can get something else sooner :)

[@sinistroGamerYT]

Hello mate you could do the analysis of the Smartwatch Allcall W1 I am intending to buy, thank you.

[@SWT]

Absolutely. I have the W1 on the way in, along with the LEM6 as soon as they are both available. I'm hearing early November, but I'm trying to get them sooner. Make sure you subscribe so you'll be notified when the reviews go Live!

[@js3380]

How did you change it to English?

[@DionisioBernal]

Do you another cupon? Thanks!

[@erikgarston1395]

Hi there. Can I use LEMFO faces on Amazfit stratos watch?

[@SWT]

No, they work completely differently.

[@Deqz95]

How do I turn off the always on screen display ? It's kinda annoying especially when it's dark. I would rather push the button or even tap on it to awake it up.

[@jimakos75]

Sorry for the off tpoic but can make a review for allcall w1 ? Thank you !!!

[@SWT]

Yes! And the LEMFO LEM6, both are on their way here soon.

[@jimakos75]

Thank you very much. I s there any other smartwatch like allcall w1 to see a review?

[@misbahazhar2103]

Mr ticks, I need an android standalone smart watch with a round face, at least 8 hours of battery life and at least 1gb ram and 16gb rom. Which one should I go for?

[@SWT]

You might squeeze 8 hours out of any of them if you employ some memory conservation practices. So any of the 1GB/16GB watches I've reviewed will work. Often the screen eats the most power, so you might get better battery life out of a watch with a smaller screen and 360x360 pixels vs the larger 1.39 inch 400x400 screens. I hear No.1 is about to release their next memory bump up to the D5 which has always been a winning watch. I should be reviewing one as soon as it is out.

[@misbahazhar2103]

I will be buying one in 1 or 2 days. Which is the most stylish one (thin bezel and the watch should not be fat). Or better, which one would you recommend?

[@SWT]

I cannot recommend as there are too many types of watches. It would be like asking me what shoes to recommend. I don't know if you want dress shoes or beach shoes! These reviews are for you to watch and decide what watch is right for you.

[@LeagueOfNations94]

It's almost 2018, is it still a worthy buy? Will there be a new amazfit anytime soon?

[@SWT]

It looks like the Amazfit Bip is the next one, but it's a much smaller and more limited product. I think they will continue to improve the software for the PACE rather than replace it with new hardware. I haven't heard of anything else new.

[@ishankantisamantaray6184]

They have announced amazfit pace 2 and 2s in China

[@Trialbike]

Thank you for your review. Could yo make me a favour? check if it's possible change unit to Km/h instead miles/h. Thank you. I received the watch yesterday with v1.3.0n and i can't do it. I do with app on the phone but i can't sync so i don't know if its finaly works or no. Thanks a lot.

[@SWT]

First, you definitely want to update your firmware. Second, it is natively in metric. I had to switch it to Imperial, so you should have metric units out of the box!

[@derrycarlos5472]

Does it run smooth on iphone? Someone can help me? Im consider to buy this watch but i use iphone. Thank you

[@hellomyissuper18]

No problem. Also i like all your Reviews on KZbin. You make a great job. I am looking for a watch with a battery life for one week. Thank you for the suggested SMA time but i think the watch looks terrible. Not a long time ago i sold my Samsung gear s3 because the battery life was only 3 days and i consider that was a smartwatch. Good but not for me. Can you recommend me other watches? Or should i test the amazfit?

[@SWT]

Right now I think the Amazfit is the closest you're going to get to a nice round watch with a week long battery life. All the Android watches have short lives. You could, perhaps, get into a tethering watch with a longer life. Skim over some of these and see if any grab your interest: kzbin.info/aero/PLGZLicZ6A2vW40mQ7D5yjsUxc4ms5Z-zj

[@hellomyissuper18]

Many thanks

[@lnbenitoespinosa]

I do really need a recommendation , I want to buy a smartwatch Samsung gear S2 or amazfit pace?

[@SWT]

Sit and think about how you plan to use your watch most, and let that govern your decision since the two that you are considering are really different from each other.

[@lnbenitoespinosa]

SmartWatch Ticks I want to use it for notifications, productivity, reminders and things like that I like the watchfaces customization for example. I don't want to be worry for charging it everyday. Another thing is that I'm considering a used gear S2 vs a new amazfit both around 120 dlls

[@darthchris19]

Benito Espinosa well I have an amazfit oace and I love it. The option to change straps is great, since they cost like a dollar on ebay. The gps was amazing 4 months ago and now it's even better. With average use,2 hour of sports mode use per day (with music) and nonstop tethering, you can get a solid 72 hours put of the battery. Hope this helps

[@lnbenitoespinosa]

Thank you both

[@phamster18]

i have the amazfit watch, love the screen on always feature. if your a sporting guy, then this watch is for you.. if you dont sport it look at other watches.

[@AUserCAAP]

Try a short pressing on each category, it shows a lot more information.

[@yogismara]

Sir, do you have another coupon? The huami2 coupon already expired. Thank you

[@SWT]

Wow, really? I'm pretty sure I've exhausted all my favors. I'll try and get something, but it will be along the lines of $89.99. At this point we'll have to wait until after 11/11 as they are swamped getting ready for that. Check the Global store sale on 11/11 (remember that's 11/11 in China) and you might still get a good price.

[@ishankantisamantaray6184]

Is there a way to disable the idle screen? The low res watch face image without moving second hand?

[@SWT]

I don't think so. It always goes into idle for me. Saves power that way I guess.

[@arosemena48]

How frequently does it need to be charged?

[@sakis231000]

Joaquin Arosemena i have this watch four months now. I turn it off every night when i go to sleep and turn it on first thing in the morning. It takes easy five days to need charge.

[@danielpspersonal]

cant find anyone that has tested this: can you use a HRM chest strap with this? I want accurate heart rate but want to see it in the watch not in the phone. I know apple watch can do this, but cant find a confirmation amazfit can.

[@SWT]

I don't know if these can do that either. Good question though. If you test it out, please let us know if you have success.

[@danielpspersonal]

I'm asking because I don't have this watch XD weel hope someone has tested it somewhere and answer here.

[@SWT]

I saw in another video that yes, you can use a compatible chest strap with it, but he hadn't tested it either, so I don't know for sure, but it seems good news. See if you can ask at mamzfit.com

[@vangelo2252]

I have seen many reviews of this watch. No one seems to point out that the Amazfit App only displays Sports Activites in Metric. This was a big disappointment for me when I bought the watch. Can I respectfully ask why this was not mentioned in the review? Coincidentally, an update to the app was issued yesterday. Like they read my mind, the app now dispays Imperial! YAY!

[@dhanushsridhar]

How to get the prototype watch face sir???

[@jasonproulx5323]

Hi, can the watch display regular preset reminders from your smartphone? (e.g. doctors appointment @ 3:30, pick up bread @ 5:00, etc.)

[@ThePharaohsCat]

Those swipes seen like adjustable shortcuts, as swiping right goes thru all apps. Would be good to configure swipes.

[@SWT]

Yes, that would help with navigation.

[@aryamsood]

My watch remains connected to the phone even when i switch off the bluetooth on my phone. How does it sync with the phone without using bluetooth?

[@Alef.expess]

Great work. Always on the top keep on this rhythm you're one of the best. I wish you'll do a review of the amazfit bip very soon

[@Alef.expess]

I, m following you from Morocco 😉

[@Alef.expess]

Francisco Simões Ferreira Alves lol i didn't pay attention to the missing e. Anyway I've rectified the shot. Thanks

[@pittskn]

I cant figure out how to set the different modes of exercise like bicycling running walking

[@SWT]

Check out the full review video on this watch. This video is only about an update.

[@SebaP1991]

Can you jump to certain point during the song?

[@keepitpeel]

I have this watch and it is very good, though there is one annoyance that I have found with the GPS. I also have an old Garmin forerunner 25 watch and I find the speed of the GPS connection much better on the Garmin. So, when I set off on a run the Garmin has picked up the GPS signal before I've left the house, whilst the Amazfit still hasn't locked on until I'm about 0.5k from home. Also, I prefer the Garmin phone app as it seems to have more data than the Amazfit one and I also prefer the presentation of the data (I'm on IOS) If you are thinking of purchasing it might be a good idea to check out reviews (like this one!) that look at the app in detail.

[@SWT]

Thanks for your report and comparison. Good information to know.

[@JimiiVlog]

Is this water proof? Can I swing with this?

[@abdalhameedghaith]

Best Chinese smart watch,,I have no regrets buying it

[@SWT]

Great to hear. It's lasted more than most, and is the most regularly updated smartwatch I've ever come across. It does way more now than when it first started. The only other one for which the company really stands behind and keeps improving is Ticwear's Ticwatch 2, another excellent, but completely different, smartwatch. Congratulations on being No.1 commenter, too!

[@jorgechiclana1297]

Very nice watch. Think I might pull the trigger and get one soon.

Hello, can someone tell me how i can get 11 days battery life? With connected smartphone or without? What is the battery life in days for a normal use, push notifications, no GPS and not always on display? Is there a function integration when i lift up my hand then the display goes on?

[@SWT]

You should do pretty good with the Amazfit PACE because of the low power screen technology. You're not going to get 11 days from any watch that has to light up the screen to see it. Check this one and the SMA-TIME which gets 30 days easily. Same screen technology. Also, check out the next video I put up. It's in the same 'class' as these.

[@migadadon2]

i have small wrist, would this look too big?

[@SWT]

Look toward the end of the video where I show this one beside a smaller square watch. That will give you an idea. I also show the measurements, and you can cut a circle out of cardboard and tape it on your arm, then look in the mirror to get an idea of the size.

[@Hallack0]

I really like the idea of smartwatches, but I don't care for the fitness site. I'd like to have one to sync with my calendar or to use as a personal assistent, for quick searchs and stuff. I'd like something like the pace or the ticwatch for the stability and battery life, but they lack the stand alone side that I'd like.

[@SWT]

You're not alone. We all want something like that.

[@swashere84]

Is that English or international version?

[@SWT]

This was sent to me as the original English version. I don't have the International version to see if it supports more languages than English. You may find more information here: amazfitcentral.com/category/amazfit-pace/

[@swashere84]

I'm waiting to get the English version and didn't know about this update. It's awesome now, no need to install the international firmware. Thanks for your reply.

[@pitousorith9488]

if I buy this watch in Chinese version, can I possibly change the language to English?

[@SWT]

Not on the Amazfit PACE English version. It might be possible on the International version, which is what is being sold now, but you'd have to check Amazfit.com to be sure. Also check here: amazfitcentral.com/category/amazfit-pace/

[@jimmmakos70]

nice watch, but i can t find battery to replace, in greece.i m gonna through it away

[@atblacksam]

Amazfit Pace purchased based on your reviews :-) For me it is more an upgrade of a sports watch. My son has the iwatch series 3 and for me that is more of a smartwatch (many more apps) but also too expensive. At the amazfit you can not add extra apps like Facebook, instagram or shazam, or am I wrong ?? Also don't recieve message from my phone on the amazfit :-( answering phone i think that wil only work when using bleuthoot ears ? Now for myself the amazfit Pace is more than enough I use for cycling,running and also fun to see how much I slept. Only the heartrate when cycling outside is not really accurate when I'm in the house that is correct but with the iwatch has the same problem. When watching the average heartbeat after the sport this is about right. Have been able to do with the battery for 2 days and then there was 18% left over (working with gps for 4 hours) Sorry for my English but i am from Belgium and speak dutch

[@SWT]

Thanks for the report Sam. Good information. I don't think you can download apps to the Pace like you can to an Android watch. Hopefully the watches support your language as well.

[@atblacksam]

SmartWatch Ticks language in english is just fine for the watch The most importent was that I only sent 100€ and data sync. with strava is easy with my phone now 😀

[@hagaming2609]

Would love this watch, but cant stand the flat tire. Hopefully if they make a second version its full screen.

[@SWT]

Wow, it's so small I didn't notice it. I had to pick it up to verify it was there as I didn't even see it! But you're right, it has one. I'd call it low pressure rather than flat though. ;)

[@zuberathar5293]

What is the difference between original xiaomi huami amazfit heartrate Smartwhatch and original xiaomi huami amazfit sports Bluetooth Smartwhatch

[@SWT]

Wow, I have no idea. Pretty confusing naming process they are using.

[@tarikgoing]

Can you do a review of the Allcall w1 smartwatch?

[@SWT]

Yes! And the LEMFO LEM6, both are on their way here soon.

[@tarikgoing]

SmartWatch Ticks thanks

[@pplus7143]

Price with coupon ???

[@SWT]

Oh my, it's constantly changing. The coupon may be expired by now.

[@angelo-ik9lr]

if still Chinese version and then i will update it will be english?

[@SWT]

No. You will need to flash firmware supporting English to get English. Updating will still be in Chinese.

[@angelo-ik9lr]

SmartWatch Ticks how? Could you help me?

[@SWT]

I don't know how to do this for the Amazfit watches, but you can try asking for help here: amazfitcentral.com

[@angelo-ik9lr]

SmartWatch Ticks ok. Thanks so much

[@angelo-ik9lr]

did you hear about the version or model A1612 and A1602?

[@jefry_alhusaini]

compas in update amazfit it not work .. why??

[@SWT]

Wow, mine works but it's a bit sluggish and not as accurate. I don't know why. Have a look at these places. They are Amazfit focused: amazfitcentral.com/category/amazfit-pace/ us.amazfit.com

[@cuongngo1344]

I was wondering if I could watch the picture through this watch?

[@SWT]

It is a fitness watch, not a watch for pictures. You might be able to create a custom watch face using one of your pictures, but the watch doesn't have a Gallery for showing pictures like on your phone.

[@putrautama1]

thank you for you complete new feature on this smartwatch i want to request for your next new amazfit pace next year haha, i hope so thank you so much Regards from indonesia

[@SWT]

Hi Putra. Oh yes, I will review the next Amazfit Pace when they release one! It's a very nice watch. Be sure to check out the Ticwatch line as well. I have a new comparison video going up on them next!

[@hellomyissuper18]

Damn, coupon is expired :/

[@SWT]

Yikes! Really? I'll check for you. This was just issued. I can see one being expired from a year ago, but this just went up. I'll try and get it renewed or extended. Thanks for letting me know.

Just released! AMAZFIT PACE Gearbest Buying Link: www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_689346.html Coupon: MRHuami Price: $80.99 Expiration date: 2017-12-31 Note: Coupon limit 30 units! Coupon won't work when units are sold out.

[@subhajeetmahapatra8426]

Hey sir, would it be too much to ask if i ask you to email a coupon when you get it. Becauss i really really want to buy it... 😋😋

[@SWT]

That would be too much to try and keep up with. I'm constantly updating coupons from each of the many partners on many different watches. In this case, I think the coupon will remain the same, it's just that they sell out of the quantity they have available. Try again around 11/12 or 11/13 as I think they will release some more for our KZbin use. You apply the coupon at checkout. If it's active and there's a unit in stock seaside for the coupon price, your final price will update to the coupon price. If they are all sold out, the final price won't change. Just don't finish the purchase and try again the next day. I don't even know when they replenish inventory. You just have to keep trying, or be willing to pay the higher price. Sorry, best I can do.

[@subhajeetmahapatra8426]

SmartWatch Ticks Hehe... Thank you..

[@subhajeetmahapatra8426]

SmartWatch Ticks ... I have been following your reviews since 6 months or so... And you have been great... Reviewing some of the watches i didn't even know existed .. lol.. and best part is most other channels do not review such a wide range of watches. So here's a appreciator wishing u luck. .

[@SWT]

Thanks for the kind feedback. Yea, there's another whole aspect to this channel with all the behind the scenes hunting down new technology and coordinating getting samples for review. You guys get to see the end of a long process. I've got a huge wave of about nine new watches/bands on the way in right now, so we're going to be busy through the end of the year!

[@subhajeetmahapatra8426]

SmartWatch Ticks .. really excited.. keep them flowing

[@anunaymaheshwari3653]

Thanks for the review, I really seem to be interested in buying this one but got a bit late, the coupon you provided has expired. Is there any chances for a new coupon? Please!

[@SWT]

Here you go! They pulled another rabbit out of the hat for us: AMAZFIT PACE Gearbest Buying Link: www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_689346.html?lkid=10117036 Coupon: SticksHuami Price: $89.99 Note: If coupon doesn't work, quantity is sold out. Coupon expires 2018-02-28

[@anunaymaheshwari3653]

SmartWatch Ticks Wow! You are awesome ... Thanks man! By the way, Xiaomi said that they are going to show off the English variants of the Pace 2 and 2S which are already in China with the name of Stratos if I am right. But obviously there is a price rise, so do you still recommend the Pace? Or is there another watch for the same or similar price that you recommend over it? Also, I am not sure about the display, it is good enough? TIA!

[@SWT]

I won't really know about the Amazfit 2 until I can get my hands on one, but I'll look for "Stratos". Once one of my partners has one, even on preorder, I'll request it for review. I know they have done a lot of work on the firmware for the PACE, adding features and squashing bugs. If their process is similar for new devices, you may get more of a 'beta' experience at first with weekly updates for a year. You may do better with the original PACE for now, and think of upgrading in 2019.

[@anunaymaheshwari3653]

SmartWatch Ticks Thanks a lot!

[@kannapi]

It says the coupon has reached its usage limit

[@SWT]

Can you please try again and let me know ASAP if it works for you? It is supposed to be reactivated with more stock in supply as of NOW!

[@kannapi]

It still says expired

[@subhajeetmahapatra8426]

Is MRHuami the coupon to be used??

[@buildupasb07]

Thank you I've just ordered one using your coupon.

[@SWT]

Awesome! It's when folks support us and the vendors through using the links and coupons provided here that we continue to get more of the latest watches for review. I also appreciate when you (and others) give a video a thumbs up, share a video, subscribe, and occasionally click on an ad you might like. It's a bit like leaving a tip at a restaurant if you enjoyed the meal and service. Thanks!

[@debayansaha820]

Is Gearbest a trusted site?? And they replace if I get a faulty one?? I want to order one watch but I am worried whether its one of those scam sites

[@buildupasb07]

This is my first time ever to purchase items from this site. I normally order from alliexpress.com and get my stuff on time every time. Gearbest.com, on the other hand is a well known site for online purchasing with good reputation. I do not have any reluctance to order from them. They have return policy on site.

[@SWT]

Gearbest is one of the major sites handling all kinds of electronics. As with any Chinese company, they do business differently than other countries. If you receive a broken watch, then, typically, you'll be offered a partial refund for problems, but you need to contact them within a couple of days of receiving the watch. After that, good luck. I'm not talking Gearbest specifically, but all of them. The prices are really cheap, so what you give up is easy returns. You see, the higher priced brands build into their pricing an extra surcharge which they pass to everybody to offset the refunds and returns. There's no margin for that from China. If you could get the same $70 China watch for $120 at your local Macy's or Target, then take it back in a month for a full no questions asked refund, then you'd be getting the same value for your money. Believe it or not, with most places that offer easy refunds, you're paying an insurance policy premium added to the price of each item for that guarantee. Think about it. In the end, they need to make money, and if they eat the cost of refunds, they absolutely have to pass that back on to the costumers through higher prices, otherwise no profit. China works on practically zero markup. Refunding the cost of one watch might equal the profit they would have made on selling 100 of them. So they are going to argue (excuse me...barter) with you to take, say, $15 refund on your $70 broken watch. Not happy? How about $45? Neither of you want to pay $50 to send it back, so they want to give you a little money and have you keep the broken watch. I've probably received close to 200 watches, and I've had three arrive broken, and five others die within a year. That's about a 3.5% defective rate. Not bad, really. Now remember, you can ONLY get the watches I review here from China (usually). You may have a bit more leverage if you can buy through Amazon depending if it is viewed as a 3rd party seller or an Amazon Prime retailer (you'll see "fulfilled by Amazon" in that case). Of course, it will cost more (I wonder why?), but you might have a better chance at a full refund. There, International Business 101 course abbreviated. You get what you pay for, and you can't pay for insurance on a broken watch built into their pricing when you buy from China. Not how they do business.

[@subhajeetmahapatra8426]

abdulla boubshait did the watch cost 89.99 dollar or 85.99 dollar after using the code?

[@hellomyissuper18]

If the Promotion Code works again i will buy one amazfit. Thank you for you dedication to fix the Promotion code.

[@SWT]

They completely sold out! The next batch will be in for promo code sale November 10th, so place your order then (and quickly as quantities will again be limited) to get the coupon discount.

[@SWT]

Here you go! But act fast.... AMAZFIT PACE Gearbest Buying Link: www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_689346.html Coupon: MRHuami Price: $80.99 Expiration date: 2017-12-31 Note: Coupon limit 30 units! Coupon won't work when units are sold out.

[@hellomyissuper18]

Thanks a lot. I bought one and a Amazfit BIP. I know, i said i want to buy a round smartwatch/smartband but the BIP has a battery life of 45 days. That is awesome and a compromise between design and daily use. When did you make a review for the BIP. Will it come?

[@SWT]

I still can't get a Bit yet! Crazy! It's like they aren't out there. I'll keep trying. You'll probably get yours before I get mine! Then I'll have to let you do the review. :)

[@hellomyissuper18]

I think why i get it faster then you is i come from germany. I also advised to make Reviews but unfortunately have No Time to make Reviews. For 4 weeks i bought a xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and considered to make a review about that nice Smartphone. I Like the Brand xiaomi and curious how good this two smartwatches will be. Many thanks again for the quick answer and the Promotion Code.

[@ASPnovosibirsk]

if only you could reply to notifications it would be priceless

[@SWT]

Haha, there's always just one more thing that keeps these from being perfect. That leaves more ream for improvement!

[@ASPnovosibirsk]

SmartWatch Ticks controlling music has brought me back to thinking of buying them though.. *fingers crossed* maybe the feature will appear in a future update

[@NesteaRobleMan]

Actually, you can sideload an apk known as "watch droid assistant/phone" from Lumatic Software. With this app you can see all past notifications (not only the title, but also the full content) and configure predefined answers. You can also start a phone call (start via watch, talk/listen through mobile ). I've read that the CN firmware has already some early-stage voice implementation (it has a microphone on its left side). This makes future software/apps development interesting and increases the watch's potential.

[@Balunliinfi]

Xda developer s may consider that

[@kelebgadol]

....at 11min, 23sec of your video, I think in order to HEAR the playback, you have to use bluetooth earplugs/headphones, per another video I saw. I ordered one at Gearbest, during their 11.11 (annual Nov 11th) sale for 89.99, but am still waiting for it to arrive.

[@migzrod]

You sound like another KZbinr.. Do you know all you can vegas? Anyways,great video! :)

[@SWT]

Don't know all you can vegas, but it sounds like it would be a fun channel!

[@alrod6228]

Digital meter thickness... great idea :)

[@SWT]

Yea, I just gotta remember I have it when I do reviews. Totally forgot to use in on the past three smart bands. Perhaps I do an end you year Fat Albert watch thickness video and just line them all up and measure them.

[@JeesGeorgephotography]

Can I read the whole email or WhatsApp message if I press the notification?

[@zabique]

there is an app that does that for you

[@JeesGeorgephotography]

Which app? What happens when I tab on the gmail notification?

[@abisekchand392]

Bought amazfit bout a week ago n it never seems to disappoint expect the charging dock..😂😏

[@SWT]

Yea, it's a pain to align the watch with the dock. It should have some sort of alignment pin or guide. I'm always pressing it down just a bitt off center and, of course, it doesn't charge. At least it lights up to tell you when it is connected. That's good.

[@cpunkn1294]

how to know my amazfit is authentic?

[@SWT]

I don't think they sell to third party companies to rebrand their products, so I would imagine if you have one it is authentic.

[@cpunkn1294]

SmartWatch Ticks thanks a lot

[@kleanlins]

awesome video mate

[@SWT]

Thanks! It's easy when you've got a really professional watch in front of you. This one is very cool.

[@moki.h7]

now xiomi is too famous

[@SWT]

Almost like Samsung and Apple! I'm still trying to learn to pronounce it right. I hear various different versions from different commentators. Actual Chinese pronunciation is probably most accurate, but I don't have the mouth movement down to replicate it. They are getting famous globally though!

[@ronypsp]

@@SWT She Ou Mee. Ou in Ouch. She-ou needs to be short and quick. Xiao Mi = little rice = millets. Love your channel.

[@AbdullahKhan-rx1ku]

Does this watch give notification

[@SWT]

Yes

[@kannapi]

any new code ??

[@SWT]

I'm pretty sure it will be the same code, it will "work" when you apply it at checkout if there is inventory in stock, otherwise the price won't change. I haven't heard of an update to stock yet. Just keep trying! Coupon is good to the end of the year.

[@kannapi]

It still says expired ..

[@SWT]

Grrrr. I've sent them a screen shot of my 'expired coupon' response as well. They said they have more stock. I'll keep you posted. Sorry about this, but you'll be the first to know after I know.

[@SWT]

I'm told the price is going up to $89.99. I'm trying to get a better price, even if it's just for a few units, for folks like you who have been waiting for more stock. We'll see what they can do.

[@kannapi]

SmartWatch Ticks thank you ..

[@Itssanaullahrajpoot]

I like the new update

[@SWT]

Yes, it's getting better and better!

[@angelguidesabbath]

Can you reply to texts on the watch?

[@SWT]

No, there's no keyboard from what I can find.

[@henrikmathiasen3958]

It sucks to live in Denmark.. cant buy it here, and if you buy it on-line outside of EU you have to pay high tax when you get it 🤤

[@SWT]

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like a good business opportunity for someone who wants to sell watches within Denmark and can work with the vendors wholesale.

[@keepitpeel]

Depends, I am in the UK and bought it on Ebay. The seller despatched from the UK (still in the EU at the moment!), so perhaps try that. I didn't pay any additional import tax.

[@p36jet]

Watch is crap. After last update and even before that I am unable to connect to app. It takes 10 20 times and if I’m lucky it connects. The app has little useable info. Don’t waste your money. Verified purchaser.

[@redazemirli]

Battey life please than you

[@SWT]

Check the links in the show notes to take you to Amazfit official website and another cool site. You'll probably find your answer there.

[@PrasantaKrPatra]

thanks for the dimentions

[@SWT]

You're welcome.

[@mladen2004]

In the first 15 minutes of review watch lost over 5% of the power. Far to much for energy efficient watch.

[@SWT]

Remember, the video is edited from separate segments, so 15 minutes of finished video may be more than 15 minutes of actual watch "on" time. A better gauge would be to make not of the time on the watch when it is first turned on and the time on the watch 15 minutes into the video. If it's and entirely different date, then I most likely recorded over different days and have no idea if I charged between days or not.

[@zabique]

Thanks Dominik! I wasn't aware of this site. I've linked to it in the show notes under each of the Amazfit PACE videos. Good find.

[@udehstephen6526]

Nice video, won't mind if you gift me this one
