Amazfit Bip 3 Smart Watch for Android iPhone, Health Fitness Tracker with 1.69" Large Display,14-Day Battery Life, 60+ Sports Modes, Blood Oxygen Heart Rate Monitor, 5 ATM Water-resistant (Black)

This is probably my 5th smart watch, but my first after leaving the Pebble ecosystem. I was very attached to the Pebble approach to smart watches, and it's been impossible to find an exact replacement. For the price, this is probably as good as it gets.I've had this for over a year, and if it broke tomorrow, I would replace it.Pros:- Excellent battery life, as good as advertised. I haven't keep precise tabs on how long, but easily a couple of weeks. I wear this day and night, and recharge it periodically "when I remember" while in the shower. Battery life is a top priority for me - I am absolutely not going to have a watch I have to charge daily.- Light weight and a good size - not too big or too small. Comfortable to wear all the time and forget about.- Has the features I care most about - sleep tracking, exercise tracking, message/email notifications, and alarm/stopwatch.- Design is inoffensive (most casual people think this is an Apple product for some reason)- WaterproofCons:- Really miss the always-on display from the Pebbles- The plastic display gets light scratches easily (but not so badly it interferes with operation)- Unlike other people, I find the Zepp app irritating. It buries what I want under too many menu layers, and is set up to constantly push you to purchase add-ons.- I'm not in love with the watch face selection- The included silicon watch strap didn't last long, maybe a few months at most.Neither a pro/con - the all-plastic design is not my preference, but for the price exactly what I expected.Overall, this is really decent product for the price. Honestly I was surprised at how reliable and sturdy it's been - every smart watch I've had has had some kind of hardware issue or problem by the 1 year mark. But this little device keeps trooping and has the minimum set of feature I require. Every compromise (materials, screen type) that's a demerit for me is an understandable function of price.I would absolutely recommend this if your criteria are the same as mine.

I don't care about so called health tracking in my watch. I just want the time, date, and my notifications, since I often miss them on the phone itself. Thankfully the app lets you turn off all the extra stuff if you don't want it. it still counts steps and apparently tracks sleep but this doesn't seem to affect battery life. I've gone over 2 weeks on a charge more than once.One of my favorite features is how you can schedule the time when you don't want it to light up the screen when you raise your arm - I have it scheduled for 11pm to 6am so it doesn't bother my wife while I sleep. That said, sensitivity could be improved when it's active - I'd say about half the time I raise or turn my wrist to check the time or see what the notification was, it doesn't light up.Even the strap has a nice feature - the rubber loop to hold the extra strap from flapping around has a little button on the inside to click into the holes on the strap so it stays put and doesn't let it come loose. It's the little things that matter!Loads of great customization options - if you like to tinker with options, this watch will be a rabbit hole for you. I kinda wish some functions were available in the main menu, like countdown timers, instead of only being available thru the button long press. I also wish that when I set a custom countdown timer, it would remember that time so I could use it again. For example, I often need a 3 minute timer for various things, and it's tedious to set that every time I need it.The only time my phone lost connection with the watch was when I accidentally turned off Bluetooth, so of course it couldn't connect.Overall though, this is the nicest "cheap" smart watch I've seen. Worlds better than the junk $20-30 ones that never stay connected and therefore don't show notifications. Definitely recommend this watch!
