" ... Nice watch, very good battery life, highly recommend. ... "
" ... The battery range is excellent and has lasted well over a week between charges that take less than an hour. ... "
" ... Honestly you will not find a better watch for the price looks amazing and fashionable battery life is incredible. ... "
" ... The battery life is ridiculously good! ... "
" ... My watch has 33% battery life left, it was fully charged 16 days ago, so it should last another 8 days, meaning one charge will have lasted 24 days. ... "
" ... Unbelievable battery life ... "
" ... Charging fully in around 2-3hrs, plenty of power for what I need. ... "
" ... Battery life is as good as claimed. ... "

" ... The display is awesome! ... "
" ... I mainly wear a Smartwatch for push notifications and the Amoled screen is super clear. ... "
" ... The screen is much better too. ... Shame it doesn't have nfc and I miss the always on screen but at this price I'm not complaining. ... "
" ... Excellent watch , turn off the always on screen and the all day blood pressure monitor and this watch will easily last a month on one charge , awesome ... "
" ... The screen is fantastic and there are a load of available watch faces. ... "
" ... A bright vibrant screen. ... "
" ... Although this does take a big hit if you use always on display, excellent product, great value for money ... "
" ... A fitness watch with battery life and the OLED screen as the standout features. ... The image is very sharp with no noticeable jagged edges. ... The display can be seen outdoors in bright light by angling the watch face slightly to get the best view. ... "

" ... The companion app is an ever evolving app with simple straight forward options ... "
" ... The only downfall I had was that notifications weren't coming through but after finding an app called notify and fitness everything now works perfectly and I even have acces to some bonus graphs etc. ... "
" ... App would benefit from being able to access ranges and trends, to allow monitoring of progress ... "
" ... This means the OS is optimised for battery life. ... Android 9 has very aggressive battery saving features and these need to be taken into account to ensure notifications to the watch continuously come through. ... This is something that is Android related and other smart watches are subject to the same settings/ restrictions. ... "
" ... App and watch easy to use definitely recommend ... "
" ... Setting up to my Samsung mobile phone was simple and took a matter of only minutes because I already had the Amazfit installed having previously having an Amazfit Stratos. ... Even in the last couple of days the watch has received two download updates via my phone app. ... This makes 3 software updates it has received in the space of just a few weeks. ... "
" ... I’ve owned most smart watches starting from the Pebble, Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy and this is by far the most versatile. ... "
" ... Great watch with simple operation and App. ... "

" ... App would benefit from being able to access ranges and trends, to allow monitoring of progress ... "
" ... The app itself Is so so useful, allows you to customise your watch and also view all your data thats been collected is arguably the best feature of the watch. ... "
" ... There is also a huge watch face community online, download AmazTools from the App Store and you have an endless list of high quality faces to choose from. ... "
" ... Great watch with simple operation and App. ... "
" ... This is deliberately a phone without games or apps and is focused to a smart looking all day fitness tracking watch. ... Certainly the FitBit applications slicker looking. ... Android 9 has very aggressive battery saving features and these need to be taken into account to ensure notifications to the watch continuously come through. ... This is something that is Android related and other smart watches are subject to the same settings/ restrictions. ... "
" ... A main big point that most people wouldn't think of is how customisable it is, the app comes with a bunch of new faces and you can even find 3rd party apps woth loads of options to change the face of the watch. ... The only downfall I had was that notifications weren't coming through but after finding an app called notify and fitness everything now works perfectly and I even have acces to some bonus graphs etc. ...
