  Beautiful watch with an excellent clarity screen. Its battery lasts about a week. On the downside, the small Bluetooth range (at 5 meters it doesn't receive any notifications) and frequent disconnections, especially on iPhone. At the €49 I bought it for, it was a good purchase!

  Excellent product considering its purchase price. Aesthetic that does not go unnoticed. Looks much more expensive than it is. Excellent screen. Very bright and detailed. AMOLED, which is hard to find at this price. Battery with very long autonomy. I would have liked it to be a little larger in size, but this does not affect my overall very positive opinion at all.

  I got it because I liked the titanium color as I saw it in the box photo at the store. No, it is not titanium but some zinc alloy karma, however, it looks quite quality. There is always the risk with these alloys over the years that it may fade or even get scratched, and we don't know what color it has underneath. The silver version in stainless steel looks even more quality. If I didn't have many such watches, I would prefer the silver one. In the box, it comes with two bracelets, one quality metal and one silicone, which is also good. All are standard 22mm, meaning you can put your own, for example, a brown leather one. For the metal bracelet, there is also a link removal tool inside to adjust it to your size.

  The truth is that for its price, it does quite a lot, and we shouldn't complain. It is impressive how with so little money you get something with such rich features and decent material quality.

  It can also answer calls as if it were a Bluetooth headset (mic/speaker) with good sound, at least inside the house, but the annoying (negative) thing is that even when you answer a call from the phone or an app, it sends it to the watch, and you have to switch it back to the phone. Other companies don't do this, and only answers from the watch sound from the watch. Fortunately, there is the option to just notify you of the call without functioning as a headset, and in this mode, you can simply decline the call. I have to use it this way, but when I want to call from the watch, I activate it from there (the menu on the watch is also available).

  Not only can you answer, but you can also call from the watch by either directly typing the number or through some contacts that you make "shortcuts" to (not too many) and select them from the watch. Convenient if you don't want to take your phone out of the bag.

  It receives notifications effortlessly from SMS, Instagram, Messenger, Facebook, and anything that can generate notifications on your phone, of course, after you give the appropriate permissions in the app. The Greek font it has is excellent and readable, only that emojis don't work (a classic problem). Obviously, you can't reply, only see messages and notifications. It doesn't have pre-replies to send. The notification is with vibration on the wrist (or without vibration if you set it, meaning it just lights up).

  It does not have GPS, but it can measure steps, heart rate, and blood oxygen, as well as stress (whatever that may mean), which in the watch menu has been incorrectly translated as 'pressure'. And the app has some incorrect translations. For example, it calls the 'call log' menu how much it allows you to choose watch faces.

  Let me emphasize that in my opinion, it has a negative (quite serious) aspect; when you turn your wrist to light up the screen to see the time, sometimes it doesn't catch it, and when it usually does, there is a noticeable delay, and this is annoying to me. Sometimes I have to shake my hand vigorously to make it understand or press a button, and even then, sometimes it doesn't light up immediately. Compared to another (branded) watch, the difference was noticeable (twice the time to light up, not to mention when it doesn't light up at all). You get used to it, but it annoys.

  You might need the always-on feature that shows an analog or digital clock all the time on the screen, with the downside that the battery drains faster. I haven't tried this feature systematically enough to know the difference.

  The case dimensions are 46 mm wide up to the crown and 52 mm lug to lug and 12 mm thick with a 22 mm strap. The display is AMOLED (excellent colors/resolution) with small bezels. Indoors, you need to lower it from the other side. On average, I operate it at two out of five. As mentioned, it also has an always-on clock function.

  On the positive side, the app it uses is stable and does not seem to disconnect (at least on a Xiaomi phone). It has several settings and some graphics for sleep, heart rate, stress, and oxygen saturation measurements. I would like it to be a bit richer in graphics and more immediate, so I don't have to go into submenus.

  The battery seems satisfactory as it lasts over seven days, although I haven't done enough tests yet (first charge on the 7th day is at 20% towards 10%). About 12%-15% a day with my usage (I take it off at night). The instructions say to charge it with a 0.5A 5-volt charger, but I don't think it will have a problem with fast charging chargers (it will draw what it needs) unless it thinks the battery wears out faster. The cable that comes with the watch is magnetic and sticks easily to its back. If you put it in a power-saving mode, it lasts much longer, exceeding two weeks, but then it practically becomes just a watch. However, it easily switches to this mode from the menu curtain, so you can put it in power-saving mode at night, for example.

  The measurements (heart rate, steps) are similar to those of another Amazfit Bip S watch I have, and I think they are sufficient for simple use. The sports options are quite a few, but I haven't studied them yet; however, I think those of you who are athletes will prefer better solutions. It is not a watch for sports as it doesn't even have GPS.

  As for the rest, it offers timers, countdowns, and when you are in these, you DO NOT see the time, and NO, they do not go into the "background" when they are running. To return to the home screen, you have to stop them!! Quite annoying because to have a timer or countdown, you can't see the time or anything else, and the screen is continuously on.

  It also has a calculator, some "games" (which you can load a few more if you want), it has quite a few "watch faces," but you can only have 1 custom face that you can send from the app. It has three other "permanent" ones that do not change. So what you want must be changed from the app every so often. I would prefer to be able to replace the factory ones with my choice.

  It has three buttons, the middle one is also a rotating knob besides being a button. Unfortunately, their functions are not as useful as they could be. The bottom button can be customized. The crown, although it rotates to change the menu and works as a button, does not select the menu that is currently highlighted when pressed; you have to touch it with your finger. Generally, pressing it does nothing useful. The top button is simply for activating the screen, while sometimes it works as a back key.

  Theoretically, it is waterproof IP68 (3 ATM), but I will not test it in water because it does not inspire confidence.

  As I quickly realized, the watch is practically "generic" (OEM from China) and you will find similar ones with the same mechanism, identical display, and unchanged or nearly identical software (same settings, same/common watch faces, just slightly different icons) where only the brand name changes (I won't mention what you can find it as, personally I have identified 3-4 brands that are the same). They usually have a better price but not with such a good case (usually they come with silicone straps, plastic cases, etc.). The metal bracelet on this one is of good quality, and overall the design is what makes it stand out from its siblings, albeit at a slightly higher price

  For me, I would like a slightly larger dial, the touchscreen is good and doesn't lag, the battery lasts a week with normal use, I don't know how accurate the measurements are, the rest works perfectly, the purchase in black color looks luxurious, it's worth the money.

  Amazing screen.
  Amazing steel bracelet.
  Connections and notifications are just fine.
  Calls are clear.
  If you want accurate measurements, spend another 200 euros to get them.

  Verified purchase

  1) Not accurate measurements at all (10% deviation on running)
  2) There is not PAUSE function in the sport activities
  There is no pace reading even within the app

  Unacceptable!!!!

  3) Touch screen is extremely sensitive . When I do swim it starts with swimming and then turns to activities like hiking; football or other crazy things

  In short if you look a sport watch just skip it
