tbh this is the reason i like watching you more. not everyone is a triathlon and a sport guy. your videos shows that there are always a suitable watch for everyone. i used to think youre biased to garmin lol hahahahah but as time goes by i change my mind! good video tho you sold me at the amazfit balance video!🤣. super happy with it. good gps, good hr, and most importantly good battery!

[ahmadfreedy]

I’m already had one after watch your review, totally satisfied with it, so many features and still can’t believe it only cost you 150$, very underrated watch, graciass

[Dekns]

Whoaa honestly love your reviews they are the best! Never been disappointed with your recommendations and you give enough info, stats and specs, real usage AND it’s not overwhelming. So glad to be early

[SteveShankles]

I have the Amazfit T Rex, Cheetah and Falcon, just like the watch you just videoed, Amazfit for the price is great, but however, Garmins forerunner 965 has stolen my heart, because it's just a great watch, and GPS is way more accurate, thanks brother

[addisontaylor]

Ty for the analysis. I was really helped by the end comparison of similar watches with different price points

[fulalascaos]

Your reviews are amazing! I have one simple suggestion: why don't you show the numbers (size, weight, resolution, etc) on the screen? It would be much easier for people to get them, especially non-native English speakers :)

[bbozlaker]

Amazing specs and capabilities for such a low price.

[hdoka]

I just wanted this watch to listen to music etc without a phone
The 250MB killed the deal for me

[angelgalarza]

Could you please re do some amzfit watches reviews, they just did a GPS update, and my wife's active he been more accurate than my coros pace 3 watch 😮

[txcrna]

Thanks! Would be interested to see a comparison to the Bip 5😎

[jaboneros]

Thanks for this review! I hope Amazfit will allow other HR sensors to connect to it, and its GPS accuracy improves.

[iberiksoderblom]

Most recreational runner doesnt need more accuracy than this and get more than they need i general health data.
So for most, this watch is "The One".
Most runner bye a running watch way beyond what they actually need and can use to its fullest.
Like the occasional weekend "when the weather is good" cyclist, that invest in some expensive carbon frame, instead of buying a better suited alu-frame and then invest in better food every day.

Looks like there is 2 versions of this black watch. One with a chrome bezel and the other with a darker gunmetal colored bezel.

[mart.n]

I was very skeptical of this Amazfit brand until I sold my SE 2nd-gen and bought GTS 3 for 40 EUR from my Telecom provider.

And now... I', m wondering do I need a more expensive sports watch? Yes, the GPS and HR monitor aren't the best, but at the end of the 10km the difference between Apple Watch SE 2nd-gen is not so big. Just a couple of meters and 2-3 units of bpm. And a battery for more than a week...

[azizazhar]

Can the side button be used to start / pause or stop a workout?

[roady]

I do have this watch you do have Amazon Alexa, which you can ask her just about anything even have some knock, knock jokes, a great looking screen very deep blacks And yes, fitness all the way with the zepp app which is actually pretty good included in your viewing screen they have added although you end it manually but still blood pressure great great add on it’s small but powerful. I have the iPhone 13 Pro and I will switch occasionally between my Apple Watch series 7, and the amaze fit active phone calls make them answer phone calls no problem phone list quite a bit there for roughly 159 or so dollars on Amazon and maze fit has been around for quite a while solid product

[PremNistal]

Thanks for your review, how is it different from Active Edge? Are you going to review Active Edge?

[micheller]

I'm going to try this watch out after seeing this great review. I have a Polar and am bored.

[harshbimal]

Hello can you answer its heart rate senser are head to head in terms of acuracy with Galaxy Watch 6

[nurnaziranoorezam]

Is the green light sensor at the back of the watch is light on both side or only one side? I just wondering, mine is only light on for one side only.
