Our verdict of the Xiaomi Amazfit Pace: For the price, we can wholeheartedly recommend the Amazfit. It's certainly not without flaws, but it delivers on most of its features while looking great.

Xiaomi does make some awesome affordable devices, and this smartwatch is no different. Loved the design and the battery backup.

Do not kid yourself. On every update of the Amazfit App, I need to reset the bluetooth unlocking because for some reason, it never works anymore after an app update. After the recent watch update, I was forced to unpair and repair the watch for it to be able to finish the update and actually be able to use the watch. But... while I usually last about 5 days on 1 battery charge with contiuous heartbeat tracking on, I can suddenly not reach 2 days anymore. It seems the GPS is constantly on and cannot be turned off. There are always problems for the user on every app or watch update. It looks like not one update is properly tested before being released. Keep away from Huami Amazfit watches or apps, if you want to enjoy your time using a smartwatch or an activity tracker.

Hi Dave, thank's for the review,
I wanna know if the smart watch is confortable while sleeping, because i think it's not very small like a miband 2 whiche i carry always in my hand.
And if you use it as a basic smart watch without heart rating, gprs or apps notifications, how the battery life will last ?

Fine for those who don't do actual exercise, enjoy fiddling with technology and love self-affirmation. My step counter picked up more steps when I was playing Xbox than it did when I was outdoors. I spent more time updating it and reading blogs to sort out problems, than I did wearing it. And after 2 weeks, just the sweat from my wrist was enough to corrode the internals and kill it. No waterproofing is a glaring omission for a so-called 'sport' watch.

No vibration or notification info. Dissapointed

Looks all wrong to big and just looks very plastic to me and at 140 just to much money for a plastic watch
