Almost a Smart Watch - Amazfit Band 5

SUBSCRIBE 🔔

Don't spend hundreds of dollars on a fitness tracker until you checkout budget options like the Amazfit Band 5.

Now, this band lives as a close relative to the very popular Xiaomi Mi Bands, as discussed in the video the Zepp app of the Amazfit Band 5 makes it stand out from the crowd, but, that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider the rivals.

Shoutout to Amazfit for sending their band for review, as highlighted in the video, there's no payment or terms for the review, simply providing the band in exchange for my opinion.

"Fitbits are just like Tamagotchis, except the stupid animal you're trying to keep alive is you" - some funny meme I found 😂
For real though, the amount of days I glance down at my wrist and I'm hardly over 1000 steps is too damn high! How do you keep moving? what fitness tracker do you use?

How does this not have more views, I love this channel and wish more people knew about it

The quality is better than the quality of some Youtubers with 1 million subscribers

Great review man.. really well done. One of the better reviews I have seen on Youtube in awhile.

[sporadic]

Thanks for the deep and honest review. Not like the 100s of other guys out there just doing gloss overviews of every piece of tech they can get their hands on. Picked one up this week and am liking it so far!

[manifestanything]

Best breakdown of the band 5 I've seen. Well done👏🏼

[HyzbloodLyfe]

Great presentation! Well done! Thank you for your time!

[felipefontes]

Great review, bro. Greetings from Brazil!

[SukhJeerhYT]

I'm still surprised! Why you only have 5k subscribers, you are far better than other channels!

[Gryphin]

Amazing review, so much better than others fitness bands reviews on YouTube. You actually fully test it and use it unlike other where they just run the features out and show you the product. Keep doing great video and I hope you get more subscribers. I'm definitely thinking of buying one, I just need one to track the amount of calories I burn a day to help me loose a bit of weight, so hopefully this will do.

Thank you for this very detailed, comprehensive and real practical review! I originally picked up a few FitBit Inspire 3's for Black Friday but based on the ability to control music, among other things I'll get a few of these with the savings now it's $44 CAD only! Cheers!

QUESTION: Can “Morning Wake Alarm” be determined by sleep cycle? It would be a nice feature to have alarm go off when it knows I’m in “shallow sleep.”

[DFlemming]

Superb informative video!
Thank you.

Hi does it track activity automatically as i do regular, walking, running & cycling. Please suggest.

[kathleenhehir]

Awesome review, best I have seen.
I love my band 5 except swimming app seems faulty (getting a new one to verify); could not exit out of it after my open water 1/2 mile swim 🙁. Also indoor walking freaks out if connected to phone/zepp app since GPS is not moving much against steps, so a good activity to add by zepp/amazfit would be indoor walking. I am 62 yo but my PAI fitness age is 33, not sure how accurate that can be but my PAI has been ~150 for over a week which make me feel good.

Does the Mi Band 6 also track HR zones? Do they do this on the watch face or only on the app?

[donnalopezwildenstein]

My Amazfit band is locked and wants a PIN. I may need a factory reset, but HOW?

[venkatasubramanian]

Hi, can you help me in clarifying how many workouts does the band recognize automatically. Is it 2 workouts or 6 Workouts

[kenstanislav]

Can you record indoor cycling data on the zepp app? I realize you're not going anywhere but a record of the data is really important to me.

[MyTundra]

After I bought one of these, I realized how “inflated” my GTR 2 was as a lot of the core features are IDENTICAL. The three biggest advantages of the GTR 2 is the gorgeous larger display (cannot lie), on-board GPS for exercise (don’t care about this feature) and more exercise modes. Are these enough to warrant the far more expensive “upgrade?” To me, it’s a hard call, but I’m trying to clean up my wearable “bloat.” I’m even going to try a Charge 4, to see if it can replace my Sense I recently picked up. I just wish the Fitbit devices supported Pulse Ox spot checks like the far cheaper Amazfit devices I own can. Maybe an update will allow this?

As for the Amazfit Band 5, I will say features like Alexa are awesome to have on such a small device. Maybe the Amazfit Band 6 (don’t think we will see one, with parent company Xiaomi under scrutiny) will have the larger screen from the Xiaomi Band 6, and a few more bells and whistles?
