Love your video and the big face smart watches ❤ happy holidays❤
Happy holidays to you too!
Has the GPS function of the Bip 5 really gotten ~30% more accurate compared to the Bip U Pro? Bip U Pro only supports GPS standard, Bip 5 GPS+Galileo. Unfortunately my Bip U Pro reports too short distances when I go jogging, hence I am looking out for a new model. How well can the Bip 5 track indoor swimming (# of lanes) given it has no gyrometer?
Without gyro the accuracy is not superb. GPS is okay, but not as good as what it is with Amazfit Cheetah, for instance
Great, comprehensive review. 🎉👏
😊
How large is the screen and can u control the volume? Also how strong is the Bluetooth connection and do you suggest it would work on a one plus or Samsung better?
The connection can handle distances of up to a few meters. Being in a different room will perhaps make it drop.
Bluetooth signal depends from model to model (about smartphones). Only way to find out is to try
Hey, i need to buy a watch before tomorrow so please respond fast :C
Should i buy the bip 5 or the gts 4 mini (They are the same price), what are the differences between each one and which one do you prefer?
I need to get this watch for my mom because its her birthday party today, and she said she needs a big screen, it has to be accesible, so take that in mind too. Her current watch is the huawei watch fit, and she wants something like that or better. She needs a good balance in every aspect of the watch, but mainly activities and work stuff. the more features the better
Im sorry if this sounds overwhelming or annoying, but i really need to know this, so thanks for answering :)
If she likes the Watch fit, get the Fit 3, it has just been released. Or get the Redmi Watch 4
I watched both your reviews on Active 2 Samsung and this bip 5 I never opened my active 2 I got two years ago. so, I don't know if I should finally open it and return my bip 5 i got yesterday as a gift. or keep lol. I'm a runner I didn't realize I should have been using it because I don't really wear watches. so, it seems this one has better GPS tracking and speakers for calling i mainly just want the running specs like heartrate and miles per second ect. there's no subscription for the app I'm not sure if active 2 did or not anyways what you think lol. also my phone is Samsung.
If your phone is Samsung, then the Active makes good sense. Try both if them 😊
@@TechMishka Thanks lol I did open the active 2 decided newer must be better lol. Of course, I read this before I did. Made me first run with it today and was good. I also saw that the active 2 will stop receiving updates in 2023 as well. Anywho thanks cya
Can you do a review on the Canyon kids watches GPS/4G ? (the Jondi & Cindy) models to be exact that work with the sim card.
I have decided to not review kids watches, as they seem to not be a good match to the content here. I can help with a research though.
Can we connect earphones with the watch and listen music without phone?. Does it support strava ?
No way to connect earbuds.
Strava is supported through the smartphone app.
I would just like to ask if the watch has the feature that it turns the display on whenever I raise my hand to see the time? Is that present?
Yes...
@@stafvh5783 thanks
Most devices from the past years support this feature.
Yes it does
Hi, Can i connect my AirPods to my iPhone and control the music via the watch?
And does the watch have a music storage?
No music storage on this one. You can control the music player on your phone.
You have to use your phone to start the music but as long as you’re connected to your phone via Bluetooth you can use the watch to skip song replay song or pause the song. I’ve had my bip 5 for about 4 days now and I’m loving it
Good morning,
Can the stopwatch run in the background? If you start the stopwatch and exit the function just long enough to change music or look at a notification, does it continue to run once you return to it (without resetting it to 0 each time)? THANKS ! :)
Yes you can!
Wait you said 300mah battery and it can last for 5 to 25 days? So, does this mean that Samsung galaxy 6 watches can fix the battery life problem with an update you think? I mean the GW8 I have tried out has a 425mah battery and it last for about 1day and maybe 10 hours.
Not really. Battery consumption is down to many factors. The OS here is primitive, so is the hardware. This is why a quartz-watch can last 2 years with a button battery.
WearOS watches are like smartphones - they use a lot of battery
Hi! Thank you very much for the amazing review. I'm a bit undecided between the Amazfit Bip 5, Amazfit GTS4 mini and the Xiaomi Redmi Watch 4. In Portugal, all 3 are at the same price. Which one would you recommend?
Redmi Watch 4 is pretty AWESOME.
@@TechMishka Thank you!! 🙌
what is the difference between this and the Amazfit Active? i cant decide which one to get
Haven't tried the Active myself
Hi sir.. I hesitating between bip 5 or gts 4 mini, what would you suggest? primary using for running
Both will be fine.
thanks sir@@TechMishka
For running GTS 4 mini, for "Apple watchish" Bip 5
None of amazeunfit
What do you think, is it better for SW Bip 5 or Huawei Watch Fit SE? Give your opinion
Haven't tried myself the Huawei model yet
How is it with ios? I am looking for an apple watch alt.
The Zepp app is great with IOS. So it is a good match
Does this watch have an SOS feature? My Galaxy Watch 4 can do this and this is a make/break feature for me.
No such feature
Yes the amazfit bip 5 videos is up, I've been waiting for this for a while
Hope you like it! Took me a while but it was well worth it I hope ☺️☺️
@@TechMishkatbh, this watch is good for the price but the way they packaged it is not very well done compared to their previous models
I have a doubt should I rather get the gts 4 mini/ the bip 5/ or the gtr 2 new version (They are the same price in my area)
Get the one that you visually like the most.
Michail, do you think that the Amazfit GTS 5 mini is realising soon? And do you think it’s going to be better than the Bip? 🙄
I believe they are renaming their entire portfolio,l. Perhaps there will be something indeed.
Does it has NFC ? Can i add bank card and use it for paying ?
No , you can't
Thanks for information but which should i download there are many
You mean which watchface?
@TechMishka which application should I download for Amazfit Bip 5
Does it work with Apple Maps? The Apple Watch vibrates when you need to make a turn and I love that feature. Thanks!
Not working with apple maps
Has anyone run into this issue where they accidentally enabled a Lock Screen setting? I can’t disable it and it’s driving me crazy. I have to hold down the button on the side to unlock my watch every time. Can’t find the setting to undo it for the life of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go to settings - it is there. or try to find it in the Zepp app
@@TechMishka I just did a factory reset and it fixed it
The Bip 1 is still the best Bip ever.
Yeah!
I'm wearing it now 😂
Doesn't look as good.
Agree. I still have my Bip 1 and it still lasts a month. I truly wish someone would make an updated transreflective watch. I wanna watch that lasts months, not days or weeks.
Lol it's oudated. The bip is way better looking for big watch fan. Look wise this is the only solid alternative to the apple watch ultra. I said 'look wise".
Getting it tomorrow!
Oh nice!
is it good?
Does it have smart alarm so it wakes me up before deep sleep etc?
Yup
Thanks! Heard you cant answer to messages with ios, is that true?
Hello Michael 👋 love your video very nice🎉❤😊😊😊
Thanks so much
How can I text from it and not just short messages
No way
How i wish to bought amazfit bip 5 is the same gts 4 mini?
Both are good watches
I have amazfit gts 4 mini battery 15 days
Is this compatible with strava?? or does 70 mini apps includes strava?
You can link to Strava via the Zepp app
@@TechMishka hi. Is it accurate?
Thank you for the reply.
Would I be able to track my child using this watch? Most watches either require a SIM card or can only track within a few meters using Bluetooth. Can the watch be linked to more than one phone and can I track the watch from the Zepp OS, like a find my watch feature using GPS?
You need a smartwatch with GPS a d SIM support.
My Bip U Pro has been crashed so i consider buying Bip 5, is it worth to upgrade from Bip U Pro to Bip 5 or search for something else?
It will be a nice upgrade. Feels very different though.
What is the name of the little screen playing gifs?
Its a divoom speaker
Divoom Dittoo
Do you think the GTR 3 is better?
They are very similar.
Just bought mine, i love how easy it integrates with Strava and iOS health and fitness !
Awesome
Why did you say the alexa support is limited?
Not available in some regions.
Good review as always
Was wondering if you're going to review the Amazfit Balance as I'm trying to decide between that , the Ticwatch Pro 5 & the Galaxy watch 6
So many nice looking watches out it's hard to choose 👍🏾
That ticwatch has so much going for it. I'm trying to decide between that and the pixel 2 watch.
Not a fan of the pixel watch design. Hopefully the next one will be so much better & bigger
@@andrewgittens7737 good point. I was hoping they were making the next one bigger.
Making it to this comment just now and happy to say the video is ready and online.
Thanks for the reply, but went for the Huawei watch GT4 in the end.
Could you make a comparison with GTS 4 mini?
They are quite similar. If there is something in particular that you want to know - feel free to ask.
@@TechMishka which one will be good with 15 pro max?
Does it have like a Play story or Apps story to download something?
Yes, but quite limited. The OS is very basic.
What is the main difference between this and the balance?
The balance is smarter and has more functions
does it have gallery?
No
Which is better if same price and why? - GTS 4 Mini, Bip 5 or Fitbit Charge 6 for about $20 more
Oh, that depends on your preference about the software ecosystem. I'd seriously consider Redmi Watch 4
Gps é bom ?
It is
I was looking at a fitbit charge 6 ($100 but small screen and doesn't offer many bells and whistles and a more expensive $200 galaxy watch. I'm surprised this is like the best of both worlds. Not as expensive as a galaxy watch but seems to do all the same things. Less than a fitbit charge 6 and yet offers more
Yup! Just doesn't support payments.
I bought the 5, and it is a beautiful and capable watch but the speakerphone -when making phonecalls- is ridiculously low in volume, although for other functions like the assistant it is loud enough. I hope a firmware update will solve this. In your video the reception is surely amplified by your camera's microphone. I have to put the watch close to my ear to understand anything, even inside my house.
Could be related to your mobile provider and indeed sounds like a bug. The volume on mine is just fine.
I bought the Bip 5 for my partner, and her watch had the same problem. Just increase the call volume on your phone, and the watch's sound will be louder. I hope this helps.
@@MrTomateFrito Your solution helped. Meanwhile Amazfit updated thé firmware, and this should address the
problem
@@stafvh5783 That is super nice. I am thinking about getting my first smart watch. I have held out not needing them, well really I do not need it. I am hard of hearing and want one on my wrist so when my phone rights I can use the watch to answer it. This should help from missing a lot of calls.
Does it work with Apple?
Yeah
Can the watch faces be switched from 24hr to 12hr?
Yeah
Does it have NFC?
No
I like its bigger screen and call function. I cant live without AOD. So im keeping my GTS4 Mini! Haha
Good plan! ☺️☺️
I ordered 6 units of Fitbit Versa 2 but the delivery got screwed up so i cancelled the order & bought 6 units of Amazfit Bip 5 instead. They are for my family occasion and boy they just loved the watch. Under normal use with daily evening runs or gym exercise, the battery lasted about 15-20 days for most of us. That's great considering we have to charge our phones daily or sometimes twice a day with heavy usage..
Sounds like you are all well equipped now ❤️
Does it have playstore?
No
The company should not have touched the 45 days always on battery life. That was their trademark. Now I think that they not only killed their flag ship watch but also saturated the market with some unwanted watches that confuses the consumer. They should return to the Bip 45 days always on and innovate on that particular model. I for one am staying away from this model till they get their act together.
I agree with you...
The 5 is amazing
👍👍
It has Always on display?
Yeah
i think no always on display @@TechMishka
no always on display it was said in video and yeah actually it doesnt have AOD
I still have my original bip watch but am currently wearing the bip U pro. This 5 costs more and I don't think it would really be an upgrade. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come from Amazfit. Your videos are awesome 👍
The original bip still has the best battery life even after many years! I'm using GTS4 Mini now so i sold it off and I'm missing it's long battery life.
Thanks for the awesome comment, mate. I so much miss transflective displays in watches these days. But maybe in 2-3 years AMOLEDs will be bright enough
@@TechMishkaI like this bip 5 even though i have the bip u pro its so cool🎉
Bip 5 is genial, I can completely not care about battery life also GTS mini is ALWAYS sold
I have to say i'm a bit wary of amazfit's battery degradation over time. I have the Zepp E, have had it less than a year and the battery live has taken a nose dive. Used to last me 6-7 days, now barely gets me through 3.
I don’t think that’s limited to just Amazfit. I have an Apple Watch that can’t keep a charge longer than ten hours and a Fitbit charge 5 (or whatever the latest charge is) that lasts two days.
Zepp E doesn't have battery optimized Zepp OS. Get bip 5 which does have it and you'll notice the difference.
@@ArthurD why would a manufacturer not optimize its own OS on its own hardware?
@@yhakak Zepp OS is only a very recent thing, it was not there for Zepp E yet
Hmm, I have had watches lasting 2-3 years and then degrade all of a sudden. Too early to say in this case.
compatble with alexa?
thanks
Depending on the region. Not available in mine (Bulgaria)
@@TechMishka got it , thanks man
Does it support zeppcoach
Nope
Which is better for multi functional usage not only sports
Amazfit GTS 3 or Amazfit Bip 5 ?
Hint: its all the same price !
Both are similar. GTS3 is higher end model
I've had three devices from them in the past, but they all had bugs that they never fixed even though I reported them about a dozen times over several years. The most irritating one was that several times I had the watch just reset and lose all tracking in the middle of a multi-hour kayak workout; I saw I was up to several miles, 15 minutes later I looked at it again and it was back to just the watch face and it must have rebooted because it had no workout in memory at all. This happened 3 times to me over 2 different devices.
This is not nice. I've only had it once (not with this Amazfit) and it never happened after a firmware update.
Overall nice review Michael
Thank you!
You're welcome ❤
😊
Im still use Bip U Pro
Oh nice!
Me too
GOOD WITH IPHONE BECAUSE THE FOSSIL smart watch i use to love does not work well and is unstable
👌
only thing i like about 5 i make phone calls change music
👍👍
Nfc enabled???
Nope
@@TechMishka thanx 4 Ur response
I want the always on display 😢
👍👍
My first amazfit watch was amazfit bip 3. I loved the build quality and customizable UI. Then, I suddenly bought a used amazfit bip lite, just on a whim . Now, I have one bip lite and three bip S. And I am not going back 😅😅.
Hahahah, I know we'll what you are talking about! 😊❤️
It's almost identical to the Redmi Watch 3 Active.
Yeah
Texting. I still wonder if these watches with mic and speaker would or support speech to text text messaging. I understand they do quite reply.
I keep looking at watches and going from low budget to now this one which is 90usd. I wonder what the next grade up will get me a better watch. So many watches, so many options.
Yeah, a lot of good.models these days. I feel that currently these basic OSes are far away from what you are looking for.
Can we reply to text messages or whats up messages ?
You can see this in the review.
Tft screen so no always on display?? I'll pass this
😞
Can you text on it?
Nope
bip 5 or t-rex pro
Trex Pro
Bro fireboltt
☺️
top and bottom bezels are not equal 😑
🧐
Hold on, it doesn't support bluetooth?
It does! It only communicates via Bluetooth. But doesn't support hosting external Bluetooth devices like headphones.
Some of us still use Amazfit Neo... the fitness band and a digital 90s watch in one.
Lovely 😍
Sounds like a lot of nit picking over features/abilities.
🤔
can i swim with it?
Yes, you can
I request that amazfit have become weird company although it is only making smartwatches. Tech tubers should say good bye to amazfit if it wishes the same by increasing price for addition of must have things with time
Well, right now I am testing the new "Balance" model and it is nothing short of impressive.
@@TechMishka good to hear that sir but prices of the watch have soured up too. Amazfit is only making smartwatches and so they should be able to deliver premium experience at a definite exclusive price. If people want experience all the phone makers have their own smartwatch category
I had the first Bip for years. It was brilliant. However, other brands have passed it now. Garmin much better value.
Garmin have always had excellent products. Not that sure about the value though.
Garmin got overpriced value for sure.
Please can you give me this watch 🙏 because I really love it
Stay tuned on my social media channels for giveaways.
Amazfit Active is BETTER, believe me
Alright 👌
Hot DILF ❤️
Oh wow!
Amazfit is crap on customer service. Do not buy this brand
Used to be a lot better in the past...
Why do you film videos in your daughter’s bedroom??? 😂😂😂
Cuz I don't have monez for my own studio
Watches have DNA ? Wankers have DNA, watches definitely not.
Oh! Thanks for enlightening us.
