thank you for the effort and sharing. i've had my Amazfit Band 7 for about 3 weeks. it has done everything i needed which is steps, heart rate during workouts, sleep and to function as a watch. thanks for the heads up about the band. i am being mindful. i would be disappointed if the band came loose and i lost the tracker. i do wish there was a way to adjust the heart rate parameters used to measure the fitness zones. thumbs up.
Thanks for the comment! There are a few new and different kind of bands for the band 7 that look to be a little more reliable. I am reviewing a few other amazfit watches now that have heart rate zones but they are not customizable, yet. Amazfit actually does do software updates! Thanks for watching!
@@techgadgets100 I am planning on getting one of these and found some Velcro type bands which are super nice. I am still in the process of deciding which watch I really want.
I got excited and thought that a swipe up would take me back to the home screen from where ever I was, but from what I see it only works on the quick toggles screen. But that is still helpful, thanks!
Bro thankyou so much for explaining everything in detail please can you tell me I have this same band but I am facing one problem in sleep that when I wake up like suppose if I wake up at 7:30 AM and at the same time I open in the band it shows 7:30 AM but again when I open it shows 7:31 then 7:32 then 7:33 and when I sync it in the app it shows 7:46 please help me brother please 😢
I’ve had problems with my amazfit 5 getting disconnected to Zepp very often (especially if I don’t have good Wi-Fi) and losing all my data. Does this have the same issue?
Not sure what is happening there. But the watch is connected to the phone through bluetooth which only has a range of about 30 feet. But even if you lose your connection you should not lose your data. Make sure app and band are updated.
How accurate is the SPO and heartbeat? Also, how accurate is the sleep monitor? I saw one video that said, it counts the time you’re laying in bed awake as sleep. Those two things, accurate weather and time are the only things I need. I am disabled so I don’t exercise at all nor walk enough to track.
Registering me as sleeping when I was just laying down did not happen to me. SPO2 was accurate for me when compared to stand alone device but hard to say how accurate it is because I never had a low reading on either. When I exercised, occasionally HR was off for a few minutes, but then got back on track. For me, resting HR was accurate. There is some variability with all smart watches due to skin pigmentation, arm hair, and how you wear the watch. No issues with time. Weather info comes from outside data collected through watch, so no issues with that. The band 7 is a great value but you might also look into the Amazfit Bip 5, which has similar features as the band 7, but newer sensors for just a little more money. Also the Bip 5 allows you to make and take phones calls through the watch, which might be important for you (to use phone feature the watch does need to be connected to phone through Bluetooth). Hope that helps!
Yes, most functions will work, clock, HR, step counter, etc. But you would not get any notifications. The band will sync with your phone when you connect again. Thanks for watching! consider subscribing! I have more amazfit product reviews coming!
Planning to order it, reddit is mixed reviews so i have a few questions: Is HR and sleep measurement accurate? Can to-do and calendar be edited from the band only, without the app on the phone? If i have AOD, no auto HR and no auto measurement other than sleep, and have brightness around half, what kind of battery life can i expect? what utility apps are there in the store? can alexa work when the phone is disconnected from the band, say my phone was at home and i ask it questions at college or smth? is the system buggy? Ik this is a long list but it would be quite helpful if u could answer these, (perhaps act as a guide for ppl with the same questions)
Ok, let me try to answer. HR and sleep tracker are mostly accurate but sometimes off by a fair amount. Sometimes HR goes 10 to 20 BPM off for a few minutes and then gets back on track. So not perfect but I think good for price No keyboard, so can't enter calendar or to do items on watch. If I remember right, battery about 10 days. You need phone connection for Alexa. I felt software was smooth with no stutters. Hope that helps.
I just checked, there are about 50, so i would prefer not to list them all... However, none are really consequential or must haves. There are a few games (to play on tiny screen), tasks app, scientific calculator, Zepp aura (paid subscription), water reminder, pregnancy assistant, SOS flashlight, BMI calculator. They have limited function- in my opinion. For instance the BMI "calculator" requires you to input height and weight and splits out a number. as of now there is not even a tracking feature. So buy the watch based on the stated functions, the apps dont add much. on other amazfit watches there are more apps, but I have not found anything very useful.
There is very little customization on the display. If you want SPO2 displayed you have to pick a watch face that already has it. You can also try app called amazfaces (this is unofficial) but there will be a few more options there.
there is no setting to turn the bluetooth off on the band 7. However, you can easily turn off the bluetooth connection from your phone to your watch from your phone. If you are looking to disable it for long periods you can deactivate from the Zepp app. However, without bluetooth, you will not get any notifications and the health/ sleep data will not synchronize with the app. Thanks for watching!
Agreed, steal was very comfortable but popped open a little too easy. However, if that is your only concern, Amazon has replacement bands with buckle and fabric adjustable bands. I have not tried these though..
Thanks for the video! New subscriber! Can you speak to the timer function? I have the Amazfit 5 and I don't like that when I'm using the timer, I cannot scroll away from it to see the time, etc. Is it the same with the Amazfit 7? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for subscribing!! I just checked. A few things. The countdown timer and pomodoro timer don't allow you to get off the timer screen. However, there seems to be a work around. If you enable the always on display, let the screen time out after setting your timer, then give it another 15 seconds or so, then when you wake up the screen your normal watch face will activate. The countdown is still going, but you can access your watch normally. But always on display has to be enabled. Also curious is that the stopwatch doesn't have such limitations. You can start the stopwatch and swipe back to get to your home screen with no issues. Hope that helps!
i have a pixel 7 phone and im using this band, for some reason i can never get any kind of phone notifications on the band even though its connected properly and used the Zepp app. do you have any idea on how to fix this issue? maybe i didnt enable it properly but i checked every settings possible.
I have not heard of any issues with pixel 7 connections. Sounds like you have it set up properly but is it possible that the notifications are turned off. For some reason, my notifications were turned off on set up and I had to toggle them on. Check 10:32 time in this video. Hope this helps! czcams.com/video/BdIgHldV6hI/video.html
For my English speakers: Hello, does Amazfit band7 calculate the kilometers traveled? Yes. some watch faces have the info on the screen all the time. it is also quickly available in the activites widget, it will list steps and Km or miles. You can also access it on the Zepp app right on the home page.
On initial set up, the timer, stopwatch and a couple of other apps should be in the "more"icon. Just swipe up from the home screen and scroll all the way to the bottom. Let me know if that works for you.
There's lots of detail here, but it would've been good if you actually went through the menus of the watch and *showed* all the features rather than just listing them while hokding the watch in your hands.
so you want an even longer video?? I went through the video and I could have added more of that. In my customization videos I go through each menu and feature, which is probably what you were looking for.

It is very hard to find small bands. I gave my daughter a watch and it took awhile to find a strap that adjusted small enough to fit her. Unfortunately, it was not for the band 7, otherwise I would off you the link.
I watched a few different videos about this before I found yours. Wish I would have watched yours first. Thank you!

Sorry, I am not fully understanding the question.
Bro when I wake up the awake time increases automatically
I have not had that happen and I am not sure how to fix. I cant think of a reason for the time to change like that. sorry.

@@horizonal7735 Can't beat the price! sorry you had to get another one though.
Continuous heart rate is at what intervals?
Sorry, I could not find any specified time frame by Amazfit.
i have one arriving from cn soon. it will replace a 2 year old Fitbit charge 5 which has stopped holding a charge.
I think the band 7 is a great value and packs in a lot of great features for the price. Enjoy your new watch and thanks for watching!

Do I have to use zeep or zeep life to synchronize the bracelet?
You have to use the companion Zepp app to activate and use your band. Zeep life is for MI wearables but from same company.

Just hearing about the band easily coming off, made my decision easy...I won't be purchasing this. Also, frustrating is the fact that there aren't any aftermarkte bands available.
There are a few 3rd party bands on Amazon, but your right not a big selection.
I wish they made better bands also. Even smaller bands for kids would be great.
Agreed, but there are a few new designs on Amazon now.
And non of them are smaller. It’s a great watch for sure but they really lack in strap size
It is very hard to find small bands. I gave my daughter a watch and it took awhile to find a strap that adjusted small enough to fit her. Unfortunately, it was not for the band 7, otherwise I would off you the link.
Phone has to be charged daily, no complaints.
Buy a *budget* heart rate monitor, complain it has to be charged weekly.
I want my phone battery to last a week!
I use this watch for fitness purpose without smartphone results where utter flop and pathetic!!
Sorry you had a bad experience with the Band 7.
