What "budget" smartwatch are you using at the moment?
Let me know in the comments section below 👇🏻
What a quality content creator !!!
Keep up the good work mate
Hello 👋🏻 thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed 😀
Keep going bro, one of the best scientific videos for a smartwatch🎉
Thanks! More reviews and tutorials coming soon so stay tuned!
I think knowing the HR averages are good enough for me. And what does exercises mode even mean? Videos like you’re mention it but never going depth. 120 modes. Is what the marketing image and copy says it’s doesn’t tell me anything.
Hello, glad you found the HR sensor accuracy helpfu!
The exercise modes are the different activities that the watch is capable of recording. Things like running, treadmill, indoor cycling, tennis, badminton, volleyball, etc...different manufacturers call them different things - exercise modes / activities/ workouts / sports....
In my other video showing 9 Pro Tips to Master the Amazfit Bip 5 (czcams.com/video/0anH11kNfWY/video.htmlsi=jZWhqSgv-M8LlfnS), tip number 4 shows you how to record other activities like Tennis that isn't visible right away on the Bip 5's activities screen 😀 its got things like Judo and Curling!!!
Wonderful review, sir. Thorough, informative and entertaining. Good luck with this new channel! I look forward to more videos.
Thanks! More reviews coming soon so stay tuned!
Amazing video 10/10 but i have one question. Is the paywall in the app a problem if you want to track youre stats acurate?
Thanks so much!
The Zepp App shows most stats without paywals. You can also increase the frequency of HR measurement within the Zepp App - no issues with paywalls here too. Other stuff such as Zepp Coach and Weekly Report give you additional insight and stats on top of the free stuff in the Zepp App but don't increase the accuracy of the HR measurement of the Bip 5.
Hope that helps.
This was a super good video i expected at least 10k subs keep it up! (Little note tho you can totally see that phone number for like half a second
Thanks! Glad you liked it and thanks for the tip 👍🏻
Many more reviews and tutorials coming soon so stay tuned!
@@thewearableist can't wait! Also quick question can the amazfit bip 5 download maps to navigate with offline?
Unfortunately there is no way to download maps to view them straight onto the Bip 5. There are navigation apps within the Zepp App that you can download onto the Bip 5, and you can apparently then get turn-by-turn navigation from Google Maps running on your phone onto the watch...however, I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work but it just didn't during my testing period. I wouldn't recommend the Bip 5 for that specific feature as many of the smart apps don't work well on Bip 5.
great review
please lower the music iam using headphones its very annoying
Hello thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!
Will take note of the music volumes, thanks for the feedback 🙌🏼

thanks man.
Hii which fitness band should i go for garmin Vivosmart 5 or amazefit or some other ?
Hi again 😀
Based on my experience and testing between the Vivosmart 5, Amazfit Bip 5 and Fitbit Charge 6, if I were buying myself I'd maybe go for the Fitbit Charge 6. Yes, it does have limitations but overall I felt it was a much more "polished" product with useful smart capabilities.
Check this video out for the pros and cons of the Fitbit Charge 6 so you know what you might be getting into: czcams.com/video/iu1zCqELahk/video.htmlsi=AewbGKpxOz8GdlDG
@@thewearableist Is it true that fitbit only last till it's warranty date ?because I heard th next day they don't work?
Hi.
I had a Fitbit Charge 3 bought in 2018 and used it till 2022 till I switched to Garmin Venu 2. It still worked and charges ok just don't use it. On online forums we normally see upset customers of course so take online opinions and forums with a pinch of salt for any wearable (still useful to do the reaearch so good you're looking into it).
It ultimately depends on how you use any take care of any electronic item. Its more of a lifestyle/fitness/health tracking and not really a "rugged" sportswatch (Garmin/Polar/Suunto). If you are looking to do extreme sports and things like mountaineering etc., then you'd need a more rugged device. But if you're into general fitness (running, walking, gym, yoga, cycling), sleep tracking, heart rate tracking, then it should be okay.
Hope that helps 😀
Thanks🙏
Which is best
Amazfit bip 5 or bi5 5 unity
Hello 👋🏼 thanks for watching!
Bip 5 Unity is a newer product than the original Bip 5. I haven't tested the Bip5 Unity (yet) but its running the newer software from Zepp (version 3.0) compared to the older 2.0 version in the Bip 5, so you'll likely see improvements in frame rates, colours, animations and speed. Many of the features look the same but the Bip 5 Unity costs $20 LESS than the original Bip 5. If it were me, I'd probably go for the Unity given the features are largely similar.
I don't know how Amazfit have managed to pull this off, but the Bip 5 Unity is now in direct competition with the CMF Watch Pro which also costs $69!
Hope that helps 😀
@@thewearableist thanks for the reply 😊
Actually they played a trick ; removed GPS from unity so that the Bip 5 looks still relevant, amazfit is actually creating confusion again. It's getting hard to pick one as Bip 5 has GPS and Unity has a lower price and new OS update with metal frame.
Hello.
Yes, there will always be something that will be removed to justify the lower cost of the newer watch (which in this case appears to be in-built GPS).
If GPS tracking from the watch itself is important to you (which worked well on the Bip 5 in my experience) and you feel that the feature is worth the extra $20 then yes the Bip 5 would make sense over the Unity purely for that added feature.
In the Zepp App, you can definitely start activities and use the phone's GPS but I haven't tested this with the Unity myself as of yet.
Hope that helps 😀
Is the steps accurate with iphone?
Hello 👋🏻 Almost all wearables will under or overestimate steps to an extent due to false hand movements and shorter movements around the house. In my experience the Amazfit Bip 5 underestimated steps by around 700-800 steps compared to the Garmin Vivosmart 5 and Garmin Venu 2, both of which I wore at the same time as the Bip 5. It does not matter if you use an iPhone or Android as the steps count and all other metrics are independent of the phone and app.
Ultimately, the steps are only a rough estimate whichever wearable you buy, I wouldn't worry a lot about the steps accuracy.
Hope that helps 😀
@@thewearableist Thanks not sure if I wanna buy the Bip 5 or just wait and get a refurbished Apple Watch
Ah the Apple Watch is a different ballgame! It really depends on what you want from your wearable - a premium smartwatch like Apple Watch that can deal with all sorts of "smart" stuff without you having to touch your phone but has a poor battery life OR a budget wearable that does half the smart things an apple watch can, with a close to a week's battery and costs much less. Decisions decisions I guess 🤔
Let us know what you end up getting ✌🏼
@@thewearableist I just want something that’s accurate or very close. Some of the reviews on the Amazon watch says time is inaccurate and steps
