Amazfit certainly doesn’t shirk its responsibilities as far as offering sleep breakdowns and sleep quality analysis – and you still get that single-number sleep score. It's trialing out new features like breathing quality analysis similar to Fitbit. We were also impressed by the accuracy, but Fitbit is years ahead in the data and algorithms – and that does shine through. Amazfit watches win big on battery life. If you rarely want to think about charging your smartwatch, then you should buy an Amazfit watch. The Amazfit Bip Lite is the best Amazfit watch for battery life overall, offering up to 45 days of continuous use. The Amazfit T-Rex Pro lasts up to 18 days, or 45 hours with active GPS use. The Amazfit Band 5 gets 15 days, while the Amazfit GTS/GTR 3 series gets 14 days.

Like the Zepp E smartwatch(both use the same Zepp app, thanks to Amazfit’s acquisition of the company), an overall indicator of your activity level is provided by a Personal Activity Indicator (PAI) figure. It’s based on your heart rate and the amount of intense physical exercise you do, but the long and short of it is that if you keep the score above 100, you’ll be less likely to die of cardiovascular disease – according to a HUNT Fitness study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology’s medical school. Similarly, Amazfit watches don’t have the app stores found in the watchOS and Wear OS software. You’re limited to Zepp-brand apps for productivity or music-listening. Amazfit watches: Battery life The major difference between the two here is that the Amazfit has an SpO2 sensor that's capable of measuring blood oxygen levels for that extra insight into your current state of fitness. It’s not used to diagnose serious health issues. In terms of battery life, the good news is that you're not going to charge the Amazfit Band 5 every few days. The claim is 15 days in typical usage, 25 days in power-saving mode and a big 90 days in standby mode. The Mi Band 6 features a 125 mAh capacity battery just like the Mi Band 5 and that should get you up to 14 days in typical usage and 20 days in power saving mode . In our heavy usage testing, it was 7 days. If you turn off more power intensive features like continuous heart rate monitoring, you will get longer.It's got a 5ATM waterproof rating, which means it's safe for showering and a swim up to 50 meters' depth. Fitbit has also gone further and rolled out continuous monitoring of heart rate rhythms, via the PPG sensor, across its full range. When we did manage to get some data, it was kind of what expected. Average heart rate data and maximum heart rate data was largely off in comparison to a chest strap monitor. Mi Smart Band 5. קצת לאחר ההשקה שלו, הגיע לארץ גם הצמיד של Amazfit, מדובר בגרסה מאוד דומה לצמיד של שיאומי, רק עם הבדלים קלים, הכוללים גישה לעוזרת הקולית אלכסה מבית אמזון ומדידת חמצן בדם (סטורציה). Amazfit Band 5. צילום צחי הופמן עיצוב: לוק בסיסי עמיד למים Both boast Alexa on the wrist, and excellent battery life estimates – with around a week between charges with heavy use.

For anything indoors, this tends to be on the basic side: time, estimated calorie burn and heart rate – though it’s good that swimming estimates distance, and jump rope will use the accelerometer to have a stab at how many times you’ve jumped.

To get closer to double digit days of battery life, you're going to need to disable things like the sleep assistant, 24/7 heart rate monitoring and not keep the screen at max brightness. Like older versions of the watch, you still get the body composition analysis feature, plus SPo2, ECG, and heart rate monitoring. But there is a new Personalized Heart Rate Zone feature for workouts, and we’ll see Samsung roll out the Irregular Heart Rhythm notification feature that detects signs of aFib. Smartwatch features are level pegged too with both using the Zepp companion phone app on either Android and iOS devices. Some Amazfit devices also use the PAI score, which was developed by wearable tech company Mio. It's a single health score derived from heart rate and is designed to make sure you're working that heart regularly.

Both Amazfit GTS/GTR 4 watches and Fitbit Versa 2 are very middle-of-the-road smartwatches in terms of extras – with no apps, modest third-party integrations, and poor watch face selections. It’s clear if you value or like the idea of having a smart assistant to talk to like you can on an Apple Watch or a Fitbit smartwatch, the Amazfit Band is the one that’s going to have more appeal. We’ve had mixed experiences with mirrored notifications. In general, you can decide which phone notifications you want pushed to your wrist, plus whether you want to preview their contents. You can’t reply to messages, but as one of the best smartwatches for Android and iOS, the GTS/GTR series lets you answer calls, no matter your connected smartphone. Still, the Apple Watch is better catered for iPhone users, while the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and all the best Samsung watches are better for Samsung phone users. I think it's pretty cool device, but they should add the improvements and corrections I've suggested to the next iteration. For the Mi Band 6, you're getting something with a similar sized polycarbonate case and plastic strap combo with the same style pin clasp that we can't say we absolutely love. That houses a larger 1.56-inch, 152 x 486 resolution AMOLED display. You're getting the same water resistant rating as the Amazfit Band 5 here too.

Why is Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 6 better than Amazfit Band 5?

Zepp המבצעת את הסנכרון בין הצמיד לסמארטפון, מספקת טיפים לעמידה ביעדי ה-PAI, למשל, ריצה של עד 7 דקות עם דופק גבוה מ-152 או הליכה במשך 120 דקות עם דופק גבוה מ-91. הרעיון של ה-PAI נחמד, אבל אני עדיין לא הצלחתי להתחבר אליו ולסמן אותו כיעד עבורי. Heavy usage scenario: Heart rate monitoring is always on and measures at 1-minute intervals, high-precision sleep and all-day stress monitoring are enabled; 200 pushed messages a day; receive 15 call notifications per day, vibrations last for 10 seconds each time; raise wrist to see device time 500 times; sync with the Zepp App once per day; test blood-oxygen 2 times per day; exercise data is recorded for 90 minutes per week. For activities like running, pool swimming, indoor rowing, core metrics are on the whole reliable. Both devices are better suited to 20-30 minute workout time as opposed to running or cycling for hours if you crave optimum accuracy.

To process the one-tap measurement and other manual metric measurements, please wear the device tightly at one finger-width from the wrist, and keep your arm still for best results. Movement, and environmental and physical characteristics can affect speed and accuracy of monitoring and measurement.The HUNT Fitness Study indicates that people who maintain a PAI score of 100 or higher show lower risk of hypertension, heart disease, and type-2 diabetes. HUNT Fitness Study: This study was conducted by Professor Ulrik Wisloff of the Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It lasted for more than 35 years and had more than 230,000 participants. To use this function, all-day heart rate monitoring must be enabled. You get a nice breakdown in the apps including the total time those steps were generated from. You can also see weekly and monthly trends if you want to see if you're stepping more or less over time. Band 5 יש מראה זהה לדגם של שיאומי, כאשר ניתן להשיג אותו בצבע ירוק, כתום או שחור. אני קיבלתי לסקירה את הדגם השחור, אשר בסך הכל יושב טוב על היד עם רצועה העשויה מסוג סיליקון TPU. משקל הצמיד עומד על 24 גרם והוא עמיד למים עד לעומק של 50 מטר. Amazfit Band 5. צילום יח”צ מסך: 1.1 אינץ’ בטכנולוגיית AMOLED For treadmill running, it's a similar story on the accuracy front, though you can calibrate to ensure you get more reliable data next time you jump on.
