Amazfit bip s. Amazfit Bip S smartwatch review: Price and battery life will smoke the competition

You get a bunch preloaded, with a few that can be customised to edit the data they display You can only check it on the screen and delete it
And by that, I mean it looks like a plastic Apple Watch, with a much thicker bezel and lighter frame For heart rate monitoring, the Amazfit Bip S Lite uses a PPG Bio-Tracking Optical Sensor, which is the same that's used on the Bip S

Weather forecast shows additional details now Battery life The Amazfit Bip S Lite packs a 200 mAh battery, which is the same size as the cell that ships with the regular Bip S, so most of you may expect it to offer the same endurance as the non-Lite version, which was around 10-11 days in my testing

Software The Amazfit Bip S Lite is compatible with both Android and iOS devices and you need to download the Zepp app from their respective app stores to set up the smartwatch and tinker with its settings

Besides, exercise and other health data on Amazfit's Android app is available on the Homepage at the bottom of the screen and through the flower-like button that's located in the top-right corner of the app's screen right next to the '+' icon
Software You need the Amazfit app to pair the Bip S with your Android or iOS device and sync data It works the same way it did on Bip S - swiping up on the homescreen lets you access the notifications and a swipe down opens the Control Center, which provides quick access to Do Not Disturb, Screen Lock, Music Control and Screen Brightness
It's also worth mentioning that unlike the Bip S, the Lite model doesn't come with an built-in GPS and relies on the GPS of the connected smartphone for workout route tracking

The smartwatch does display notifications during an ongoing workout, which is nice.

I'd stop receiving phone notifications on the watch, and I'd have to re-pair the app with the phone a few times

We used it for all activities including the sample run above with a MyZone heart rate monitor chest strap to see how it fared

That was with notifications on, continuous heart rate monitoring and a GPS tracked activity of around 30 minutes to an hour
