REVIEW: Amazfit Bip U Pro smartwatch

more and more the smartwatches and smartbands are being used by people. THE Amazfit Bip U Pro comes with an interesting proposal, since it is cheaper, but has a beautiful Design and features that make it quite interesting. different from a smartband conventional - like We Band — she has the Design like a watch and not a bracelet, but it has a with more limited, far from a Galaxy Watch 4 or a TicWatch, which is not a problem due to the discrepancy of values. But is it worth investing in it? Check it out now on our review complete.

Design

As with much of the smartwatch market, the first thought upon seeing the Amazfit Bip U Pro is to remember the Apple Watch. This resemblance is far from a bad thing, since it's a very pretty look, but let's stop the comparisons here. the clock of Amazfit it has only 31 g and is very comfortable almost always. This can become a problem if you are interested in using it until the 9 days of battery life are gone.

The watch case, where we have the part smart The thing is, it's all made of polycarbonate. The strap is made of rubber and is detachable, which means you can buy others and customize your watch as you wish.

On the screen, what we have is an IPS LCD screen with 302×320 resolution of 1,43″ and 2.5D glass with fingerprint technology. Despite not being the best screen on the market, it is great and does its job very well, with a decent size and resolution for the category.

The screen is obviously all touch screen, but on the right side of the SmartWatch we have a single button, right in the middle of the watch case. It has three functions: return to the home screen, quick access to the main functions of the watch and quick access to workouts. Although the button rotates, this does not generate any action on the system, its only function is when we press it.

Resources and performance

O Amazfit Bip U Pro works through the operating system Zepp OS and he surprised me. Available for both Android how much for iOS, this line system Amazfit It is very interesting and although simple, it works very well. The configuration part is very easy, you just need to have a little battery in the watch. With that, you will need to install the app from the Zepp which, of course, will be available via a QR Code on the watch screen. Install, register your account and link your smartphone with your watch.

Once this is done, you will be able to enjoy its features. Despite finding the system very light and fluid, when it comes to updates, we have an annoying problem. As soon as I paired for the first time, I already had to update the system and the experience is sleepy. The clock is unusable at this point and the update, no matter how small, takes a long time.

already about what the Amazfit Bip U Pro has to offer, it's basically what you'd expect from a smartband. We've got weather, calendar, alarms, media control, remote photo shooter, app notifications, and of course, lots of exercise.

An interesting feature that I haven't seen in any watch in the category is that here we have the Alexa. With just a brief configuration in the app, the watch will be able to respond to your requests configured with the assistant. However, it will only work as long as it is paired with your smartphone and it is connected to the same network as yours. Alexa.

despite Bluetooth 5.0, it only serves to pair the device with the smartphone, so no connecting your headphones Bluetooth with the watch. Because it doesn't have its own storage or ways to install music apps on streaming, this functionality wouldn't make sense anyway, but at least we managed to manage the watchfaces through the app.

health monitoring

For being much more smartband than one SmartWatch in question, the Amazfit Bip U Pro has as a great highlight the part of health monitoring and exercise practice. Because it is simpler, it does not have some features such as body composition reading that we saw in Galaxy Watch 4, for example. But this is not a problem, as we have more than 60 types of sports and exercises in him. A few that I can cite involve Volleyball, Walking, Outdoor running, treadmill, cycling, swimming, jumping rope and many others.

To help you with each of these exercises, the Amazfit Bip U Pro It has not only space and movement sensors, but also a heart sensor that works all the time, blood oxygen saturation reader, stress meter and of course the PAI, a personal scoring system for physical activities.

The watch tests with me were basically walking and jumping rope. In the case of the walks, I did a test of not taking the smartphone with me and luckily the GPS managed to make the right path. In training involving the rope, I also have nothing to complain about. Before starting workouts, you can customize them to set your workout goal and then just work out.

At the time of training, the screen will show the most important details about it, but when playing to the right you can access the media control menu and when playing to the left you gain access to the training control, to pause or stop to train. You can also press and hold the button to pause the workout if you find it more interesting. Check out some results:

Battery

The great advantage of smartbands is always on account of its incredible battery life. According to the Amazfit, the watch should withstand 9 days away from the socket in common use and up to 5 days with heavy use, that is, playing sports and using all possible sensors at all times.

In my use, I managed to have a mixed result. I'm not the biggest sportsman in the world, but I enjoyed the Amazfit Bip U Pro to test some things and the result was very positive. I didn't get to 9 days, but I got close to it, wearing the watch every day, managing sleep, heart rate, and every other activity possible.

But regardless of your type of use, know that he will be able to hold the stride more than any other. Galaxy Watch ou Apple Watch and, as it has a more friendly price, it can be a great option for those who don't need a more complete system like the two mentioned.

Conclusion

If you're looking for a new watch, want it to have some functions beyond the conventional, but still don't want to spend a fortune, the Amazfit Bip U Pro may be the ideal choice for you. It brings a construction that pleases the eyes and also in usability, fitting very well in its category. When it comes to playing sports, it also has an excellent range of options, in addition to allowing good customization in the order of apps and also in the watchfaces.

Currently, it can be found by R$ 379 at Amazon, an excellent price, so if you liked it and you can afford it, now is the time. I would say that currently one of the main competitors would be Mi Band 7, but there it is a matter of preference in the Design and particularly, I think the Amazfit more interesting in this case, as long as it stays at that price.
