Amazfit Bip S Review

If you like the look of the Apple Watch but don't want to spend $400 on one, you might want to check out the $69.99 Amazfit Bip S. More of a fitness tracker than a smartwatch, it features GPS and 10 sports modes for tracking your activities and workouts. At night, you can wear it to bed to track your sleep. It has a thin, lightweight design and an always-on color display with cute and customizable watch face options. With typical usage you should only have to charge it around once every two weeks, and it's safe to wear when swimming and showering. Getting it connected to the Amazfit app can be a bit of a struggle, but once you overcome that hurdle, the Bip S has a lot to offer. Design The Bip S is an updated version of the original Bip. It comes in four color options, including black, white, pink and white, and orange and blue. I received the pink and white model for this review.  At a glance, the Bip S almost looks like an Apple Watch with its square watch face with rounded corn...

The Amazfit Bip S isn't perfect, but it offers more features than you'll find in any other $70 fitness tracker.

Affordable; Color touch screen with customizable watch faces; Long battery life; Tracks sleep; Offers 10 sports modes; Integrated GPS
