Amazfit Bip 3 Pro

January 2026 update:Ive replaced it with the Bip 6 but my partner is still using this one as other than the diminishing battery life it still works perfectly. And after a month of using my Bip 6 I love it too. This brand will keep my loyalty.June 2025 update:I'm finally in the market to replace this watch. It has finally started to act up, and the battery life only lasts a couple of days. Overall, I am very pleased with how long this lasted and how well it worked. In truth, I could still use this one, but I think I'll replace it with the newest version and get my week long battery life back. I still absolutely recommend this. Just the money I saved not paying for the fitbit app for 2 years makes this a no brainer.Original 2023 review:I decided to try out this watch instead of buying a new Fitbit or even instead of signing up for the new yearly Fitbit subscription because it seemed like it was not only on par but possibly better than a Fitbit but also I liked how the software didn't have an annual subscription cost.As someone who exclusively used Fitbit before I am amazed with this watch. It not only works better, syncs faster, and lasts longer than my Fitbit I like the way it looks better too. I really like the software as well, it does all of the same things and I think more than my Fitbit software even when I paid for it.I am a disabled cancer survivor so I do need to make sure I keep an eye on my steps, and things like my heart rate throughout the day. I also really appreciate the sleep tracker because a lot of my health issues also make me have terrible insomnia and knowing when Ive actually slept and when I need to maybe rest more is very helpful. I also really like that this one has a built-in gps. All of my other smart watches didn't have built-in GPS but even when I had my phone along for the ride the GPS never worked well. Some of them it never worked at all. Using this one I take my dog for a walk and just turn my watch on to record my trip and everything works perfectly, every time even when I don't have my phone. And the biggest surprise was the battery life. I have had this watch last me a week or more. I'm not even sure how it does that, as my old Fitbit had to be charged every 2 days. And even when I had a Fitbit without the screen it still had to be charged more often than this watch.It will be going on about 5 months that I've had this now, and it still looks brand new as well. I also really appreciate that the bands are much more affordable than trying to buy replacement Fitbit bands. Overall I am not only happy I found this watch but I am a converted loyal customer to this brand. If I need to replace this, which I'm sure at some point I will, it will definitely be a watch from this same brand.

This is a true 5 start product.I have now bought 2 of them, and been using them for 2 years.I have tried a few fitness trackers and watches, including Apple Watch, Fitbit, Ticwatch, etc.The Apple watch is far heavier, about 1 day battery life, and expensive to replace if you destroy/lose it in workouts, etc.The short battery life and heavier weight is the deal breaker for me with Apple.Yes, I have all the Apple iPhone and Apple computer eco systems, so this is a bigger deal (not liking the iWatch) than it might seem.The features that you get with Amazfit Bip 3 Pro, at this price point of $52 (July 2024) and even now (Jan 2026 at $64), is incredible and unbeatable. I was specifically looking for a heart rate tracker for workouts, GPS for runs, tracking and app, and maybe a sleep tracker -- all at a light weight and week or more battery life on a charge. This Bip 3 provides all, that and does a very good job with all functions, and the SpO2 monitoring is even a bonus.The battery life is massively efficient and will last days on one charge. It will go over a month if you only use it for a daily run. If you use the GPS, the battery will drain much faster, if you do one hour runs with GPS, it will 'only' go between 1 and 2 weeks.I have no issues linking with the watch and my iPhone, using the recommended for this watch, Zepp. It is comprehensive with its feature set, including history, fitness rankings, etc.There are lots and lots of free face profiles so you can have the 'look' and functionality as you prefer. I like to have the heart rate, and easy to read info.

I'm what you might call a late adopter of new technology, which I dislike; I'm reluctantly stumbling into the 21st century as doing things the old way becomes less practical. I've been a runner for 35 years and got excited about the possibility of one last time doing a mountain race that requires a 10-mile qualifier, which can be self-timed with a GPS watch. This one gets good reviews, and I was able to snag it (pink band) in "used, like new" condition for $37. Indeed, it seemed just ... new. I don't think measurement of physiological parameters (heart rate, pulse ox, sleep, etc.) can really be trusted on such watches, and continue to count bpm the old-fashioned way -- two fingers to carotid, count 15 seconds and multiply by 4 -- as I think the watch reads high. But I enjoy the GPS, which seems accurate, and step counter, and it gives you a good approximation of how much you are exerting yourself relatively, even if the numbers aren't strictly accurate. I also like the funky little "breathe" tool, stopwatch and other functions, too, and the default watch face is just, well, pretty. It's fun to have.I had to re-do the initial pairing of watch and phone app because I did not set my phone to leave the screen on -- you need to do that -- so there is a bit of a learning curve if you are not tech-savvy. But I'm glad I took the plunge and am enjoying this watch, even if that 10-mile qualifier ultimately might not be a good idea for a 65-year-old runner with arthritic feet. :)

I'd never heard of Amazfit prior to a week or so ago. Which is okay; they'd never heard of me either. I certainly know who they are now!I found myself in need of a timepiece, but I wanted one that was a little more comprehensive than my usual Timex Ironman. A "smart" watch; something like an Apple Watch might've been nice; I'm a Mac adherent and have been for thirty-plus years. But research showed their watches possessing a hefty price tag and a skimpy battery life.Having received gift cards for my birthday, I looked around, did my homework, and finally decided to give the amusingly named Amazfit Bip a try. Or, more precisely, the Amazfit Bip 3 Pro. I guess that's a Bip 3 that's lost its amateur status.My initial thoughts on receiving it...hey! This is COOL! What you have here is a slick looking watch that does everything I could want it to do...heart monitoring, blood oxygen sensing, workout tracking, even sleep monitoring...and it does a lot more stuff Amazfit does a much better job at listing in its promo material than I would be able to do here. Of course you can change its face, and the amount of widgets available. I kinda like that; an overly busy display is annoying. Speaking of which, the display is big and readable even in bright sunlight, which at my age is pretty vital. I can get notifications on incoming messages and phone calls. The Zepp app (which comes in both iOS and Android flavors) makes it fairly easy to digest all of this incoming info. It's all packed in a lightweight package that boasts a battery life of two weeks. I can't verify that yet, but I'm almost a week in and I'm at 52% life remaining...and this is with a lot of playing around with the thing to learn how to use it and several workouts and hikes using the GPS. Yes, a GPS! With mapping, even!Now on to the downsides, such as they are. It's not a Dick Tracy watch (I know, I am dating myself here) which means that I can be notified of incoming phone calls and texts, but not answer them. And I can't play music on it. Control it, yes, play it, no. But honestly, these are two very minor gripes in a watch that comes in at under $60.But then...there is the execrable strap.Yes, It truly is awful: hot, sticky, and tight. Mind you, I am a large-framed person but frankly my wrists aren't THAT big around. How a really buff guy could wear the Bip comfortably right out of the box just mystifies me. Now, you could stretch it--I've done this in the past with watches--but you don't have to: quick-release pins make the silicone torture devices a cinch to swap out. I got a pack of three stretchy nylon straps for a little over $10 (I'll include a link below) and, PRESTO! Problem solved. The watch is now comfortable, so much so that I barely notice wearing it. And it looks rather spiffy too. There's plenty of colors and designs to choose from.And now? I really don't see any downside to the Bip 3 Pro. Low cost, plenty of available data, easy to learn and use, customizable, and it looks good on your wrist. Mind you, I'm still waiting on a jetpack, but this sort of gee-whiz stuff may be a bit much for an old codger. Maybe a hoverboard...Link to the stretchy nylon replacement straps I got (there's lots more that will work):https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZSW3RKS?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

07-29-2025: Pending Response from ManufacturerThis device is fantastic - tracked everything seemingly accurately, at a very affordable price. However, after 2 months of use, the screen has stopped working. The screen illuminates, and the watch vibrates anytime I receive a call/text, but the screen remains blank no matter what I've tried. This is likely a defective item, and so I have contacted the manufacturer. Amazon could not help as it is passed the return/exchange window. I will update this comment once I receive correspondence from the manufacturer.Hopeful to report back competent care from the customer service team. This watch is excellent, but the screen failing after 2 months is concerning. Hopefully they make it right, and I can update this review with something positive!

To start, I've tried a few fitness trackers over the years, notably Fitbit(s) and Ticwatch, prior to purchasing this watch.The features that you get with this watch, at this price point, is unbeatable. I was specifically looking for a heart rate tracker for workouts, as well as a sleep tracker. This device provides both, and does a very good job with both functions. SpO2 monitoring is a very cool bonus.The battery life is impressively efficient - especially coming from the world of higher-end fitness trackers, where you may be lucky to get 24-48 hours battery life out of your device. This appears to last days with minimal battery usage. Very impressive.The app that is recommended for this watch, Zepp, is comprehensive with its feature set, including history, fitness rankings, etc.Fitness tracking for general exercise categories - mostly cardio based, is pretty basic but hits all of the typical key points you might need. For weight training, the app focuses solely on heart rate monitoring as its data point for measuring workout progress, which seems somewhat inadequate - but there are better weight training apps out there.In that regard, it's important to note some odd behaviors of the provided app. Since purchasing the watch, I use Zepp to track heart rate, and Jefit to track weight training workouts. This syncs over to Google Fit, which maintains what I would expect to be the master view of all of the data. Unfortunately, Zepp appears to often overwrite or erase data provided from other apps. For example. Jefit workouts initially appear in Google Fit, along with the related "heart points" - up until Zepp syncs with Google Fit, at which point the Jefit data and heart points are completely wiped out. If you're relying on Google Fit's heart points as a metric for fitness benchmarks, this behavior makes the data completely unreliable.So far, that is my biggest complaint with the app and watch. Otherwise, it is a pretty amazing device.Highly recommended based on my experience so far!

My Garmin Vivosmart4, which I had for several years, finally gave up at the end of April. I had bought this same watch for my son, who just wanted some basic tracking and notifications. He really liked it, so I thought I would give it a try.I like this watch WAY better than my Garmin Vivosmart4, if nothing else, than for the much larger and better display. This watch has more accurate activity tracking, including much more accurate sleep tracking, which is important to me. I have sleep apnea, and use a CPAP nightly. My sleep issues are well controlled (lost weight, eat better), but I also do a lot of overnight backpacking, and go on frequent motorcycle trips. Sleep management can be difficult in those situations, but this watch has been terrific so far. It's been especially accurate with tagging my 'going to bed' and 'getting out of bed' times.Speaking of backpacking, I backpack in the mountains of Utah year round. 90% of those places have no cell connectivity, and my Garmin Vivosmart4 would many times have trouble getting a GPS position, since it has to get that from a smartphone. I have used this watch on several winter backpacking trips now, and this watch has no trouble locking on to GPS, no matter where I am at, and does it usually within 5-10 seconds. The post -trip reviews of the maps look pretty accurate to me. If there are any anomalies, I can't pick them out.Activity tracking is pretty straight forward. I have mine set up with a long press on the button, or a swipe right on the screen. Easy peesey. This watch does not do automatic activity tracking like the Garmin Vivosmart4 did, but I'm actually glad this watch doesn't. The auto-tracking on the Garmin Vivosmart4 was sketchy sometimes. What this watch will do is automatic activity pausing, like if I'm on a hike and stop for a few minutes for a break, and then will restart automatically when I start moving again. The final activity stats will list paused time so you can see that. I REALLY like this feature, and it works great for me.This is not a $500 activity tracking do-it-all watch, and for me it doesn't need to be. I just need basic activity tracking and wanted built-in GPS. I even like the Zepp phone app better than the Garmin app, it's more intuitive and easier to navigate. This watch is perfect for me.

May 2025/One Month Use: I am back after a little longer use. I only use this in weekends, so maybe 2-3 times a week. As of right now, it’s on 59% charge - I charged it 26days ago. So really good battery. Even better is that I did a 5k recently and the battery only went down 1% after a full day of usage. I did a “walking workout” during the 5k, but otherwise just tracked steps as normal.I haven’t use the pedometer recently. For the 5k I have ~15,400 iPhone steps and ~16,700 watch steps. The truth is somewhere in the middle. I know I kept my watch with me all day but I don’t remember when exactly I put my phone in my side pocket, so that may be part of the discrepancy. Sometimes the watch has less steps than the phone. But not consistently. I did about 4 miles one day and logged ~13,100 iPhone steps and ~12,000 watch steps. Another time I had ~9,000 iPhone steps and ~8,700 watch steps. Yet another time: ~2,400 iPhone steps and ~3,300 watch steps.Irritatingly during my 5k i remember driving to the site and having too much wrist movement in the car that jumped my steps from 135 to 140. So there’s that type of bloat which I assume is typical of all for watches, but it’s difficult to explain the times where the watch is less than the iPhone steps. Will continue to monitor. Battery is great for a lite user.————————Apr 2025/Two Days: I’d like to come back and update after reasonable use.I purchased this because I’m working to be less sedentary. Primary interests are walking and running - purely to support weight loss. Thus, very accurate fitness tracking is not something I care about outside of steps and mileage. Today I’ve clocked about 3000 steps. I have a pedometer and an iPhone. I have not linked Zepp to my health app specifically so I can monitor the discrepancy in step counting between all devices.Did about 1,000 steps around town. iPhone = 1,000 steps, Bip 3 Pro = 1,014 steps, Pedometer = 994. Discrepancies not too gross.Short few steps from destination to car:iPhone = 65 steps, B3P = 41, Ped = 37. (including for info, but I think something funky happened here)Walking from parking lot to building, about 100ish steps. iPhone = 113, B3P = 114, Ped = 104.Pedometer is generally lower. I always took the pedometer to be accurate since you have to map your stride to the pedometer before you actually use it. However, it looks like the phone and watch are generally in step (haha) with one another. At my level of fitness, these changes are interesting but not a totally show stopping. I hope to switch to the apple watch in the future since i have an iPhone, but did not feel comfortable paying a big price tag as an ultra beginner.The watch is easy to setup. I will realistically only use it a few times a week, as I hate wearing watches. So battery life will be fine. Set up was easy but I didn’t do any pairing of messages or notifications. I don’t want to get notifications through this app, so hopefully that preserves battery for the long term.Earlier today I tried the workout function and ran a total of ~5 minutes. The GPS did not take any real time to position, maybe all of 5-10 seconds. I was running back and forth on the same path and the map was accurate in that sense. It’s nice that it tells you how long you paused vs how long you were active - helpful for beginners.All in all, as a planned lite user, I think it’ll accomplish what I’d like it to. Seems durable. Wrist strap is comfortable, coming from someone that doesn’t like things on their wrist. Size was good - slightly small wrists shouldn’t have issues I don’t think. Weight is comfortable.

A great value-for-money buy @S$89. nice size and screen, ok UI, and integration with google fit and strava. does everything well enough, does nothing great so buy if value is key for you, else go for something else.. battery life is decent, 14days as advertised with light usage and 10min HR monitoring. The blood oxygen reading doesn't work for me unless the watch is in the exact right spot. the GTS4 Mini was a good contender but I dont think the nicer screen and build could beat the lowerr price of the Bip 3 pro. The onboard GPS is a nice touch, but I think I could have gone for the bip3 too without regretting it .

I really like the watch coz its compatable in my iphone. And it arrived in good condition also the battery life is worth it and true in the description of the product.

Llevo tres años con el y sigue siendo muy buena opción, lo único que he notado es que la batería le dura menos. Al inicio casi una semana y ahora lo cargo cada 4 días. Buena opción en calidad y precio .

Great watch for the price, but found that except for one, there were limited suitable choices of watch faces. Also unlike earlier versions of Amazfit , there is not a continuous time display. You have to press the side button or shake your wrist to read the time. You need to re-charge the watch every 7-10 days.

Had this watch for ajust about a week, came at 56% charged, didn't charge it for 5 days until it was at 15%, so battery life seems great. Only took 1hr 40 min to get to 100%>. I've used it for a couple of runs, GPS seems solid enough to look at your route after, distance seems good and I really enjoy that it shows you your pace while running and various other things too. I like the other stats it gives you for workouts and sleep. Happy with this so far! Good bang for buck.
