I bought this watch about 6 weeks ago and decided to really get to know it well before I wrote a review. So the short review is that I am very happy with the watch, very easy to use, very thorough in all the health info that it can track. It has a nice, somewhat dressy, stainless steel case, and the distinctive square shape, which is really why I chose this over the other Amazfit watches! I also really am happy with the app. Honestly I can't talk about the watch without also talking about the Zepp app that needs to be installed in order to use this watch. The Zepp app has been around for many years and the evolution of the app shows that. It's so much more user friendly than other apps that come with some of the more inexpensive sport/health watches. It is so thorough that I gradually realized that don't even look at the Apple health app anymore. I have no need to because everything that I want and need is available in the Zepp app. Things that Apple Health can't even tell me. It's all really made me more aware of my daily habits: walking more steps, drinking more water, the amount of sleep that I get and so on. I'm also more active and doing exercises using the built-in Zepp Coach. Yes I guess it's AI, but it gives me a box where I can type my thoughts on things after I complete a workout and then it will give a few sentences where it acknowledges what I wrote and then often it will show ways that my thoughts actually correlate with the workout data the watch has recorded and give an interpretation of that data. I find that very helpful & educational and I am actually becoming more aware of the cause and effect of exercising. I am a senior and my Doctor has been trying for years to get me to exercise and take my health seriously, and I try but nothing has really given me the knowledge to see the real benefits and rewards and see what I could be doing better and how I could be getting better results. This watch almost makes me want to exercise, something my Doctor couldn't do. I guess that's the thing for me, putting together a nice watch with a good app, which receives frequent updates and is improving all the time, and giving me the info that encourages me is great. It's been an eye opening 6 weeks and I can't wait until my next check up at the Doctor! Wish list: More memory! There's not enough memory on this watch to hold much music, and there's a bunch of apps & games that people have written, most of them are free but there's not a lot of room for those. A few of them are actual stretching and yoga apps that would be so handy to have on the watch for those times when I am outdoors and don't really want to have to refer to my phone. Also would be nice to have more memory for all the watch faces that are available, a lot of them for free and made by other users. I downloaded an app, search Oc7 in play store, that I have used to make my own watch faces, and my favorite of all is the one I made that has only the items on screen that I am interested in. This saves battery life, as the watch isn't displaying info that I don't need, and I can use big text so I can see the info at a glance. Yes the watch is so popular that there are websites and apps that are dedicated to Amazfit watches. In fact you can download watch faces in the Zepp app also, and a lot of them are free! This watch is so reasonably priced and I look at the more expensive Amazfit watches and they seem to have more memory for one thing. So I guess this is like an entry level watch, but I think that's ok. It's good to experiment with and decide if using a sport watch is right for each person, or maybe they are fine with the memory limitation. Each person can find out for themselves without spending a lot of money. All in all, I am glad I have it, it's made a difference in my life and I hope this review has been helpful!
