My new Fitness Tracker is Finally Here! - Update

I ordered a Xiaomi AmazFit Fitness Tracker 2 weeks ago. I finally received it yesterday. The watch is fairly light and the screen is large and comfortable to look at.

Screensize of Amazfit is larger than the HPB tracker.

These are the features of this smartwatch:


I am liking it so far. The minor gripe which I have with the watch is SMS message notification is not working. This is a small issue as I don't really receive much SMS nowadays. Whatsapp and Facebook notifications do actually work. I could actually read the first message itself on the watch. If the next message arrives without dismissing the first message on the phone, the watch will only show "2 unread messages".I am using an Android phone so I am not sure how it works for iPhone. The second gripe that I have with the watch is even though it has a touchscreen function, there is a button at the side that I have to press if I want to operate the functions within the watch. I like the fact that it has an in-built GPS to keep track of the running path that I took. After my run, I could sync the running info back to my phone using the Amazfit app. My heart rate is also being monitored during the run.


Visibility is great with this watch when I was out running. The display is always on but would auto dim off. When I lift up my wrist, the screen would lit up again. One thing to take note is the screen is not super amoled HD like Samsung smartwatch which is a battery drain.

Another highlight of this fitness tracker is the longlasting battery life. From the feedback that I gathered online, it should last around 5 days with normal usage. My watch had around 77% of battery juice when I received it. It is around 58% today. I had a run yesterday with the GPS so it could deplete the battery more. 5 days sound about right. Charging also seems fast when I connect the watch to my laptop to transfer some watch faces. Did I mention there's tons of free watchfaces which could be downloaded off from the Internet?

I actually paid $158 SGD for this watch when I ordered online. It was only a week later that I discovered a cheaper alternative. You can actually get this watch cheaper from the link below. There's another Youth edition which has an Apple Watch design selling for $69.50. However, the language for this version is in Chinese only. These fitness trackers are very good alternative compared to the pricey smartwatches released by companies such as Samsung and Apple. Do check them out by clicking the watch picture below!

Update 3/9/2017 - SMS Messages alert is actually working. I just have to set Messaging to On with the Amazfit app. I could also receive notification from third party app such as Thinkorswim. The watch will also show the logo of the app. Amazing!

  2. Congratulations on your new Fitness tracker. Although its very late :P Xiaomi's products are better than other chinese products. However Garmin and Fitbit products are best when it comes to Fitness Trackers. I reviewed Top 10 Fitness Trackers 2019on my blog and I found Garmin and Fitbit's products are highest selling and better than others

  4. Fitness trackers are becoming more feature-rich, and an affordable option for people wanting to stay fit and healthy. Far from just pedometers, they now focus on heart rate monitoring, sports tracking, sleep statistics and even help you to feel less stressed during the day.

    The right fitness tracker will be based on your individual needs and how active your lifestyle is. Some will just look for step counting and reliable sleep tracking, others want built-in GPS for running, a heart rate monitor to deliver advanced resting heart rate data. The good news is that there's something out there for everyone, even without breaking the bank.

    Don't get too hung up about getting the best fitness tracker for iOS or Android – all of these play nicely across both smartphone operating systems.

    Whether you need a fitness tracker for swimming, something that works with Apple Health, Google Fit or can track without your smartphone nearby, we've picked our top rated trackers you need to look out for.
