Thank you for 4 episodes, Ive watched them with interest! As you mentioned that the basic measurements are accurate, I would expect the analytics/welness summary to improve with time, as the latter are algorithms. Those can be finetuned as Amazfit gathers more data, after which Amazfit can release a more accurate algorithm as part of a watch firmware update down the line. In your experience, would that be a fair expectation?
Thank you! I would say that the GT4 is better, but only because they've been handling accuracy much better for longer, and the training load aspects for longer. Amazfit used to be not well adjusted for the algorithms
looks like the amazfit active which is about to come out globally has the same features but is available now from china for $150, but it's a square design
For the money, it's hard to beat... Except maybe the Huawei GT4, similar price....such a hard choice.. can't decide.. Great in-depth review much appreciated.
Great reviews. ill give this a miss. For the price is want more functionality for my needs. I'll stick with my current Amazfit (incompatible chargers) amd low hqttey lofe higher functionality watch:).
I wonder if the watch counts steps and meters climbed in the car as well. I have a Huawei GT Runner, I work as a driver, and the watch calculates about 2000 km per working time in the car. I look at my watch while driving and see how the steps are increasing. Furthermore, depending on where I'm driving, they calculate an elevation gain of 600 - 1000m. Even though I physically climb three floors. I already have them for the third complaint and I don't believe it will get any better. Is it better in amazfit balance? Is it possible to try it?
Great review again!Wouldn’t you also recommend the Instinct 2X if you were throwing in a used 265? P.S love the Mr T tee-shirt, and the Rocky 3 painting in the background!
Great point! Yes I would! I would say the 2X is a direct comparison to the 265 with just a complete different screen experience! And thanks so much, I continue to build a massive collection of movie T-shirts, and the Rocky series is the best!
No pace zones. Heart rate zones based on a max HR of 220-age, no custom value (30 BPM too low for me). A single vibration at end of a workout step without a countdown & without audible warnings. No scheduling save AI but only up to 10k. Not for serious training.
It was a pleasure watching all four parts. However, I keep some doubts as to whether they actually fixed their HR sensor. It will require a more in-depth comparison of the HR charts to say if that's really the case. Yes, it comes at a great price for the features it offers but considering that it fails to deliver any creditable, valid analytics that can be useful in evaluating the training progress, then to me it's money well wasted. I do agree with your final recommendation, in that it would be wiser to raise the budget slightly and go for a watch with more accurate training analytics. I would personally go for one of the GT series of HUAWEI, and your videos really helped me realize that the Amazfit would be a total waste of money. Great in=depth evaluation! Thank you!
@@puwanatth in Russia Huawei GT4 actually costs way less than Amazfit balance. It's under $200 for Huawei (non-green non-metal band) and about $270 for Amazfit.

Your Style of Reviewing Products is the most Wholesome and Satisfactory. That should be the mandatory baseline for any reviewer.
Any plans to test Huawei GT4 ? Seems like they really nailed it with accuracy.
Great review. I watched the 4 parts. Your comparison with competition at the end of the fourth episode is very helpful; i like the way you do this.
Thank you so much!
Very great in depth review! How would you say this watch pairs up to the Huawei GT4 in general? I'm really on the fence with both of these watches.

Great job with your 4-part review, FGH!
Thanks so much John!
So is this Watch worth it if u need to use it for gym and outdoor activities?
looks like the amazfit active which is about to come out globally has the same features but is available now from china for $150, but it's a square design
is there a rotatable crown on it or no ?

try to sell it as second hand :P

Did they already updated the software to get those issues fixed ?
What about the CHeetha Pro ?
4 parts and I feel like I hear the same thing in each one. what about notifications and replies to them?

Does it give HRV ?
Yes

You can set your true max heart rate and custom zones

Not sure if you’ll see this, but where would a FR255 fit in with this? Or the 165 now?
