Haaah, Lim x Amazfit.. the long lost romance lol, you know what, i think I knew your channel back in the days when you were active reviewing amazfit first few model Lim.. like ur video
Looking at the specs it has extremely much resembles with the Xiaomi S2 Pro watch, but also makes sense when doing a closer search on which company owns wich companies 😀 Then one can pretty easy figure out that components used in Amazfit watches are made at some factory co-owned/owned by Xiaomi.
I recently played a lot with the recent Xiaomi Watch 2 Pro. ..and as much as I like it ..I would say Amazfit Balance has way more to offer..especially if you are into fitness tracking recovery , health and more.
Is it possible to start/stop the running activity or the stopwatch by the physical buttons, or you only can use the display? It is dealbreaker for me as a track runner.
This question bothers me too. I wanted silver version, but I see your complain (also some on reddit - maybe it was also you) on purple/pink tint. It that's the fact I'd rather like black version....
Totally agree, they should continue with their BIP series with translucent screen. I had the original BIP, then upgraded to the BIP S and still use it till this day. Nothing beats the 20+ day battery life.
Hello. I also want advice if possible. I am interested in a smartwatch for iOS less Apple Watch only for notifications and minimal health. What do you recommend like Huawei, Garmin, Amazfit. Thanks
I got it. A lot of features that u need to my how to access. Your vid showed me they’re there, but not really how to access. Hard to tell what button you were pushing. Also the readiness feature needs to be running for 7 days before you can access the info. Still this is a great vid and I’m following along with my watch.
Two concerns: 1. No barometric pressure sensor so no altitude measurements except possibly via GPS. Same problem as Garmin's new VA5. 2. No Gorilla glass so should buy a screen protector for this watch. I like the focus of a lifestyle watch and not so much smartwatch or exercise watch.
Huawei software is a joke compared to Zepp plus Huawei is blocked on Google and Apple store so you always have to find a workaround. Too bad their hardware is a beast.
@@vargeszter It is a slightly reworked version of the GTR 4 design, not that that's a bad thing. It's relatively thin and light for a modern smartwatch. The main changes are under the hood. Much, much better sensors and finally a NFC chip in the EU version, which supports wireless payments. My GTS 4 would frequently give completely wrong heart rates (like 70-80 BPM when I was walking up a steep hill), hasn't happened once in 2 months of wearing the Balance. Only point of critique I have, owning one, is that's I would have liked them to stick to the wireless charging of the GTR 4 limited edition, so we're not tied in to model specific pin chargers.

Can u please tell me name of watch face u r using in video as i also own this watch..n i want to use the same face watch.
Any idea when bip series will be updated to change the game again?

Not anymore, both companies split ways a few years ago...

@@exposed8674 The Amazfit Balance doesn't run Wear Os 3 does it ???
I like this design.. Look very mature and premium... nice also the display smooth no lag like gts3...

Wow this watch looks premium
Which is best? Huawei gt4, apple watch se, Samsung galaxy watch 6, or this? All same price range...
Hard "no" to Apple and Samsung. 20-50% more expensive and no battery life to talk about.
Amazfit balance and Huawei watch GT4, which one better?
Huawei GT4 anyday
@@Sourav72100why?
Any news on GTS/Balance "Square" watch lineup?
how is nfc payments in malaysia?
Alance is the best ❤❤
There's a blood pressure monitoring also??
Why no reviewers are covering if you can answer phone calls and text messages on this watch? These are very important features as well
You can answer and make calls on this watch, and respond with pre-filled text messages.
You didn't go over notifications and if you can reply and how
Hello great review can i ask Amazfit balance or Huawei Gt 5
Did you notice that this watch of some lights look like pink/purple ilumination? I wanna send it back and maybe buy the black version.
This question bothers me too. I wanted silver version, but I see your complain (also some on reddit - maybe it was also you) on purple/pink tint. It that's the fact I'd rather like black version....
@@pawell7559 that's for sure was me. Someone on other YT Chanel confirm my feelings.
Just got myself a Huawei GT 4 haha.
Id say u made the right choice Amazefit is garbage as a whole
Everything is ok. But IAM struggling to get a spare charger for this. Can anybody help where to get it from. Also the west strap.
As nice as I think the Balance is I think amazfit should stick to making affordable smartwatches. At high price there are too many options.
Totally agree, they should continue with their BIP series with translucent screen. I had the original BIP, then upgraded to the BIP S and still use it till this day. Nothing beats the 20+ day battery life.
@@TN_AU they can make both, so it gives you an option if you want to spend less money or more money. And for $200 this watch looks pretty solid.
@@scionixx9568 I'd be happy with long battery for under $200
When will appear the GTR5?
This is the GTR 5

Nice review. Is it good for treadmill?
Nice watch👍🏻
Does it have memory / storage?? Would be helpful if we could have a Playlist for a gym workout, eg to substitute my mobile with it!
Yes. 4GB
Looks good but how was it when connected to ios?
Bile nak masuk Malaysia Amazfit active edge
Could you explain how bluettoth calls work please? Especially when the user has the headphones connected?
Excellent watch
Which one is better in case of Sensor accuracy test Amagefit Balance/Huawei GT4/Galaxy S6?
I wonder Amazfit Balance have fall detection festure?😊
Hi, thanks for the review. Would you pick this Balance over the Ticwatch 5 pro?
is it similar with their GTR series?
It’s replacing gtr series now gtr is waped with balance basically its gtr5
First. Nice watch.
What is your wrist size?
I got it. A lot of features that u need to my how to access. Your vid showed me they’re there, but not really how to access. Hard to tell what button you were pushing. Also the readiness feature needs to be running for 7 days before you can access the info. Still this is a great vid and I’m following along with my watch.
Better than the GTR 4?
Does this or any Amazfit have ECG feature?
No
Two concerns:
1. No barometric pressure sensor so no altitude measurements except possibly via GPS. Same problem as Garmin's new VA5.
2. No Gorilla glass so should buy a screen protector for this watch.
I like the focus of a lifestyle watch and not so much smartwatch or exercise watch.
Got gpay?
the zepp pay is not able in singapore
sad
Application curve will help
Is balance have offline map like cheetah
The watch looks okay, but seriously your body fat os 5.7 damn thats cool
is a nice product but i more to ticwatch pro 5
Altimeter & thermometer?
It has both...
Too pricey for a lower end watch brand. Trex series and gtr are more reasonably priced instead of this, both other great options
i cannot agree i does not look like any of the previous amazfit watches, it's slightly modified gtr4 design.
Is support snoring detection feature?
Same price as Huawei GT4. I think Huawei is better option. Amazfit started from rm400 now rm1100 😮
Huawei software is a joke compared to Zepp plus Huawei is blocked on Google and Apple store so you always have to find a workaround. Too bad their hardware is a beast.
But there are some apps that only works on Huawei phones.
Nothing new comparing with my GTR 3
It looks exactly like the Gtr 4.Barely any change....
New zepp UI, body composition, training readiness (hrv), new heart rate sensor
@@arhamrahaimi I meant lookwise. It's supposed to be finally accurate too.

Go for a better brand rather than a china brand.
Which brand would you recommend that is not going to break the bank?
Garmin Venu series. Or Apple watch. If you cant afford the latest series, maybe go for SE series or older series which is still on sale..
@@weihotan205 does apple even work with android?
@@miloradowiczit actually works but some of the Apple Watch functions can’t be used on Android phones.
Don't look down on China
