the watch is specifically geared to RUNNING. I have watched about 100 videos of reviews of this watch and none of you reviewers appear to be into fitness at all. It would be really nice if you could have covered the actual performance and sync of running data
Hey Linus, thanks for the great review. I watched it a couple of weeks ago (end of 2019) and still decided to buy it. All the features, HW and battery life made it a perfect deal, especially that it can now be picked up for 69 EUR on amazon :-D I was actually hesitating between the GTR model and this one. I chose Pace over GTR because of the transreflective LCD, GPS accuracy and battery life. However the aluminum alloy version of GTR is still the best looking smartwatch on the market, the pace rocks android, can be rooted, and the always on display is an important selling point. Using it since almost a month, the pace indeed provides 4-5 days of battery life, convenient to wear and looks really nice. Thanks again for the helpful review!
One of the best fitness/smartwatch's in the world. Even with the resent price increase its still the cheapest best watch high quality watch on the market.
thanks man! yeah, I really like it and I love using it. It really looks nice on the wrist! I may look for some third party leather straps for a less sport look
I'm monitoring price and right now it's for 104.49 USD. Current deal is here: couponsfromchina.com/2017/04/09/xiaomi-amazfit-smartwatch-english-version-black-active-coupon-price-gearbest/ pretty cool ruclips.net/video/uhYEcZzC6so/видео.html
The watch itself is awesome with all these features. I really love to wear it and battery life is outstandanding. The only thing i really dislike is, by now, the fact that it has limited options to share the watch data with the Smartphone. Strava implementation is cut down to the basics, not even the gps track is transmitted. I also miss a proper connection to e.g. google fit to have steps, calories and sleep synced. Maybe future update will bring all those implementation.
Watching all of the different videos on RUclips is very helpful being that I am 100% sure that I will purchase the next smartphone from Xiaomi I am ultimately interested in buying the Mi Max 3 and my very first smart watch from the Mi Line of Products in the very near future within the next few weeks I would like to thank you for the awesome review and content from Xiaomi thanks again
It has more than a year since you have posted this video and I have just seen this. I just want to know do you still have the watch? Are you facing any issues at this point and what are the issues? Please reply ASAP as I want to purchase this watch. Thank you
Thank you for this review. It is straight to the point and objective. As I am new to smart watch, I find this particularly useful. Subscribed! Looking forward to more of such easy to understand and objective videos.
Which features does it have without a smartphone? Can you listen to music or use some apps? Can you reboot the watches without a phone not to loose clock settings?
Hi ! Thanks a lot for the video. I'm wondering when you said normal use (wrt the battery), what are features you are referring that are turned on ? Does it mean just as a watch and not recording of activities using GPS, HR, etc ? Thanks very much again.
I have one important question I haven't find answer for yet. The tracked activity (e.g. runing) can be exported to with full gps and hr data to some format, or synced with other tracking apps like runkeeper, runtastik, nike run, strava ... ??? I have the Mi Band 2 and the only feature i hate (apart of not having the built in GPS) is that i am unable to export/sync the data with other trackers. I think Xiaomi in this sport tracking is way behind from other brands.
I have an iPhone and a Mi Band 2 ... I just bought the Xiaomi Mi 5s (smartphone), I thought to take this watch, since I realized that the Mi Band 2 integration with the Mi 5s is much bigger and complete than with the iPhone. But I read in some places that Amazfit does not have advantages if your cell phone is an iPhone, a Galaxy or one of Xiaomi's own (as with Mi Band2). Do you confirm that? What is your Smartphone?
has there been any software updates until now? Can you reply to notification? and is it able to show all unread notification instead of just the latest ones?
Great video! How many watch faces does it come with? How many third party watch faces can it hold? Sorry to barrage you with questions but I can't find any info online. Thanks
I purchased this watch in November, and made connection in January. It worked with bluetooth on my Iphone 6 but would not connect with WIFI. I tried several times and complained to Xiaomi Sales. As such, I could only use the watch for checking the time. It would not accept upgrades, GPS was not working, Music was not working, and after a while battery life was down to 30 hours. I complained to the supplier but they indicated that the guarantee period was only 3 months. Today I received the following message : "If the problems remain, please make a video of the problem and upload it on You Tube and then give us the link and then we shall ask our technicians to help you. If you have a problem, dont think of getting a solution. Just trow it in the trash can. Per Goller
Hi, I am a great fan of yours. I always watch your videos and wait for the new one. As per your advice I already bought samsung A5. Now itz time to buy a smart watch. Please advise which one will better between s2 classic and amazefit. Thanks Shaibal
Hi, thanks for your continuous support! I hope you like the Galaxy A5. I suggest you take the S2 classic. It still has more features and it has a better integration with Samsung phones.
yes, I really love my new A5. Thanks again for your valuable advice. Can you please tell me in detail or upload a comparison video why s2 classic is better than amazefit?
Whats better this watch or samsung gear fit 2 pro for running. I like with the gear fit you can transfer files via bluetooth but peopld have issues like charging and battery life?
Hai, I'm planning to buy this smartwatch. I'm also a user of MiBand. Is it possible to merge data from both MiBand and Amazfit? So for example, I'm using the watch during the day and at the office, while in the afternoon at home, I'll be using MiBand... Is the data can be merged? Say via MiFit App?
TechLineHD I already bought the product but unfortunately itz not working. After switched on the watched it has been hanged and not working any more util switched on again. So I returned it to them. Waiting for solving the problem.
it falls way behind due to the fact the app does not show any stats, you have to view everything on the watch. I just use it to know my steps and Strava for running. The rest is too much hassle to track, you cant show or share so I do not bother apart from Strava. The watch is really awesome, i mean it is really good but the app is so limited and lets it down unless you like to view everything on a tiny screen all the time.
i just wondering to buy this watch, but can you tell me what is the watch operating system? is that running android wear or something else? if the OS is android wear i would buy it
On this watch am I able to change the music that is currently playing on my phone? I'd like to be able to shuffle to my next song on my phone without having to take it out.
Mine just stopped working after 4months, white the screen then nothing anymore.very disappointed because I was really happy with it before it inexplicably died.
Hi Linus, As you have reviewed the Pace, did you encounter any issue with the Amazfit Watch android app when attempting to disable the Call Notifications on the Pace? On my phone the app overrides the App permissions. I'm just trying to find out if you had ever seen something similar. Please reply if you have the chance to test this. Also, I have a poor very poor quality video that clearly illustrates the issue: Link: ruclips.net/video/Mpi4Y1_wO3Q/видео.html Best regards, Klaudden
I have this watch,and must say that i really like it,BUT the most annoying thing is that you CAN NOT disable the call notifications.Anyone fond a solution for this issue?
Here's an important caveat to know before buying it, US support is non-existent. If you have an issue, expect to be ignored. I have tried every avenue possible to contact these people and zilch. Spend your money elsewhere.
What is your favourite smartwatch under $170?
TechLineHD xiaomi😁
Amazfit no question
Zenwatch #stockandroid

great review buddy and for the price I don't think any watch can look cooler than this one!! Xiaomi just nailed the smartwatch in the 1st try!!
thanks man! yeah, I really like it and I love using it. It really looks nice on the wrist! I may look for some third party leather straps for a less sport look

Hello there thanks for the video is this device good for Wight lifting ?
Xiaomi makes the world easier place and good alternative company
Which features does it have without a smartphone? Can you listen to music or use some apps? Can you reboot the watches without a phone not to loose clock settings?
SneakyJoe's Salad RUS You can listen music but you need to create a folder and put in the mi pace.
Yes you can reboot the Smartwatch
Hi ! Thanks a lot for the video. I'm wondering when you said normal use (wrt the battery), what are features you are referring that are turned on ?
Does it mean just as a watch and not recording of activities using GPS, HR, etc ?
Thanks very much again.
nice review Linus! good job!
thanks a lot man!
Is the strap pins secured in steel? Look like pins are secured in plastic on the new stratos.
Very good quality video! Subscribed.
Thanks for the great review!
Can the watch show tasks from Google Calendar?
How does it stack up against the Huawei fit (as in; which do you prefer for the money)?
I have one important question I haven't find answer for yet.
The tracked activity (e.g. runing) can be exported to with full gps and hr data to some format, or synced with other tracking apps like runkeeper, runtastik, nike run, strava ... ???
I have the Mi Band 2 and the only feature i hate (apart of not having the built in GPS) is that i am unable to export/sync the data with other trackers.
I think Xiaomi in this sport tracking is way behind from other brands.
have there been any improvements to the software? can you load custom apps or faceplates like with the pebble?
Nice review and nice voice. Keep it up!
Does this Linus drops stuffs too? 😅
Thanks for the nice review 😁
Great review man. Can you please tell me if it measures bike ridings and if so if they are accurate? Can you see the person that is calling you?
Nice vid! Can we export the workout data into tcx/gpx formats? thanks

Hi. S2 shares quite a few features with the S3. I hope my review will help you to decide: ruclips.net/video/UrLhe5nIGds/видео.html&t
Whats better this watch or samsung gear fit 2 pro for running. I like with the gear fit you can transfer files via bluetooth but peopld have issues like charging and battery life?
What about sync with iOS devices? Have you tried that?) I'm not impressed how mi band 2 works with my iPhone
Hi,just one question,is this watch sync the local time with gps when it is disconnected from the mobile phone?
amazing review linus! still, iḿ looking for the cheapest smartwatch to work with android wear... wich one you recomend?
thanks, man! Have tried the Huawei Watch?
TechLineHD can I use this watch during 1 hour of swimming?
hows the battery life of the watch?
Hi mate,
Can we set up HR zone by ourselves for this watch?
Just reviewed this myself and it was my first ever smart watch. I love it! Never thought I would enjoy a smartwatch but this changed my mind
Can u connect it for wifi and if do can you check weather without connection
Hi ! Important question, is there a stopwatch ? Thanks for your answer
hi, yes!
Can you check the battery percentage of your phone on this watch?
Hi,..is the music sound good and loud when using BT earphone?thanks
This or Moto 360 for the same price?
Is there a way to always keep the "main" watch face and prevent it to switch to power saving mode face?
What about step counter is it accurate? Which one u choose gear s2 or xiomi amazefit
it is accurate. I may take the Amazfit
would this measure heart rate if connected with a sport activity app e.g. runtastic?
Can the watches Gps track someone if the phone is not around?
Can i used it for the iphone?
Hai, I'm planning to buy this smartwatch. I'm also a user of MiBand. Is it possible to merge data from both MiBand and Amazfit? So for example, I'm using the watch during the day and at the office, while in the afternoon at home, I'll be using MiBand... Is the data can be merged? Say via MiFit App?
No
Can It continuously tell me heart rate when I am in gym during weight training.
I might be weird, but IMO a handsfree call option on a watch is completely unnecessary if it isn't SIM-card compatible.
finally I made my decision to buy xiaomi amazefit...what do you think Lionous?
it is a great decision!
TechLineHD I already bought the product but unfortunately itz not working. After switched on the watched it has been hanged and not working any more util switched on again. So I returned it to them. Waiting for solving the problem.
Great review!
How long does it take to charge the smartwatch from 0-100% or from 0-80%?
Thank you very much!
1 hour
Is it compatible with Apple and Android?
can I use two amazfit on the same device?
Thanks you for this video..it helped..!!
Do you know if it is compatible with polar h7 hr strap?
Can we change language from Chinese to English?
worth the upgrade from the Mi Band 2?
if money is not a problem, yes
Definitely is.
it falls way behind due to the fact the app does not show any stats, you have to view everything on the watch.
I just use it to know my steps and Strava for running. The rest is too much hassle to track, you cant show or share so I do not bother apart from Strava. The watch is really awesome, i mean it is really good but the app is so limited and lets it down unless you like to view everything on a tiny screen all the time.
Por el precio es un reloj increible, yo lo tengo y no me canso de recomendarlo. Muy bueno
Concuerdo contigo, también lo tengo y no me arrepiento de la compra, genial
Una ganguita benito
Me lo compre en el black friday
@@lucasaltimari7274 luego de un año sigue siendo bueno?? Has tenido problemas de batería ??
i just wondering to buy this watch, but can you tell me what is the watch operating system? is that running android wear or something else? if the OS is android wear i would buy it
this is not Android Wear, this is proprietary Xiaomi's OS
so we cannot customize the watch faces like android wear? :(
you can but the customization options are limited. I talked about that in the review
Yeah, but ahh, i think i'm going to take the android wear.
Thanks for your kind reply, loved your channel, i have watched all of your video anyway :)
On this watch am I able to change the music that is currently playing on my phone? I'd like to be able to shuffle to my next song on my phone without having to take it out.
my amazefit is not working after 3 months. It iis llightly wet it in sea. After that it is not working. Please advise how can I repair it?
Can the watch measure mmHg, blood pressure reading? I know that the watch can measure heart rate
no
This or the mi band 2?
Has it a microphone and a speaker?
No but it can vibrate
Can this Pace recording steps, calories, distance without enabling GPS (or activating walking/running mode) just like MiBand2, for example?
Luca M TV yes.
hello, when i running heart rate always turn on, is it possible turn off hrm?
Mine just stopped working after 4months, white the screen then nothing anymore.very disappointed because I was really happy with it before it inexplicably died.
How can I update my amazefit software?
can it run on IOS?
can we call with Amazfit in feture updates.. ?
I bought this watch in $63 from aliexpress blackfriday sale
I'm still tossing between Casio pro trek, suunto core and this one
Can it be used with an iphone?
yes
with the excpetion of gps and good looks all the other features you can find on a cheap wrist band fot 20$
Nice vid but you didn't mention the OS of the smartwatch.
thanks. It is a proprietary Huami's OS
TechLineHD turns out to be android 5.1
Its now only available for 80$ on gearbest
What are the possible languages? Maybe German?
Howmuch cost in india
Very nice review
Thank you very much!
How about is the battery???(now)
It can last 3 days to 5
Hi Linus,

How do you download music?
is it thicker then a apple watch?
Kerim Amet Yes.
I have this watch,and must say that i really like it,BUT the most annoying thing is that you CAN NOT disable the call notifications.Anyone fond a solution for this issue?
is it for women too ?
yes
Does anyone know how to change the settings to track sleep all day not just over night? Thanks!
thanks for review
cheers
does it allow phone calls on watch
Sana Ullah Rajpoot no.. I mentioned it as a shortcoming in the review.
Here's an important caveat to know before buying it, US support is non-existent. If you have an issue, expect to be ignored. I have tried every avenue possible to contact these people and zilch. Spend your money elsewhere.
Please advise in detail the difference between S2 classic and amazefit? It will be a great help for me.
Thanks
Shaibal
Hi, S2 is better. Take a look at my S3 review, it should give you a better idea: ruclips.net/video/UrLhe5nIGds/видео.html
Does it have RUclips?
no
is the battery life really able to last up to 11 days?
no. Who said that?
