1. According to the ISO 22810:2010 standard, the Amazfit Band 7 achieves a rating of 5 ATM, for a water-resistance of up to 50 meters, and is therefore suitable for splashes, snow, showering, swimming, or some high-speed water sports. It has passed third-party testing conducted by SGS, and the report number is SWT2205-46. 2.The HUNT Fitness Study indicates that people who maintain a PAI score of 100 or higher show lower risk of hypertension, heart disease, and type-2 diabetes. HUNT Fitness Study: This study was conducted by Professor Ulrik Wisloff of the Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It lasted for more than 35 years and had more than 230,000 participants. To use this function, all-day heart rate monitoring must be enabled.This fitness tracker is easy to use and has many options for tracking activity. I use the GPS tracking for walking/hiking, riding my bicycle, and doing step aerobics. The one drawback is that it does not have an option for pickleball or tennis, both popular sports. It will track my heart rate when I play but it's not specific for that activity. Also, I'm not totally sold on the accuracy of the sleep monitoring, but it does provide some feedback that I've found useful. (It says I had a good night's sleep when I don't necessarily wake up feeling refreshed). It seems to be accurate for counting how many steps I take.
I like that you can customize the watch face (I just found this out! Still discovering new things with this device). It can track your heart rate and oxygen saturation but not blood pressure. I find the PAI (Personal Activity Intelligence) useful - it gives updated information on how much you exercise in a week. It's an easy-to-understand activity tracking metric that can help you manage your health. You can google PAI Amazfit for more information. As a Senior citizen pushing 70, I appreciate a device that has plenty of options, but not so many that I get overwhelmed.Set up is easy as you download the Zepp app and pair the watch to your bluetooth, then register to sign in. The little band is a bit hard to fasten on your wrist at first as you get used to it, and I have had it come off in bed and once just in everyday use possibly because it wasn't fully secured but more likely due to catching the closure button on something. The read outs are easy to use although the instructions and explanations of functions are somewhat vague. The measurements to input some manual things like blood pressure, body temperature, etc., are only in UK measurements so you have to convert the numbers. Hopefully they will change this for imperial measurements, too. In your profile the standard measurements can be set to imperial or UK so there is no confusion seeing your readouts on your band or in the app.The band itself provides the ability to change around the menus so those you're most interested in can be scrolled to up or down, left or right, quicker. You can rotate your wrist toward you to activate one of the chosen 45+ provided watch faces (the automatic watch face reveal can be scheduled to turn off when you're sleeping) or you can just tap the lower part of the face and the length of time for viewing can be changed, too. Then you can scroll the menu so that side to side brings up Alexa/ Notifications in one directions and Weather/Heart rate in the other as they repeat in a circle. Pulling the screen down reveals More/Workout/Weather/Events/Breathing/Stress/Notifications/SpO2/Heart Rate/PAI/Status before returning back the the watch face. MORE gives you options: DND/Alarm/Camera/Music/Stopwatch/Timer/Find Device/Silent/World Clock/Band Display/Settings. When you use the app to download one of the 45+ watch faces (band display) at least five remain as a choice in the Band Display section for quick change. Settings allows further adjustments to the watch face use and ability to reboot.
WORKOUT: Outdoor Running/Treadmill/Cycling/Indoor Cycling/Walking/Elliptical/Rowing Machine/Yoga/Jump Rope/Pool Swimming/Freestyle
WEATHER gives you current local conditions and forecast for the next six days. Temperature/Humidity/Level/Quality
EVENTS are reminders of upcoming things you input by speaking into the watch.
BREATHING is an exercise to calm and relax you.
STRESS measures your level between 0 and 100 based on heart and pulse ox and other factors.
SPO2, also known as oxygen saturation, is a measure of the amount of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin in the blood relative to the amount of hemoglobin not carrying oxygen. The body needs a certain level of oxygen in the blood or it will not function as efficiently. In fact, very low levels of SpO2 can result in very serious symptoms. You can quickly test here to obtain your SpO2.
HEART RATE measures the beats per minute, BPM, and can be set to check this periodically or manually here.
PAI is the physical activity intelligence that takes data to provide a number up to 100 showing your activity level, and this number climbs as days pass and it automatically computes the number. You can quickly do a manual test here, too, following the on screen directions.
STATUS shows your steps, calories used, distance walked, idle alerts (if so set), and previous days step counts.
ALEXA is a nice addition and works well with responses in text format. It is not necessary to say the name, Alexa, just scroll to menu and input your command or question. I often use my Band 5 to turn on/off or command smart lights, plugs, and smart light strips. I can walk in a room and command a light, or change the temperature on the Ecobee Thermostat, if so desired. Very quick responses to questions and computations make this a very nice feature.
NOTIFICATION work very well and promptly show on the watch face to be easily read, and can be scrolled if a long message is received.
BATTERY LIFE so far seems to be on average around two week at least before a 2 hour charge is necessary using the round magnetically attached plug and short cord. I charged mine after 12 days at 17% remaining charge so it would have gone a full two weeks before going dead.
CONCLUSION. There is a lot to explore and I have continued too use a Fitbit Versa for steps and distance as well as another app, MapMyRun, to plot the GPS path and distance. I have not gotten the Amazfit Band 5 to accurately give my distance and show a GPS plotted route like the MapMyRun app provides. However, the step count is more accurate. It may well be that the Versa and MapMyRun app are interfering with the GPS so that Band 5 cannot calculate this properly. I will experiment in time and work with developers to see if a solution can be found, but it's not a big problem for me. MapMyRun's browser data and history with routes is quite satisfactory and I have found history is available when you use the icon in the top right of the Zepp app and see under Exercise Data the Exercise Record where period of time can be selected and individual dates show full data (again, the routes shown and distance/steps are wrong, so far, and still experimenting with this error). The Versa serves as a watch and notifications I can easily read. Band 5 does not provide the ability to switch functions while using the Workout function, but it does show notifications. So you cannot use the Band 5 for anything else during work outs, if I am not mistaken. Note that outside in the sunlight it is very hard to read the screen, however, unless you turn the brightness up under setting to maximum from the default applied to conserve battery.
Overall I am very pleased with all the data, including the SLEEP DATA it provides for helping the wearer to better health. A beta Breathing tracking function can be set to check for problems while you sleep and it scored me 99 out of 100. As you turn on things like this it does warn of extra battery use. It could be, and probably will be tweaked so the wearer can more customize it to the wearer's own needs and life. For the price, it is great, and now there is an inexpensive compatible replacement band assortment in 15 colors for easy change to coordinate with your daily wardrobe. As I wear and use the Band 5 I may add more to this review.UPDATE AFTER DST: Strangely the sleep record is not recording on the date it should and runs a day behind. Reporting errors or suggested improvements seems to go unnoticed as the step count is still showing the miles lower than actual, e.g., 3 miles is shown as approximately 2.5 even though the steps are correct, so the stride distance is wrong and possibly due to the GPS not working correctly with my Moto G6 Plus watch. No fix so I depend on my cell's app, MayMyRun, to accurately record this for me.
Aside from the insanely cheap price tag for what this thing is capable of doing, the main reason I bought the Amazefit Band 5 was for the stress tracking levels since most brands don't include that feature yet. Apparently many trackers can tell you when you're stressed, but they can't give you stress LEVEL readings (i.e. a numbered stress reading between 1-100).
I guess there's a good reason why, though. It's simply not accurate, and I'm guessing most brands are holding off on including it until the technology is far enough along to make it more accurate (i.e. until it's not just a gimmick).I have Ulcerative Colitis, and if you look at my daily stress level reports on days where I feel great vs days I'm suffering through a full blown attack throughout the entire day, you can't spot the difference.It's also worth noting that while it does continuous readings throughout the day, most of those readings are attempted failures since you have to be still and have the band on tight enough for it to be able to get a reading. Example: the other day I had a 6 hour gap between automatic readings. And most of the time I can't even get it to do a manual reading.
So what you end up with is an inaccurate metric that can't even be recorded for large chunks of the day. So in that sense, I'm profoundly disappointed since that (in addition to the low price) was the reason I bought the Amaze Band 5 instead of leveling up to a $100 Garmin or Fitbit.
Another (potential) qualm I have is the caloric expenditure tracking. I could be wrong, but I feel like it's too generous telling me how many calories I've burned during a "Freestyle" or "Walking" workout session.Okay, so all of that was the bad. The good, though? Everything else seems to work fantastically and exceeded my expectations.
- Battery is amazing, even if you turn on all of the options that drain the battery faster.
- Sleep tracking seems like it's pretty darn accurate. The only thing I've noticed is that sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and am deep in thought for awhile before I can fall back asleep, my sleep report will note that I initially woke up for a few minutes, but then it will think I fell back asleep shortly after since I'm not moving around despite being awake. But it's hard to knock that too much since I'm not sure if ANY tracker would be able to tell the difference when the person is pretty motionless before eventually falling back asleep.
- The app is great. Lots of things to track and options for customization. And while it's kind of easy to get lost trying to look for certain options, the overall design and ease of use is fantastic. That said, I can't figure out how to make it stop using military time. Unless I'm missing something here, there's no option to change it...and that's pretty annoying.
- I've had zero problems with any sort of lag using the touch screen...which was the main thing that annoyed me back when I had the Generation 1 Apple Watch.Final summary: I may be more easily impressed since the last smartwatch/fitness tracker I owned was the Generation 1 Apple Watch (which is a dinosaur at this point)...but I'm legitimately blown away with what you're getting for a price tag south of $40. If you're looking for the ultimate budget fitness tracker, I don't see how the Amazefit 5 Band can be beat. Just don't buy it solely for stress level tracking like I did...because it simply doesn't work.
