Can call it smartwatch, but I think dont expect it to have expanded features ( like install apps, voice search, reply etc ). It's more like fitness band with watch display  whistling.gif

i'm more worried about it looks. does it cater for ladies or what? hmm.gif

nowadays fitness tracker & android watch can both function similarly.
i'm looking for those that can track indoor gym activities like treadmill & stationary bike, with my hand holding the equipment bar almost all the times, as well as swimming (waterproof??). i am looking at galaxy watch or amazfit stratos. i think these 2 fit the bil but not too sure. any comment from you guys that own these? or any other recommendation?

swimming they have 2 mode. swimming pool and open water. only diff is open water it track GPS. for swimming pool tracking the lap is quite accurate. the SWOLF and stroke rate traking sometimes is a miss.  for open water the GPS is not accurate it track off a lot might be due to my pool distance is short.( tested in swimming pool cause the swimming pool is open space).

all in all i'm ok with it as i'm not really a pro swim. just use it to measure my performance only

treadmill tracking is average. sometimes missed which is normal but you can calibrate or give it offset.
never tried indoor bike.

means it can track/count even if the hand is holding the equipment bar?

i changed from Stratos to Verge.
just for the sake of nicer screen.

but from a premium like look on stratos to sporty on Verge.
and Verge is much2 smaller too.

review online suggest battery life is about the same.
still testing mine , now on 3rd day with 40% left  icon_rolleyes.gif

verge looks better too.. unfortunately no 50m waterproof & swimming mode otherwise i sure grab one

i have honor band 4 also.. just simple and nice. batt can tahan 5-6 days per charge.  thumbup.gif

btw never bother how long it will charge.. lol...
*

i was worried for 1st time charging it never got to 100% after few hours. But for 2nd time i just let it charge til got 100% so now don care how long smile.gif . Its a good basic tracker including swimming so ok la. So far the only issue for me is on treadmill. It doesst seem to track properly the step & distance.

from the ones that i used before.
it is consider a smaller screen, compared to ticwatch pro.
about the same size as amazfit verge so is ok for me. tangan kecik biggrin.gif

basically an entry level activity tracker inside a watch .
has all the feature continuous heart rate monitor, gps, barometer, sleep tracking.
not able to install any additional app , no support for 3rd party app.
and only limited watch face and cant add custom one (for now maybe).

a good alternative to amazfit verge/stratos.
not for those who like to change or design own watchface. amazfit has good selection of custom nice ones.

lets see how the battery life goes.
said to last 7 days with continuous heart rate monitor
not sure how much notification from phone will makan battery.

no usable storage, only ROM
cant save music inside.
is the reason to not having music feature.
TLDR :quick 2 cent for the honor magic watch

Positive:
- ok design
- screen bright & color is good
- touch screen is responsive
- has all the activity tracking feature ( continuous heart rate monitor, sleep , compass, barometer,gps)
- shows notification from phone ( u can choose which app to display notification, thats it)

Negative:
- limited watch face
- cant add custom watch face (for now)
- not able to reply message/notification
- ugly notification page(to me)
- no music (cant pair to BT ear/headphone)
- no usable storage (only ROM)
*

can u check for me in the swim mode, is there a custom pool length? on honor band 4, there is 25m, 50m & also custom number from 20m~60m. i wonder whether on magic you can set any number.
