Okay so I want a watch to track my heart rate. Budget maximum is RM300
Since amazfit bip is 'newly' global launch
Should I get it?
I want to pair with iOS or use it totally without pairing. Also must be able to swim with the watch.
And why I check on Lajadah so many versions of bip, there is bip lite, youth lite, etc.

Currently used it.. the Chinese market one... but end of last year it's automatic updated to enlish a.k.a global version when synced with mi fit due to language setting in mi fit apps... but with android. A decent smartwatch... battery tahan for a week... battery charged fast. Using it as normal watch + 1hr daily to count my workout. 3% battery still can tahan for more than a day.
compatible apps mi fit... but can link with strava/endomondo via 'Fitness & Notify for Amazfit' (paid - USD2.99) apps.
bip only got one version other market call it bip lite / youth / youth lite imho.

11 street. Last month they were selling at rm 1xx only with vouchers. Vouchers no more now. Normal price RM 23x Good as a fitness tracker. Function wise really worth it.  Size comparison is almost same as my old Pebble. Resolution feels a bit lower though. This post has been edited by jojo_g2: Feb 7 2018, 12:03 PM

Using one at the moment, China market one. So far so good. If u use it as a normal watch, the battery can last for one and a half month easily. Shorten to a month if u turn on automatic heart rate detection.

But if you just want it for resting heart rate/for fun no problem.

amazefit bip screen looks so dull when compared among 3, in picture/video cannot spot it...feel a bit disappointed
mi band 3 is simple and really value for money all the measurement reading +/- the same for me

Mi band 3 is enough for me. Decent step measurement, awesome sleep tracker and good enough auto hr for you to analyze your body stress trend tru out activities. Notifications and alarm are wonderful.
Most importantly small and light. Decent battery life.
For 100 ringgit its a bargain.

I'm also interested. The Amazfit Stratos is more like a proper smartwatch and looks classier. But for the price, I'd rather spend a few hundreds more Apple Watch Series 4.

but instead when for amazefit bip
been using for 2 months plus,
so far so good for me,
i hardly check my HR but kinda like how they track my sleeping hours (i can say 90% accurate on my sleeping hour)
battery life, 20 days max because i mostly turn on everything alarm, notifications, 24hr HR monitor, colorful watchface, GPS, weather.

Erm, a warning for TS.
Xiaomi fitness trackers aren't exactly known to be particularly precise with its heart and step measurements.
BUT...the same can also be said of the more expensive Fitbit.
What I'm saying is...well...don't take their readings too seriously lar.

QUOTE(kiasunkiasi @ Oct 31 2018, 11:33 AM) how much you bought it? can give a quick review? I bought from a shop at Kota Raya for RM750 with one year warranty. You can check out Shopee / Lazada / 11streets. Some sellers sell it below RM700. My friend bought Stratos together with me, he managed to get 1 to 1 replacement due to the watch is unable to charge. Usage, so far I am very satisfied with the Stratos spec. The GPS accuracy is compatible to Garmin / Suunto. The only drawback, the evelation graph is not very accurate with the recent software update. I guess the developers will fix the flaw soon.
