Amazfit – Bip Max 50mm Smart Watch, Large 2.07″ AMOLED Display, 20 Days of Battery, GPS – Silver/Black – (2026)

Decent watch - I had a basic smart watch but I lost it. The new one has more features. I don't have to pay a monthly fee. I can read the time clearly. It does a nice job of tracking my sleep. It has a fairly long battery life. I don't think it is lasting 20 days. I thouhgt it might be too big for my wrist. Now I like the size. I like the watch band, It is comfortable and I like the double loops.

Sleep monitoring blood pressure monitoring - Good battery life,clear displaying very nice on your wrist not to bulky

health monitoring - its can beat with any apple watch..faster smoother and lot of feature

Its a good starter watch - Amazing battery life got it for my kid as her first watch and she is loving it

WOW ! - For this money ! It is a great present for myself. Very light and battery lasts forever! Like many different faces and use it while asleep to see my circle. It is my second week and I am in love.

Returned due to band style - I returned this smartwatch the next day because I had a hard time getting the wristband on. It just wasn't the right fit for me.

Excellent smartwatch with everyday life options. - My wife has an iWatch. She loves it but it’s obviously expensive…I just wanted something to help me track steps, keep track of time, if it did other stuff then great. I got the Amazfit – Bip Max Smartwatch and so far I’m loving it. The watch is comfortable and has a ton of features. I’ve been wearing it daily for about a month, so far, I have no real complaints. The watch was easy to set up with the downloaded app. There are several screen options so you can set the appearance to what you prefer and several that are downloadable from the app. It syncs with your phone and you can view texts but not respond, you answer phone calls and see the weather. Life 360 notifications show on the watch and so do email notifications once they are all setup. The battery life is excellent as well. It has options that track things like steps, sleep, and stress which I have found very helpful. The sleep tracker is eye opening. It has a workout tracker that allows you to track your activity based off the type of activity you are doing…so if you are on a treadmill you can tell it that…if you are outside running you can tell it that too. You can ear badges to help with motivation. The only negative I have is the thickness of the watch. I bump it a lot as it sticks up quite a bite. I wasn’t used to wearing a watch, but I’m adjusting to it. I’ve very pleased with the options on the watch, especially for the price. It you want something that can do a lot especially fitness wise but you don’t need all the iwatch options…I highly recommend this watch.

Fantastic, Affordable Smart Watch - The Amazfit Bip Max is a really nice smart watch that is the perfect smart watch for people that don't want to spend a ton of money but still want something that has great fitness tracking features. First of all, the Max in the name should tip you off that this is a rather large smart watch. The screen is 50mm large, which is larger than most smart watches. But it doesn't feel too massive on my wrist. It is still very comfortable to wear all day. The screen is also nice and bright and has a good resolution. Everything is clear and easy to read. And the larger 50mm size makes it easy to navigate as well. It features very good battery life, up to 20 days according to Amazfit. However, the more you use it, of course you'll get less than that. But even then, I could easily get a week's use out of it without needing to recharge. It's definitely good for people that don't want yet another device they have to remember to charge everyday. Feature wise, it is pretty well featured. It features bluetooth and GPS, but no wifi or cell connection, which is expected at this price range. And those features aren't really missed. If you don't want to carry your phone with you on a run, you can actually download maps to the watch itself so it can still track your runs/walks and even still give you directions. You use the watch in conjunction with the Zepp app on your iOS or Android phone. Together, you get a very full featured fitness experience. You can track all sorts of exercises and really get your fitness and nutrition into shape. It is a free app with no subscription fees, which is always refreshing. Overall, this is a really great fitness tracking smart watch which does a great job tracking exercises, is very comfortable, has amazing battery life, and is extremely affordable. I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants a great fitness tracker without the premium price tag.

Best Watch hands down. - Amazfit - Bip Max Smartwatch 50mm Silicone - Silver - (2026). This has been the best GPS & able to download offline maps which was super fast took like 30 sec for if that to download the map of my area I wanted, the turn by turn tracking precision was so on point it extremely impressive. It comes with 4GB of storage to have the space to download your maps you want and media. I love being able to leave my phone behind and focus on my workout, it mirrors your phone for notifications that are turned on, I turn them all off so I get no distractions while going for my runs or working out. It there’s subscription free Zepp app for offline maps, also all In one training, strength, endurance & nutrition. Fitness tracker is amazing compared to some of the other big name smart watches that do half the stuff Amazfit does and no hassle training to get it to work without your phone near by. And the screen size and clarity are also amazing no issue with tiny screens it works great with all finger sizes can see everything clearly. You can change the face style to fit your needs and what you want and on your screen that’s most important to you. It is super lightweight and comfortable to wear even to sleep it was comfortable it tracks sleep patterns accurately that I’ve noticed being that I have sleep issues. And the battery life AMAZING!!!! I Have not had to charge it at all & it’s still at 90% it’s been a couple weeks, my other big name brand smartwatche dead sometimes before the end of the day, having to charge midday is insane can’t even finish a day of hiking, but not with Amazfit battery life you don’t have to worry about not being able to track a full workout. The phone calls are nice, clear and loud you are able to hear perfectly and the person your speaking to hear you perfectly also.

A lot of Smartwatch for the money - I’m a tech guy and have been wearing smartwatches for years. For some perspective, I’ve owned every generation of the Apple Watch Ultra so that is naturally what I compare other smartwatches against. But I’ll say right up front that comparing the Amazfit Bip Max directly to an Apple Watch Ultra would be completely unfair. They are in two very different price categories, and that is actually what makes the Bip Max so interesting. I first saw it when it came out of the box; it looks and feels so much better than what I expected at that price. I have the 50mm silver version with the silicone band, and I like it in the bigger size. I am used to having a big watch on my wrist, so the Bip Max feels right. The large AMOLED display is bright, sharp, easy to read, and navigating the watch once you spend a little time with it is pretty straightforward. It also has way more features than I expected at this price. You get GPS, heart-rate tracking, sleep and activity tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, stress tracking and a huge variety of workout modes. I appreciate the built-in GPS because I don’t want to have to always take a phone for my walk or even for any outdoor activity. Battery life may be my favorite part. Coming from an Apple Watch Ultra, I’m conditioned to keep an eye on battery percentage and think about when I’m going to charge it. With the Bip Max, battery life is measured in days and maybe weeks instead of always getting it back to a charger. That alone changes how you use the watch. There are certainly some things the Apple Watch Ultra does better when you’re heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem like I am. The combination of iPhone and Apple Watch is tough to beat. But again, look at the price difference. I can’t criticize a watch costing a fraction of the price for not providing exactly the same experience. What I keep coming back to with the Amazfit Bip Max is value. The Amazfit Bip Max has a big, good-looking screen, a good battery life, GPS, a lot of health and fitness tracking that is really nice and a very polished overall experience without spending over $100. I really expected it to feel so much more like a budget smartwatch than it does. I’m not getting rid of my Apple Watch Ultra, but that’s really beside the point. And after using the Bip Max, I can definitely understand why someone would look at the price of the premium smartwatches and decide they simply don’t need to spend that kind of money. For what the Bip Max costs and what you get in return, Amazfit did a really good job with this watch.

Excellent - I usually wear a smart watch from the fruit company. I have to admit I was impressed by this Amazfit watch. I do wish I could find more band options, but the included plastic band is not bad. It is very light and does not feel as sturdy, but that may be an incorrect impression as so far I like it. I do like the functions and the operation of this watch. I do find the watch speaker phone is not as clear as the fruit watch, but it isn't that bad. In loud environments it is a challenge ! The battery life is impressive- I am currently getting 4-5 days of use without charging. The fruit watch gives me 2 days if i'm lucky. There is a lack of 'face' options, but the one it comes with covers just about all the requirements and rather well. The readings seem accurate and follow along the lines of my other watch. I find the sport options a bit confusing but quite substantial. All in all, I am impressed by this watch which costs a small fraction of the fruit watch. If a general and fitness focused watch is what you need, this watch covers all the options !

Great Screen, Features & Battery Life, Smooth UI! - The Amazfit Bip Max is a responsive smartwatch with a large, bright, display, loads of features, and excellent battery life! Design The Bip Max has a bright screen with rich color. It's bright enough that I have no problems seeing it outside in the daylight. The screen is very large too at just over too inches. Somehow, while I would say it's a large watch, it doesn't feel heavy or too big as I wear it. The face looks like a clean, rounded rectangle. The watch strap is sort of a standard kind, but improved. There are two loops to hold the straps in place, and the one loop has a piece sticking down that fits into the slots on the band to keep the loops from coming off. There are also a lot of slots in the strap so it can fit many different wrist sizes. There's a built-in speaker that has very good volume for music and phone calls. The mic works well too. When I used it for calling the person on the other end could hear me very well and I could hear them clearly. You can even open a dial pad to make calls from the watch. There's a small charging puck that holds the watch on magnetically but has two metal contacts. Plug a USB C cable (not included) into the puck, while the watch is attached to the puck, in order to charge the watch. Controls One thing I like about having a large screen is it makes it easier to touch buttons on the screen. Text is also larger than I'm used to on a smartwatch. All of that helps the user experience. Using the Bip Max feels very fast and fluid. Whether scrolling through the exercise list, the app list, notifications, or moving around on a map (you can download maps to it on it's built-in Map app), it's very fast and responsive to button taps and swiping. There are two buttons on the side, one red and one silver. The top/red button often acts as a back button. It also takes you to the exercise list from the main watch face. The lower/silver button takes you to the app list from the main watch face and is used for different things in different apps. Both buttons have a very good, solid, feel. You know when you press them and I haven't pressed them by accident. Swiping is also very key to navigation. From the main watch face you can swipe down to see notifications, swipe down a second time to access lots of quick settings, swipe left on the watch face to see the app list, swipe right to see the exercise list, and swipe up to get a quick view of various stats, weather, quick access to music play back, and more. The motion detection of turning your wrist towards your face to turn on the watch face works very well. You can actually respond to messages from the watch using an on-screen keyboard, selecting a quick response, using the mic, or sending an emoticon. There is also Zepp Flow which is a handy way to get an AI overview of a message. You can also use it for other things on the watch, like setting an alarm. You can also set the alarms on the Alarm app in the watch, of course. Battery Life I totally believe it's possible to get 20 days of use, as advertised, on a charge with this watch. I've done a lot of extra playing around and messing with settings. I even turned on the Always On Display for 7:00am to 9:00pm. I also turned on some extra auto monitoring, of heart info, like blood oxygen level. It's checking every 5 minutes. Even with that, it looks like I'll get at least 10 days on this charge, maybe more. I love that I don't need to be thinking about charging it every day. Features There are so many settings and features that I couldn't cover everything here, but I will touch on some of my favorites. - Using the Zepp app, you can easily copy music and podcasts to the watch from your phone and listen without having your phone with you. I used this to copy some podcasts and an audio drama. I listed to the audio drama with ear pieces over Bluetooth from the watch while mowing the lawn. - With the Zepp App you can select a map region on your phone in the Zepp app and transfer it to your watch. The built-in map app works well on your watch and locks onto your location quickly with GPS when you're outside. It even has navigation. - You can use the Zepp app to select the apps you want to receive notifications from. You can hit one button to select all of them, but I just picked the ones I wanted to see show up on my watch. I should add that I have an Android smartphone. - The built-in Weather app has an overview of the weather with three screens of info as you scroll vertically. It shows current temp, high and low, and humidity, a five day forecast, and info like telling you outdoor workouts may be at risk (due to rain, for instance). - The calendar shows an entire month at a time and lets you swipe from month to month vertically. Tap on the month view and you can scroll through an agenda view starting with the current day and going forward. - The "Stopwatch", countdown "Timer", and "Voice Memo" app are simple to use and work very well. Alarms are easy to work with and give the settings I need for repeating or one time use. If you configure a sleep schedule you can set a "Wake-Up Alarm" so wake you at an optimal time based on where you're at in your sleep cycle and when you need to be up. It seems you can add as many alarms as you want, though there is probably some limit. - I really like the Compass app. It has a very quick and simple calibration. After that it updates quickly and seems to be accurate. - The Calculator (I think I got this from the store) presents all the buttons needed on one screen in a very usable way. - There is a Membership Card app built-in that works very well. It was easy to add cards I used it today at a gas pump. It displays the barcode and brightens the display. The gas pump had no issue reading it. - There are tons of tools to track workouts and exercise throughout the day as well as sleeping at night. So far I feel like the sensors all work well. I haven't gotten to do any crazy exercise with it yet but I look forward to wearing it for some soccer and biking. - I love the Always On Display. It's a low power usage watch face to save battery, yet still very visible. You just set the window of time during the day you want it to be active. - At night time there are three settings I use. I have the Always-On display set to turn off at a specific time, I use a "Sleep Mode" to keep the watch face from turning off when I turn my wrist, so when I toss and turn at night it doesn't turn the screen on, and I turn on "Night Display" which changes everything to a shade of red. These setting help reduce battery life and reduce the chance of waking me up more than needed over night. - Of course the watch measures lots of activity and health data from your body. One thing I like is the "Evening Review" it gives. It gives you a snapshot from the day. A data points I like to see is the time of my highest stress point. It seems to correlate well with stressful events happening. For instance, today it was right on with a time in the day when I would have been very stressed. The stress point measurement with an actual time gives me something actionable, I feel, so I can consider how to handle stress better during the type of event that occurred at that time. I was expecting the health and fitness features but didn't consider this and find the stress monitoring more helpful than I expected. Watch Faces and Apps There are many apps available for the Bip Max as well as watch faces from the store you can access on the Zepp App. Here are some of my favorite apps I installed, all free from the store. There are paid apps too. - Calculator - Throw the Dice - Random Number - Minesweeper (plays amazingly well!) - Cross Space (like flappy bird) - Solitaire Classic (this works pretty well, crazy small, but it does work) There are many Watch Faces as well. It came with a bunch installed. I've added another 5 or 6 that were free from the store. I have 16 installed now. There are lots of paid watch faces available in the store too. Adding apps, music, watch faces, etc. hasn't bogged it down at all. The operation has stayed fast and smooth. Zepp App You will want to install this app. Besides being used to update the watch, it gives you access to the watch face and app stores as well as letting you view data collected by the watch. It even has some app-only, on phone, features, like relaxing audio (Aura) and badges. You can view all in it so make sure you take some time to dig around. I'm still finding everything it has to offer. Summary The Amazfit Bip Max has a huge list of things to love about it. Some may think a 50mm watch is too large. I wasn't sure what I would think, but I love having larger text and more display space, and I'm guessing the size gives more room for a larger battery. The battery life is great! You can wear it for swimming but it's only water resistant to 5 feet. One feature that is missing is tap-to-pay, so you can't use this watch for payments at a store or gas pumps, for instance. To me that's a small concession for all the other features the Bip Max has and the high value it offers. Especially when my phone can do the tap-to-pay anyway. If you're looking for a smartwatch with a big & bright display and great battery life to go along with a full set of health monitoring and training features, check out the Amazfit Bip Max!

Do I Ever Need to Charge it? - The first thing that impressed me - both negatively and positively - was the size. This is a huge watch with a beautiful 2.07-inc AMOLED screen which is more commonly found in some much more expensive smart watches from the usual top brands. The second and even more important thing was its accuracy, especially heart rate with emphasis on HRV. Those two features would have made me happy already, especially considering its amazing price, but that was just the beginning. I also have one those expensive smart watches I mentioned above, but this Amazfit Bip Max puts it to shame when it comes to the amazing (no pun intended) battery life. While my other watch ends the day with 65% of power if I use it in Theater (Always-on turned off) mode all day and 47% or less when in always-on display mode, this watch still has 90% at the end of the first day using always-on display and 80% the second day. In other words, I only have to charge it once a week. I haven't tested it with the display turned off as my other watch, but I truly believe it will last two weeks (or longer) without charging as they advertise. That's really impressive. I still have to find something that I miss when compared to more expensive smart watches. It comes with Bluetooth call capability, wireless earbud connectivity, and you can store a lot of music in it. It even comes with many watch faces. No subscription required either although it is always reminding you to join Zepp Aura services which I just ignore. However, there are some compromises and weakness. If you have a small wrist, it may look bulky and feel clunky. I mentioned earlier that I still had to find something that I missed and I found it: no NFC for contactless payments (like Apple Pay or Google Wallet). It also has no altimeter and consequently can't track floors or elevation which is common during hikes. Oh, yes. No temperature sensor either. The cons are few. Even the lack of NFC is no big deal for me. I prefer to use my phone rather than my watch for payments anyway. And not having to charge everyday is huge, especially when you're traveling and have little time for that kind of task. To make it all even better, the price is perfect!

Best tech bought in YEARS! - Since it arrived, I’ve worn this watch almost nonstop—while sleeping, showering, and checking the time throughout the day whenever my mom asks. It only needs to recharge every three to four days on its charging pad, which is convenient. I also appreciate its health features, though I do wish it could provide even more detailed personal health insights; unfortunately, that kind of capability is not available yet. I am totally amazed by this product, and apparently there are several more models as well. It includes many of the essential apps and features you would expect from a smartphone, while offering a range of options that helps you focus on what matters most in daily life. This version connects to your smartphone, can help locate it when misplaced, includes Bluetooth, and is durable enough to handle everyday wear while remaining waterproof. I even sleep with it on. It tracks key information such as blood pressure, weather, pulse, and oxygen levels, and it can display the time in styles similar to almost any watch you have owned. With its growing capabilities, it feels just one step away from becoming a full smartphone, a portable AI assistant, or even a compact laptop-like device. The base model that I own does everything and anything that I can expect from smartphones' most needed apps And is a piece of hardware that is built outstandingly resilient. This product almost makes me wish that I had an Amazon-built smartphone instead of the other monopoly phones since Amazon demonstrated on this device that it can encompass everything a person needs on a wrist. I was disappointed when I felt forced to move from 3G to 4G, especially because I had turned my portable tablet into a capable smartphone by taping a transmitter to its side, and it worked better than the phone I had to use. With this watch, though, I would choose to buy another one when it improves or wears out. That feels like real capitalism: a product I genuinely want, rather than one I feel pressured into buying. The smartphone in my pocket has fallen out A number of times its screen has cracked; it's been misplaced. It does not fit appropriately in a normal pocket so it is designed to slip and fall through vigorous testing by the monopoly. It's not as reliable as a phone function, roaming interrupting incompatible features It qualifies as a poor-level phone in comparison to an analog phone, whereas this Amazon watch it removes all those deficiencies and serves its primary function as a watch to tell you the time exceptionally well. Good for young people and old people. Reasonable for the healthy and the sick and disabled. I could even give it to my 91-year-old mother and she will not complain about trying to understand its primary use as whereas she cannot deal with a smartphone's primary use because it is not as presentable legacy compatible as this watch The time is easy to read can be set up without complications, although swiping your finger over the touch screen can cause confusion, like all touch screen devices seem to do, unlike a smartphone where you have to tap a bunch of visual buttons to get it to work so it covers all the legacy needs as well as the future needs; it is human-friendly for all ages The only issue I have is that I am diabetic and need glasses just to see script on a computer monitor and this watch can present so much information on its tiny screen that the letters require a magnifying glass to read and therefore I do need to push a button to get the details, but being a physical button, it doesn't enter complete artificial intelligence and demands some kind of virtual reality to pump your brain up; therefore, it covers range of different people, cultures, difficulties of health and functionalities.

Amazfit Bip Max smart watch has huge potential - Right away I noticed: The Amazfit Bip Max Smartwatch 50mm Silicone Silver (2026) is a large watch. At 50mm, it has a LARGE face, and yes, that does make it easier to read. But does anyone really need to see all of that information on their watch at one time? And the watch is very thick - making it look clunky. Out to lunch with a friend while wearing the watch, I was asked if I was wearing a phone on my wrist. It is a large watch at 50mm, but that does make it so that a lot of the information you want can be on your wrist and you are able to actually read it. That makes room for the 2.07" Amoled display which is definitely clear and bright. I have chosen a watch face that has a LOT of info including date/day, time, weather, charge, steps, sleep hours, distance walked and so much more, all on the watch face. And yes, I am able to read everything. This watch is also bulky - it is thick at .43" - so almost 1/2" thick. It does Have a built-in speaker Oh, minor thing, but the watch box actually opens at its bottom. You will need to sync with the "ZEPP" app to get things going - the settings are there, and then keep using it for your training and nutrition insights. Not starting out as a big fan of the look of the watch, there was a lot for it to overcome for it to be a keeper for me. First thing, I had a terribly difficult time getting the watch band connected to the watch body. I do have another brand of smart watch and that band just slides onto the watch body and clicks into place - this one does not. The instructions were to insert one pin into one hole then try to pull back a tiny lever to pull the spring rod, align the other pin with the other hole and then let it snap into place. That didn't happen for me; I watched YouTube videos and I could see that the video makers had the same issues, but some just cut that part out. Frustrated, I handed the watch over to a friend and after a bit, they were able to get it on. All I know is that I will never take this band off though I wish I could replace it with another band because it, like the watch body, is HUGE. I did find there are many replacement bands available online - perhaps they would be better? This watch comes with a charging puck that needs a USB-C cable for charging, but a cable is not included. I happen to have USB-C cables on hand, but does everyone who purchases this watch? They do place a statement on the internal box that holds the watch that says they didn't include the USB-C cable because "...every little choice helps the planet". Just like other companies, they are taking the least expensive way for themselves. The charging puck attaches magnetically to the back of the watch - just make sure to line up the pins. You should only need to charge the watch every 20 days under normal use, which is fantastic. I charged mine up when it arrived about 6 days ago, and I haven't needed to charge it again. It is now at 72%. The Bip Max comes with 4gb of onboard storage for downloads - they suggest workouts or podcasts, along with downloading maps for GPS tracking. As this is a tracker, you will want the notifications that come with a buzz buzz on the wrist that tell you what you need to know about meeting your goals, along with suggestions. It sometimes tells me what a good job I have been doing while at other times, it chastises me for not keeping up with my set goals. It tracks the normal things - steps, calories burned, keeps track of your time working out, heartbeat monitor, etc. It has a lot that it keeps track of. The Amazfit Bip Max Smartwatch 50mm Silicone Silver (2026) is a watch with a lot of potential, but it is hard for it to overcome its huge size and clunky body to become something I would want to wear on my wrist daily. It does track a lot, and seems to do that relatively well, but please Amazfit, offer a smaller, more slim size watch body with a choice of smaller bands. This watch is not for me the way it is now... but perhaps with future changes to its aesthetic, it would be, especially for the price. Your opinion may differ!

Affordable smartwatch! Excellent battery life - My husband and I have been pretty dedicated to Fitbits and Apple Watches for our smart watches. Over the years Fitbit has become really unreliable as far as battery life and fitness tracking is concerned. I got an Apple watch that has satisfied my needs as a primarily Apple user, but I wanted to get my android-using husband a new watch too without breaking the bank. After about two weeks of use with this watch, we're both very impressed with this Bip Max Smartwatch. If you're at all familiar with smartwatch setup, it's pretty much the same as the other major brands. You download the Zepp app and follow the instructions for setting it up and pairing it to your phone. The whole setup I think took less than 10 minutes. The watch interface is incredibly intuitive again if you're used to a smartwatch. It has a lot of customization features to it like you have for the Apple Watch and like other watches, you're able to track a lot of the same things regarding your heart rate, workouts, blood oxygen levels, etc... and it has GPS tracking similar to how Apple does. It gives you step by step navigation on the watch and so far it seems as precise. You can get app notifications on it just like the Apple watch too and the notification pattern is pretty similar. Obviously I think the biggest perk compared to especially Apple Watch is the battery life. That's what really grabbed our attention with this watch. It has excellent (maybe the best I've seen so far) battery life. We've been testing this watch for about two weeks now and haven't had to charge it yet. We haven't hit the 20 day promise of battery life, but I have a feeling we'll come close to that threshold. My personal biggest complaint if this watch were for me and not my husband is the sheer clunkiness of it. It looks very large sitting on my wrist and I think for me it would take a lot more getting used to or might be a bit more bothersome. But for my husband it looks fairly normal sized. The next biggest thing is unique to anyone who is heavily tattooed on the wrist. With the Apple watch and Fitbit, sensors don't work as well/sometimes not at all over tattoos and this watch is similar. So it makes accurate readings a bit more challenging, especially when working out because as the watch moves over a tattooed area, it stops tracking vitals accurately. We've found work arounds over the years for other watches so we're going to try some of them with this watch as well. Overall, I absolutely would recommend this watch to anyone who is looking to not spend a fortune on a name brand one and who just wants to track the basics as far as health and fitness go. Excited to see how this watch holds up over time! I'm very confident in its abilities right now.

Trainer on your wrist. - A comfortable large watch with associated IOS and Android apps, that aids you in understanding and interpreting physical exercise and training, recovery and rest. Before I became aware of this product, you might say that I was mostly unaware of the extent that this product category has developed, so please excuse the newbie knowledge deficit as I come up to speed and try to relate my learning experience and opinions formed from using the BIP MAX. First off, the unboxing starts with a little arrow on the lower left side of the back of the box that when pulled, separates the label affixed to the box flap and the main body of the box, allowing you to get at the contents without having to rip anything to pieces to get it open. The band, the BIP MAX and the charger base are all nestled safely in designated locations. There is no USB cable or charger included, so you’ll have to improvise something from your existing expected digital life to do so. Also, you will need to attach your watchband to the BIP MAX body. It’s easy. Next, is getting the ZEPP app installed on the IOS or Android phone of at least IOS 15 or Android 7.0 that you are expected to have. The app is found by either searching for it, or using the QR code in the tiny accompanying booklet or on the screen face of the BIP MAX itself after selecting your language preference. A whole host of questions regarding access, permissions and your physical attributes will be asked during the setup and pairing of the app to the BIP MAX. If you have difficulty pairing, try deleting the Bluetooth pairing on your phone and repeating the pairing process with the QR code reading from the watch face. Finally, the last automated step will undoubtedly be updating the watch with the latest version. This may take fifteen minutes or longer for the update, but shows a progress bar on the phone during the update. There are numerous watch faces to select from in the app, in case you aren’t a fan of the original one (I found the font for the clock portion really hard to read.) and some of the faces are customizable as to the features displayed. Speaking of the displayable features, sometimes there are just too many, especially for a non-hardcore workout enthusiast like me to appreciate! I’d recommend reading the Zepp app’s instructional documentation prior to purchase to ensure that the features you are looking for are included. You will see a number of terms that maybe only an athlete or a mother would love! Consider terms like Hybrid-Charge, LifeLoad events, HYROX training, HYROX simulation, Zepp Coach, Pomodoro Timer and Zepp Flow. My interests are currently more on the lighter side of the workout realm and only hoping to work up to utilize and appreciate the more advanced features available. Battery life is appreciatively long compared to my everyday smart watch. The manufacturer claims up to 20 days of use! I’ve been wearing this watch day and night for about three days and the charge is still reading about 81 percent remaining. This of course allows the watch to inform me about all of my sleep data, which is very useful. I found it kind of awkward to wear the watch at night at first, as out of necessity, I’ve been having to charge my other watch every night. However, you do get used to wearing it. Integration to the health data on my smartphone is surprisingly thorough. Step counts and many other parameters transfer over effortlessly. One noted abnormality is detected on the iPhone’s trends section in the health app, indicating an average of about ½ of the burned calories compared to the data collected by the previously worn, bitten-fruit watch. The Zepp app is quite thorough and offers very deep dives into sleep data and all manner of physiological data relating to exercise and fitness, although the manufacturer disclaims this product’s use as a medical device, it is eligible to be paid for with HSA or FSA accounts. There are some other features that are optionally available, but after a trial period, the paid subscription format kicks in. One of them is Zepp Aura, an AI-based personalized wellness system that utilizes the data gathered from your Bip Max or other Amazfit products to deliver sleep and stress-beneficial content, whether music or soundscapes, etc. It yields reports on your wellness, assists in stress management and helps improve your sleep. This product has built-in GPS and data storage of 4GB to download offline maps, record voice memos, store podcasts, etc. There are literally so many features available on this device, that there is insufficient space to list them here. Software improvements and changes are updated frequently, so the accuracy of what I might report has the possibility to be outdated. I really like this product. It is very comprehensive and relatively inexpensive compared to products from some of the more well-known manufacturers and especially in consideration of the incredibly versatile features this product includes. If for some reason the Bip Max doesn’t have something you need, Amazfit has a wide range of products that probably does have what you are looking for. The price of this product, especially if you can apply HSA/FSA pricing considerations, makes it a great deal.

Big and bright, good feature set. - The watch has big display and very bright, can see clearly even under direct afternoon sun light. Even though it is big but the body is lightweight made of aluminum alloy, its dark color blends in with the strap making the large size less obvious. The included strap is very comfortable. The watch can track stress, sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen and you can control your watch with your voice using Zepp Flow. The included AI is pretty good seems the same as google gemini or chatgpt. These are other stuff it can track, Sleep heart rate variability, Sleep stages (including REM), Daytime naps, Sleep schedule, Sleep breathing quality. Can do Menstrual cycle tracking too. The watch's water-resistance grade is 5 ATM, meaning it can withstand pressure equivalent to 50 meters or 164 feet of static water depth for up to 10 minutes. Its speaker is pretty loud. Battery life is very good, on paper should last up to 20 days. In my case, with everything enabled, it lasted more than 5 days. Even thought it has GPS receiver and can train and navigate without the phone, to use it, you need to store offline map on the watch and import the route file for navigation to work. It is not possible to choose a point on the offline map and have it route for navigation. Navigation functions only work with outdoor sports modes like walking or running etc. Bluetooth Phone Camera Control supports only iPhone. Unfortunately my phone is an Android. The watch does not have wifi so must rely on bluetooth connection with the phone to update or download or access internet. To use the watch, you must install the Zepp app on the phone. No charging cable is provided.

Lots of features, but hard to love - TLDR: While the tracker offers a ton of useful features, I can’t get over how amazingly cheap the device looks and feels. The phrase “Temu Fitbit” comes to mind. Review: I had a lot of hope when I started wearing the Amazfit Bip Max. I needed a replacement for my 5- or 6-year-old Fitbit Sense watch/tracker and this seemed to check every box. It offers tons of fitness tracking options and has stellar battery life. In my own testing against my Fitbit, the tracker was always within 10% of my total steps, bike journeys, and total calories burned, so I really can’t complain about the accuracy either. It has lots of options for exercise tracking, even activities that I would think are hard for a fitness tracker to accurately track (HIIT workouts, for example). The tracker and the companion Zepp app are VERY full-featured—almost comically so. I had a hard time thinking of something the device couldn’t track. And, yes, it has great battery life. At 7 days, it still had 24% battery life remaining before I charged. But rarely does being too-full-featured result in a poor score, and rest-assured that’s not the reason for my rating. So, what gives? Why does a tracker with lots of features, great battery life (legit 10 days!), and a decent price deserve a 3-star review? In short, the quality. Not only is the device comically ugly and unsightly to look at, but it also feels like a joke. The device is large (hence the “max” naming) at 2”, but it’s also thick. It sticks out atop of your wrist literally twice as far as my Fitbit. Some of that size could likely be attributed to the battery needed to power the large screen and long life, but the Fitbit gets similarly good battery life and doesn’t stick out. One of my family members asked if it was a real watch because they assumed it was a kid’s toy. I can't fault them for thinking so. Additionally, every physical interaction with the device left me feeling “meh”. It was just plastic-y and cheap feeling. And given its size and bulk, that plastic-y feeling was significant enough to make me not want to wear it. I honestly wonder how durable the device is because it sure doesn’t portray the feeling of a well-put-together tracker. My advice: skip Bip Max and spend a few more dollars on one of the Fitbit devices, or a legit smartwatch if you can swing it. This is one of those devices that you’ll shelf a few months after purchase, despite its robust feature set.

Long Time Listener & Multiple Caller - I have used the Amazfit brand for a long time. It was traditionally my go to for an economical smartmatch that delivered battery life still measured by a single-digit but the metric shifted from day to month (“OG” Amazfit Bip had 45 day battery life!). Back then it was achieved with smaller screens and limited features (still had BPM and Sp02). Today however, the Bip MAX is a full-featured smartwatch with a bright and spacious AMOLED display, and still getting amazing battery life…double digits if measured by days and single digits if measured by weeks. The feature set has everything you could want. For my testing, I setup the wearable to to mirror my Notifications and capture my movements and remind me when I have been stationary too long. I wanted to MAXimize battery life. The ZEPP companion software is very extensive in its capabilities. Setting up the device does not require an account to turn and get the time, etc. But if you want integrations, a ZEPP account is necessary. Once in the watch, you can set it up as typical companion device or go all in and use ZEPP as a primary source for a multitude of features. Some like the Zepp Messenger app, which is supposed to combine all of your messages in one place from your selected apps, are not fully featured yet. As of now, only SMS is available. The Amazfit Bip MAX is a bit larger than I was expecting coming from a 44mm round display. However the build materials keep it light and it doesn't feel as large as it looks. Once jacket weather comes around I may need to rethink my attire game, but for summer livin' I haven't had any issues. The band is comfortable and breathable and should accommodate larger wrists. The strap attachment was a little tricky as the spring pin rotates in the band to slide out of the way when wearing, it just means it takes a couple tries to get it to seat. 11 days of use and I'm sitting at 52% battery so the 20 days battery life should hold true. This marks the 4th or 5th Amazfit product I have had as the “OG” Amazfit I bought 4 for myself and family members. And still have all of them, which do work when charged. I can easily recommend this wearable, I would recommend seeing it in person if possible as the size for smaller wrists may be too large.
