    Its puzzling why so many of these fitness watches don't have mp3/music support.

    • Jacku on 16/02/2018 - 16:01

      I have the original one and it has 4GB to play MP3.

      • billy_bob on 16/02/2018 - 16:02

        Hi Jacku, what is the name of that one, and how much did it cost?

        • scotty on 16/02/2018 - 16:54

          Amazfit Pace, and has been between USD $80 to $100 on OzBargain.

        • Jacku on 16/02/2018 - 17:41

          @scotty:
          Yes, that's the one.

          It is great watch but… lack of apps…

      • [Deactivated] on 16/02/2018 - 16:03

        Is that the $us100 Amazefit one?

    • Jamesx on 16/02/2018 - 16:17
      +9

      because they are fitness watch, NOT mp3 player
      do you want to charge it every 4 hours?
      mine goes for 40+ days, I listen to music with my phone

      • [Deactivated] on 16/02/2018 - 16:24
        +7

        because most people like to listen to music when they exercise. it'd be nice not having to lug around a phone. mp3 doesn't chew through the batteries, it's the screen that chews through most battery life, check battery usage on your phone.

        • pinkybrain on 16/02/2018 - 20:17

          so would the headphones be streaming via bluetooth from the watch?

      It’s ip68 standard. I used to own a couple of mi bands but they didn’t last long.

      But this Amazfit bip is great. Battery last for more than 30 days and I wore them daily.
      Some commented about it’s plastic but I think it is so light due to its Plastic body.

      Couple of the pebble-user reviews for this that I've seen say no. I'm just hoping one of the pebble open firmware projects gets going before the server shutdown.

        • sween64 on 17/02/2018 - 15:08

          @shamowfski:
          TLDR: BIP is better at activity tracking. Pebble 2 can respond to notifications.
          Edit: The second point can be overcome by using the Tasker app.

        • SaddenAscentAspirin on 17/02/2018 - 15:20

          @sween64:

          Yeah, I think it's about what you're looking for. I'm been using a pebble since they launched, so would be harder for me to switch to a different device.

        • sween64 on 17/02/2018 - 17:01

          @shamowfski: I had a pebble but a hot day at the beach killed it. It didn't respond to notifications so I won't miss that. I will miss not being able to answer calls or control music, hopefully a software hack or firmware update can fix that.

      • Jackson on 17/02/2018 - 01:17

        Does it have e to be before the shut down? Won't the pebbles still do everything they can with software already loaded onto them?

        I have a pebble which eventually died and now a pebble 2, I don't use it for that much really, mainly treat stopwatch, time and notifications, occasionally the weather and to control music. Anything you do specifically outside that?

        • SaddenAscentAspirin on 17/02/2018 - 14:35
          +1

          I think the app store will go, voice recognition also. There is a 3rd party app/face store, so that should be fine. But it also means that future ios/android updates could break things which won't be fixed anymore. I imagine they'll work for a fair while after that date, but some things will definitely break.

          edit: here is a good overview of what will go away:

    • fookos on 16/02/2018 - 16:49

      I'm still rocking my Pebble Time and My Pebble 2SE - best smartwatches ever. So disappointed that Pebble couldn't jump to the next hurdle of success and folded after being such pioneers. Happy that Fitbit will keep the servers running until June… hope they extend it again…

      Edit: I have the original Pebble also, but gets the screen tearing problem, so not wearing that one too often.

      • Jackson on 17/02/2018 - 01:19

        A lot of reviews I read at the time said the HR on the search was terrible so I didn't get it, how do you find it?

      • SaddenAscentAspirin on 17/02/2018 - 15:20

        Screen tearing is super easy to fix, but you will lose waterproofing. I fixed 3 of them and gave them away to friends who all eventually bought their own.

        • Jackson on 17/02/2018 - 20:03
          +1

          I fixed my screen tearing issue and and was able to maintain the waterproofing by using doust grease on the seal before putting it back together. I wasn't planning on risking it but a few days later I jumped in a pool forgetting my watch on and all was fine.

    • eddomak on 16/02/2018 - 16:52
      +11

      Mine just arrived the other day from the Aliexpress sale, and was to replace my original Pebble. A couple of comparison notes:

      1) Battery life is fantastic, just like the Pebble
      2) Visibility without backlight on is decent, Visibility with backlight is fine. Both depend on how "busy" a watchface you choose
      3) Notifications (on Android) can be limited to apps of your choice, like the Pebble
      4) Can only read messages and cannot respond to messages, whereas on Pebble you could quick reply with canned messages
      5) Cannot delete a message from your main device via watch, whereas on Pebble you could not only clear the notification you could also delete the message
      6) Vibration function is a little weaker than the Pebble

      What I don't like - need to click the button on the side to activate the screen before swiping. Pebble didn't have touchscreen so it was never a problem there.

      On the whole, cheap and cheerful, and pretty close to a Pebble, with added Fitness/Tracking functions. I haven't had enough time to see how to get it to sync with Strava etc, but it doesn't seem to do it straight out of the box.

      Hope this helps

      • Ttam on 16/02/2018 - 16:55

        Using the app "Notify and Fitness" I've been able to transfer workouts to Strava. HR data didn't seem to come across, though…

        • eddomak on 16/02/2018 - 17:09

          Thanks - I will give it a go.

        • eddomak on 16/02/2018 - 22:09
          +1

          Thanks for the heads up on the app. I have gone for the trial of the extension that allows sync to Strava and it has done it, inclusive of heart rate.

        • Ttam on 17/02/2018 - 01:14

          Heart rate too? I shall have to try again, I just tried it briefly on the free trial with a short walk.

          Thanks.

        • almotions on 17/02/2018 - 12:21

          Hi, with the "Notify and Fitness" app do you need to have your phone with you to record for strava export or can you do it with only the watch? Thanks!

        • eddomak on 17/02/2018 - 12:27
          +1

          No you don't need to have the phone with you during recording. The watch itself stores the workout data, then when it syncs with the phone (which can be anytime afterwards) the data is pushed to Notify &
          Fitness App, which then in turn pushes it to Strava.

      • bchliu on 16/02/2018 - 19:44

        Battery is better than what the Pebble ever dreamed of.. by a significant margin.

  • BeefBiryani on 16/02/2018 - 16:42

    Can I swim while wearing it?

    • [Deactivated] on 16/02/2018 - 16:49

      You can wear it while swimming.

      • azm on 16/02/2018 - 16:51

        Which app did you use for a swim?

    • azm on 16/02/2018 - 16:50
      +1

      Shower it’s fine. Swimming I don’t want to try it.

    • Ttam on 16/02/2018 - 16:53

      It's IP68 rated - put your own interpretation on that to decide whether you want to swim with it ;-)

      But seriously, I bought mine to replace an original Moto 360 that I went swimming with (IP67 rated). It was still working after a few minutes swimming, but when I got home I discovered that it was refusing to turn back on. Jumping off a rope swing may not have helped…

      After that, I've decided not to try swimming with my Bip.

    • KaTst3R on 16/02/2018 - 23:59

      IP68, no swimming recommended.

  • Sydgun on 16/02/2018 - 16:51

    Is the firmware in English?

    • Ttam on 16/02/2018 - 16:54

      I think it follows what you have set on your phone - but mine is in English, no problems. Although it did briefly display some language that I thought was Spanish while running an update.

  • knk on 16/02/2018 - 17:08

    I've been eyeing these but the way they calculate calories doesn't look great.

    I'm wanting a 'total daily expenditure' figure, based on my movements and heartrate similar to what fitbit does. Does anyone have one and can elaborate on how they work exactly?

    These from my (very limited admittedly) reading only track calories from activities. Will they give me a similar readout, or will it show that 'you burnt an extra 500 calories), do I have to trigger the workouts to start or will it know based on heart rate etc.

  • WantToPayLess on 16/02/2018 - 17:18
    +3

    Another plus is the availability of literally hundreds of 3rd party watchfaces, as well as the tools to create your own to make the watch really your own. See https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/bip/.

    • ChaLuo on 17/02/2018 - 07:46

      How do we upload the .bin to watch?

      • WantToPayLess on 17/02/2018 - 16:44

        The web site has all the instructions. Basically you use xiaomi's custom watch face upload facility, but overwrite the Xiaomi bin file with the one you want to use.

  • sween64 on 16/02/2018 - 18:15

  • [Deactivated] on 16/02/2018 - 19:46

    Can this connect to bluetooth bicycle sensors?

    • Ttam on 16/02/2018 - 21:42

      Pretty sure it can't. It has a cycling mode, but I think that just affects the display during the activity, and tells it to use GPS (as opposed to e.g. treadmill).

  • EspressoDan on 16/02/2018 - 21:34

    I have one, as does my daughter.

    I'm delighted with it in all regards. GPS is internal (no phone required) and very accurate in the country. Not so good in 'urban canyon' but none are.

    Battery life is excellent, easily a week between charges.

    Only slight negative is that tracks can't be exported for import to strava and there is no integration.

    • Ttam on 17/02/2018 - 01:16

      I think some of the apps I've mentioned above will allow you to do this, but I haven't tried it. Out of the box, no, it won't let you.

    • BlackorRed on 17/02/2018 - 08:17

      yes, you can, as Ttam mentioned above, use Notify&Fitness app that allow you to skip tracks in Spotify

  • Mellows on 16/02/2018 - 22:52

    Can anyone tell me if it has "constant" heart rate monitoring?

    Also, can you just flick your wrist up to bring the display on, or is it always on?

    Thanks in advance.

    • marcozmitch on 16/02/2018 - 23:18

      Always on: like an LCD display of yester-year.

      • Mellows on 16/02/2018 - 23:56

        Cheers - and the heart rate monitoring?

        • Ttam on 17/02/2018 - 01:18

          You can set in the app how often it monitors heart rate. I have mine set to every half an hour, but it seems to check more frequently than that, and I get a plot of heart rate through the day available in the app. You can set it to as frequent as one minute.

          EDIT: The display is always on, but the backlight can be set to come on when you lift your wrist. I have mine set so backlight only comes on when I lift my wrist 7.00 - 22.00, so it doesn't keep lighting up the bedroom. The screen is perfectly legible without backlight though (in some cases, backlight makes it harder to read), and is easiest to read in direct sunlight.

        • sween64 on 17/02/2018 - 06:47

          @Ttam: The backlight lighting up the bedroom whilst sleeping was a big downside of my Pebble. I'm glad there's a solution for that.

    • aibargain on 17/02/2018 - 07:43

    Still waiting on my items from gearbest ordered 8th January - apparently in clearing in Sydney on 17 January and nothing there after just be cautious on shipping method.

    Mine was “Australia Registered Post” - gearbest are yet to tell me if this will be fulfilled by a 3rd party here or Australia Post. Logging a call with Australia Post they could not find anything - they said what is the HEMI part of your tracking.

    Though last item sent by gearbest said “Australia Post Registered Post” and it was tracked all the way through and fulfilled by Australia Post.

    Something dodgy going on- asked gearbest plenty of times for a please explain on who is fulfilling the parcel and NO response. Items was sent via China warehouse.

    Negging this deal to warn others on shipping!!!

    Thankfully I have credit card insurance and used PayPal

    Gearbest answer my questions!!!

      I’ve ordered heaps of stuff from Banggood and Gearbest. They’ve always arrived.

      My suggestion is to not think about a delivery date. This stuff arrives when it arrives. Anything from 2 weeks to 4 months. I like to try and forget about having bought something as quickly as possible. That way when it eventually turns up it’s like a surprise present that I happened to buy for myself. 😂

    Been wanting an Apple Watch for years but they are still too expensive for what they do to justify buying one in my opinion. Have ordered one. Haven't worn a watch regularly for years so will be interesting. Plus for $69.50 (I used registered shipping), it's great value in my opinion.
