Professional reviewers commend the Bip series for its impressive battery longevity, comfortable design and functional GPS, noting that it delivers a solid mix of features at a low price. However, they criticize the heart-rate sensor's inaccuracy, the simplistic UI and the relatively slow GPS lock, which keep it from competing with higher-end models.
Everyday users consistently praise the watch's long battery life, comfort and large readable screen, often calling it a great value for casual fitness and swimming. Recurring complaints focus on heart-rate inaccuracies, occasional step-count errors, strap wear and the occasional delay in GPS acquisition.
“Bang on GPS accuracy for runs”
“Insanely good 2-month battery with GPS/HR”
“Good smartwatch experience... nice mix of features, design and battery life”
Professional reviewers commend the Amazfit Active for its exceptional value at around $99, offering a large AMOLED screen, extensive sport modes, AI health coaching, and a standout 14-day battery. However, they point out the lack of premium sensors like an altimeter, a less refined rectangular look, and unspecified brightness that may lag behind the Active 2's 2,000-nit display.
Everyday users overwhelmingly appreciate the long battery life, feather-light weight, vivid display, and reliable fitness tracking, especially GPS and heart-rate monitoring. Recurring complaints focus on occasional Bluetooth drops, occasional GPS inaccuracies in dense areas, strap comfort for larger wrists, and the absence of NFC and broader third-party app support.
