Amazfit Neo

Nice try, Casio. However the Amazfit Neo does the same, and more features (like heart rate and sleep measuring) for a similar price. I like mine quite a lot.

I love my Amazfit Neo, if that's what you want.

This sounded to me like a device I might want, but the price is offputting to me. $150 is not cheap device. It's nearly 10x the used price of the smartwatch I wearing right now. The CEO did a Reddit AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/1jea5cc/ama_with_er... I am surprised by his comment there: « Honestly 5 years seems pretty good for a $150 consumer gadget. » So, its creator feels that a $150 watch is cheap. Huh. That is interesting. I never owned a Pebble, but I’ve had 3 smartwatches in the last 8 years: an original Amazfit Bip which I liked a lot. It lasted 5 years, its battery life was 6 weeks when new and 4 weeks when old, it was always-on and daylight-readable, and it was about $70. https://www.cnet.com/reviews/amazfit-bip-review/ When it finally died, I replaced it with a Bip 5 last year. I didn’t like it – screen is wake-on-demand, it wasn’t sensitive enough to a wrist-flip to wake it so I had to press a button, and the battery life was down to 10 days. Higher-res screen, more colours, but no additional useful functionality to me. It cost about $80. https://www.amazfit.com/products/amazfit-bip-5 So I sold it on for about $45, over half what I paid, and bought a used Amazfit Neo. It looks like a real watch, it was £15 used – about $20 – and it’s always-on, battery life in weeks, very visible, has a backlight, and does the essentials. https://www.gsmarena.com/amazfit_neo_review-news-45962.php So I’ve had three watches now and the total price of all 3 pu…

I bought an Amazfit Neo awhile back for a cheap heart monitor. This is a smartwatch clone of the gshock with a much better value ($30?) and battery life (a month). I then got the real G-Shock gm-5610u for a daily watch and love it. I think Casio does great with non-smartwatch but I don't know who the submission's watch is for other than a collector. It can run for a day and a half on a charge at that price point? Go buy a Garmin.

I got an Amazfit Neo for $30 or so, it's been amazing. Lasts for a month on a charge and has fitness bits.

The Amazfit Neo serves well as a rough estimate for heart rate and give good value for just $30 (currently even just 10€ it seems). But if you e.g. enable the detailed heart rate and sleep measurement the battery life is not more than a week and the quality of the measurement cannot be fully trusted & bigger latency (plus in the app the resolution of heart values is just one value per 5 minute). So it is not that good quality ... still worth the money.
