   Aside from the insanely cheap price tag for what this thing is capable of doing, the main reason I bought the Amazefit Band 5 was for the stress tracking levels since most brands don’t include that feature yet. Apparently many trackers can tell you when you’re stressed, but they can’t give you stress LEVEL readings (i.e. a numbered stress reading between 1-100).

   I guess there’s a good reason why, though. It’s simply not accurate, and I’m guessing most brands are holding off on including it until the technology is far enough along to make it more accurate (i.e. until it’s not just a gimmick).

   I have Ulcerative Colitis, and if you look at my daily stress level reports on days where I feel great vs days I’m suffering through a full blown attack throughout the entire day, you can’t spot the difference.

   It’s also worth noting that while it does continuous readings throughout the day, most of those readings are attempted failures since you have to be still and have the band on tight enough for it to be able to get a reading. Example: the other day I had a 6 hour gap between automatic readings. And most of the time I can’t even get it to do a manual reading.

   So what you end up with is an inaccurate metric that can’t even be recorded for large chunks of the day. So in that sense, I’m profoundly disappointed since that (in addition to the low price) was the reason I bought the Amaze Band 5 instead of leveling up to a $100 Garmin or Fitbit.

   Another (potential) qualm I have is the caloric expenditure tracking. I could be wrong, but I feel like it’s too generous telling me how many calories I’ve burned during a “Freestyle” or “Walking” workout session.

   Okay, so all of that was the bad. The good, though? Everything else seems to work fantastically and exceeded my expectations.

   – Battery is amazing, even if you turn on all of the options that drain the battery faster.

   – Sleep tracking seems like it’s pretty darn accurate. The only thing I’ve noticed is that sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night and am deep in thought for awhile before I can fall back asleep, my sleep report will note that I initially woke up for a few minutes, but then it will think I fell back asleep shortly after since I’m not moving around despite being awake. But it’s hard to knock that too much since I’m not sure if ANY tracker would be able to tell the difference when the person is pretty motionless before eventually falling back asleep.

   – The app is great. Lots of things to track and options for customization. And while it’s kind of easy to get lost trying to look for certain options, the overall design and ease of use is fantastic. That said, I can’t figure out how to make it stop using military time. Unless I’m missing something here, there’s no option to change it…and that’s pretty annoying.

   – I’ve had zero problems with any sort of lag using the touch screen…which was the main thing that annoyed me back when I had the Generation 1 Apple Watch.

   **Final summary**: I may be more easily impressed since the last smartwatch/fitness tracker I owned was the Generation 1 Apple Watch (which is a dinosaur at this point)…but I’m legitimately blown away with what you’re getting for a price tag south of $40. If you’re looking for the ultimate budget fitness tracker, I don’t see how the Amazefit 5 Band can be beat. Just don’t buy it solely for stress level tracking like I did…because it simply doesn’t work.

   I started a new job that required me to be on my feet all day, move around a lot, and wash my hands constantly. It was important to me to have a waterproof watch so I could time certain aspects of my job. I wanted a cheap waterproof watch, and after trying two different 20 dollar watches from The Mart of Wal that both lasted less than a week, I decided to purchase this. I didn’t care about tracking anything, I just wanted something cheap but durable that could handle being roughed up and exposed to water that would still tell the time.

   This thing is amazing for that purpose, but I wouldn’t want to rely on it to accurately track biometrics.

   I’ve knocked my hand/wrist/arm into walls, pipes, sinks, toilets, desks, doorways hard enough on multiple occasions to wince and be convinced I accidentally cracked the screen. The screen is still flawless, and I didn’t put any sort of protector on it. I’ve washed my hands enough to turn them red, submerged this watch, wiped it with lysol orisopropyl alcohol to disinfect it, accidentally slathered it in lotion, and it’s come clean and still works perfectly every time. In fact, after a few months of use, it looks just the same as the day I bought it.

   11/10 for durability.

   However, sometimes this thing misreads. One time I had it sitting in the pouch on the front of my lunchbox at work for a few hours, and it decided my heart rate was 40 BPM during those hours despite me not even being in the same room. (Unless my lunchbox has come to life?) Sometimes the device decides my heartrate is 120 while I’m sitting down, or 50 while I’m on my feet, and when I check my pulse with a blood pressure cuff I have in the house, it is most definitely normal. Overall the baseline pulse seems somewhat accurate, it just spikes and falls once or twice a day seemingly at random. The blood oxygen sensor seems to be bamboozled if I’m sweaty or have just washed my hands. One time I was sitting watching TV, and when I got up the watch decided that during the time I was watching TV I was actually asleep and it cheerfully informed me of my ‘nap’ biometrics.

   The one set of readings that seems pretty accurate is the step counter / pedometer. It wasn’t a feature I was looking for but now that I have it I like to wear it even when I don’t need a watch (mowing the lawn, etc) just to see how many steps I’m putting it.

   If you have a health condition that requires accurate information, or are serious about tracking, look elsewhere. If you want the world’s most durable waterproof watch, this is it. If you’re curious but not serious to see your pulse or other readings, and don’t need them to be medically accurate, this is probably a good place to start with a basic tracker.

   The custom backgrounds are a nice perk, but I like having my pedometer information and the current weather displayed on the face, and none of the custom watch face templates have that so I’ve stuck with the default one. Customize-ability in this is basic but still way more than I was expecting since I bought this just looking for a cheap watch.

   It’s also been EXTEREMELY comfortable to wear. I hate having jewelry on me, won’t even wear my wedding ring because I hate the feel of something on my skin like that, but this doesn’t bother me unless I’m particularly sweaty.

   Highly recommend, unless you’re looking for accuracy.

   Tengo ya 2-3 meses usándolo y no me ha fallado, la conexión con el celular es buena y me sirve mucho en el tema de mi ejercicio. Es bueno ya que recibes notificación de las aplicaciones aunque se ven un poco pequeñas por lo mismo del tamaño de la pantalla, pero en general muy bien. La pila le dura mucho.

   This fitness tracker is easy to use and has many options for tracking activity. I use the GPS tracking for walking/hiking, riding my bicycle, and doing step aerobics. The one drawback is that it does not have an option for pickleball or tennis, both popular sports. It will track my heart rate when I play but it’s not specific for that activity. Also, I’m not totally sold on the accuracy of the sleep monitoring, but it does provide some feedback that I’ve found useful. (It says I had a good night’s sleep when I don’t necessarily wake up feeling refreshed). It seems to be accurate for counting how many steps I take. I like that you can customize the watch face (I just found this out! Still discovering new things with this device). It can track your heart rate and oxygen saturation but not blood pressure. I find the PAI (Personal Activity Intelligence) useful – it gives updated information on how much you exercise in a week. It’s an easy-to-understand activity tracking metric that can help you manage your health. You can google PAI Amazfit for more information. As a Senior citizen pushing 70, I appreciate a device that has plenty of options, but not so many that I get overwhelmed.

   Produto chegou certinho, comprei no dia 30/12 a entrega estava pro dia 04/01 mas no dia 02/12 já estava a caminho e chegou.
   Não é mto completo nas questões de medição do oxigênio do sangue, porém é apenas um relógio. Para mulheres ele possui um monitoramento de ciclo e colocando os dados certinho ele consegue monitorar direitinho o ciclo menstrual e todas as fases.
