REVIEW: Amazfit Balance smartwatch has a battery that lasts weeks 533if

If you love technology, you've probably heard of Amazfit, brand of accessories such as headphones, scales and smart watches; O Amazfit Balance It is one of the products that integrates the company's portfolio. We tested the device that has a surprising battery, measure blood pressure and it even has Alexa. Below I tell you the main details. 1vlz

Design 145g70

Here we have the already established, elegant and classic design of conventional watches. It is available in 4 colors in the special edition: Forest (dark brown), Lagoon (water green), Meadow (moss green) and Deep Sea Blue (self-explanatory name).

When you take it out of the box you already notice that it is a very light watch, it is only 35 grams and you will barely feel it on your wrist. It is made of aluminum alloy and the bottom is made of fiber-reinforced polymer to give it more resistance. There are 2 buttons, one of which is the crown that allows you to control the watch in a similar way to what we see on products from Apple .

On the top, protecting the screen, we have an anti-reflective tempered glass with an anti-fingerprint coating that works very well. The bracelet that came to us is made of fabric and the lock is made with 4 velcro strips. It's very easy to change if you want to replace it.

Fabric 3c653a

It is a 1,5-inch AMOLED HD screen with a resolution of 480×480. The maximum brightness is 1.500 nits, sufficient even in bright outdoor environments, as you will be able to see what is on the screen that occupies almost 74% of the front of the watch. The anti-reflective glass with anti-fingerprint coating helps a lot in keeping the screen clean and free of fingerprints, something that doesn't happen on other watches.

There are several types of dials and you can others from the store. Those who like to have a lot of information on the screen, or those who prefer something cleaner, just with the time and battery, will be very satisfied, as there is no shortage of options.

Resources and performance f325o

It's a watch with Alexa, physical activity tracking, sleep and heart rate monitoring and several other features that are common in watches today. There is a store where you can other apps if you want.

Synchronization is done through the Zepp app, available for Android and iOS. It has an integrated microphone and speaker, so you can answer calls without having to take your phone out of your pocket. There are 2.2 GB of internal storage for you to install applications.

Dual-band GPS and route navigation uses 6 satellite positioning systems to track your physical activities and generates a very accurate map at the end.

Alexa 502v2r

I've always wanted to test a wearable device with Alexa to see what it's like. In addition to Echo devices, those that you plug into a socket, Alexa is now present on TVs and in glasses, headphones and watches. But how does it work?

It is not voice-activated, as we are used to. Here on the Amazfit Balance it can be accessed by pressing the crown or tapping the Alexa app.

It's the same assistant that we know from other devices and does the same things. Among the biggest practicalities of having Alexa on a watch, I think you can mention creating alarms and reminders, as well as adding items to the shopping list.

Apps 15250

What would a smart watch be without apps, right? Despite not having the entire store available for Android Wear (since the system here is Zepp OS), there are several very useful applications.

You have the basic things like making calls, controlling music, timer and other things, but it is possible to use Zepp Pagar for less payments, you just need to check if your card is compatible.

Within the applications already installed, we have:

• Find phone;
• World Clock;
• Task list;
• Voice recorder;
• Pomodoro Timer;
• Meditation;
• Alarm, stopwatch and countdown;
• Calendar;
• Training history;
• Com;
• barometric altimeter;
• Menstrual History;
• Breathing;
• Thermometer;
• Stress;
• Time;
• Music player;
• Body composition;
• Heart rate.

I confess that I missed other applications that I use a lot on my other smartwatch, such as Shazam, for example.

System – Zepp OS 3.0 wl32

A Amazfit informs that there are more than 150 applications available for , including, it is compatible with other training devices, with Android from version 7.0 and iOS 14.0 or higher.

Like any device in 2024, when you turn it on you are asked to update your with , a good indication that the company is updating the Amazfit Balance. It's a very clean system, it runs well and during my use it didn't show any crashes.

You can view it in a grid, like on Watch OS, or in a list, like on Android Wear; Zepp gives you the option to customize the view of applications according to what you prefer.

health monitoring 5d2o6

One of the main functions of smart watches, in addition to reading notifications, are health-related features. Fortunately, Balance has several functions for those who want to have regular physical activities, in addition to the possibility of measuring blood pressure, ideal for those with cardiovascular problems or high blood pressure. At the Instagram of Amazfit Brazil They teach you how the whole process is done.

We can highlight some of the things that the Amazfit Balance does that are very interesting:

• Analysis of mental and physical readiness;
• Measurement of body composition;
• AI chat sleep and fitness coaching;
• ZeppPersonalized Training Coach™;
• Number of calories lost per day;
• Stress and blood oxygen levels;
• More than 150 sports modes;
• Create training models.

Blood oxygen saturation, heart rate and stress level are monitored 24 hours a day using the 5th generation BioTracker™ PPG dual optical sensor.

I really liked that, when starting a walk, it shows the speed, something I haven't seen on other devices in the company. Apple e Samsung. This smartwatch has EverSense artificial intelligence technology that automatically detects 8 popular exercise modes.

A very useful feature present here is body composition measurement. By touching your fingers to the crown and physical button, you can measure body fat percentage, muscle mass, and upper body hydration.

One of the things I didn't like here is that it doesn't automatically detect when you've finished a walk, so if you don't end it after starting it, it will keep counting. I forgot several times and even though I sat still, it didn't end. This is a suggestion for improvement. Another thing that bothers you is when you finish the walk the clock spends at least 10 seconds talking about the metrics, I didn't see how to disable this.

Measuring blood oxygenation is also not that easy, you will need to try several times to get it right. It's something that happens on other Samsung devices, for example. Among the watches I tested this function, the one that performed best was the Apple Watch Ultra 2 (which we also have a review of).

Battery 554u5p

It is by far one of the best attributes of this smartwatch! I've had it for at least 3 weeks and in that time I've only needed to recharge it once. It now has 15% battery and the last time I recharged it was 10 days ago.

Below is the official battery life information that can last for up to 50 days in watch mode (without smart functions):

typical use	up to 14 days
Battery saving mode	up to 25 days
Battery life in watch mode	up to 50 days
Heavy usage scenario Battery life	up to 7 days
AOD Mode	up to 5 days
Precision GPS mode	Up to 26 hours
Automatic GPS mode	Up to 47 hours
Power saving GPS mode	Up to 52 hours

It's great to be able to wear the watch for more than a week without worrying about having to take it off your wrist every day to recharge it. I have a Galaxy Watch 4 and every day I need to charge it.

Zepp A Health 2s6n2c

To help maintain balance in nature, Zepp Health has partnered with One Tree Planted, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to make it simple for anyone to help the environment by planting trees.

For every sale of the special edition color Amazfit Equilibre, Zepp A Health will donate US$2 to One Tree Planted's urban forestry projects in Europe, with trees being planted by local partner organizations and community volunteers in areas where deforestation has occurred. .

Price and conclusion 4o2xx

It's a very complete watch, with good construction and very useful features and that comes at a price. Currently missing from Amazon, its price is R$ 1.649,00. It is a device with many useful and differentiating features, such as the possibility of measuring blood pressure, which gives this smart watch an advantage, especially for those who need to constantly measure it.
