► Amazfit Balance*: amzn.to/3RHwTl2
________________________________________________________________________
For me as an athlete, the Amazfit Balance sounds almost too good to be true: It has a 1.5 inch AMOLED display, route navigation, multiband GPS and tons of training features... All for just $229! So where is the catch? Can this watch really live up to its high expectations? During the last couple of weeks, I put the watch through its paces. In this Sports & Fitness focused review, I will tell you about all of the pros and cons of the Amazfit Balance. Have fun 😉

Super Review, vielen Dank! Toll wäre es, ein Update zum Review zu geben, jetzt, wo Zepp OS 3.5 erschienen ist und die Smartwatch noch genauer sein soll und viele neue Features haben soll. Vielleicht hat sich auch punkto GPS-Genauigkeit etwas getan. Auf jeden Fall sollen nun auch Offline-Maps möglich sein damit.

@JLM65 5 месяцев назад

Congratulations on the article!!! Making a comparison with the Amazfit Cheetah Pro which is better. Especially for sports use, considering the GPS and the PPG biometric sensor?

@simdencard 5 месяцев назад

The Amazfit Balance has better features and better heart rate tracking, with good enough GPS. I'd advise you to go with Amazfit Balance.

Thanks for the review .my watch has very low volume during calls .I don't know maybe it's only on my watch.what is your experience during calls ?🙂

@Marcin-gr8ni 4 месяца назад

This is extremely good watch. Have been using it for like week and still surprised with more and more possibilities, settings, endless customisation and overall experience. I do hope for good durability too as I already love this watch and want to use it for long time!

Hi, Could you explain how bluetooth calls work when the user has the headphones connected (with the phone or with the watch)? Why the software does not transfer the audio of the phone call to the headphones but that goes to the watch speaker? thanks

Amazing review, thank you! Just one question: In your opinion between amazfit balance and Huawei watch gt 4 (same price) which one is the better? Look may be the gt 4, but for the daily use I think the balance... I 'm right? :)

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much! Very sorry for the late reply, I just found your comment now. Mh, yeah, I would say both watches are great choices, but I would prefer the Amazfit Balance. I really think it's an insane choice for its money.

@darkgrip21 6 месяцев назад

I would like to get your opinion. Amazfit Balance or Garmin Venu 3 is recommended for daily use smartwatch? With good looks and nice function. Also use for monitor basic health feature and moderate sport activity.

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 6 месяцев назад

Mh, hard to say. They are both very good choices. I would probably go for the Venu 3, but that’s because I am very used to the Garmin interface. But the Amazfit Balance is cheaper and very good for the purposes you described as well!

As an ex-owner of the GTR3 Pro, I can say that the temprered glass of the display held well in the 18 months it was on my wrist, even whilst gardening, with not a single scratch even under a magnifying glass. Unfortunately, that didn't stop the display from gradually becoming completely unresponsive and eratic to touch inputs, One of the issues with Amazfit's sensors is that they cannot keep up with sudden and rapid spikes of the actual HR, such as in cycling, and they may dive to as low as 49bpm, even when riding on an uphill (an actual reading I was getting) . Outdoor running is good in testing the accuracy but not particularly challenging to their sensors and algorithms. You're a cool reviewer with a relaxed poise. You look promising. I'll keep an eye on you 😉

@brucelin5842 4 месяца назад

But will balance improve the accuracy?

@menifo4334 4 месяца назад

Accuracy has been improved on Balance but it is still weak in tracking sudden and rapid changes of the pulse. Depends on which sports you engage in. It provides an abundance of metrics but when compared to Garmin they tend to be off by a significant margin. I aslo know from experience. @@brucelin5842

@chriscarpunky 2 месяца назад

Yeah but the cool thing is the Amazefit Balance pairs with external heart sensors. I pair mine with the Coros Armstrap.

I’m also thinking between the 2, which one would u choose?

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 4 месяца назад

Hi there, in terms of sports features, I would definitely choose the Garmin Forerunner 165. In terms of looks and just day-to-day features, I would probably give it to the Amazfit Balance. Hope this helps!

@@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx does 165 look bad compared to the balance?

Hallo! Vielen Dank für das großartige Video! Ich habe eine Frage: Gibt es bei der Genauigkeit der Gesundheitsüberwachung einen großen Unterschied zwischen dieser Uhr und der Garmin Venu 3? Ich habe kürzlich mit Joggen und Radfahren angefangen. Reicht diese Uhr dafür aus? Da dies meine erste Smartwatch ist, fällt mir die Entscheidung sehr schwer. Könnten Sie mir bitte weiterhelfen?

Would u recommend this or Garmin 165 or vivoactive 5

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 3 месяца назад

Hey there! For sports and training purposes, I would recommend the Forerunner 165. the Vivoactive 5 shines as a daily driver with many features, sleep coaching etc. The Amazfit is (as the name suggests) a good balance between both worlds. I hope this helps. Best regards

@simdencard 6 месяцев назад

You mentioned you did many sports during the day, and the training readiness was still in the 90s. The training readiness doesn't change unless you sleep and don't adjust throughout the day like Garmins Body battery, for example.

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx 6 месяцев назад

Ah yeah you are right, thanks 😊

@simdencard 5 месяцев назад

@GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx No pun intended. I like the watch a lot and have been using it since I got it in November 2023. For the price, it's hard to beat.

@brucelin5842 3 месяца назад

So the readiness score doesn’t take ur daily activities into account ? It doesn’t change even if u had a hard workout ?! That’s pretty useless then….

It's pretty hard to determine without trying to scratch it but overall build quality is excellent and feels rather premium. There must be kind of balance between metal and plastic otherwise the watch wouldn't be so light.

Warning - this watch at max setting will only measure your heart rate once per minute...less than 2% of the time. That is how it gets such a long battery life.

@brucelin5842 3 месяца назад

Once per minute even during exercise ? So it’s not continuous monitoring then ?!
