Amazfit Bip 3 Pro In-Depth Review - The BEST GPS Running Watch Under $69?! Kind of...

Very helpful review. Thanks. May buy it although it is out of stock Romany places.

I get this for USD 23, in india.

Thanks for a wonderful review. I’m an avid mountain biker but don’t go all the time about once every 3 months and just wanted something to track it and keep up with the notifications on my phone. I don’t want or use it to answer phone calls or texts just see who’s calling or texting me which seems perfectly to me. I also didn’t want to subscribe to a service for a watch when I never used it that way with other smart watches. This seems to fit everything I want in a watch.

Best Review of Amazfit Bip 3 Pro. Thank You!

just getting started running long(er) distance and really appreciate your video. I am still working up to my first half marathon so I am not as serious as yourself, but that makes your research perfect for a person like me. Thanks very much!

Very good balanced review. I just bought one of these to track a weekly run. So far it seems exectly what I wanted although I have found some setting difficult to work out. Eg pace alerts setting to miles is not obvious (to me). The quality of the build seems better than expected for the price.

I bought this same watch today. And you are right for what it is at this price point it does not disappoint at all. tomorrow I'm going to test it out and see.

I enjoyed your review of the Amazfit Bio 3 Pro. I may have missed your talking about the recording of one's steps. I have found this watch to record about HALF the number of steps that are recorded with my Fitbit watch. I wore both the watches and compared the results after several hours. Fitbit's number was in the 8000's while the Amazfit was in the 4000's. That's terrible, as is the inaccurate heart rate info. Those are big deals for most people, in my opinion.

Only $40 now on Amazon. I've been using a bip with GPS for 4 years now. I run, bike, and skate...no skate option so I use bike😂. I tracks just fine for the non professional workout bumb. Good review👍🏾. Oh, mine has the always on display and still gets decent battery life, wish they hadn't changed that on the new version.

Does this watch need a subscription with it. ?

I’ve heard it don’t work with iPhone?

I am getting one.

Como puedo cambiar el horario. Gracias..

Thank a lot this vid was very helpful... I think I am definitely going to buy this watch

Hi Dave, thanks for the insightful video!. If the GPS isn't very accurate on the Bip 3 Pro, would it be better to use the regular Bip 3 and use my smartphone (iPhone 12) GPS for better accuracy? I'm asking because I'm only looking to have a watch that can give me my running pace in a convenient way. I do plan on running with my phone at all times.

I really appreciate you put the watch through the paces and giving a thorough comparison to watches more than 10x the price. You gave realistic expectations for the money and if it's worth the cost. I'm not a runner. I don't really care about GPS, or heart rate. The features that attract me are basically not having to carry my cell phone all the time. I like the watch, being able to tell time, helping me meet the schedule of my day, some of the other features that give remote access to my cell phone, like shutter control, call rejection, notifications, etc. As a sports watch it will track my steps. Everything else is gravy. You made it clear this is a great bargain for me. Thanks.

Is the active calorie tracker reliable?

Okay I’m getting back into running 🏃- I was a cc runner before I spent my 20s learning new trades- so my love for the trails and adventure faded away..
always stayed relatively athletic tho with the type of work I was doing over the years..

Just pick up one of these watches this year and I like the app feature..

There is so much health /track / monitoring that I need to learn about——-

Im into extreme sports anything pretty much

Anyone using the sleep monitoring functions?

Wife got me the bip 3 pro last Christmas(Dec '22). I work nights, which means I sleep during the day. When it records any sleep at all, it will record it as "naps" since it's during the day, and will regularly record me sitting at my desk working as taking a nap. Can't say it's very accurate.

The battery life is exceptional. It loses ~5% per day, which means I can go a solid 2 weeks without thinking about charging. This is a double edged sword, because that's just enough time for me to forget I actually have to charge the thing. Thankfully it charges most if not all the way while I'm getting ready for work.

It will occasionally have issues connecting and I have to kill the Zep app, restart the watch and sometimes just flat out restart my phone(Pixel) to get it to connect.

If it's been over an hour or two since I last opened the app to resync it won't have any weather data. Which makes having weather on the watch utterly USELESS since I have to pull out my phone any fucking way.

It's also hit or miss on turning on by turning my wrist. It works for me about out of 10 times unless I get lucky.

All in all, you get what you pay for, and you don't get what you don't pay for. The nothing watch looks promising, but it's a 1st gen. We'll see how their 2nd gen looks.

In sports mode. I want to know if there is a Tennis workout? TIA

Awesome watch, I like it BUT why wouldn't they put a swimming option for workout? Who swims in open water, srly? They put badmington but not swimming laps at the gym, the gps marked double my indoor laps distance BUT no strokes at all LOL I think I'm gonna return it unless I find a way for lap distance like I had on the amazband 5

Awesome review! I was just wondering. If I had the regular Bip 3, would I need to activate my Strava app as I start my run? Or would Strava track my location as I press Start on the watch? TIA!

Can you see the text ,???? Cause I have a newrunsa and you cant see the text and can not adjust it

Got one of the 3 Pro as a gift. Your video was a life saver as it came with a minimalist manual that only told how to charge it. Gave no instructions as to whether to peel off the plastic protective cover on the screen or not. I say yes, my wife says "No its there to keep it from breaking." But i cant read it thru the plastic. Your video at least told me how to turn it on and how long the battery took to charge....which should have been in the instruction manual (print so small I couldnt read it) Thank you for at least telling me what it can do.

As a reviewer, you should really mention the model name, the Bib 3 Pro, otherwise how are we supposed to know what model it is? Thanks, food for thought for your next video.

69💀💀

Thank you for this!!

*Pro version: If I have a stopwatch or countdown timer running I can't access any other screen or function. Even old school watches can do that - seriously, what is up.

*Needing to pay for most additional watch faces is insulting and the free ones are terrible.

*The user interface \ settings menus on the watch and smartphone app are incredibly unintuitive and I'm a nerd (I love complex systems).

Your review is otherwise fantastic, thank you for doing what you do!

I can't get the music control to connect to my phone app...any asist?

does the screen turn on tapping it

👍

Great video. I just ordered one. Just to confirm, it does not have a basic compass? I figured if it had GPS capability it would have a basic compass.

Great review bro💪💯❤

Do i have to synch this to my phone ? Can i just use it on its own?

Thanks for this review. My old school digital Timex watch (with Indiglo!) broke in Feb (well the strap broke.) Saw this for just $7 more than a replacement for the Timex and the new school year is starting so I benefit from a watch while teaching. I'm starting a fitness push right now too. So I went for it and I'll update here after I've used it a few weeks.

Thanks for the review. I've already got one & I'd say you're pretty much on the button. I do a fair bit of open water swimming & it's a bit variable as to whether it records it or not.

hope you placed high in the ultra marathon

It says GPS but mine is not recording altitude which is why I bought it! I live in the mountains and want to see my change of altitude while I hike!? Very odd?! Tried to find info on their website and not luck!?

How did you get the VO2 max feature to work with this watch, mine has no data, I thought maybe this watch is not supported!

I just bought Bip 3 pro I bought it because I couldn’t afford the Apple Watch plus I had Fitbit which went by the way side . So far I luv it .

He sounds like 69 dollars is no money
..and for those who don't run at all?

Could you progress and record in Strava without your phone near by?
By the way, i'm new in the world of the sportwatches, it record the top speed of a run?

Can I connect this watch to Strava?

Do these check glucose reading?😊

New watch and I can't turn it on.i did not have a charger 😢

Just thought I mention that for females it has a menstrual cycle tracker that is also useful. I got one recently, I'm not an seriously active person, i use it for recreational activities and also for step tracking etc. and phone accessibility as my phone is mostly in my backpack. Great watch if you are not a fitness maniac 😜and just want general readings and health tracking.

Thanks for the review. Bought this watch ,yet to test it, but got confused initially because there was no user manual. Thanks to your video, could actually figure out how to use the workout modes😅

This is a year old, but the bip pro is now on sale for $59.99.

Is it worth 22 euros??
