In this video, I will review Amazfit Band 7, another fitness smartwatch from Amazfit, a company that is creating some really awesome smartwatches that I also reviewed in the past. Amazfit Band 7 is the second watch in their Amazfit Band collection. This watch has a lot to offer when it comes to tracking your fitness activity and health, so let's dive in and take a close look at this smartwatch.

So glad I bought this! I'm a girl who plays sports so it's nice to see my heart rate and other activities but I also have a heart murmur which this is probably gonna be great for tracking that. I also have a menstrual cycle so this will be useful for that reason. Sleep tracking too! This seems great.
Thank for the great review! This was super helpful. Oh, and I love your shirt! 🤣 Where did you get it, if I may ask?
Good review. Updated from the amazfit band 5 to this.... can't seem to find any replacement straps in the UK. Any ideas on where to get these .
Sweet review!! thanks so much!!
Thank you! I have searched videos of this band before and this one is one of the first that really help me.
I'm glad I could help!
Awesome value for money, Amazfit 5 and 7 are also awesome for a VIBRATION ALARM while on your wrist five minutes before any other sound alarm, which reduces the stress… because waking up to any noise (even if it’s a song on your smartphone) is wack
Amzefit 7 vs vivosmart 4 vs honor magic watch 2
.what would you recommend?
Frr
Just got a band 5, which is great
Re the clasp - pop out the tracker and turn it 180 degrees, the closing clasp will then be on the inside of your wrist, offering protection from catching on doors etc
Not a bad idea. Thank you for that!
@@FitnessWithFrost You're welcome my friend. It definitely works.
And it's goodnight from me, at 00.40 in the early hours of Tuesday, here in Bristol, south western England 👍
What are you doing up so late? Get some sleep
Hi. I am looking to buy one of these Amazfit watches/bands. I am looking specifically at the "Event Reminder" function as I want to set up recurring reminders over the day (once per hour or so). After appropriate app setup (and connected to Bluetooth or wifi/alexa for that) can the Event Reminder show in full on the band/watch display even when I am not connected to the phone as I won't have the phone with me for most of the day, hence the reminder needs to be recorded within and shown on the watch, and have some level of independence from the phone once set up. Thanks in advance for your help.
glad that you made a video reviewing this model. I want to ask if the step/distance trackers require you to connect to your phone's gps or not
They don't require you to connect unless your are looking for a more accurate distance on your run or bike. Steps will always be counted. Hopefully that is helpful
What is the name of the watch face/s that you’re able to edit and upload your own photo as you mentioned?
I know its a budget watch but my concern is how accurate are the sensors ? Are the data any good
Does it have a do not disturb function? I don't want it to turn on while sleeping like some bands do. It makes it hard to sleep with a bright light constantly turning on.
I am enjoying using the Amazfit Band 7, but I have an issue with it that I would with any of the fit bands. The feedback on workout intensity is related to one's age, so it labels some of my cardio workouts as excessive when they really aren't at all. I'm extremely fit. What is "aerobic" for me is not what is "aerobic" for the average 60 year old. I'd love to be able to change my band age to 45 or younger in order get more accurate readings regarding exertion, etc. Could you tell me how to do that? I'd also love it if you made a video giving advice fitness bands to slightly older fitness fanatics like me. I love your videos. Thank you!
Interesting, thanks for your input.
Let’s box no head protection and see how fit you are
QFA - _does the screen wake up with 1 tap or 2 or press and hold?_ I just got rid of a Redmi band pro because the screen was so sensitive, started recording stuff when it touched my sleeve or in the shower etc and waking me up at night, terrible thing. I'm hoping this doesn't do that, I'd much prefer to have the Zepp app in my life than that Mi app too.
Will an old Fitbit band work as a replacement band? Thank you
my amazfit band has problems to even track steps (main reason I bought it). is there some kind of setup before it starts working?
Good review. I currently have the Amazfit Band 5 and am considering this or the Xiaomi Smart Band 7 Pro, when the global version is released. Will you be reviewing the latter? It has a slightly bigger screen, built-in GPS, ambient light sensor, and a traditional strap, although it will be more expensive. The main thing for me is the accuracy of the data. I like the idea of being able to put mini apps on the Amazfit Band 7, although I don’t think there’s much available at the moment.
I've had the 7 Pro for a while now so I've been waiting for the update on the app so I can review it. It does have a better build, but hopefully I'll have a review in the next week or 2
@@FitnessWithFrost I look forward to it. A comparison video might be good for views, after the initial review.
That's definitely the plan. That video would have been out by now, but it just seems they are waiting on an update to bring it to the US market
Does it wake you up in your most light sleep cycle like the fitbit inspire 3 so you dont interrupt the cycles? And also what is the watch or band you have in your right hand? And what band is that
Does this band have simplified Chinese in the preferences settings?
Your side by side comparison of the heart rate tracking is a little concerning to me. The average heart rate for the whoop is 125, but its 144 avg for the the Amazfit. A 20 beat gap is kinda weird right? It would nake me think the Amazfit tends to read high. Please let me know if others notice a difference compared to their previous watches. Thank you!
Hello Frost!
Love your reviews and the details you put into making them as simple as possible. However, can you help me with my purchase decision between xiaomi band 7, huawei band 7 and amazfit band 7?
I personally like the look of huawei more than the other two but amazfit looks like and overall better package to me. Still its pretty tight for me between the 3. Hoping for an honest suggestion!
Thanks.
Hey Masz! I'm glad you are looking my reviews. Amazfit is really growing in the space and I am trusting their products a little bit more than the Xiaomi and Huawei. They are all very similar but I trust Amazfit a bit more. Hopefully that's helpful.
Thank you Frost!
It does help a lot. I just needed a professional eye for the purchase decision. Will surely get it within a day or two.
I'm glad I could help. Good luck on your fitness journey
Please do not purchase HUAWEI it’s not reliable. My personal experience. Heart rate shows always above 130 which is not correct. 🙏
Does it have to touch your skin to record any of the data? I realy want a tracker but I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which is currently hanging out in my wrists and I have to wear compression bandages constantly to keep the pain down.
Really good review man ! Just wondering can this watch be used as an mp3. I’m wanting to leave my phone at home for runs and listen to music on the watch , possible with this ?
Sadly I do not believe it has any internal storage
Do you need a monthly subscription to be able to track your sleep and HR?
Where do you go to find the different activities?
Will it show incoming texts ? Thats something i really miss with my apple watch but i just cant bring myself to spend that much money on a new one which is why i got this one haha
The band clasp has worked fine for me. Hasn't come off yet. Great information. How can I set up for swimming?
What do you mean by set up for swimming?
For $50 you get a lot of features but are the sensors good quality or cheap Chinese junk? I will probably get this watch as Amazfit tells me it's the one that can contend with recording data during HIIT sessions. But I worry that the price means it is cheaply outfitted with things that are crucial to the reason for having the watch. So, tell me how this watch is doing after a year. Or how the Band 5 held up which might indicate the longevity of this watch. Many manufacturers load their watches with features that could be described as adding gew gaws or shiny objects to get someone to buy. But when they do it at the expense of cheapening the main elements, the sensors and the attendant software that processes the sensor signals, then they are doing no one any service. I'd like to see reviews that pay attention to these details and not get caught up in the shiny objects.
I just received my Amazfit band 7. I like the bigger screen. It is very light.
It really is very light
I am suscribed, it was a good review.
I'm glad I could help!
Hi, Frost..could you please tell if the AOD works for full-time? Or is it in restrictive mode for 20 mins only like Redmi Band? And how many watch faces are available in AOD mode? It's going on sale in India on 8th Nov and there's some early bird offer as well.. Thinking to buy it.. Would be very helpful if you could just reply as I'm buying for AOD only.
It seems to just be always on. I never saw any turn off after any amount of time. As far as how many faces work with it. I'm not sure, but all the ones I tested worked
Thank you for your response & 1 more thing that I forgot to ask is how long does it go in terms of battery with AOD on?
Takes about a day to a day and a half of battery life off
How good is Amazefit7 for tracking swimming, has anyone used it?
The bass in the end of your video scared the shit out of me lol
Lol I'm sorry. I've started to ease into that music now
What person fitness band are you wearing?
Спасибо за работу 👍
so in november 2023, amazfit band 7 or mi band 8 ?
Thanks for the review! Does anyone else have an issue with the screen keep asking to change watch face? Seems very sensitive to a long touch!
I didn't seem to have that issue, but I am curious if anyone else has
@@FitnessWithFrost any long press on watch face asks to delete or keep watch face. Maybe it’s a setting I have turned on?
@@FitnessWithFrost whilst I’m asking questions. I can’t get it to
Sync with an exercise bike searching for Bluetooth devices either. If anyone knows the answer…
I do not believe so. Try and contact Amazfit and see if they have anything to help you with
Thank you for the review Andy Roddick
Andy Roddick. I'll take that. I'm glad you enjoyed
Great video! Does this version of Amazfit offer things like heart rate zones or auto tracking for activities?
It does offer autotracking. Only for 4 sports modes though.
The guy clearly states that it has some ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY sports modes
@@OldManDave1960 Yes and I asked about AUTO TRACKING, which it only does for 4 of those 120 activities.
Thank you guys for helping with the responses. Sometimes some soup through without me seeing them
Any recommendations for aftermarket bands for this watch? I'm almost sold on this watch, as long as I can get a better band for it..
I still haven't found any solid spaces for that yet sadly
How's the stress tracking and calorie tracking?
I want to buy a fitness band particularly for these 2 features
If you're looking for good stress tracking I would probably push you to Fitbit because they do great with that type of stuff
@@FitnessWithFrost thanks 🙏
No problem I'm glad I could help
Hey nice video just want know that the straps gets opens easily
It opens relatively easily. Hopefully that's helpful
well done review... Do you know where I can get smaller length band for the wrist. My wife is about 130 mm.... the standard is 135 mm at the smallest. Also... For amazfit 5 or 7, if I am in the mids of a activity like cycling... I cannot see the time??? Or if I set the countdown timer, cannot see the time or date.... Is there a way to have the watchface up while these other things are in the background??
I still haven't found a place to find replacement bands yet. If you have any definitely let me know.
We far as your fitness tracking you will see the time of the workout and the time of day, but you cannot have it run in the background it will just run in the face. Hopefully that helps
Any luck within the last year in finding replacement bands? I like everything about this but I can't have it falling off. Thank you
Does it have GPS
What about the music control? I couldn't find how to use it. Already followed the Amazfit Band 7 user guide.
I've had the same question. So i messaged amazfit about it. Their reply was that it doesn't have music control.
@@Daxbernard then why does the website say it does 😐
I've been told that there is an update coming in that is going to unlock music control and words Alexa as well. I don't know when they update will be
Have this for a month. Crazy how ionly have to charge once a month if you dont turn on the screen every time.
Does it measures walking distance (other than steps walked) without turning on walking mode..?
It will give you an estimated distance overall with the amount of steps you took in a day. But it would be estimated
I am going to buy this smart band along with some earbuds it is so affordable! It barely will be over $100 usd.
Can the “always on” mode be changed? And if so, to what others?
Yes
Circuit training is not listed as sports mode, what should I use?
To be honest the modes aren't that big of a deal. Maybe just other workout
There is a differnt style band now that looks like it wont fall off on ebay. Strap for Amazfit Band 7 Nylon Breathable Replacement Straps for Amazfit Band 7
Can I export my health data (passively recorded heart rate, spo2 etc) on the Amazfit band 7 to Google Fit etc?
In Mi Band, I can't export PASSIVELY RECORDED heart rate data, which is extremely useful to establish a baseline for my historical data.
This might be useful 10-50 years down the line. I may no longer have the band, or even the app may no longer be supported. In such a case, would I lose access to all my historical data?
On the Mi band 4, there was an option to install Gadgetbridge on rooted phones, but that was a pain if one no longer has a rooted phone.
That's a solid question. I would probably reach out to the manufacturer for that
Which is better for exercising, is Amazfit Band 7 or Xiaomi Band 7
As far as heart rate tracking in concerned they are pretty close to identical. I would pick the Amazfit because of the bigger screen
@@FitnessWithFrost Are all the sports programs in Xiaomi Band 7 also available in Amazfit Band 7
Amazfit Band 7 vs band 5. What would you recommend?
I like the 7 a good amount. But if you need to save money the 5 will do you well
No GPS is disappointing to me. Anyways, overall is nice. And I like your style of reviewing. Keep it up pal!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you're looking to start around this price point and get GPS the Amazfit BIP 3 pro might not be a bad idea
Very thorough and informed. Thanks. I think I'ma buy it and just tape the clasp with a thin strip of duct tape.
I'm glad I could help. Good luck with your new band
Would you recommend this or going for the Fitbit charge 5 or wait for fitbit 6. I mainly need for HR and sleep tracking
The accuracy for both great l heart rate and sleep tracking is going to be much better for the charge 5. You would probably have to wait another 8 months until the 6 comes out sadly
@@FitnessWithFrost thanks a ton!
No problem. Good luck with your fitness journey
@@FitnessWithFrost also what is your opinion on the Inspire 3? Will the amazfit band 7 be able to track HRV? Sorry for the multiple questions 😅
Inspire 3 just pretty much the same as the charge 5 with accuracy as well, but I'm a smaller package and no ECG and no GPS. I do not believe the Band 7 tracks HRV
Can you control iPhone camera with the amazfit 7?
Sadly no
Hello, does this watch track high or low blood pressure?
It doesn't track it on the watch. I believe you can put in your own readings into the app to track, but the band will not do that
Hi which one is better in terms of accuracy amazfit band 7 or bip 3 pro ? Waiting for your reply
Hello, the poopoo doodoo 4 is what you’re looking for
Amazefit 7 vs honor band 7 vs vivosmart 4 vs honor magic watch 2, which one to go for
It is personal preference at that point. There are way to many things to go into for that
Do you know if this band have pomodoro tracker?
I am sorry I am not familiar with what that is
No
It does now. There was an update.
Thank you for that info!
Amazefit band 7 or the mi band 7 pro? Which one do u think is a better buy?
I like the Amazfit brand more than the Mi Bands in my opinion
Does this track AFib?
It does not sadly
Bip 3 or band 7 ? What would you recommend?
The Bip 3 is a bit more accurate, but I personally like the Band 7 form factor a bit more
Amazfit band 7 vs bip 3 pro what do you prefer
If you need the GPS I would go BIP 3 Pro. If not I'd go Band 7
I read that Alexa would not work until a future update in October... Is that true?
That use true. That didn't ship it with the Alexa or media player. It needs the update
Can you use it for weight training?
Lol yes
You haven't said anything about calls or messages...does it do that?
Yes I am sorry. You do very both, bit you can't answer the phone or will just let you hang up on the screen
Will it give you VO2 Max?
It will not
@@FitnessWithFrost Thanks! I got one today and it's SPo2 sensor is completely inacurate and it's not continious like they claim. You also have to hold super still for it to get a reading! So, how could it even record blood oxygen level continiously then... In my humble opinion it's complete junk!
How are the notifications on it?
They work well. I'm not really sure what you are asking with the question
Basically all I'm only concerned about being able to see like incoming phone calls and messages. If it's something important I have no problem grabbing my phone. I guess I was just asking about the user interface and whether it is too clunky or not
The user interface is decent. Definitely intuitive and you will be able to feel those notifications when they come up
Awesome. Thank you so much! Love your frank views on these products
I'm glad I could help!
How's the emoji support and what happens when you receive notifications with lots of text? Are you able to scroll through the whole message or does it just truncate it?
Up
You are able to see the majority of the main emojis and you have to click on the truncated text to read the whole thing. Hopefully that helps
@@FitnessWithFrost give to reply messages
I'm sorry I'm not exactly sure what you mean
@@FitnessWithFrost can answer whatsapp and telegram notifications
vs Amazfit GTS4 mini?
That are very similar devices with the same heart rate monitor, but you get a very good GPS with the mini. If you don't need the GPS I would go with the Band 5
Vs Redmi band 7. Which is the best?
I never got my hands on the Redmi band 7. Maybe one day
Has anyone figured out how to use ecg?
I'm relatively certain that it does not have one
how we get the notifications?
Counts in the phone you have, but you have to allow it permissions in your phone to allow the app to send out notifications to your phone. Hopefully that is helpful
@@FitnessWithFrost I was actually asking how we see the notifications on the watch. Like for other Amazfit devices its swapping from bottom to top. Here that one brings up app list.
I guess you can say it's technically a widget and you swipe from left to right. You can customize it to the spot you would like
@@FitnessWithFrost Thanks. Can I add Timer and Calculator (downloaded from app store) to the widget?
also other than the notifications/app list thingy, is the interface same as other Amazfit devices? Or anything cutting short here?
Can we switch off it?
Turn the device off?
Yes
This review sold me on this product except for the band clasp issue. Disappointing!
The band is the one thing they need to work on. Even the replacements are junk
Yeah it was a bad design choice
What about Alexa ?
It should have it now after the update
one question this watch is compatible with Android?
Yes Android 7.0 or higher
How to Use Alexa ? In vídeo not displayed.
This is a solid question and I don't think I have a clear answer for you. I linked a help page below, but I'm not seeing Alexa there. Hopefully there is an update coming
support.amazfit.com/en/faq/8535
@@FitnessWithFrost
I contacted the Amazfit support regarding Alexa and music control and this is the answer:
"Both the music control and Alexa features will be added to Amazfit Band 7 via OTA updates in the near future. Please have a little more patience. Thank you very much for your support and understanding!"
Thank you so much for this update. I really appreciate it
Alexa saiu no Amazfit Band 5 e agora na Amazfit Band 7 que vão adicionar? Está difícil o update global, um produto que já deveria sair direto com ela já adicionado por padrão.
The solution for the band is to wear it upside down. That way it will stay on
Since there no speakers on this I guess you can't make phone calls on it than only end calls right!
That is correct
🎉
Yay!
I wish I did more research before I bought my Apple Watch SE2 last year. I hate it. I HATE IT.
Amazfit band 7 doesn't have tennis
Sorry about that
Wish they would add cycling into their auto detect exercise as well as a web site interface in addition to the app. Great watch though. My FItbit is on the shelf, big waste of cash.
BTW, menstrual cycles applies to men as well these days, ya know! Get WOKE!
That's the worst band I've ever seen. Who in China thought that would be a good idea.
is it possible to answer whatsapp/telegram notifications with quick messages? thanks
To respond? I do not believe so. If you are looking for a better confirmation I would contact the manufacturer
i just used this watch yesterday , when i woke up it’s already 56 steps but i didn’t even walk yet why 🥲🤧 and even my steps are 2000 , burnt calories are zero , how can ? did u know?
Couple of things can be going on. One you might be moving a decent amount while sleeping and the band needs to get used to you. Two. It might only be tracking active calories burned so it might only track while your in a workout. These are just guesses though. Try and reach out to the manufacturer
Maybe you are a sleep walker 😳😂
