I ordered a Bip 5 unity recently, so I'm just waiting on it. Thanks for showing that you can change the color of the watch face when it's a custom picture one. No other video ever mentions or shows that, so i assumed it was always white since they never changed the color
No, several other Amazfit watches got updates that added this feature. It does not look like the Bip 5 is scheduled to get it. Hopefully that changes in the future.
press the side button to go into apps. scroll down the app list to find "membership card". They will be listed there. sounds like you already did the set up, but that has to be done on the Zepp app on the phone. Hope that helps.
No. it estimates your stride length based on your height. when you use a treadmill the watch will ask you the distance you ran and it will use this to help get more accurate data.
I just double checked, you can control the music playing on your phone but you cant listen through watches' speakers. I have only seen this feature on watches that you can store music on the watch. For instance, you can do this on the Amazfit Balance.

I think it is a permission issue. Make sure you give notification access to the Zepp app on your phone. Also make sure the app is not being put to sleep. You can disable all or some of the notifications from the Zepp app but as far as I know there is no way to disable to quick reply option.
How can I stop the spotlight mode from coming on really bright late at night while I'm trying to sleep? The watch seems to think it's an emergency flashlight. At 3:00 a.m. it looks like the sun coming up. All I have to do is move my arm, and it comes on so bright I have to bury it under blankets to get back to sleep. How do I turn off that dumb feature ?
When you say "spotlight" I assume you mean the regular watch face. Simple fix, turn on sleep mode on settings. You can manually activate it, smart enable it or just schedule it. Check out 8:30 in the video. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the video so I know what I’m getting. Keep the good work up. ❤. I know this isn’t the place to ask or this but if you can help me quickly with my mi band 8 to know how to do quick reply on it for iPhone it’s not working
In the Zepp app settings, go thru apps and toggle on notifications from Facebook. You can not add the app to the watch and you will only get limited notifications from the app.
It seems Amazfit changed the settings a little. This might be the problem. In the profile portion of the Zepp app scroll down to settings. then at top, accounts and security. Add Facebook. Hopefully that fixes it. Let me know. Less likely, you did not give all the permissions to the Zepp app? check in settings/ apps.
Check this part of video 15:05 How to change notification settings. as long as your watch is linked to your phone through bluetooth and the notifications are on you will get your notifications. You can check through each app to make sure the notification is toggled on. You can only send quick preset replies. I also show where you can change the quick replies at the above point. Hope that helps!
Looks like the watch does not know when you wear it on your wrist & when it is off your wrist (or needs to have the password enabled?), because the sensors keep trying to measure while you're reviewing it! Not very smart & this is wasting battery, plus annoying flicker at night. Thanks for the detailed review :o) The low budget TOTU SW-P66 doe sense it when it is no on my wrist & stops the scan. I am thinking of upgrading to Bep 5 tough!
It might have been because my fingers were intermittently next to the sensors keeping it from going to sleep. I did not check to see how long it takes but it does go to sleep and I did get good battery life while using it. There are more and more watches in this price range but I think the Bip 5 is a good buy. Thanks for watching! I am still waiting on my CMF nothing watch pro 2 to get here- but, if improved from their first watch it may be a good alternative. stay tuned!
I just got this watch yesterday, and still trying to figure out a lot of stuff. The tutorials people post are necessary because the help information stinks. There is no list of icons, and their functions. Their online help also stinks. I think that's a fair statement when I spend hours looking for a description and function of the little icons on the watch, and there isn't any information provided by the company. The watch seems very useful, but the company completely dropped the ball on user guides and help. Good watch. Poor instructions.
All gadgets are getting much more advanced. Agreed, if you don't educate yourself there are likely a lot of features that will not be used because all companies are poor with giving detailed guidance. I guess they are leaving the education of their products up to TH-camrs...🤔
How do I get Google maps? Got the link but it just gives me a qr code and I can't figure out how
This watch does not support Google maps. Sorry.
Thanks for the video it's really useful. I've just got my bip 5
Thank you! Enjoy your new watch! 😉

Is there a way to reply to a text on the watch but speaking what you want to say?
No, several other Amazfit watches got updates that added this feature. It does not look like the Bip 5 is scheduled to get it. Hopefully that changes in the future.
Excellent video! One question: how do I find my gym membership cards (which I added on setup) on the watch?

can I calibrate my stride? it's 90cm when I run outdoor but in treadmill it's 70cm.
No. it estimates your stride length based on your height. when you use a treadmill the watch will ask you the distance you ran and it will use this to help get more accurate data.
Is it possible to attach an external HR belt with Bluetooth?
Sorry, no. I just double checked.
@@techgadgets100 Thanks for checking.
It’s won’t let me reply to messages on my Amazfit bip 5 any thoughts on what the problem might be
Did you allow Zepp app all permissions? As far as I know, there is no way to disable quick replies, so nothing to turn on.
@@techgadgets100 thanks I’ll try that
Can i listen to music using only the speakers on the amazfit...? And how do I do that. Thanks in advance for your answer
