@@techgadgets100 hello my friend , how to import routes to amazfit balance ? I already have the gpx files on my phone, and I saved them in the Zepp app, but I don't have any "send to device" option, can you help me? thanks
I just went through app list. Most are very basic, like lists, water reminders that are mostly stand alone. I did not see any that add significantly to the experience. Also, I previously downloaded one that almost locked my watch... Good news is that most are free. I will keep checking then and if a really beneficial app gets added, I will include it in a video. Thanks for watching!
Amazfit calls these shortcut cards, they are different from true widgets on other watches. You can customize these on the watch or in the Zepp app. easiest to explain here is to swipe and open the shortcut cards then scroll all the way to the bottom. click the gear like icon. now just hit minus on any you want to delete. hit plus on any you want to add. you can also move them up and down by touching and holding a card, then slide the card to wherever you want. Hope that helps!
I love that you already know everything about the watch before you unbox it. I am exactly the same way 😊😀. Enjoy your new watch! Thanks for taking time to comment!
Great review. Thanks! I have had the watch since November 2023. Recently, I have had medical issues, and was wondering if you know if the watch has emergency SOS notifications like the Apple Watch, where you can call emergency services and text individuals when a fall incident occurs. I can't seem to find anything in the settings that allows me to setup emergency contacts. I love the watch and battery life. But may have to switch to an Apple watch for this feature.
Sorry to hear. There is no fall detection or SOS feature with any Amazfit watches (as far as I know). The only thing you can do is add a "top contact" which could be a few of your emergency contacts. In the Zepp app click on your watch in the profile page of app. Then click on the phone app, then at bottom will be the top contacts, click add. If you dont have the money or dont want to spend it on an Apple watch, you can check out the new Samsung Fit 3 that I am reviewing now. It has fall detection and an SOS feature and it is only $69. Here is a short that will introduce you to it. th-cam.com/users/shorts7GuXaxHJaYY hope that helps!
Hello, Really useful information for customizing the watch ! Can you please tell me if we can change the text size for the notifications ? I find the text to be a bit too large. Thanks and good luck !
Actually no. I could not find a way to change font size on watch, crazy right? If you want to change font size on app, here you go. Go to profile portion of Zepp app. Scroll to bottom, clock settings and font size. If anyone can change font size on watch, update it here.
Thank you for the informative video. New owner of the Amazfit Balance, but looks like the Zepp app is missing the 'Fast Reply Management' option.Is this only in the latest version, anybody knows?
does it have a lot of free watch face? just got gtr 3 pro and it didnt have a lot of good watches unlike 1st gen GTR47mm. i immediately returned it due to its screen blurry than 1st gen GTR. i kinda want to buy balance its the biggest screen and sharpest screen.
I think the Balance is the best Amazfit right now. Screen is great. Amazfit says they have more than 200 watch faces. Last time I checked, about half of them are free, the others 1-3 dollars.
Brilliant video, I was wondering if you know a way to skip forward audio that is playing on the watch at all? Currently only able to skip to next track, which is fine for music, but frustrating for long podcasts.
Yes, you can only skip tracks. It seems it would be easy to add a press and hold feature to fast forward but it is not available now. Sorry, I dont have a work around. Thanks for the kind words!
REALLY enjoyed your video.... Thank you so much! Would you do a video showing how to use the AMAZFACES app to add watch faces please? I'll be damn if I can figure it out with my new Balance watch. I just came from the GTR 2 which was a bit easier. TIA
Gracias por tus vídeos, son excelentes. Una pregunta, cuando haces una actividad, una vez se guarda se le puede cambiar el nombre para identificarla mejor?.

Perfect timing! I have a video scheduled to release this week about how to make a route, download maps, create GPX files and get them to your watch!

Actually the Watch 5 pro is probably my favorite Samsung watch but when I am not testing new watches I prefer to Balance. Battery life is a hugh feature for me. Only concern for the Balance is the screen, so I have a protector on it. But short answer- the Balance.
Great review sir. I used to have the T-Rex Pro and I didn't like it. It was too thick and I found also that it would count steps while moving my arm and not actually walking (lets say washing dishes for example). Do you find this one is more accurate? Also, how is the vibrate option on it. Strong enough to wake you up in the morning? Thank you!
I found the Amazfit balance to be accurate. I tested it against the Samsung watch 5 pro and watch 6 classic. It's hard to say but I think the vibration motor will be enough to wake you. You can change the intensity but also you can make a customized pattern that can give a long vibration or many vibrations for the alarm.
Great helpful review .When phone's screen is turned off .i can't control music with my watch .i tried it with a lot of different music players ...Secondly it has a very low speaker volume during calls ... I don't know maybe my watch has this problem ...can you help me out please 🙂
I have a few tips. when the screen is off, you can not control the music with the watch. If you are trying to control the music during a workout you can have the screen stay on during workout and then just swipe over to the music controller. To enable this, on the watch, in settings, display, scroll to the bottom, toggle "wake during workout" on. For the phone, there are no settings you can change the voice volume unless you are on a phone call. once you get a call there is a volume icon in the middle, click on that and then you are able to adjust the volume and that should be your new default. Hope that helps!
@@techgadgets100 ich meine eigentlich wenn am Telefon Musik spielt und das Bildschirm des Telefons aus ist .lässt es sich nicht von der Uhr kontrollieren ...
Alexa won’t control functions on your iPhone. It can be used to answer questions and to play Amazon music and media to you, but it isn’t a replacement for Siri and iPhone shortcuts, as far as I understand.
if you read it on watch, still shows up as unread on phone. remember no images in text and no keyboard to type a response, only preset quick responses.
@@techgadgets100 how exactly to do this? I've set up zepp flow on the bottom button, I've got notification from messenger, pressing button now or after clicking reply gives the same results, if I speak my reply immediately (in polish), it says "sorry, this function doesn't work now".

Hi, I have been watching your Amazfit Balance videos and I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. The silver bezel around the screen, is it part of the watch body or is it actually part of the screen and made from the screen glass? also, if using an iPhone, are the text messages available from all apps, like Facebook messenger, watsapp, iMessage etc... Thank you in advance and I look forward to watching some more great videos.
You had me at, "I have been watching your Amazfit Balance videos"... anyway, no the silver bezel is not under the glass, part of the body. I have not tested the Balance with the iphone but it should work like android phones. Which is- you will get notifications from all these apps that you can toggle on and off. But since you can not download these apps to the watch, you do not get any app functionality. Thanks for watching!
Hi and thanks for your beautiful video. Is there anyone who knows if There is a way to activate a notification advice for phone disconnection? Something that advice you: leaving phone behind. In the old amazfit bip there was!
I do get an "Amazfit balance disconnected" but it is usually too delayed to be useful for your purpose- something to give you an immediate alert when the phone and watch are separated. I actually love that feature but it is not available on the balance. Thanks for the kind comment! 😊
I am not sure what you are referring to... But the Amazfit Balance does not have a rotating bezel (like Samsung watch 6 classic) but it does have rotating crown, the top button. It works perfectly!
when I press the upper right button, it opens the app view, but its little bit different like there is no list view, but bunch of different apps at once
The balance is the successor to the GTR 4. As far as I know, Amazfit is not making a GTR 5. Balance is newer with a few extra features, for only a little more money. I recommend the balance unless you get a great deal on the GTR 4, it is still a great watch.
You skipped over talk to text speech? How does it work? This is one of the only watches that supposedly does this. I would like to have seen that. Thank you for the review!
That feature came out as a software update after I published this video. I will try to make another video covering the new features. Thanks for watching!
I've heard that if you set up Zepp flow on the button, you can voice reply with it to the notifications. Gonna check on that in a week when I'll get mine watch.
If you are getting whatsapp messages on your phone AND you are getting all other notifications on your watch, there is only one thing I can think of. You need to turn on whatsapp notifcations in the Zepp app. In profile part of Zepp app, click on your watch, then "notifications and reminders", then app alerts. All your apps will show at the bottom, _hopefully_ whatsapp was off and when you toggle it on your problem is fixed.
From what i read, Amazfit just started testing the blood pressure monitoring, only available in a few countries. Not sure if it will be rolled out everywhere eventually, but not available in US as of now. It if is available in your country it should be a separate app.
I have my Amazfit Balance and recently I tested Huawei Watch GT4. Huawei display was so smooth, no laggy whatsoever, certainly 60 fps. Meanwhile mine Amazfit is not that smooth. It gets a bit laggy when I swipe from from watch face to left or right. I don't think there is 60 fps rate on Amazfit Balance. Is my watch faulty?
I dont think that Amazfit lists it's fps but it is likely at least 60 fps, even budget watches have this. I did not notice any stuttering of the software but if you are noticing it, I would think it is likely due to the processor, which is also not listed. if the lags are significant you can try restarting it, if they persist it might be a hardware issue.
@deepfish The IP rating is ONLY for freshwater. No watches are recommended for swimming in salt water. It will probably void your warranty and could damage the watch. If you are brave enough to use it in salt water, I would recommend you _gently_ wash or rinse it as soon as you are done.
I can only say for certain that it is available in US. but this was made available on the Amazfit Balance by a software update a few months after this video was published.
You have to download from the Zepp app, find maps app. Your location should be already loaded but you can find another one. Click download, then your watch will automatically let you know there are maps available. You have to download these maps using your wifi, so wifi has to be already set up on your watch. Then go to maps app on the watch. GPS will lock and show you where you are, but the maps are basic.
If you were talking about your GPX files, then go to workout section of the Zepp app (along the bottom), then scroll to bottom, under "more" section, click on "my routes". Then you will see all your downloaded GPX files. Hope that helps!
Hello, in the Amazfit IT shop, they start shipping it within middle October. o you know if they are releasing and upgraded version or a new model ? Thanks
there is no pre installed camera app on the Amazfit Balance. You can add one from the Zepp which directs you to download a new camera app for your phone for $2.49. as of now the app has no reviews. I did not want to add it- something seems off...but if you are more adventurous let me know.
No you cant uninstall Alexa. But you can hide it from your short cuts and you can change it from the default so that when you press and hold the top button something other than Alexa activates. It does not show up in your app list on the watch.

I dont think that Amazfit lists it's fps but it is likely at least 60 fps, even budget watches have this. I did not notice any stuttering of the software but if you are noticing it, I would think it is likely due to the processor, which is also not listed. if the lags are significant you can try restarting it, if they persist it might be a hardware issue.
That sounds like a “you” issue because my watch is as smooth as butter. Maybe your watch is affected or something?
@@scionixx9568 so what wold you advice? Return it to store? I don't see any way of fixing this issue
dose it have shutter or some sort of remote shutter for iphone camera ?
There is no built in camera app. Sorry.
There is an app on the store for use the watch as remote shutter. Need also an app on the phone and it cost 3 euros.
Can we add external chest heart rate monitor to it?
Yes, through Bluetooth. But I am not sure which accessories are supported. Before buying one, confirm with Amazfit that it is supported.
@@techgadgets100 thanks for the quick reply
This watch is good for using on sea?thk
Not sure what you mean but it is water proof to 5 ATM and IP68 rated.
I meanSaltwatwer or only freshwatwer proof?
@deepfish The IP rating is ONLY for freshwater. No watches are recommended for swimming in salt water. It will probably void your warranty and could damage the watch. If you are brave enough to use it in salt water, I would recommend you _gently_ wash or rinse it as soon as you are done.
Is Zepp flow only Alvin Europe ?
I can only say for certain that it is available in US. but this was made available on the Amazfit Balance by a software update a few months after this video was published.
How do you access the maps that are downloaded?
You have to download from the Zepp app, find maps app. Your location should be already loaded but you can find another one. Click download, then your watch will automatically let you know there are maps available. You have to download these maps using your wifi, so wifi has to be already set up on your watch.
Then go to maps app on the watch. GPS will lock and show you where you are, but the maps are basic.
If you were talking about your GPX files, then go to workout section of the Zepp app (along the bottom), then scroll to bottom, under "more" section, click on "my routes". Then you will see all your downloaded GPX files. Hope that helps!
Hello, in the Amazfit IT shop, they start shipping it within middle October. o you know if they are releasing and upgraded version or a new model ? Thanks
I would love a Balance 2! But have not heard anything yet.
@@techgadgets100 thanks
can thye take picture?
Last time I checked you couldn't. I am away right now but will check when I get back to make sure it was not added in a software update
there is no pre installed camera app on the Amazfit Balance. You can add one from the Zepp which directs you to download a new camera app for your phone for $2.49. as of now the app has no reviews. I did not want to add it- something seems off...but if you are more adventurous let me know.
Could uninstall alexa?
No you cant uninstall Alexa. But you can hide it from your short cuts and you can change it from the default so that when you press and hold the top button something other than Alexa activates. It does not show up in your app list on the watch.
