Thank you for the workaround for NFC for the UK. You have just made me purchase one as i have been running the T-REX 2 for a while now. It was the ONLY thing that was missing for me! Great review and tutorial!
Glad to help. You will probably miss the Trex feeling, but the Balance is a great model too.
@@TechMishka I’ve found the battery life to be much superior on the T-Rex 2 compared to the Balance, but it’s still better than most premium watches on battery life so I’ll take that on the chin as the NFC was what I wanted the most, I work all over Europe in a truck with many weeks away so the T-Rex 2 was amazing 👍
Great review and I like the way you respond to viewers comments. So many TH-camrs couldn't be bothered to do this.
These reviews are meant to help people. This is the main idea of this channel and I do my best to help as much as I can. So kind of you to notice this ❤️
Thank you for the great review! You made a note in the video that Amazfit was planning on pushing an update to make offline maps available on the Balance, AFAIK that has not happened. Any chance you have heard anything more about that?
I am still waiting for this to happen. Hopefully it is a matter of a few weeks.
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?
I like the Cheetah better. Don't need the NFC.
The sport watch looks interesting! I'm glad you say the health monitoring sensor and workout sensor are good. These are my priorities, and also battery life, considering it's not a real smart watch, although it has basic apps. I read it can make and answer the calls via bluetooth. Good! AOD, well it's not a big deal to live without it. Turning the wrist is fine. I need to change my old Huawei Watch GT (1st model), so this one is on my list together with Watch GT 4 😎 Thanks for the review!
This will feel like a decent upgrade, especially about scrolling performance.
Dear reviewer. Thanks a lot for your fantastic video. I just have one doubt pending, is it possible to wake up the screen just tapping on instead of pushing the bottom? Thanks a lot
Yes, possible
Thank you for the review.
Most welcome 🤗
I bought the Balance after watching this great video
Very pleased with it
Thank you Michael
Great to hear! I am back to my beloved cheetah, which is almost the same. Just a little uglier ☺️
@@TechMishka thank you Michael
Enjoy my friend
does it have watch only mode or power saving mode? does it shows day/year/date in this mode? thank you
It has, but it is not that power saving ...
I love ur detailed reviews on tech, especially smart watches😊
Glad you like them! Lots of efforts put in each one ☺️☺️☺️🧐
hi, is there any missed notification symbol as Huawei has it? thx
Yes, it shows a dot
Have you tried it for swimming? Does the stroke count works?
Thanks b4 👍
Haven't tried swimming with it myself
Nice review and nice watch :) Will you make a review of the new Xiaomi watch 2 pro anytime soon? It will be great if you review the LTE version :)
That's the plan!
Do you know when Xiaomi watch 2 pro will launch globally?
i plan to upgrade from 1st gen GTR due to being outdated. galaxy watch 4 classic due to being its 20mm band size too narrow and feminine.im hoping balance has really sharp screen and has atleast 24 to 26mm band size. should i buy it for 200usd?
It is an excellent choice.
great review of a great watch. I expect mine to arrive very soon. I would like to add that the OS is Zepp 3.0
Good call!
Hope that you can share later about your feelings.
hey there, could you do a quick review of the watch after 5 months of use? I'm thinking of buying one.
Hey man great video, which one would you recommend between Gtr 4 and balance? There’s about 50$ difference between both of them
The Balance is newer and supports contactless payments.
Hi,
Can you please advise best option is Samsung Galaxy 4 or Amazfit Balance as per your opinion.
I prefer greater battery life, so for me the choice is easy ☺️☺️
Nfc payments and 14 day battery life!? Sounds great for the price if only there was a option under 200usd. Is the AOD only one style with the digital display as you showed or is the other options?? Thanks for sharing with us
There is AOD that matches your watch face. You can also choose several default AOD appearances if you happen to not like the matching watch face.
There are many watch faces which have AOD version, which is cool.
The price in USA is already close to 220, which is great.
@@TechMishkaCan you change ai from Alexa to Siri or Hey google?
@@TechMishka And u can get 10% off with MOBILE10
Excellent review, thank you 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Michael please suggest which one should i get, Huawei gt4 or Amazfit Balance.
My requiremnts are: HR, temperature, battery, and outdoor visibility.
Both will do great
Does the sleep and health tracking work in power save or sleep mode?
It works in sleep mode.
Thank you for the detailed analysis of the smartwatch features. Does it detect sleep apnea?
It doesn't, as far as I know
@@TechMishkayes it does
Does it have memory / storage?? Would be helpful if we could have a Playlist for a gym workout, eg to substitute my mobile with it!
09:48 - yes it does, and if I remember correctly, it's around 4 gb
@@yunusseven that's cool!! Could be higher i suppose, but still cool!! Thanks!
Yeah, you.can use it for storing some music files.
And compare this to venu 3 which is better for gym use ?
I prefer this one. But I know people who would prefer the Venu 3
Hello.
Your reviews are very very good and full with all the information that everyone needs to know when have to decide about buying a smartwatch so thank you for that.
Can you give your opinion about Amazfit Balance or Amazfit T-Rex 2 and who will be your choice?
I am torn apart between the rugged design of Trex and the ability to make Bluetooth calls with the Balance. If they add a speaker to Trex I'd always go for it 🙃
Thank you a lot.
Continue to make such a great reviews.
Can't wait to try it out 💜
Hope you like it!
Which is better when using onther straps the midnight or the sunlight ?
Haj, a good question. I like both
Which would you recommend the most between Amazfit balance and Ticwatch pro 5? Which is better for doing sport? Thanks!
The Amazfit device.
after watching ur video, i bought a new amazfit balance to replace my Garmin F55 without hesitation because of the attractive price level. My F55 battery was drained out after 19 m operating while my Polar vantage battery had gone after 38 months running. I was quite disappointed for the life of this kind of gps watches. however, i was so surprised at the amazing watch face selections with the big size display of amazfit balance. i like it very much.
So happy to see that you like your new watch ❤️
Does ot send notification like apple watch if you have a heart problem ex. Arrhythmia? Not low/high beats)
Yes, you can configure it to do so.
In comparison with GTR4, is there any significant change in display resolution/color/brightness etc. ? I want to choose one between Balance and GTR4 and better display is important for me.
They are very similar. Some people believe the Balance was supposed to be GTR5
Does it have a gallery which allows you to view or upload pictures from your phone?
No 😔
Which one is better in case of Sensor accuracy test Amagefit Balance/Huawei GT4/Galaxy S6?
I'd choose between GT4 and Balance
I ended up returning mine and going back to my GTR 4 Limited Edition. The balance just felt cheap in comparison and with there not being any NFC payments available in America It wasn't much of an upgrade, especially losing the standard wireless charging and stainless steel build was present in the limited edition of its predecessor. I will admit though the system was extremely snappy and the battery life lasted me 6 days on the charge with always on display and 24/7 monitoring versus 4 days on my GTR 4 LE
Very true - NFC makes pretty much nomdifference in USA.
Thx. Now I'm going for the xiaomi watch 2 pro. Or GTR4. Makes the choise a little easier.
Can you dismiss notifications and delete things on the watch and have that mirrored on the phone, or do you have to clear notifications on phone and watch separately?
You can have them either way.
@@TechMishka Excellent, thanks. That was one of the main things putting me off compared to a WearOS watch (other than price!) 👍
Are you going to review the Fitbit charge 6?
Yeah, most likely.
Great review, but why nothing about notifications and notifications reply 😮😢
They are shown at some point. You can respond via predefined answers
Does it support text to speech output for non cited users ?
I believe it doesn't support this function.
is zepp pay active and or available in the US. Alot of people are saying it isnt even availableat all
I don't think it works in USA.
@@TechMishka i have been reading all over adn there is no mention of it being active in the states. i just ordered the new pixel 8 pro and am getting the pixel watch 2 for free. i was going to sell the pixel watch 2 for a balance. i dont need the zepp pay but its nice to know its there
just returned gtr3 pro due to its screen worst and blurrier than my 1st gen GTR 47MM. is gtr 4 and gtr balance has sharper screen or atleast equal to 1st gen gtr and gtr 3 pro?
The screen looks good to me
is the vibration stronger than huawei gt4 xiaomi watch 2 pro? thank you!
I haven't used the Gt4 yet. Vibration is similar to Pro 2.
@@TechMishka thank you!
Hello sir, which should I go if compare this balance with Garmin Forerunner 965 ?
Both are excellent devices.
Could you help me compare Amazfit Balance with Amazfit Cheetah Pro? Why is the Cheetah Pro priced significantly higher?
It has some more sports-oriented features. In terms of apps and performance they are almost the same.
Hi,
Can we use google map for navigation in this watch. Kindly confirm..
We don't have the Google maps app, but you can use an navigation map relaying commands from your phone, similar to the maps feature on Fitbit Charge 6
What's the size of the watch? Did u mentioned it?
Yeah, you can see the features list.
Will you be reviewing Amazfit Active?
👍
How do u covert Spotify to mp3 so I can transfer from my phone to this Watch ?
Not sure whether this is possible at all.
Hello can you Change the font size? Thanks
You cant
@@TechMishka thanx
Curious how big your wrist is. Did you find the watch face too large?
My wrist is just average. The watch faces are nice.
I think that the watch would be perfect if there was a keyboard to answer the messages (or voice to text) I hope that it will be maybe on an upgrade or in the next model of amazfit.
Would be nice to have indeed!
Today i get my balance grey but i will send it back. Really dissapointed because of kind op pink/purple color changing. I didnt saw it on any video but i dont like it. Went go v3 or more fashion gt4? I would like to have payment so amazfit was my balance choice . Maybe waiting on honor watch 4pro is better option if will be release in. Global.
I also hope to see the Honor released globally.
... yes we agree, amazing watch with great price !!!
Was about time to see NFC payments on Amazfit device too
Is the body fat percentage accurate ?
I don't think so.
I consider to buy venu 3, tw5p,balance or gt4. If venu has a design like balance or gt4 than even with the high price i have the winner. Photos in notifitacion is great to have in other sw(why other brands couldnt do it). Gt4 look amazing -priettest watch allready also wireless charging is great to have but with this battery life that will be not in must have.If Huawei add payments in their sw than they can have full pocket of money.(mostly thats why people dont buy Huawei watches). The crown of balance looks huge and bulky.Cant undestand why nobody copy samsung and rotatting bezel many people loves it me etheir. Maybe they have some legal assurances that nobody can copy that. In some of review users complain about gps tracking in city is that right?how good is sleep and nao tracker? One more question about football and tennis app did it use gos tracking too? I like to know how many km i ran during my match. I heard that balace have forhand and backhand counter during rackiet Sport..best grettings for u m8.
The Venu 3 video is coming up soon 🤓
I will perhaps skip GT4 this time, because of certain concerns.
@@TechMishkai m already order balance IT comes friday:).V3 is high price and nit stylish look like balance or gt4😍. Most what i like in v3 is image on notifitacion (if Garmin can do that why that didnt work on any other watches.Also dont understand why nobody copy Samsung rotation bezel od maybe is not possibile ornany kaw restriction. Balance crown is huge and bulky ). Why i chose aB over gt4. Some users said that screen in bright sunny light is illegible-balance have 2x more nits than GT and 2nd reason payment. If GT Has payments than i wil pick GT with wireless charging:).
what is the version of a device a2286 or a2287?
Sounds like versions for the different regions.
@@TechMishka so are you make a review for someone specific region only? why did this question stuck you?
You don't say anything about fast response, did he have it?
If yes, where you can answering only on sms? Or maybe messenger, whatsapp?
Regards 🤜🤛
It is shown - you can respond to most notifications from messaging apps via predefined answers.
I'm watched movie again and still don't know where is any information about fast response😮
When you will make the giveaway
I subscribed you from Egypt
Sometimes the shipping cost of any device with battery from where I live is a lot more expensive than the item itself, so I haven't done any giveaways recently.
Can I install MapMyRun to Amazfit Balance?
You can't
I think one of the disadvantages by that active button, is being caught up with the sleeve of the shirt, blouse, jacket etc... even my current Xiaomi Watch S2 Watch, which does not have very big protruding buttons, occasionally gets caught by the sleeve whenever I'm wearing long sleeved shirts etc, and it's a bit annoying when wearing a watch where an app/function gets paused or stopped because the button gets "pushed" by the sleeve 🙈
Options:wearing direction🤦🏻
I have had the same issue with Garmin Venu 3 recently...
@@bery7028 no 😀 I'm pretty pedantic about which arm I'm wearing my Watches on 😀 so putting it on the other arm just to avoid the button getting snagged, is a no no for me 😂
I don't like buttons either so I went with the garmin vivomove trend. but I have to charge it every three days and the time seems to have a mind of it's own when I need accurate time for work and the screen is not that bright. I think I'll try this one out even with the buttons.
@@TechMishkareally. I couldn't have guessed a flat watch and relatively flat buttons would cause that.
I cannot see the zeep pay for the apps and watch
Might be not supported in your.country, or you may have an old version of the app...
Where can you get replacement chargers?? It’s a nightmare. Ps nice show👍👍
AliExpress or eBay...
What's the difference from GTR4?
A few more features present. Plus contactless payments
Zepp OS 3.0, new BioTracker 5.0 PPG sensor (8PD + 2LED), Bioelectric Impedance Sensor (for upper body fat, etc. measurements)
best design is on gtr 4, sport edition; that display on gtr 4 + an rgb led inside crown button was or will be perfect!
👍👍👍
One cannot use Amex with curve sadly.
That's a pity 🧐
Did the watch can I connect with iPhone
Sure
@@TechMishka
I bought one very nice but one more from in app of Zepp I logged in Alexa but in watch Alexa not working or showing why
Can the bluetooth and wifi be turned off on the watch itself?
Not with this one.
@@TechMishka - So it doesn't allow it under the following: Settings > Connectivity > Bluetooth?
Does this work with a iPhone 15 pro max?
Yeah
What is the bottom button for?
Opens the workouts by default
Still waiting for stratos unit with MIP
Yeeeaaah ☺️
can we is it for whatsapp call ?
Nope
Will it support Google map navigation
Nope
@@TechMishka may I know the size of the strap? Can galaxy watch strap matches with it?
your voice is remind me David Attenborough, almost thought it was AI
Oh wow 😳 I hope this is a good thing. I am definitely not AI 😍
how many RAM and ROM on this smartwatch ?
2GB RAM, 32GB storage
@TechMishka , you currently the helpful person among the peoples. ☺️
in my country
huawie gt4 220$
galaxy 5pro 240$
galaxy 6classic 260$
amazfit balance 300$
which one is the best to buy?
The GT4 is at a pretty good price
Hi, thinking about the Balance or the Xiaomi Watch 2 pro (regardless of the operating system) . The price is the same in CZ. I would like payment, I am attracted by the long endurance of Balance, but payment via Curve, otherwise I go running 2x - 3x a week, I am a hobby runner, I am interested in measuring distance and time... I am attracted by answering messages with Xiaomi, and also eSim. But I'm afraid of staying power. A long time ago I bought a Samsung galaxy Watch 4, they didn't even last a whole night and day, so I returned them within a week... Oh yeah...
The Xiaomi watch has similar battery life to the Galaxy device.
Sounds like you are into sports, so you may check some of the Garmin models with NFC.
@@TechMishka The main problem with Garmin is the price. The Venu 3 costs twice as much as the Amazfit Balance, but probably not 2x better... I like the Amoled display, which the older, cheaper Garmin models don't have. Vivoactive 5, it's a little cheaper, but again it doesn't have a barometer, a 1.2 inch display.. 😬
I was also a bit reluctant regarding Curve, but other than having to pay a one time fee of GBP 5 for their debit card, it's been working flawlessly in combination with my Balance. Finding Curve quite handy, actually, as a centralized card to link everything else too and then switch funding sources on the fly.
Unfortunately the dimension of "46x46 mm" is a lie. I bought the watch this morning and its diameter is 48 mm, not 46. The distance from the upper lugs (horns) to the lower lugs is 52 mm. So this watch should be advertised with "48x52mm" instead of "46x46".
This watch is huge and that's why they lie on the dimensions.
Very good smartwatch however.
I believe they measure it in a different way. Indeed the watch is bulky.
Does this have ECG measurement?
No, it doesn't
Unfortunately it's not continuous heart rate. SPo2 is not very accurate. I had the older one, was not happy with the heart rate monitor and the SPo2. The Huawei GT4 is a health tracking watch. Amazfit is not
You can download an app and have continuous HR tracking.
Didn't try GT4 myself yet, probably never will
I was looking into this and was looking good until I checked out the price, in Australia its RRP is $499 - and to put that into perspective, that's only $50 less than the (bluetooth/wifi only) Pixel Watch 2, and $150 more than the very similar Amazfit GTR4. I don't feel like that pricing is reasonable - I did the maths and based on current exchange rates and taking taxes into account it should be closer to $400, so it's about a $100 markup.
Yeah... This is weird indeed. Makes Pixel Watch 2 a reasonable choice
Such a shame about the lack of navigation options like Google maps, public transport… and the music seems to be limited to mp3 copied across rather than, for example downloading from Spotify etc. Next iteration! Meanwhile I’ll stick with my £70 Amazfit which fits give me a reliable 11 days, though seems to be diminishing after a year. Such a shame they didn’t makes the chargers compatible with those for existing Amazfit watches!
Totally!
I think it will take time until we get Google Maps o lr similar...
Had Amazfit band 7, but i hated the AI function everywhere in the app, so now i bought a Xiaomi Watch S3 instead!
Hopefully you will enjoy it more!
can it play youtube
Nope
I was really close to buying Amazfit Balance ..amazing watch ...however it all comes down to Accuracy. Seems like Amazfit made a lot of improvements but I think they are still behind ...I got Huawei GT4 ..and accuracy is amazing. But it seems that if Amazfit keeps improving their sensors and algorithms they will have a killer watch on their hands.
Quite interesting that you compare them without having tested the Amazfit device? Or I got it wrong?
I was thinking the same, the guy was judging and never got the watch haha@@TechMishka
@@TechMishkaother TH-camrs test the accuracy of each one
Thabks for advice... I will also buy Huawei gt4 as well
I had a Huawei GT 2, now a GT Runner and both measure steps even in the car. I drive and look at the display as my steps increase. It takes 2,000 steps per working hour in the car... GT Runners are also absolutely incapable of calculating gradients. Even if I climb three floors a day, then I drive the car all day to work, and after work my watch shows that I have climbed maybe 650m, sometimes 1150m, depending on where I drive. They have been in the service twice already, they changed the motherboard and the day after the service it is the same. Huawei never again...
Paying with a watch in Huawei - just leave the watch there as a trade-in...
The front looks like the galaxy watch 6 classic
Yeah, somewhat
@@TechMishka I guess you gotta take inspiration from somewhere lol
@@TechMishkaI wonder what type of wearables you like to cover/ review on your Channel in your opinion

Yup. I forgot to film the Balance doing the same, so used the Cheetah.
@@TechMishka gotu! thank you!
It's almost the same like a amazfit cheetah 😜
Yup ☺️
But it seems that Amazfit finally updated the sensors. The older watches of them gave quite wrong results.

Is balance can use offline map like cheetah
Yes
Is this really true? I read everywhere that the balance does not have offline maps like the cheetah does. Please clarify. Or show with a picture. Thanks!
@@TechMishka thanks, maybe can make video tutor about that

Does the smartwatch support the Korean language?

Thanks for supporting of Ukraine 🇺🇦
Keep it up mates! Better times will come ❤️
Idk why they didn't call it gtr 5
Good question...
Amazfit are ok wTches until you need support to fix issues. Then it is a nightmare. Better off getting a Garmin watch.
😕
The glass is exposed! Why do they keep doing this, so that the screen will be easily scrated and you will need to buy a new one.
Mine didn't get any scratches for these two weeks and I have been doing some construction work most days.
i had to slow the video down cause you talk to fast lol
Oh wow, sorry about that. Some people complain about the opposite 😕
Can we meet
Isn't the presence on TH-cam not enough? ☺️
Wear OS sucks i rather this OS
👍👍
Ukrainian "developers" was interested. not anymore :P

Why do you talk weird
Maybe I am weird! 🧐
Had to choose between the Amazfit Balance and the Huawei Watch GT4. In the end I have bought the GT4. But the Amazfit is quite tempting too :)
I had amazfit gtr4 ,i loved it ,and zepp app is great but the heart sensor was really bad , in weightlifting couldn't measure continuously,only one minute later .
Now i have huawei gt4 amazing too but now im looking again for the balance because of nfc and the rediness feuture hoping the heart sensor be fixed
I did the opposite. I actually bought GT4 and now selling it to buy Balance. Just looks a bit more AI smart to me. We will see.
It is a bit more AI indeed. Similarities are a lotntoo
Am having the same battle here
