Amazfit Band 5 User Manual for Amazfit Band 5

The Amazfit Band 5 launches on 25 October and may appear from other retailers once it goes on general release. It's got a 5ATM waterproof rating, which means it's safe for showering and a swim up to 50 meters' depth. There are also a couple of additional features that measure stress or encourage you to engage in concentrated, meditative breathing for a minute or two. Both are welcome inclusions and ones that can help you stop and rest for brief periods throughout the day.Now, we think this might be a combination of things. It may be that the Band didn't sit tight enough, despite using it on the tightest fit option available. There must be some software issues here too. All of your progress is recorded in the Zepp app and you can review your performance either on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis. The PAI system awards you points for various activities and if you fill out the quite detailed breakdown of your body size, then it can closely monitor your improvements over time and get the boost of hitting the targets it sets.

For sleep, you're getting some pretty comprehensive data and insights. You can't view sleep data on the Band, so it's over to the app to see how well or badly you've slept.The addition of a blood oxygen measurement is impressive, with Apple touting this as the banner feature in its new Apple Watch 6. Of course, as with anything like this, you should only use it as a rough guide.

Amazfit Band 5 review - Which?

The Amazfit Band 5 has a light and functional design. It feels really comfortable, almost unnoticeable due to only weighing 12 grams.I was keen to try it out. What follows are my impressions after living with it on my wrist for the past ten days. Design To get closer to double digit days of battery life, you're going to need to disable things like the sleep assistant, 24/7 heart rate monitoring and not keep the screen at max brightness.

At , it's a little pricier than the Mi Band 5 ( ) and a lot closer in price to the Samsung Galaxy Fit 2 ( ) and the Huawei Band 4 Pro . Sleep monitoring is included, with a breakdown of the hours you were in bed, plus an analysis of light and deep sleep. Again, this is a rough idea of your sleeping patterns, as my reports stated that I hardly ever reached deep sleep throughout the couple of weeks of wearing the band. The most obvious one is the touch button below the display. The Amazfit wearable has a circular one, the Xiaomi an oval one. Another difference is that the whole thing is a tiny bit larger than Mi Band. Its actual dimensions are47.2 x 18.5 x 12.4 mm.During testing it has been comfortable to wear in the day, during exercise and at night. It's never fallen off and the band hasn't cause any skin irritations or issues. Indoors its a breeze. You can read absolutely everything, no problem. Outdoors and in direct sunlight it becomes much more difficult. This is not helped by the fact that some of the text is really small. The sensor on my Amazfit Band 5 is constantly glowing red at night. Is this normal or is there a defect? It is very disturbing and also consumes a lot of battery. To keep calm, there’s a guided breathing exercise that can be accessed from the fitness band. It consists of an inhale/exhale animation which you are meant to emulate, and an accompanying vibration. It's not an always-on screen, though the raise to wake gesture was pretty reliable for us. Visibility is good on the whole, but you'll need to crank it up to the maximum brightness setting in brighter outdoor daylight based on our experience.
