okay so here's my story I wanted a SmartWatch for a very long time I backed the pebble that was supposed to come out it never did cuz Fitbit bought them and we know what happened so I went out and bought a versa because I was like this seems like the one for me and I had it for I don't know a week and a half and I was like no I hate it I would wouldn't turn on when I flick my wrist I complain to you about it because it was it was like almost your fault that this is not my fault anyway somehow my fault oh your fault someone on Twitter said hey check out this brand from China that check it was amaze Fitbit and I've been wearing it for a month and I love this watch because it just does what I wanted to do it's always on it's got an e display it was like $79 the battery lasts for you know a month and then I changed the watch face around and I get at least two weeks out of it and it just gives me like very basic notifications and that's really all I want out of a SmartWatch well you know it is my fault my fault is that I did not look at the amazement bit sooner and you pushed me to finally review it it had this kind of surprised us launch and it came available it's been a cult hit where a lot of people are buying this like five million people have bought this world was and and this watch I looked at amazed but the company apart of Xiaomi they they're basically taking what the pebble did and doing it more like the pebble then will fit and it's funny cos Fitbit bought pebble but I'd say the Fitbit tried to make it much more like the Apple watch and really pursue trying to make this thing look have a nice design and and and flashy features which is fine but this is much more utilitarian and this focus is on things like their always-on screen super long battery like I got I've got two weeks of battery life no problem with this and it does everything just fine and is low key and for a lot of people that don't want to worry about a SmartWatch good enough yeah it takes away all the annoying things I'd still say it doesn't really address some of the stuff like it takes a little bit of time to connect to the watch and kind of goes to sleep after a while and I still like the Fitbit app if you want to do fitness I feel like it's much better for finding communities and tracking the me fit app is like you're kind of on your elbows no it's it's bare bones and a little weird but it's if you want to just track steps you want to just track things like steps leapin and not worry much about that it definitely does that it even does heart rate and the real question is why aren't more watchmakers doing things like the emaciation it's obviously cheaper to make I did she / to sell you would imagine people would buy this you know it's look it's not the perfect watch but I do like the fact that I was able to customize my own just by doing a little bit of research and and you know using Photoshop to create my own face that was awesome feel like something like greater than I would ever get couldn't do that but I appreciate they already have a couple of good ones a decent community yeah like and you can get what you want this watch to do don't expect a lot especially with watch faces and apps because this has a lot more of those yeah but again if you're looking for something that's like a digital watch it gets notifications that you can also curate which is nice you can turn on individual ones like the Fitbit does and I just think that more companies Fitbit if you're listening which I'm sure you are should be focusing on making more affordable watches with always-on screens a better battery life and not worry so much about being the fanciest one because look this thing is really easy to use well I mean look it comes down to this what got me to switch from the Versa to the BIP was being able to tell the time I just want to look at my wrist nothing freaking flip it a thousand times I think the duper you know I've been super conditioned through smart watches to start doing that I've got you know what I do appreciate the fact that this is always on and yeah it reminds me that you can do it it's definitely doable and they spits already doing it so you can get this thing now but also you could think about maybe a future watches start incorporating this this is the message just do that I'm happy to get rid of the bit if if if it made the their version of this I want them to come together come to Taiwan I want the phone in the bit to fuse into that future product which we don't really have yet
