Amazfit Active Edge Smart Watch 46 mm, Rugged Sport & Fitness Watch, GPS, AI Health Coach for Outdoor, Workouts & Exercise, 16 Days Battery, 130+ Sports Modes, Android iPhone Compatible, Lava Black

Short version - This is a good value for the cost. You ARE able to use it with an Iphone, but the functionality isn't as seamless as an Apple watch, which is to be expected. This is the Amazfit Edge, not the T-Rex version. it seems a lot of those reviews are in with this one.Long version - More thorough thoughts coming from someone who thinks a smart watch is a "nice to have" thing and can't justify hundreds of dollars for a watch. I've had maybe 3 Timex Ironman watches over 30 years, only replacing when it made sense such as a band breaking and it only costing about $15 more for a new watch over the cost of a new band. Or the water resistance failing after having to open it up and replace a battery. I once received a free apple watch that I used for a couple of years before it was damaged and died. So the comments below have some comparisons to that experience.Battery life - This is good. I have used this for a week and I charged it up to 100% and wanted to see how far it would go with the basic settings. From Friday afternoon, til Wednesday morning, it was at 15% charge left. This is with default settings, most features are on, and I'd used it a few times for walks using the GPS feature which I'm sure uses a little more battery. Compared to the apple watch, this is much better. I could get maybe 2 days out of that, but usually let it charge at night.Steps - This has been inconsistent. The device itself doesn't pair directly with the apple healthkit. It's the accompanying app, Zepp, that pushes information to healthkit. Some days the steps are the same, and then other days the health app will show thousands more steps. It's almost like it adds steps read from the watch to steps read from the phone itself. I've not yet tried to see if I can stop it from detecting steps from just the phone. If you are using just the Zepp app, this shouldn't be an issue. For my use case, I am using it to track steps/activities for an HSA incentive program. The app for that only gathers information from healthkit, so the information needs to come from there. It also does not sync with the activity "rings" for IOS. You can see your workouts in the activity app, but that's it. It captures calories burned, but not stand and activity in that app.Zepp app - It's an average app so far. As far as navigating it, I've used worse and I've used better. It's somewhere in between. For activity information such as steps, workouts, etc. it can only push information to the health app. They don't actually sync, and even then it seems to add to the information that's there, not combine it. I don't know if this is something the developer can resolve or if it's simply a matter of Apple not playing well with third party apps.Notifications (text and others) - These do work, but it's only notifications. For messages in messaging apps, like text or whatsapp, you can only see the notification. You can't respond to it. With an apple watch you can respond with default responses or voice dictation. It seems this watch has no mic at all. That said, they didn't work right away. Even with all of the settings enabled, alerts weren't coming through. After some trial and error I found that you have to have "notification center" notifications enabled in the app of choice for it to work. For example, for my text/imessage I had banner, lock screen, sound, and badges all enabled and it still wouldn't work. Once I enabled the "notification center" option, it started working. Maybe this is something the developers can look into.GPS - Works really well. From what I can tell, it's fairly accurate. So much so that when I go on a walk in my neighborhood it's accurate enough to show that I have walked on different sides of the road on the sidewalk. I'd say it's accurate down to maybe 2-3 feet.Sleep information - I've never used this on a different device, but it seems to work pretty well. Seems my sleep is better than I thought it would be.Watch face - one personal reason I didn't want another apple watch, I don't like the square face. It's nit picking, but it is what it is. That said, the look of this one is good. There are hundreds of options to change the appearance, however maybe 75% of them you have to pay for them. Most are in the $2-4 range. Another thing I liked better on the apple watch is the ability to customize what information you have. Most faces for this have steps, heart rate, stand, and battery life. Some have weather. But you can't set them to show what info you want, it's whatever you get with the particular watch face.Final thoughts - So far, charging from the 15% to 90% has taken about 35 minutes. Looks like a full charge should happen in less than an hour. I was concerned about functionality with the IOS operating system and some of those concerns were valid. My primary use case is as a pedometer and it does that with some extra functions, but it's not as seamless as I would prefer. I only paid $75 for it, which is about $30 more than what I would have paid for an Ironman replacement (it was about time), so I gave it a shot. It's a far cry from the $200 starting price for an apple watch which I can't justify for a fancy pedometer.Hope this helps for iPhone users. I was hesitant because I hadn't seen any reviews specific to how well it may or may not work with an iPhone.

I researched this watch for quite some time before buying this watch. Please do yourself a favor and don't read the negative reviews, everyone has had a lemon now and again, but this watch isn't one of them.I have had the watch for a month so far, and I wanted to wait to see what the battery life would be like. They advertise an 18-day battery life. In a months time, I charged the watch 1 time. So as far as battery life, it's spot on.The watch itself is rugged. I am a machinist and put the watch through it's paces daily, as well as the water resist/proof aspect, I have had no issues. Tons of apps you can use for exercise, sports, or just day-to-day things. Remember this is not an "answer/call" watch. You can receive calls, you can receive text, but you cannot respond to either.I love the HR monitor, sleep monitor steps and so no. Once you wear the watch a week, it starts keeping history for you through the Zepp app. I use it in conjunction with an iPhone, so the only drawback for me would be the updating/real-time weather. You have to go into the app and refresh it for it to show on the watch unless I am missing something. Other than that, the watch works great.You can use it to play your music, stop/play/skip to the next song/listen to the song again/or skip to the previous song. You have a ton of watch faces to choose from, using the Zepp app or you can download the Amazfaces app where you can find so many more. A boatload of free watch faces is available.The watch has a vibrating alarm, no sounds. It's what I call a quiet watch. I use it to wake up and I have no problem feeling the vibration alarm to wake me up. This watch is worth the money you pay for it. If at some point I do decide on another watch, it will be an Amzfit watch. This watch though will last me.I am very happy with it. Oh, also you can change bands as well, many are available on Amazon.Hope this review helps.

This is my second Amazfit watch. The first model was a more basic one and I was very happy with it and so I decided to upgrade to T-Rex Pro. I like everything about this watch. Size, battery life, water proof, shock resistant and software features. It does come with a compass, barometer, timer, stop watch and can log and track multiple sports activities. It also measures oxygen level and pulse. The oxygen level is the one that takes a while to measure but it is also the least feature I use. I only had an issue with call and app notifications. I am not sure if the root cause was that I used a VPN on my phone and the watch got confused with regards to time and location and messed up the synching with my apps. A factory reset of the watch took care of it. The watch also charges very fast and the charge lasts several days, it can easily last a week without charging. I never let it go too low on battery power so I wouldn't know the actual duration of the charge in relation to my use. Overall I am very happy with this watch.
