Balance 46mm Smart Watch, NFC Contactless Payment, AI Fitness Coach, 14-Day Battery Life, Sleep & Health Monitoring, GPS, 150+ Sports Modes, Bluetooth Calls, AMOLED Screen for Android & iPhone

I’m really happy with my Amazfit Balance smartwatch. I’m not a gym nut or someone who spends hours working out, but I’m trying to improve my overall health and fitness levels, and this watch has been a great help with that. It keeps me more aware of my daily activity and encourages me to stay active and keep moving. The watch has a great fit, feels comfortable to wear and seems durable and well made. The display is bright, clear and easy to read, and there are so many features that I’ve only just scratched the surface of what it can do. Connectivity has also been good. It has built-in GPS, which I find quick to connect and calibrate when I’m out walking, so I can track my activities without any fuss. It’s also water resistant, which is reassuring for everyday use, although I personally won’t be testing that feature by deliberately submerging my watch in water — thank you very much! I’m sure some of the more high-end smartwatches offer significantly more features, but I’m perfectly happy with what mine offers and it does everything I need it to do. I even purchased insurance for peace of mind, but a few months in, the watch is still going strong and showing no signs of slowing down. It lasts approximately 10 days between charges - this is without all the features being used, such as receiving texts/phone calls on the watch. It lasts a bit less when I'm more active and track more workouts. Overall, a really good smartwatch for anyone who wants to keep an eye on their fitness and health without needing to be a serious fitness enthusiast.

I have tried many watches. From Huawei to Fitbit, Samsung to Garmin. And I always find I like some things but not others. I was intrigued by the new Venu 3 but couldn't justify the price. This watch peaked my curiosity as it had all the features I wanted, at a price I could bare. And looked great to boot. So far, I really like the app. While not quite as detailed as garmin, it's really not far off. GPS is fantastic. Locks on immediately and tracks whole way without any issues on small country track with barely any phone signal. I've tested the HR against a dedicated strap and it's pretty well spot on for live reads. Just keep in mind it only updates as often as you set it. The screen is fantastic and very responsive. Best I've had yet. Although it's big it is very slim and fits to the wrist well. I've shown a picture in comparison to a forerunner so you can see the difference. Still testing it out. But I am impressed so far. For the price point, it packs a punch. Missing the body battery from garmin I really like, while it has a morning readiness score and all day stress tracking its not quite the same. Still yet to determine whether I like their algorithms on the more fitness based items like workload and aerobic fitness so will see. I had felt like my forerunner was overestimating calories burnt during walks....and this watch seems to confirm my suspicion. As the calories on the same walk (I'm currently wearing a watch on either hand to test/compare) are a fair bit less on the balance. But somehow I feel its probably the more accurate answer if I'm being honest. Time will tell. Edit... and top tip for using zepp pay, as participating banks are limited in UK and Europe (as most smartwatch are tbh) you can easily sign up for Curve and use any of your cards through Curve and it works perfectly. Just a tip that was given to me. Cost is £5 to set up for the cost of card, if you dont want a subscription. Actually quite a good service.

At time of writing, I've owned this Amazfit Balance watch for almost a month. It is a replacement for a series 4 Apple watch. Initial impressions on opening the box was that it looked smart, a much nicer looking face than the familiar square looking alternatives. I downloaded the Zepp App and the watch performed a software update. it has since had a further software update. I advise learning the Zepp App and exploring its settings to get the best out of the watch. Initially, I had problems getting notifications, but that was down to me not sliding the notifications bars for each App in the settings. Be aware however, that some Apps on your phone may not push notifications to your watch. I have two banking Apps that do not activate notifications to my watch. So it doesn't really do NFC in the UK but I really don't actually care about that to be honest. Apparently there are ways around this, but you have to do the research and involves using a payment card from what I understand. The watch paired without issue to my iPhone 14 Pro and I've no issues whatsoever with connection dropping out. I make and receive calls just fine using the watch. For clarity, I use Esim, not that should make much difference. The battery life in my opinion, is superb. On average, I get 12 days between charges as opposed to the barely 24 hours from my previous smart watch. I genuinely like this watch over my previous watch. I find it simple to use. As with all products, you absolutely have to take the time to learn it's capabilities. I bought this watch from Amazon at a fantastic price during a promotion period. It is in my opinion, worth every penny over the more expensive alternatives.

Starting from NFC pay options - as everyone else mentioned you cannot use it out of the box you need to register with external parties which for me it's no go so NFC pay is actually usless. Battery life, that's actually decent not as good as my GTR2 but quality of the screen and other parts of the watch are much better. Still with Bluetooth all the time on and connected to my phone I can get easily 7 days with all notifications on. As watch only it will last way longer Performance is much better than any other AF watch I own. No lags, no jerky screen all as smooth as butter. Build quality - best details and feels way more premium than any other watch in this and above the price range. This is my main reason to own those watches they feel extremely well made. Body of the watch is superb + battery life and you cannot go wrong. Apps, fot features all there and good accuracy but I don't use it for sports - I enjoy sport without gadgets ;) Fits well in wrist and wristband lasts forever but again is easily changeable if you wish too. It would have been 5* but the NFC payments is big selling point of this watch yet I do not wish to share my details with 3rd party companies. This at least seems to be a problem in the UK done know about rest of the world.

I bought this as it got good reviews. My main criteria was to use it for store payments. Setting it up was a nightmare as it wants to know very personal information and will not proceed to next page until you input it. Then, trying to set up my credit cards it insisted on a 6 digit password again, against my wishes. After that, every time I tried to do ANYTHING on the watch, except check the time, it required the password input again. It then told me it could not use my Mastercard after I put in all my details but I would need to install a different app that I would use and that app would pay it over to their app! The watch could only be put down on it's side because of the stiffness of the strap. Awful. I returned it.

To back that statement up, I’ve previously used an Apple Watch Ultra, Samsung classic 6, ticwatch 3 pro ultra etc. I was sceptical about buying this brand as I had tried a blip model a couple of years back and it was awful (but it was cheap). The design is beautiful (I’ve gone for the black with silicone strap), it’s light, durable and looks the part. The slightly curved 1.5” screen is crystal clear with clarity of text with deep blacks, colours that pop and smooth transitions across the tiles and menus. It has so many features, way too many, like a jack of all trades when it comes to fitness but these do not overwhelm - you can chose what to be notified about etc. All readings are very accurate, comparison with a Fitbit band. Readings are also detailed and you can read more into them if that’s your thing. Maps and GPS are also very thorough. If you receive a WhatsApp or text message notification, you can reply to them via zepp flow, a virtual assistant- simply dictate your reply and send. I’ve found its accuracy spot on. Flow can also set you reminders, appointments, change your watch settings, play music etc - meaning you don’t always need to be swiping and tapping for functions. It also has Alexa built in. The companion app is clean and easy to understand. For around £200 it’s not cheap but neither expensive when you compare to other premium brands. Oh and the battery life, I’ve worn it solidly so far for 5 days and it’s used 20% battery - what’s not to like. Very highly recommend

Absolutely outstanding. Pros: The battery life - 8 days and I'm at 32% with every sensor on and sleep tracking. Outstanding. Watch faces - really good selection, not as big as Android or Apple watch selections but still good. Food logging - Gamechanger. Features AI to take and analyse photos of food to give realistic calorie values. Lost a decent amount of weight. GPS - mapped my local area through GPS for runs. Great feature. Cons: No android or apple pay - have to set up through Zepp pay which features giving bank details to a third party website - really not keen on the idea so won't use the feature. App list - app list isn't in any order and are icons only on a big honeycomb style app list. Find it very difficult to find what I'm looking for. Overall - 100% worth the money.

Loved the watch - except the poor step count. Tried against my current Fitbit and by coming my own steps. Against both it only recorded half the actual steps. Ended up returning. If you don't need or wasn't steps this is a great watch

Es un producto muy bueno!!! Lo recomiendo al 100, solamente que no se sincroniza la app von el cel en automático, debo entrar forzosamente a la app para que se actualice

Ich trage die Uhr jetzt seit knapp drei Wochen täglich und bin echt begeistert. Das AMOLED Display ist super scharf und lässt sich auch bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung perfekt ablesen. Die kontaktlose Bezahlfunktion hat nach der kurzen Einrichtung direkt im Supermarkt funktioniert was im Alltag extrem praktisch ist. Auch die Trainingsdaten und der Pulssensor liefern sehr genaue Werte beim Sport. Der Akku hält bei mir locker über eine Woche durch ohne das man nachladen muss. Absolut top Preis Leistungs Verhältnis.

Very good

Good battery life 8-10 days. Lot of sports preprogrammed. Unfortunately the NFC payments don't work because the Zepp pay doesn't work in the App.

Amazfit Balance: A Great Deal, with a Few Quirks After using the Amazfit Balance for over three months, I'm genuinely impressed. I managed to get it with a 40% discount, and for that price, it's an incredible value. It easily competes with other smartwatches in its category, especially with all the features packed into it. The NFC payments work great through the third-party company, the GPS is solid, and there’s a ton of training modes to play around with. I even tested its waterproof rating this summer in a lake, and it held up perfectly, no issues at all. The built-in mic and speakers are surprisingly good, both for taking calls and listening to a quick voice note. It also has a good variety of apps and all the standard smartwatch features you'd expect. A huge plus is how lightweight it feels—it's super comfortable to wear all day and night. The only real downside is that it feels a bit fragile. I definitely recommend getting a protective case for it, because it seems like it could scratch pretty easily. Also, the battery life is a bit different from what's advertised. They claim 14 days of "normal use," but that seems to exclude features like frequent heart rate monitoring. With heart rate checks every 1-5 minutes and other features turned on (just not the GPS), I get about 7-8 days, which is still fantastic in my opinion. All things considered, this watch has performed great, and I'm really happy with my purchase. It's a powerhouse for the price, especially with that discount!
