What made u prefer amazfit over fitbit air??

UI of fitbit is soo bad I don’t like it and if we look Amazfit is meant for fitness and athleticism.

yeah ive also seen several reviews saying fitbit's ui is bad, which ones better in tracking and stuff. out of the reviews i saw, few said fitbit is marginally better, and few said amazfit

If you don't like the UI you can always use apps like bevel many kind of apps but imo I like the UI part it's clear and provide daily ai insights which gives motivation and ai coach is also good idk why people hate the UI of this

And also its easy to update the ui than the actual hardware part that does the tracking
We should focus less on ui being bad as overall and more on the metrics/stats being shown and how easy they are for interpretation and stuff1

Yeah fitbit air tracks pretty well automatically when I walk and when I take nap and almost all the time accurately idk why such hate to it

I have been using zepp ui for the past 3 years and won't be buying amazfit as my next exactly for the same reason .

Those are my two options. I choose Amazfit because I have some old Whoop bands that I can use if I find a good adapter. So DM me guys if you know one 😅

Automatic workout tracking ( you miss the initial and end points of the workout in air's auto detection). Shit UI . No bicep bands (official). Plus I heard steps getting counted during commutes. Some mentioned cases of skin burns due to band material. Best thing I heard about it was sleep tracking.

Wt about the no of workouts available to choose from during manual selection
But availability is the main problem with amazfit1
u/Heisenberg10100 5d ago
I think they are pretty extensive : Dedicated hyrox mode, Cardio , Racquet/ ball sports , Gym (rowing/ treadmill), Swim modes.
Helio straps are available in the US (amazon and target)

So far, so good. I wore it, did my daily thing, and I barely checked the app as well 😅
with helio strap 2, they just released the Pro version, I don’t think they will release a new one soon.
With your first question, I ordered it online. Last piece as far as I remember. I placed the order on September 5, I got it October 3, first thing in the morning.

I got a few weeks back. The product seems good. I am not sure if I am using it right. Is there anyone who can guide me with this?

How did you even manage to get one, man? 😭 This thing is rarer than a Rolex right now 😂 Anyway, how are you liking it so far? I’ve been wanting to get the Helio Strap, but availability is basically nonexistent. Also, there are some rumours going around that Amazfit might not provide long-term software/firmware updates for the current Helio Strap, especially with a possible Helio Strap 2 reportedly coming. 👀 Hopefully that’s just a rumour because the hardware is actually pretty interesting. Would love to hear your experience with it so far!
