Verdict
The Amazfit Bip 3 is a light fitness watch with about two weeks of battery, but without GPS or NFC it only works alongside a phone.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazfit Bip 3

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting 7 to 14 days depending on usage.
  • Great value for money, offering many features at a low price point.
  • Lightweight and comfortable design, making it easy to wear all day and night.
  • Simple and intuitive setup process through the Zepp companion app.
  • Large 1.69-inch color display that is easy to read indoors.
  • Water-resistant up to 5 ATM, suitable for swimming and showering.

What we don't like about Amazfit Bip 3

  • Patchy heart rate accuracy, especially during high-intensity exercise.
  • Lack of automatic brightness adjustment, requiring manual changes for outdoor use.
  • TFT display can be difficult to read in direct sunlight and lacks an 'always-on' mode.
  • Limited notification functionality; users can view but cannot reply to messages.
  • Inaccurate step counting in certain scenarios, such as when hands are stationary.
  • The plastic build and strap can feel cheap or cause discomfort for some users.

Verdict

The Amazfit Bip 3 is a budget-friendly smartwatch featuring a 1.69-inch TFT color display with a 240x280 resolution, a 280mAh battery offering up to 14 days of typical use, and 5 ATM water resistance. Its core strengths include comprehensive health monitoring via the BioTracker 2 PPG sensor (heart rate, SpO2, and sleep tracking), over 60 sports modes, and a lightweight 33g design. However, it lacks built-in GPS (relying on a connected smartphone), lacks an AMOLED panel for better brightness, and has faced criticism for inconsistent heart rate accuracy and a screen that can appear pixelated.
