Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazfit Bip Max

  • The 2.07 inch screen shows a lot of information at once.
  • The screen at 3000 nits stays readable in direct sunlight.
  • The battery is rated for 20 days and lasts about 10 to 15 days in tests.
  • Strava and TrainingPeaks sync automatically once linked.
  • Offline maps can be loaded onto the watch.
  • There are 150 workout modes and a training calendar.

What we don't like about Amazfit Bip Max

  • There is no rotating crown, so long lists are harder to scroll.
  • The vibration is loud and rough, with no setting to soften it.
  • There is no NFC, so the watch cannot pay at checkout.
  • At 49.58 mm tall, the case is oversized on slim wrists.
  • Music cannot be stored on the watch, so playback needs a phone.

Verdict

A 2.07 inch screen is the thing to know about the Amazfit Bip Max, a big-faced fitness watch for people who want stats at a glance. It puts alerts and a route on screen without you raising the wrist to your face, and the display at 3000 nits is readable in direct sunlight. The battery is rated for 20 days, and in tests it lasted about 10 to 15 days with heart tracking on. There are 150 workout modes, a readiness score and offline maps you can load onto the watch. The trade-off is the size: the case is 49.58 mm tall, which looks out of place on slim wrists. It suits a buyer who wants clear stats, sleep and training data in one place, and who can live without NFC payments.
