Verdict
The Amazfit Pop 3R suits casual users with its traditional look, sun-readable screen and 10-plus days of battery, but clipped notifications hold it back.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazfit Pop 3R

  • Vibrant 1.43-inch AMOLED display with high resolution and good outdoor visibility
  • Premium design featuring a metallic round case and multiple strap options (silicon and stainless steel)
  • Excellent battery life, typically lasting between 7 to 12 days depending on usage
  • Functional Bluetooth calling with a loud speaker and clear microphone for indoor use
  • Competitive budget-friendly pricing
  • Smooth and responsive user interface with flawless swipe gestures

What we don't like about Amazfit Pop 3R

  • Limited and 'broken' notification system that often only displays the top half of messages
  • No built-in GPS, requiring a connected smartphone for outdoor activity tracking
  • Inability to reply to messages or notifications directly from the watch
  • Fitness and sleep tracking accuracy is less reliable than more expensive models
  • Uses the Zepp Active app instead of the standard Zepp app, which some users find less feature-rich
  • Lack of third-party app data synchronization (e.g., Google Fit or Strava)

Verdict

The Amazfit Pop 3R is a budget-friendly smartwatch featuring a circular 1.43-inch HD AMOLED display with a 466x466 resolution, 326 PPI, and always-on support. Its premium design consists of a metallic middle frame and buttons, complemented by an IP68 water-resistance rating and compatibility with the Zepp Active app for Android and iOS. Key characteristics include Bluetooth calling via a built-in microphone and speaker, over 100 sports modes, and 24-hour health tracking for heart rate, SpO2, and stress levels. Its main pros are the vibrant, high-quality display and an impressive battery life of up to 12 days on a single charge. However, notable cons include the lack of built-in GPS, potentially inaccurate step tracking compared to high-end models, and a limited notification system that sometimes truncates long messages or repeats alerts.
