As far as functionality, Amazfit Band 5 does everything that Mi Band 5 does and more. As mentioned, Huami manufactures both so the quality of readings should not differ. The way those features work are near identical based on using what appears to very similar software. The radio waves generated by the equipment may affect the normal operation of implanted medical equipment or personal medical equipment, such as pacemakers and hearing aids. If you use these devices, please consult their manufacturers for restrictions on using this device.

Amazfit Band 5 review - Which?

Indoors its a breeze. You can read absolutely everything, no problem. Outdoors and in direct sunlight it becomes much more difficult. This is not helped by the fact that some of the text is really small. Additionally, therean automatic activity detection option that can be enabled in the settings. This tries to figure out if you are doing exercise and automatically increases heart rate sampling if it sees that you are active. Given Huami manufactures the Mi Band for Xiaomi, there's a lot of crossover in terms of design. And there's not been a huge effort to make the Mi Band 6 and the Amazfit Band 5 look all that different. It's got a 5ATM waterproof rating, which means it's safe for showering and a swim up to 50 meters' depth. The color display works well, although it is difficult to read in the sunlight. The touch functionality takes some getting used to.

Alexa will be available via OTA update.

Now, we think this might be a combination of things. It may be that the Band didn't sit tight enough, despite using it on the tightest fit option available. There must be some software issues here too. All things considered the fitness band presents good value for money.It makes sense to go for this instead of the Xiaomi Mi Band 5. The price difference is negligible but the Amazfit product offers more.

You manually set the value and if there is no obvious activity and your heart rate is above it, you’ll get a notification. You get a nice breakdown in the apps including the total time those steps were generated from. You can also see weekly and monthly trends if you want to see if you're stepping more or less over time. hour monitoring of heart rate and blood-oxygen saturation (SpO 2) need to be enabled in the Zepp App. For heart rate monitoring, the user must enable Auto Heart Rate Monitor in the Zepp App, and the minimum value can be set to 1 minute. Abnormal heart rate alerts and the preset value need to be set in the Zepp App. To measure blood-oxygen saturation (SpO 2), please wear the device tightly at one finger-width from the wrist, and keep your arm still for best results. SpO 2 alerts are sent if the detected rate is too low compared to the preset value, which needs to be set in the Zepp App, at a minimum of 80%. Movement, and environmental and physical characteristics can affect speed and accuracy of monitoring and measurement. The 24-hour stress level monitoring needs to be enabled on the device or in the Zepp App. Alerts for high stress levels are based on the preset value, and prompts for the breathing exercise need to be enabled on the device.
