Hard pass as Amazfit Bip owner, can this last at least 5 weeks with perfect outdoor sunlight visibility? After my original Bip broke, just bought used only for like 20 dollars, couldn't be happier. Tried the AMOLED watches, but could not get over battery life lasting 5 days instead 5 weeks and display requiring highest brightness to be visible outdoors compared to zero backlight on Bip.
- nucleardog 5y agoI mean, did you even look at it? It's an eink screen. I don't think you'll find better contrast in sunlight.
- Markoff 5y ago> With only time keeping, Watchy should have a battery life of 5-7 days, while with fetching data over WiFi, it should last between 2-3 days. These numbers can be extended through futher optimizations (e.g. sleep during off hours, waking up only on motion/tilt, etc.). https://watchy.sqfmi.com/docs/battery-life/ https://watchy.sqfmi.com/docs/battery-life/ Yes, I looked, and it's crap. Don't get me started on design/dimensions. I checked market few weeks ago and there is still nothing better than Amazfit Bip.
- NovemberWhiskey 5y agoHonestly, the state of the art here seems to be somewhere between some kind of advanced AMOLED (for shorter battery life but more brightness/color) and transreflective memory-in-pixel LCD (for longer battery life). I'm genuinely unsure e-ink offers any real benefits at this point.
- timonoko 5y agoI was also amazed with 30€ Amazfit Bip, mostly because you can make your own watchface. I did not know that. Being old and near-sighted, I needed bigger numbers and also analog watch. https://github.com/timonoko/Amazfit https://github.com/timonoko/Amazfit
