For a technology enthusiast, it took me a while to wrap my head around a concpept of
a smartwatch.
Maybe because as far as watches are concerned I prefer classic elegance which smartwatches
simply lack... but when it comes to running a smartwatch is a mandatory companion.
A while back I replaced a Magellan watch for thriatlets with the Amazfit Pace... is a $90
smartwatch straight from China worth your money?
Pace is a child of Huami, company specializing in wearable products, responsible for Xiaomi
Mi Band.
The watch is aesthetically pleasing.
Compact, round case measures a reasonable 45 mm so the watch will look ok on a slim
wrist of a cyclist as well as a larger hand of a body-builder.
Color display is surrounded by a ceramic ring which is very scratch resistant - I've been
using my watch for months now and there's not a single scratch.
Silicon strap comes in red or black and it suggests that Amazfit Pace is meant for various
sports activities.
The case 12 mm thick and on its bottom, there's a set of contacts and an optical heart rate
sensor.
On the side, there's a single physical button which is used to wake up the watch.
Pace is IP67 compliant, which means that you can go running in the rain and even dip your
hand in the water.
Amazfit Pace is configured using Amazfit watch app available for Android and iOS.
The setup process is straightforward and takes less than three minutes.
Pace's touch interface is surprisingly polished - screens are well designed and the user
interaction scenarios are intuitive.
Each feature can occupy a dedicated screen in main menu or it can be accessed from the
last screen which aggregates all other apps.
As far as displaying current time is concerned, Pace offers tens of different watch faces
From classic ones imitating analog watches to more advanced ones which display all sorts
of additional information.
The display is easily readable, especially in well-lit conditions.
When it's a little darker, the colors seem a little washed out.
It's worth noting that current time is displayed all the time and not only when you activate
the watch.
The screen lights up automatically when the built-in accelerometer detects hand movement.
The battery has 280 mAh capacity but Huami managed to implement quite efficient power
management system.
I run 3 times a week, 10 km at 4:45 pace, and I have to charge the watch every 5-6 days
which is a very good result.
Pace is charge via a small dock that you connect to your regular smartphone charger using a
micro usb cable.
Huami has defined a bunch of different physical activities that you can track with Amazfit
Pace.
Personally, I use it only for running, but it will do just as good job tracking some
casual cycling.
When it comes to recording data, Pace seems to be doing a very decent job counting the
distance.
Heart rate sensor reading is low during first 10-15 minutes of workout, but after that it's
pretty on par with the reading from a chest heart rate sensor.
The main activity monitoring screen can have 4 or 6 data fields.
Too bad Haumi doesn't allow for customizing that screen - I'm missing something as simple
as current time.
What does Amazfit do with recorded data?
Instead of creting yet another Endomondo, Huami decided to partner up with Strava, which
was a very wise move.
The watch syncs activity data with the smartphone app, which forwards the data over to Strava.
Interaction with the Amazfit Watch app isn't limited to transferring activity data as the
watch also downloads weather information as well as GPS satellites positions so the watch
can find them much quicker.
A very welcomed addition is the build in audio player which can stream music to headphones
connected over bluetooth.
What's important, is that Huami is still working hard on Pace's development - it frequently
publishes updates introducing new features and polishing existing ones.
Amazfit Pace with its superb battery life can be use on daily basis...
I wouldn't wear it with shirt, but with a more casual outfit - most definitely.
The watch can display push notifications forwarded from your smartphone... at least theoretically,
because I couldn't convince mine to cooperate although I know that others have no problem
with that...
I blame my aging smartphone for this and not the smartwatch itself.
Amazfit Pace is a surprisingly good product.
It's not very suitable for professional runners but it will be more than enough for amateurs
such as myself.
On Gearbest.com, you can get Pace for less then $90 and it most certainly won't be money
down the drain.
Thanks very much for watching...
