i installed some cheapass "tpu film". it's off by a mm though, so i'm not too confident abt the protection. there were also A LOT of air bubbles, which cheapened the appearance especially when the watch display is off. product description says the film will absorb(??) those bubbles within 48hrs. read that late so i scraped a lot lol, but i hope these bubbles do disappear π₯Ί
it's not glass, really just a film so i gotta be careful!
i don't take off my watch when i wash my face or wash the dishes. i got a bit paranoid because i see water seeping under the watch case. i don't like the idea of water getting trapped there, so i removed the case!
almost broke a nail or two, it was too tight! i was afraid i'd damage the watch face, good thing i didn't.
not super deal breaking for my needs though. i can say i got more active this week.
my planning and monitoring obsessed self plays well with the tracking and insights from having a fitness tracker.
for the price, which is basically one weekend deli/takeaway's worth (for 6people lol), so not bad!
location detection was quite good actually, and at least strava got a better sense of the calories. my gripes are actionable with mi fitness improvements.
hmmm, it's been 6 days and i'm a bit disappointed i've had to charge this early. to be fair, it's from 89% and now at 16% so about 12% per day?
i was projecting only 10% though based on the previous days, but today, i used gps. am also disappointed by how dumb it is, not detecting that i've finished my walk nor prompting me to check so it's on gps for abt 3hrs. that grossly miscalculated my burned calories,and i couldn't even edit it.
8% battery usage after 1 day!
-- double tap to wake, cover to sleep
-- 15s autolock
-- no raise-to-wake
-- workout autodetect on
-- continuous heart monitoring at per-minute intervals
-- stress monitoring all day π
-- idle alerts
-- advanced sleep monitoring
-- O2 measurements during sleep, every 30mins
-- notifications from other fitness apps (negligible)
-- incoming calls off
-- abt 8mins of light indoor exercise :3
4/4
- steps match with google fit on my phone
- spo2 makes sense
- only 1% usage from all the fiddling from the last two hours!
- it seemed small when i held it, but looks alright when worn
- no regrets choosing blue!
3/x
- just because Mi Fitness supports a metric doesn't mean the watch does. just cofirmed that move minutes is not supported. i really want the PAI metric, but i'm afraid it won't be supported
- glad it's waterproof, i can wear it while washing my face
- the stress metric is quite fascinating. i wonder how i'll fare when i'm at work tomorrow
- the steps counter and standing metric are already encouraging. it tracked me going back and forth to our fridge π
2/x
- it struggles with detecting my touches, even when bare. i was surprised actually that there's almost no change in touch detection between bare and with case. this doesn't stress me out... YET.
- UI has something like a short status bar at the top, where they unfortunately put buttons for going back or to view info. it takes abt 5 attempts to succeed. fortunately, they have the right swipe as another way to Go Back, just might take some getting used to.
the AMOLED display makes it a joy to behold :) it's a beauty, and the main reason i chose this over Amazfit Bip U.
the irony is that i'm immediately enclosing it in a case π
i just can't trust myself to keep my fingers clean at all times, and as a spacially-unaware person, there's a huge chance that i'll be banging the watch against walls and furniture.
