It is usually not common for a smartwatch to get up to 20% off its price except a successor is about dropping in most cases. Especially when the device is the hot-selling Amazfit Bip with its amazing design, 30 days battery power and several other amazing features. But that is what is upon us presently as the Huami Amazfit Bip has got a $20 (20%) slash in its price and it looks like it is not a time-limited offer. The Apple Watch look-alike is presently on sale for $79.99 on Amazon as against the $99.99 price tag it adopted when it was launched in the US.
The recent price cut could be an indication that the Xiaomi-backed company may have got a successor in the works. The Bip was released in the first quarter of 2018 and is over one year already since it went on sale. But then, except the company is planning to throw in a surprise, there is no sign a new Huami smartwatch will be dropping soon.
As stated earlier, the Amazfit BIP looks similar to the Apple Watch. This means you can pick this device up if you desire an Apple Watch but can’t afford the high price tag. The BIP comes with a 1.28-inch always-on color touch display with a screen resolution of 176 x 176 pixels. The display is covered by a 2.5D layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It features IP68 dust and water resistance. The Bip also comes with PPG heart rate sensor, tri-axial acceleration sensor, geomagnetic sensor, barometric pressure sensor, GPS + GLONASS, and more. The device is compatible with Apple as well as Android-based devices.
The smartwatch is powered by a 190mAh battery which promises over 30 days of battery life with normal use or up to 45 days with minimal notifications on a single 2.5-hour charge. However, when using the device with GPS tracking, it only gets 22 hours on a charge.
The device supports activity tracking as well as sports and sleep tracking. Using the device, users can receive notifications for calls, messages, emails, and other apps. With multi-sport tracking, it tracks user’s runs, cycling and more with mapped routes, detailed stats and heart rate zones.
Three of the four color variants — Onyx Black, Cinnabar Red, and Kokoda Green are all available for $79.99 each. The White Cloud variant is presently listed as unavailable. For more details, you can check out our review of the Amazfit Bip.
