Looking for "Smart"watch Recommendations
4wd:
Just a couple of notes on the BIP:
* For the basic stuff nothing other than the supplied app is required, (Mi Fit), so it's fine for Notifications, Step Counter, Heart Rate, Sleep Analysis, etc, etc.
* The BIP2 is soon to be available, (was available for pre-order for a short time) - 5ATM Water Resistance, slightly narrower, loses the Barometric sensor, albeit at a higher price - but it may prompt sales on the BIP1.
I think Apple has the best Smart Watch.-Sean123 (March 06, 2019, 06:04 PM)

I'm looking for a smartwatch that won't murder my bank, has good battery life, and that will let me view my [Android] phone's notifications without having to take it out of my pocket.-nite_monkey (March 06, 2019, 10:52 AM)

0 out of 3 ain't that bad ... I guess.

FWIW, by chance, I just came across this article at "makeuseof" about new Fitbits.

sold me on the apple watch, buying it right now!
Jokes aside, now I gotta go research the bip 2 and see if I need to wait for it or not.

Not really much concrete info available atm just hearsay, speculation, rumours, and wish lists. The pre-order page that was up is no longer accessible but the specs it had were similar to the BIP1 with the exceptions:
* 5ATM Water Resistance
* No Barometric sensor
* A little narrower
But I'd wait until it appeared on Amazfit's website before taking those as gospel.
