    In terms of the fitness data, I haven't had much luck. But to be honest I haven't played around with it too much because I don't really care about fitness tracking on a smartwatch. I granted the amazfit access to the health app on my iPhone but it doesn't appear to be fully syncing. I also haven't been able to see myself closing the activity rings while using the amazfit.

    this was on sale on amazon prime but i ended up getting galaxy watch 4classic. i got 3 phones so whats annoying was i need to factory reset the samsung watch everytime i switch phones. whereas amazfit watches could switch on phones without any reset. i do have 1st gen trex and 1st gen GTR. now im thinking should i buy GTR 4 since its smoother in that regard but it isnt on sale now. im thinking it isnt worth 200usd plus taxes since it doesnt have ekg and some features that galaxy watch 4 has. i got the samsung watch for 180usd on amazon prime still a good deal aside that it has weaker battery and it isnt seemless when switching phones.

    The galaxy watch is definitely a good looking watch and that does sound like a good deal. I personally didn’t consider it much for me bc I figured if I’m not going with an AW I wanted to get the best battery I could with something that works well enough with the iPhone.

    Nice job :) I can’t see the description of my calendar entries in the notification: it only shows “Alert” and then it misses the whole point since I have to take the phone to see if it’s a doctor appointment or a mail to send. How does you native iPhone calendar show as notification on you watch?

    Good question! Unfortunately I no longer have the watch so I can’t exactly go in and figure out if this can be and how to set it up. When I was using the gtr-4, I would often reference the calendar on the watch but I don’t recall getting alerts for events 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I’m not sure I fully understand your question. If someone is calling, you can answer or end the call from the watch. You can silence the tone that the watch is making from the watch, but you can’t simply make the phone’s ringtone silent from the watch-only end the call.

    I prefer the always on display to be on all the time, so what has the better AOD brightness, the apple watch or the amazfit? If my phone is ringing in the other room, can I silent the ring from the amazfit watch ? Similarly can I silent the alarm ringing in iphone from amazfiit watch ? Is there any lag in the amazfit since the apple watch interface and animation have been on a different level for prolonged years? Without considering the price, I'm torn between buying an apple watch series 7 or an amazfit

  • @Enjoyyourcarry

    I’d say the AOD display brightness is the same-that is, if you’re talking about the gtr 4 and the latest couple of models of the AW. Can’t silence the phone ring or alarm on the iPhone from the Amazfit. Also, there is no lag at all with notifications going to the Amazfit compared to when I used an AW. Alexa on the Amazfit is not great at all and I kinda miss managing my email notifications like I used to do on AW. But I love that round design and battery life of Amazfit. I’m gonna do an update video soon on how my experience has been going…
