The Amazfit Bip U Pro is another impressive smartwatch that's surprisingly affordable.
AmazfitMother's Day is coming up sooner than you think: Sunday, May 9. If you're on the hunt for a great gift, I think this is a winner -- especially now that it's back on sale.
For a limited time, and while supplies last, the Amazfit Bip U Pro smartwatch is on sale for $59.30 at Amazon. Regular price: $70 (already a bargain). It's available in your choice of black, green or pink.
The Bip U Pro is, unsurprisingly, an upgraded version of the Bip U, which has been on the market for just a few months. There's little point in buying the latter when the Pro is just $10 more (sale prices notwithstanding) and adds one crucial feature: built-in GPS. It also adds built-in Alexa, which isn't nearly as crucial but can be nice to have.
Like the majority of Amazfit watches, this one packs in a wealth of features -- some implemented better than others, but overall a solid roster. It sports a razor-sharp 1.43-inch color screen, heart-rate and blood-oxygen monitors, over 60 sport modes, women's health tracking and a battery that's good for up to nine days.
What you don't get here is an always-on option. If that's important to you (or Mom), consider the Amazfit Bip S, which is currently on sale for $55 at Amazon and has a lower-resolution transflective screen. However, it offers only about 10 sport modes and no Alexa.
None of the Bip models let you reply to or dictate text messages, and they don't automatically detect workouts. The clunky, sometimes confusing companion app -- bafflingly named Zepp -- remains a thorn in the entire Amazfit lineup, but it's far from a deal-breaker.
Indeed, based on the couple weeks I've spent with the Bip U Pro, it might just be the star of that lineup. The hardware is pretty superb, the fitness features capable, the price borderline unbelievable.
