Amazfit Neo Sports Watch Smartwatch with Heart Rate and Stress Monitoring, 5 ATM Waterproof, Fitness and Activity Tracker with 37 Days of Battery Life, Green

Product Information

The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against dust, while the second number refers to protection against liquid.

The plastic body, lightweight design and polyurethane strap can be seen in Neo 2 like the previous one. You can easily gain an understanding of your physical state with one glance, thanks to the numerical PAI score. Two years after launching the Amazfit Neo, Amazfit is may be starting to think to launch the second version Amazfit Neo 2 in 2023.However, it can't be used for diving, water skiing, or other activities involving high-speed water flow or immersion in non-shallow water. The Amazfit Neo sports a retro design reminiscent of the wildly popular Casio watches of yesteryear, which will likely trigger nostalgic notes in many. In fact, the first one I’d been sent in the post had got crushed during postage (some heavy handed couriers) and the LCD screen was cracked. Long press the Select button to power on watch, the pairing prompt will be displayed on the screen after start-up. Before I wrap up this part of the review, I want to point out that the Amazfit Neo takes long to reconnect with the smartphone at times and data syncing is also slow.

There are two of them on the left side of the watch labeled Select and Back, and two on the right labeled Up and Down.

Looking over exercise records in the app showed split records for when the watch managed to capture GPS data, and when it didn’t. With no power-sapping color screen and a small array of features, we expected big battery numbers from the Neo. A couple of times I noticed that the watch wasn’t giving a very accurate heart rate either; I’d be working my way up a steep section, working quite hard, and then see that the heart rate had remained at 80bpm.

The watch obviously cannot measure these, but I did not notice any means of adding these in from the home page if I had access to the information. With Bluetooth compatibility for both iOS and Android, this watch allows you to stay connected with your phone without constantly checking it.

In addition, whenever you choose between the different sports modes, you can see different reports of these exercises through the application. It's also the cheapest smartwatch the company has launched this year, but is it a worthy addition to your wrist or has Huami cut one too many corners? While the internal battery on the Neo is superb, and will last for days, using this out in the mountains will cause a depletion in the power on your smartphone as your phone will be pinging satellites for GPS position.
