Product Information

The Amazfit Band 5 doesn’t have built-in GPS, so I needed to bring my phone along to map my outdoor activities. I liked being able to see my biking trail in the Zepp app ( iOS, Android) alongside the rest of my metrics, though. It even showed me at which points I slowed down to catch some ocean views and sped up through straightaways. Compared to the originalFitbit Sense, the Sense 2 features an upgraded design, interface and EDA sensor, making for Fitbit's most holistic smartwatch yet. An update to the stress-detecting EDA (electrodermal activity) sensor plays a large role in the device’s success: now called cEDA ('c' for continuous,) the sensor monitors stress levels or heightened responses throughout the day, prompting the user to take action on mood monitoring with Body Response notifications.

This product and the Zepp App are not medical devices and cannot be used for medical purposes, or as basis for diagnosis of any medical condition. Detection results are provided for reference only. Please consult professional medical institutions if you feel unwell. If that’s a sensor and metric that matters to you and you prefer a more advanced heart rate monitor, the Amazfit Band 5 is the one that can delivers those.

Like most wearables, then, the Amazfit Band 5 hasn’t quite figured out how to be a helpful gym buddy, but the options on offer are at least on a par with others at this price point. Running With The Amazfit Band 5 Our issue has always been around the software foundations that allow that hardware to shine, and while it’s still a little clunky and buggy in places, things on that front have improved massively. You’re getting well-presented health and fitness data along with useful insights into that data.

The way those features work are near identical based on using what appears to very similar software.Fortunately that wasn’t a problem in my experience with the Amazfit Band 5 – though your mileage may vary in every sense of the phrase. If you have a phone with overeager battery-saving tech, for example, you may find it’s reluctant to hand over accurate GPS data every time the band asks for an update. The display is also brighter on the Apple Watch 9, at 2,000 nits. That's double the brightness rating of the Apple Watch Series 8, making it easier to see your stats on the move. Thanks to all the performance upgrades, this is the best Apple Watch you can buy right now. For sleep, you're getting some pretty comprehensive data and insights. You can't view sleep data on the Band, so it's over to the app to see how well or badly you've slept.
