Good day, this is China Inspect
Almost more then one month I am using a new product of Huami company
Amazfit Verge. And today we will share with you
our experience and impression about this smart whatch
that cost 115$ (in China). Before the beginning
I note that all this time
I used the firmware in Chinese and
pass of more than 5 firmware updates
Probably now global firmware was released
so if I'm somewhere not
have good translation
do not swear. Ready, Go!
 
 
 
 
Start as tradition from repackage
watch arrived in that kind of box
 
Let's watch inside
We can observe a watch
 
 
And there is one more box
Inside we found a round charger with 4 connector
and currency 700 mAh, 5V
The last is instruction in Chinese language
that's all
Amazfit verge look quite good,
I would not say that the watch has a universal design,
the design of watch has a bias in sports style,
but I wear it with everyday clothes,
looks good,
The watch face has a diagonal of 43 mm, a thickness of 12.6 mm,
the watch is equipped with an AMOLED display
with a diagonal resolution of 360 points.
The screen is covered with a protective glass,
which also makes the display waterproof.
The body is made of high quality plastic on top of dark gray,
the inner part has a light gray color.
On the right side of the dial is an orange button "home",
also there is located the hole with microphone.
On the left side there is a large hole for the speaker.
On the inner side of the center is an element of
the heart rate monitor. The strap is made of durable
and elastic rubber material.
The length of the part with a clasp 70mm,
and 113mm length of the element with holes,
I counted 16 pieces. The strap is removable
and can be easily replaced if necessary.
The strap is very easy fix and nice to hold on to your hand.
Is fixed by a buckle with a tongue.
the weight of the device is only 46 grams.
The surface of the watch has
a coating that leaves almost no traces
and very easy to clean
In operation, the strap sits comfortably,
the only thing is that the watch is too bulging in thickness,
the first time often knocked on the door jambs, objects,
but eventually get used to avoid obstacles side.
As I mentioned, inside the clock is built
as a microphone and speaker, that is mean
it has cool features, which we'll talk about later.
Since there are holes, what about moisture protection?
 
According to the manufacturer watches have
the IP68 protection level
a complete protection against water, when submerged more than 1m.
But then the Amazfit engineers say that
it is not recommended to wear watch in the shower and even more to swim.
My guess is that this is due to just two holes
and the presence of a vibration element in the device
that can earn while swimming
and the water will get inside.
if I'm wrong in my guesses,
write your versions in the comments.
the device has a dual-core processor
with a frequency of 1.2 GHz, 512 MB of RAM,
4 GB of flash memory,
1.5GB is occupied by the system.
And on 2 GB you can download maps or music,
there is GPS and Glanas,
and the device has applications with maps.
In addition, there are both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules,
and also NFC.
According to the configuration of the hardware everything is amazing
especially do not forget about the price of only$115 (in China)
On autonomy here is a battery
of 390 mAh,
it is enough with a modest use of up to 5 days,
and it really is. But if you put
a constant connection with the phone, as well as constant heart rate control,
the battery will be enough for 2-3 days,
but if you still put here the coolest dynamic dial,
the battery life will be 1.5-2 days.
Well, now the most important and interesting
is the functionality,
and here at the moment is not so simple.
To begin with, I got Amazfit Verge
on 20 October, and I was worry about
the first firmware. It was a lot of bags
many functions such as maps did not work,
Btw it still don't work
We was thinking about return
Or will hope on  will hope for developers
that they will finish all this well
And we was lucky, it is done much better
Now many functions work well, but not all the same,
lags now many times less
At the time of shooting Amazfit not released
English firmware, that is why we will talk
about options shortly
With watch works a special application Amazfit,
you can easily
according to the instructions you can connect the watch.
You can register an account via e-mail,
facebook, google, xiaomi account or wechat.
Let me remind you that huami, is a sub brand of giant xiaomi.
After registering in the application,
you can fill in personal data, height, weight, gender, age,
so that helps to device calculates steps, calories more correctly.
When you open the application,
it automatically synchronizes with the watch
and checks for firmware updates.
Let's move on to the smart watch interface.
When you press the home button, the device interface opens,
swipe left to right, you can move through the widgets,
the left widget is a fixed organizer with a built-in intelligent assistant,
to the right are two custom widgets
that can be set up in the app
and the menu with widgets
In interface when pressing 'home', you will return to watch-face
when double pressing it is open AI assistent (in Chinese)
Let's talk about all widgets in detail.
Activity reports:
here you can find information of made steps daily/weekly
also sleep, goals, heart rates dynamics
Next is heart rate monitor
here you can measure the pulse, view a graph of the dynamics of measurements
or set the mode of constant monitoring of the pulse
sports modes: running, walking,
Cycling, training on simulators, uphill,
steeplechase, skiing, tennis and football.
All this is accompanied by constant monitoring of the pulse
as well as GPS tracking,
I note that the pedometer works quite well,
when running on a treadmill, the error was only 5%
Widget of sleep
the sleep mode has failures, that is,
to measure the sleep is not correct,
and not to measure the sleep of the day time.
training reports, here you can view detailed information
about activities, with a graph of the heart rate monitor
and other characteristics
Calling widget-
you can call any number of contacts,
including dialing, unfortunately
there is no search by name.
control Mijia- ability to control devices in the smart home system from Xiaomi
I was unable to test
due to I haven't smart home devises from Xiaomi
music-before you use this function,
you need to use the file Manager in the application amazfit
download files to the watch with music
then you can play music on the clock as an MP3 player,
both with the speaker and Bluetooth headphones
This is very cool options
weather app-here you can see the weather forecast
for 5 days in advance.
alarm clock that can be set by time and days of the week.
a timer and a stopwatch
that operate when the display is constantly on
next on the list organizer
then compass , radio application from xiaomi,
which requires the mandatory presence of
the app on the phone, next is built-in maps-
at the moment there are only maps of China
they work with a huge amount of bags
require constant connection to the smartphone,
despite the presence of loading maps in the memory of the watch
and GPS module
They are constantly slowing down system  and is not determined
by the current situation,I hope the developers have taken
this problem and make it well
Right  now it is an empty application.
after maps there is a remote TV Xiaomi
behind them are the watch settings, all in Chinese.
Also I used widget:
Alipay and NFC cards
 
unfortunately these widgets work only in China
and they work is very well
in the watch-face mode when swipe down
You can get a control panel like on the smartphone
which provides information about the weather
there are mode buttons-night, airplane,
sound and brightness control,
the power button and restart,
as well as the button to go to settings.
When swipe from the bottom, it will open
a window with notifications
it can be configured in the smartphone application
as well as when playing music on the smartphone,
there is a player to control the playback
it works hard, not always when press buttons have feedback
and there is a big delay,
despite this I almost always use it,
as it is very convenient.
Let's talk about settings
First is a connection to network by Wifi
or Bluetooth, by Bluetooth we connect to smartphone, earphone or speaker
smartphone, earphone or speaker. By Wifi we connect to
current Wifi network for update firmware or upload  maps
After that there is main settings
mode of clock, 24h or 12h
set up of a night mode,  a air mode
brightness, volume set ups
and set up of vibration mode
after main settings, there is watch-face setting
dial is always on
chose watch-face
after that security button. we can find smartphone by this function
data sets
power of, restart
update firmware and back up
main information about device
Top most used features are as follows
1) in the first place, of course,
the clock itself is
the most frequently used function,
by default, the clock is turned on
when you turn the hand,  the delay is minimal,
it turns on a smooth increase in brightness,
notice about the brightness, in the sun information
on the watch can be viewed if
the watch face is white,
the other colors are not visible.
Amazfit surprise us by the presence of 11 dials,
which
are constantly being added
with new firmware, you can also
download your dials,
as well as on other devices from Amazfit.
Personally I like: Rings and Spiked.
The spiked dial is very spectacular in neon style,
with a dynamic effect,
but consumes a lot of energy.
 
2) Features that are available only in China:
payment via
alipay and NFC. alipay I use almost everywhere,
in any store, cafe,
and NFC helps out when traveling in the subway.
 
Everything works quickly,
recharge the NFC cards can be used  in the application.
3) Messages and conversations - a very useful feature,
constantly receive messages from messengers,
and there is enough space on the screen
to quickly read them.
Answering calls with hands is also convenient,
it seems to be an unnecessary thing,
but in fact it turned out to be practical to use,
especially when hands are busy and there is no way to get the phone out of your pocket.
Interlocutor can hear well,
but the microphone is not working on the back end of the average quality.
This device does not have
the ability to answer calls from messengers
and send voice messages, as well as listen to them.
I hope the developers
will finalize these functions.
4) player Control, as well as built
n MP3-very often use, quite convenient.
5) Metrics, sleep, steps and recording workouts,
I do not know
where this data is then used,
but still use these functions.
About the maps - a very handy feature
for travelers and lovers of the bike ride,
especially in big cities,
unfortunately  it is terribly working
I hope, Amazfit in the future will fix it.
can make obvious conclusion
of course, Amazit the Verger is one of the best
smart watches in the range of $ 120,
 
they combine high-quality build,
stylish design
and decent functionality.
Therefore, I recommend to buy this device,
and if you think that there are more better device in same price category,
write the name of the smart watch
in the comments.
That's all
Thanks for your watching
