First glimpse: a stylish and slim design
Amazfit Bip 5 Unity attracts attention from its slim and elegant design. The first good thing I felt was as soon as I grabbed it in hand. Its dial weighing 28 grams without strap was lighter as a feather. Even silicon strap was comparatively light. Due to light weight, it appears that the smartwatch comes with plastic builds, but its middle frame is designed with stainless steel, which affected me. With 10mm thickness, it is also quite thin from other models in the competition. For comparison, let us know that the thickness of more expensive BIP 5 is 11.2mm and its bottom frame is made of plastic. Certainly smartwatch feels strong, which should be handled by everyday wear-tier without any problem.
Anti-bacterial liquid silicon strap is available with BIP 5 unity, which is palace and soft. It supports quick release, which is easy to separate or return from dial. Overall, I found BIP 5 Unity build strong and design styles and at the same time it was comfortable to wear.
Displays & Software
Amazfit Bip 5 Unity has a Vibrant 1.91-inch TFT display. However, if the AMOLED display was found as a more cheap OnePlus Nord Watch, the display could get the title of all-rounder. However, in a short time usage I liked the display quality of BIP 5 Unity. Colors were Vived as well as there was no problem in reading the fine details in outdoor. Even in strong sunlight, the display showed clearance information, whether I have tested my heart rate, light-loving walking or have read notifications while moving.
It gets Zepp OS 3.0, which is a fitness-focused software. To make smartwatch fashionable and give a new look every day, it has more than 100 watch face. Many of these watchface also show you all the important details related to fitness on dial. It has a watch face according to everyone’s choice from classic analog design to modern digital interface.
Amazfit has placed the information of the chipset present in it behind the curtain, but I felt a lot of smooth UI. Going to separate tabs and swipe in the four directions was sharp without any legs. At the same time, the loading time of the apps was also comparatively low. It provides a single button in the right side on the frame, which is used to open the app, Alexa Voice Assistant Activate or Turn-off/Restart. You can see widgets, selected workout shortcuts and heart rate data, etc. by swiping the right or left on the home. At the same time, the down swipe from the top will take you to the quick togles and the swip from the bottom will show you notifications.

Amazfit Bip 5 has a lot for fitness in unity. It contains more than 120 sports modes, which is more than most models in rivals. It claims to automatically detect six workouts such as walking, running, treadmill, elipical, rowing machine. I wore it and walked in the indoor and found that it automatically detected indoor walking. With all these workouts, this swimming can also be used for swimming due to 5 ATM Water Resistance Build in BIP 5 Unity. This claims to store all the workouts in a organizated manner, so that you can track insights like your heart rate, calorie burn and recovery time on your mobile phone through the ZEPP app. Bip 5 Unity gets a Bluetooth 5.2 version to connect to the mobile.
Health tracking features
In Amazfit Bip 5 Unity, not only fitness but also health can also be tracked, for which it provides heart rate sensor, blood oxygen saturation sensor (SPO2), sleep monitoring and many other health tracking features. In my initial usage, I match its heart rate tracking data once or twice with data from two premium models of Apple and Samsung, then the results were almost the same. It also claims smartwatch stress monitoring. The company says that by wearing BIP 5 unity in the wrist, it records it to factors such as sleep quality, daytime nap, light or deep sleeping pattern and sleep breathing quality. Along with this smartwatch, women can also track their manstrual bicycle.
Battery, connectivity and other features
Amazfit claims that BIP 5 unity can last up to 11 days with general use. This makes it an ideal for those who either forget or laziness to apply their devices on charging from time to time. Bip 5 Unity also has a battery saver mode that claims to increase the battery life by 26 days. This mode prioritizes basic functionality such as timekeeping and stops the battery finishing features. However, it is important to note that the battery life may vary depending on the habits used. Paying continuously with the phone also affects the battery life. I did not get much time with it, so I cannot claim any claim about its exact battery life.
Amazfit BIP 5 gets pair with ZEPP app with 5 Unity smartphone. The pairing process was fast and easy. After the pair, the notifications on mobile can be seen in the smartwatch and music can be controlled. You can also find a paired smartphone through a watch. The company claims that Zepp OS gives you access to more than 70 apps and games that can be downloaded. It also shows Weather updates as well as alarms can also be set in it.
My initial opinion
Amazfit BIP 5 Unity has entered a competitive Indian smartwatch market, where its elder brother – BIP 5 is already present. With a price of Rs 6,999, this BIP 5 to about one thousand rupees expensive and its main rival OnePlus Nord Watch and Honor choice watch Is expensive than While I lost the lack of AMOLED display in it, the slim design equipped with its stainless steel frame also impressed me at first sight. It also has important features like Bluetooth calling along with rich sports mode and health tracking features. At the same time, the battery life claimed by the company also affects. However, the real performance of any device is detected only after putting it on the test.
