    Funnily enough, I was going to ask if the strap is not silicone as that ruins my skin. The pictures look like a fabric strap which would be ideal - has anybody received an order yet and can they confirm the strap type?

    14 day battery life sounds great.

    Just bought one too…nice bargain



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,098 ✭✭✭✭Kintarō Hattori


    Gosh that seems like great value OP, I've just ordered one. I currently have the smart band 9 which hilariously cost more than this does now.

    What's the catch?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 158 ✭✭extrafluff


    None that I can see. It's €205 on Amazon.ie €199 in Decathlon.

    There is a newer AmazFit Balance - the Balance 2 so it's likely that they're depleting stocks of the original one.

    For €30 it's worth a punt.

    Edit: Possibly the biggest 'catch' is that software/security updates won't continue for too long but it'll still work.

    I see it supports "Zepp Pay" appears to be limited to MasterCard.

    Anyone know of a way to get Visa payment via NFC?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,540 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    was never sure if the smart watch life was for me, but this is the kind of bargain to test the theory, cheers OP!

    You can get straps on temu for very cheap, I think they're 22mm.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,825 ✭✭✭Markus Antonius


    Is this something that just kind of hotspots off your phone and needs a constant bluetooth connection?

    I wonder if there is any custom firmware to really customise it!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,912 ✭✭✭✭rob316


    Nice one. Bought seems too good to miss out at this price



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,636 ✭✭✭dohouch


    Tempted was I, and after ordering twice I cancelled. Nothing wrong with the deal, in fact as a gadget geek, it's the best deal I've ever seen. Using a Miband 6+NFC and have an unsed spare. Why 2? Well just the difficulty returning battery containg stuff abroad, and love the 13 grams of Miband and no real use for the extra features on Amazfit Balance.

    🧐IMHO, God wants us all to ENJOY many,many ice-creams , 🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦

    Yes, it would get data off your phone via Bluetooth, but it has a GPS module built in. Some smart watches have WiFi modules built in but honestly, it WRECKS the battery so low energy Bluetooth is better.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 105 ✭✭bullmccabe2010


    Ordered one of these for myself at the reduced price. Decided to order one for my sister who lives in England and when I put in her delivery address the price changed to £201.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,137 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    It is a bit strange that it's not available in the UK since it's been ordered from Amazon UK. Maybe there is some batch of them they can't sell to the UK market for some reason and they are sending them here.

    I guess someone wants to monitor our heart rates here and cares deeply about our health.

    Or they are going to steal all our data and/or make the devices explode remotely ... but it's still worth it for 30 quid. Maybe it's the final bargain alert. 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,981 ✭✭✭jj880


    Strange olrite. So far Ive seen 3 different EU warehouses as starting points for tracking. Mine is coming from France. Others from Germany and Czech Republic.

    Dang it, I ordered both colours thinking I can pick one and shift the other later on adverts etc thinking this is a short term price glitch. Now that the "deal" is still there, everyone would have ordered their own, and I probably will end up giving the second one to the dog! :(



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,389 ✭✭✭Sigma101


    Wear one on each wrist, one to check the data on the other. I'm seriously considering two more for my ankles.

    Given this could be one of the last great bargain alerts I’m in 😀



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,421 ✭✭✭Rocket_GD


    My fellow @RocketRaccoon you convinced me and half of Boards on this one.

    Admins would prefer we paid for the subscription, if I end up selling mine to CEX I'll consider it.

    Israel do say we're the most anti-Semitic country in Europe so you may be on to something.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,137 ✭✭✭SuperBowserWorld


    I didn't know there was a colour option ?

    Think I'm getting the grey one..

    ... yes ... black one is more expensive.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,451 ✭✭✭positron


    I already have a Garmin on the other wrist. I may have to save these for some tactical gift'ing. :p



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 365 ✭✭Banjo Carney


    Hi I've just taken up the offer of a free trial of prime but when I go to this watch there's no option to buy. Any help appreciated TIA
