NunoGood and honest review, Maybe @Amazfit can send this to the devs for further development?
Watch as bluetooth Remote control for phone media would be a perfect addition. I dont store any music on the device, i just dont think its handy.
As for slow, my device is not slow, Sometimes it takes like 1 seconds to unlock the screen and some "apps" take a sec to load but thats not a real problem IMO.
As for notifications i did not experience problems, I use a Xiaomi device with MIUI, All notifications work perfect. Are you sure your battery saver is not closing the apps? Or maybe this is an OS problem?

HoutwormSorry Houtworm for taking time to reply.
I use the Amazfit watch with an iPhone. Yes, I think there is some not-optimized relationship between the two... :-)
One other thing that is volatile in the notifications (from phone to watch) is managing wich will send notifications and wich don't. This is managed in the smartphone app, and it's contiuosly changing by itself. I'm contiuously pushing the mail ios app (for example) to the notifications I want to be sent to the watch. This specific notification doesn't work on a stable way and the app contiues to put it in the "disallowed apps"... SMS is another one not working fine. Calendar and Reminders, don't work at all, althouth these are apps which send most of alerts on my phone but they never get to the watch (and yes they are in the allowed apps to send notifications to the watch)... Which is a pity, because reminders is nice to just read them on the watch and keep moving...
Of course others things work great. For example it seams to me quinte detailed the sleep analysis... And a lot of notifications work fine between phone and watch.
Thank you for sharing your experience Houtworm. By the way, do you know where can I change the step daily goal in the phone amazfit app or the watch itself? And one other annoying thing: in the app all my sleep data is 1hour back (it says I went to sleep one hour earlier and got up 1 hour earlier... my regional settings are correct in the phone, in the app, and my town location is correctly identified by the watch... I just don't get why in the app sleep data is all 1 hour back...)
Thrank you again.

- The physycal design of the watch is one of its highest plus! It's very nice and stylish. Looks better on larger wrists (tipically will look nicer on male wrists). Some (green based) watch faces don't look so well on a "red oriented" design. I think the watch face that looks better is indeed the standard one, but depends on tastes. - Notifications on almost every notification that your smartphone shoots out, can go to the Amazfit Pace - Always on (dimmed screen light but still you can always watch the time without touching the clock). Besides this counts also on design. Notice, when you look to a clock on someone elses wrist it's ugly when you see a black dead screen. It seams the other person is wearing a broken or out of battery device. With amazfit your wrist always looks nicer. - Sleep analysis (but this is something a lot of smartwatches and this sort of devices do). - Alarm (the same, done by others) - Music locally stored it's a plus although I don't use nor plan to use the watch appart from the phone for long.
Now the cons: - The watch response is tipically quite slow. Try it on wake up (it requires a double tap, and reacts after 1-2 seconds) You never know if it is waking up, or needs another doubel tap... - Also on swiping reacts slowly, or opening a selected menu. - Reacts ok on swiping through notifications. - Music control (for locally stored music): it's the most basic control you can imagine. Play, stop, skip next or previous. Without any sort of navigation control on the files you just navigate with next/previous through all your locally files stored without really knowing the order the files are beeing red... It's really poor on music navigation... - There's very little or not interaction at all from watch to phone (excepto react to incoming phone calls). Ok for not being able to reply to messages, but at least a music bluetooth control comand - simply being able to play/stop next/previous volume up/down on the audio on the phone would be essential to control music being played on the phone. - the worst thing is that notifications is not stable. Some apps always work, others work once in a while. Even sms sometimes get to the watch, other times simply don't. I'll try to add more notes as I remember or notice them.
