The new Amazfit Band 5 is official and becomes a great alternative to the Mi Band 5

Cheap wearables have democratized access to devices that not only collect data on our physical activity, but are perfect accessories for our health.

Amazfit is one of the main manufacturers of wearables on the market, especially when we talk about smartwatches with a lot of autonomy and cheap, like the Bip.

On this occasion Amazfit presents a bracelet that could perfectly compete with the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 , the star product among Chinese wearables. A new bracelet that debuts one of the star functions among wearables today.

Features of the Amazfit Band 5

The truth is that the bracelet looks very similar to Xiaomi’s Mi Band 5. With that characteristic oval shape. This has a 1.1-inch color OLED screen. It has an Always On mode that always keeps the screen on with minimal consumption, to see information about the time, steps taken or calories consumed.

It is a bracelet that has the Amazon Alexa assistant to be able to perform voice commands through them, something you can do thanks to an integrated microphone. It also has a speaker, so it is possible to receive voice messages and listen to them from the bracelet.

Undoubtedly one of the strengths of the Xiaomi bracelet is that of autonomy, and the Amazfit also boasts of it. Because it offers an autonomy of up to 25 days with a charge , as long as we make sensible use of the bracelet and we are not receiving notifications at all hours. In the case of using all sensors on a daily basis, it can be on for up to 15 days.

It is resistant to water , how could it be otherwise, up to five atmospheres, or what is the same, 50 meters deep, so we can swim with it without fear of damage. Because this bracelet is capable of tracking up to twelve different sports or physical activities.

Although undoubtedly one of its great novelties is that it can measure the level of oxygen in the blood . Do not expect something as precise as that of the new Apple Watch Series 6, but of course it will offer an estimate very close to reality.

There is a heart rate sensor too, so it not only records this data, but it can also track our sleep. Therefore, we are facing a more complete bracelet than the Xiaomi Mi Band 5. Of course, at the moment this Amazfit will not arrive in Spain, since it has been put on sale in the United States.

There it will have a price of 45 dollars, about 38 euros to change, a price similar to that of Xiaomi’s Mi Band 5 in Spain. We’ll see if it gets here, where Amazfit has an extensive range of devices, or if Xiaomi will decide to update its Mi Band range beforehand with a new similar model.
