The Amazfit Bip 3 has been launched in Brazil as the company updates its range of economical smart watches.
The Bip 3 is now live on Amazon Brazil, with a full range of specifications and features.
Amazfit smart watches generally offer good value, but if you’re looking for a low-cost one, the Bip range is around $ 59. Last time we saw the Beep U and the Beep U Pro, but the new Beep 3 seems to combine both in a unique offering.
The Beep 3 offers a slightly tight design, with a larger 1.69-inch TFT display. This is the biggest sacrifice here, using a lower resolution display panel (237ppi) that pales (literally) compared to the full AMOLED you’ll find on your more expensive watches.
It is still quite thin, measuring 44.2 x 36.6 x 7.6 mm.
It can still be used, but it contributes to a general feeling of cheapness in the device. However, the rest of Beep 3 resists scrutiny.
There is a PPG heart rate monitor and an integrated GPS. That means it’s a decent training partner and one of the cheapest GPS smart watches on the market.
The Zepp app, which powers the Amazfit smartwatch, is a decent workout and health tracker, and plays great with fitness platforms like Strava, making it a decent budget option for to cost-conscious runners.
It has a water resistance of 5 ATM, so it is good up to 50 meters and also has an integrated swimming track, along with more than 60 sports profiles.
And there’s an 11-day battery life, which should last a week of heavy use.
There has been a fierce battle at the end of the smartwatch market budget, with Xiaomi, Amazfit and people like Redmi and Poco aggressively launching watches below $ 100.
There is still no price in the US / EU for Beep 3, but the price of 249 Brazilian dollars (BRL) is around $ 52, just like the Beep U.
The latest Poco Watch from Xiaomi’s former subsidiary offers GPS and an AMOLED display for just € 79 ($ 84 / £ 66). However, Amazfit is one of the few budget smart watch brands that launches successfully in the United States, giving it a massive advantage.
We will update this in more detail when Bip 3 has a global release.
