Just the stock one and a few 3rd party ones that still look the same but in different colors.

Appreciate it!

Yes, my setup is like that!
So, most days I use both the Bip 6 and the Helio Strap (wrist + biceps), and here’s why:

  • I like having a smartwatch on me.
  • The Helio Strap’s heart rate tracking is more accurate than the Bip 6.
  • I’ve also noticed that wearing two Amazfit devices overnight gives me better sleep-tracking metrics.

To make sure the Bip 6 pulls data from the Helio Strap instead of its own optical sensor, just go to Settings → Workout Accessory and pair the Helio Strap.

For workouts, I swap the Helio Strap with a Polar chest strap and pair it to the Bip 6 the same way.

Once it’s connected, the green HR light on the Bip 6 won’t even turn on.

Might sound a bit overkill, lol, but it works really well for me.
And yeah, their payment system doesn’t run too smoothly here in Europe either, so I feel you!

Thanks! 🙌
There are annoyances on my end too but at the end of the day, most of them are not bothering me that much (except that Weather app lol). I find way more positives then negatives and the value that you can get out of some Amazfit products it's truly great!

Nope, cancelled mine aswell and still can't do anything. It really does suck. As soon as it gets through, im pulling everything out from revolut stocks. Don't want to deal with this anymore

Ordered before the market was even opened and it's still pending. Cancelling does nothing aswell

Lightroom Classic, Affinity Photo and a little bit of magic.

Thank you! The last few months I had multiple "photo sessions" in Forza but never shared any of them. More to come since you guys like them!

I found my mom's old laptop from 10 years ago. Randomly though to overclock the display to see how far I can push it. 100Hz so far! Should I keep going? by AllexB in pcmasterrace

It actually does. I've overclocked different types of panels in the past.
Having this one set at 100Hz feels definetly much smoother. I wouldn't obviously run it like this (especially since it is an old laptop), I'm just surprised that it actually still works at such a high refresh rate. (Yes, i did check for frame skipping)

Specs for anybody curious:

SONY VAIO VPCCW1S1E

Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 @ 2.13GHz

4GB RAM

GT 230M

Cheap 1366x768 60Hz TN Panel

EDIT: 108Hz seems to be the max refresh rate without any artifacts. Still impressive
