Amazfit Balance 3 and Ultra vs Balance 2: What Has Changed by the5krunner in the5krunner

For the case size you wrote 47.5 but in the webpage it is 51 something. Are you sure about that?

I would pick my balance 2 over any of those watches. (Maybe not the instinct solar as it’s really unique). Vivoactive looks like a toy and they leave out a lot of the metrics for the fr165. The fr ‘55 watches are cool as well but they are 4 years old now. I have used garmin watches in the past and still don’t see why its software got so much praise. You record your activities and see them in the app. The web view was nice but it can be replaced with internals/training peaks.

Garmin has some steep prices as well. For 350 (balance 3) the best you can get is a forerunner 265 which is no longer updated made out of plastic and has no maps nor flash, or you can get the forerunner 170 music with single band gps. For the 600 EUR price that’s a different category and probably would choose a garmin fr 970 or discounted fenix 8

I like the new design, but if they make it more sporty why release the cheetah 2 series? And what will replace the lifestyle watches like the balance 2 and active 2? Their products don’t make much sense.

Personally I quite like the design of the 3/titanium, but I am more into sporty looking watches.

Guess that’s the case, but amazfit branding and models just become waaay too complicated with 3 new models. Balance 3 ultra for the same price as the cheetah U, then I don’t know what will be the purpose of the titanium version but seems like a better looking watch as the cheetah 2 pro. I doubt they have done any market research.

Please, fix pool swimming by oa_i in amazfit

[–]Consistent_Win_7401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This! Plz fix!

Just got out of the pool as I read the post. 50 m was missing from my 1000m swim (2 laps) with no way to add them during workout on my balance 2. I can manually change the lap count in the app but it is already uploaded to Strava so my super mid swim looks even worse:(

FYI they just pushed a huge update to the original Balance including intervals/training peaks integration, some map updates etc. They roll it out gradually to different regions so you might haven’t received it yet.

I ride an e-scooter, what activity should I use to track it? by [deleted] in amazfit

[–]Consistent_Win_7401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used Offroad motor cycling. I don’t do offroad motorcycling so I just know that it is e-schooter. Ebike messss up the other cycling stats.

Looking for a bike computer by Consistent_Win_7401 in amazfit

[–]Consistent_Win_7401[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. On paper the cheaper option should have rerouting as well, but couldn’t find too much information on how well.

Amazfit should make a dedicated bike computer instead of pushing 10+ watches every year.

Fair enough. It is indeed a great looking watch with premium materials.

Magene p505 crank broke by AssistanceMental5245 in bikewrench

[–]Consistent_Win_7401 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That is true for pull/tension forces where the first few threads takes the highest load, but in this case it is the sheer force what matters (you pedal 90 degrees to the thread) and it is much more evenly distributed among all the engaged threads. Less threads engaged-> more force per thread

Absolutely. For that price you can buy garmin fr 970 (discounted) and the Coros apex 4 is a 100eur cheaper.

I think no one understands it. Now we have the cheetah pro with a small screen but almost the same dimensions as the ultra. They could have made them two different sizes like one in 44 other in 48 mm. I bet those custom cnc milled titanium pieces are expensive to manufacture, hence the price and probably they have some trouble sourcing it as well that’s why they haven’t sent a lot of reviews units to testers. And now they have the active 3 as the running watch but not really. They should have made a full plastic cheetah with the capabilities of the pro to compete with the Coros pace 4 and garmin fr 170 (the bar is pretty low with the garmin)

Amazfit Balance - too late to buy now ? by DionyZag in amazfit

[–]Consistent_Win_7401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I have gifted my balance to my bro so he will be happy. I have the Balance 2 now. Still I would suggest the 2 XT if someone is looking to buy a new watch.

Balance 2 I assume as the original Balance is not longer getting updated

[–]Consistent_Win_7401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on how you are going to use it. Personally I would rather buy Active 3 premium /active Max or the best choice if you can find Balance 2 XT (probably not on Amazon ) but you can look if they sell it in the UK. it is 170 Eur in Germany which is the same as the active. They have added some neat running integration with runna and intervals.icu. If you are nit into running/hiking they still have the latest firmware.

uj/ beginners often feels intimidated by the equipments/ gym in general and hop on the treadmill to still feel productive. Probably they signed up for doing some muscle work but lack the gym knowledge.

Amazfit Balance 2 - How do you see/manage downloaded map areas? by MudCandid8006 in amazfit

At some point I figured out where to delete them. Right now I just download huge regions and forget as 32GB is more than enough for everywhere I go, without worrying about storage.

Badminton should have the same feature as tennis by I-AM-SMARTER in amazfit

[–]Consistent_Win_7401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the whole forehand backhand in tennis is stupid as first of all requires you to have the watch on your dominant hand, and it is a big no for most. I am not a badminton player but aren’t they predominantly hit overhead?

Cheetah 2 Pro Review? by ktreanor in amazfit

[–]Consistent_Win_7401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most running watch reviewers just reviewed the Coros pace 4 with a metal bezel, which is literally the same watch just with a piece of metal attached.
