Colour as usual from Xiaomi many holes so that everyone can set their own wrist accordingly, with this largest providing comfort (For MI Band 4 straps you can fit the Amazfit Band 5, but not

The clock Waterproof up to 5 ATM, which means that either 50 metres deepyou can take it underwater with you without any problems. The positive aspect is that you don't have to take it off when showering. As no screen lock (I mean, I couldn't find it, even though I searched a lot), the water sometimes can you squeeze it the activity meter, which can be annoying.
Colour and touch-sensitive displayyou get, 
the resolution of which 126×294. This number of pixels may seem low at first, but it's not at all, because it's 1.1"-so the user gets a pretty sharp picture. The display AMOLED, so this also plays a role in the fantastic uptimebut I will come to that later. This is a 2.5D, fingerprint-repellent layerprotected by gel-coated glass. Lots of timesheets to choose from and even our own picturecan also be set as the home screen. In addition, the screen that appears when you unlock information groupsat is we can customise, so a really a unique and perfect experienceproviding the user with.
According to Battery size may not sound big, 125 mAh, but this is enough to keep the clock running 13-15 daysto keep it alive for general use. Of course, this can be more or less depending on usage. If you don't monitor your body all day, you're basically just using it as a clock with notifications, so you can up to 25 dayscan also work up to. 
This is a rather extreme case, so I don't think it's really relevant. The activity meter is about. Can be uploaded in 2 hours completely.

System
If I had to describe the Amazfit Band 5 system in two words, it would be simple and user-friendly would be. Big icons are on the clock, you don't have to lift it too close to your face if you can't see something clearly. options for timesheetsthe number of practically infiniteand there are several that can be customised (but the watch itself can only hold 2 dials). Already the accents also who knows Signalsthe device, it doesn't write question marks in its place like the MI Band 4 (even it can't handle emojis). 
The order of menu items from the Zepp app customisable, so to move the most frequently used functions closest to the home screen. The system well transparent, we can keep track of our activities for the day in the classroom, our "Status" menu item below, or 11 types of sport to choose from, if you feel like moving. The iweather is Follow up we know follow from 
activation meter, so you don't even need to take out your phone. Under "Weather" you can find out the Temperature data, the wind strength, the chance of precipitation, the UV radiation levels is. In addition 1 week in advance can be seen at how many degrees Celsius we can expect. You can also follow our pre-planned programmes and events from the activation meter on the "Events" menu item so we only really need to take our phone out of our pocket for more complex tasks, as the Amazfit Band 5 already tells us a lot of information.
Phone app (Zepp)
The Amazfit Band 5 is the "Zepp" called applicationwhich is very similar to the MI Fit; you have similar settings, almost identical icons, so the Amazfit can't deny that it's a Xiaomi sub-brand. At the top of the app's home screen you can follow, that how much is we slept in the night, how many steps we have takenhow much more we need to achieve our goal, how many calories we burned ma. Also scroll down to see the last measured pulseunkat, stress levelsall this in the blood oxygen levelsus and PAI numberabove. But what is the PAI? The PAI is Personal Activity Intelligence-which can be increased by carrying out different activities. The aim is to keep our health, pay attention to regular exercise.
According to "Enjoy" menu during a few, usually most frequently used menu itembut you can only really find them in the "Profile" under point can be customised our beloved activation meter and set our goals, we can look back our past activitieset and dubwe will use our data to WeChat-tel, Google Fittel, Strava-val, Relive-or with the Amazon Alexaval. If click on here is the Amazfit Band 5-is revealed to us, before our eyes lots of options. Here you can customise your dial, set the our activation meterto as an unblocking tool to our phone. 
You can also personalise it, how to react our Anafit Band 5 is the incoming calls, SMS, notifications. You can set newj eventsor even the our alarm clockin order to vibrate in the hope of awakening. We also have the opportunity to contact the activity meter, in the case where we did not move for some time now, with this Watching from Cheers. From the app, we can "search" our band. If we use this, the activity meter starts to vibrate, making it easier to find. And below that, you can set when your Band 5 is really active, which wrist you wear it on, and fine-tune options like that.
Sport - How accurate are the data?
The Amazfit Band 5 11 from sport modecan distinguish:
- outdoor running
- walk
- cycling
- use of a treadmill
- swimming in a pool
- Freestyle
- indoor cycling
- Elliptical trainer
- skipping rope
- Yoga
- paddleboard
For each type of movement mode shows from elapsed time, calories burned, heart rate, and if you choose an outdoor sport, the distance covered also monitors. Since the activity meter no GPS found module, so it is important that when we can, connect it to your phone for an accurate result. I also did a test on this, compared from MI Band with 4; both bracelets 1 km run after indicating the exact distance, maximum deviation of 1% during the test period. In contrast without phone over the same distance (i.e. 1 km) in Xiaomi MI (Smart) Band 4 0.57 km even the Amazfit Band 5 0.66 km indicated. 
According to more recent generation activity meter though more precise but even without a phone in the deviation 34% was. If it is possible to bring a phone, in which case worth a launch from mobile the sport programme to certainly you can save our activities. I've had more than once (not just with this activity tracker) that I either couldn't look back at my run or it recorded wrong/incorrect data, but this never happens once when I press the "GO" button on my phone. During training, if the "Do not disturb" mode is not activated, the notifications are flashing on the activity meter.
Health - How reliable are the measurements?
The Amazfit Band 5 is very wide range measurementcan implement. These are of course non-medical instrument are accurate, but for information purposesek. Very few people measure and on a daily basis your pulse, blood oxygen levels, so that with this device more quickly noticeable a possible development of disease. In addition, the Women can be very useful for cycle tracking, which can optionally be set as a main menu item. In addition to this, you can also monitor we can follow from the quality of our sleep and length is. This activity meter can now to recognise the sleep 3 main phase, the light and deep sleepand the REM phaset (in short, this is the state when we dream), so it's a pretty accurate picturethat we can get from about evening classes. It is also important to mention here the PAI-which is the general healthbut I've explained this before. Stress levelswe know ourselves measure, and if this is considered high, the clock can breathing exercise deductiona sense of well-being that can take some of the stress away.
Special features - Amazon Alexa
The functions just mentioned are measurement of blood oxygen levelsI addition (which is a really noteworthy) feature many activity meters can. This raises the question for the buyer why choose this one? This is where the extra features list of which abounds the Amazfit Band 5. The main plus is the Amazon Alexa in my opinion, because with a flick of a page and in one sentence virtually we can set anything. This is a convenience feature, of course you can live without it, but if there is such an activity meter, why not use it? In one sentence you can set from our alarm clock, so you don't even need to take out your phone, saving you a few seconds. It is true that no speakers in the activity meter, but enough large lettersthe display will show Alexa's response in order to easy to read. Unfortunately this feature English only and only works if the activity meter about is the by phone,
but to do this minimum knowledge of English is enough. A stress level measurementand the breathing exercise conductionas a special feature, since it is also a uniquein this segment. Another factor in the choice may be that the 
you can take a photo of the activity meter, so there's no need to fiddle with the timer, you can take a family photo in practically a few clicks, without any rush. And on our Amazfit Band 5 control the music, skip, turn up, turn down the song you are listening to. Even the "World clock", there is also a world clock menu on the clock, in case you wonder what time it is e.g. Beijingin or Sydneyben.
Disadvantages
Very few there was one thing I didn't like about the class. I prefer just little thingsI would mention. Retrieved from accented lettersto a minimum, but displays in a smaller sizethan their peers. None included in NFC, so we cannot pay contactlessly, and none included in GPS so if you want to get accurate distance data, take at with us to our phone is. I should also mention here that the flowing water can you squeeze it our bracelets, which can be distracting. It is also important to note that during a training programme no other functions can be used on the activity meter, unfortunately.
Summary
The Amazfit Band 5 many functionsthanks to a very good activity meter. User-friendly system, many health featuresand keep you informedand inform the user of its status.
