Design

As noted before. The Amazfit Neo is a vintage-inspired smartwatch for fitness and health. In external appearance, it reminds me of the old fashion Casio watch, a trendy iconic item sold in the 80s. But don’t get confused; it’s not an ordinary “dumb” look but a pretty advanced wearable that can be worn independently and operated with Amazift ‘Zepp’ mobile app, available for Android and Apple devices.

When it comes to both material and weight factors, the Amazfit Neo shell is made from ABS plastic and comes with a 20 cm length x 2 cm (width) strap made from a relatively soft Polyurethane (PUR) material. Because of the intelligent selection of materials, you get a super light product, weighing just 29g and making it an ideal pick for adults, especially children of all ages.


Operation

Based on our understanding. Operating the Amazfit Neo watch is a breeze. Most settings can be controlled throughout the phone or manually via the smartwatch operation buttons. To switch between different operating modes, you just use the up/down navigation keys until you reach the required way.

Operation Modes

Because the Amazfit Neo has a lot of exciting functions, and it’s almost impossible to cover them in detail, we will focus on the unique and relevant features we found in this product.

Backlight – A great option if you’re using the watch in low-light environments, including at night.

Manual

To manually turn option one, you press the ‘BACK’ button for a few seconds, and the display backlight turns on for a few seconds to give you a quick peek and then automatically shuts down.

Automatic

The automatic option is more advanced. It turns the backlight every time a wrist movement is detected. You can find the vote in the ‘Zepp’ App under Lift wrist to view info. Within the settings section, you can program or turn this option to work continuously for a day.

  • Display – The Amazfit Neo features a 1.2-inch Super-twisted nematic (STN) display panel that guarantees low power battery consumption and offers good visibility under direct sunlight, making it an excellent choice for outdoor activities. The display UI layout is very organized, composed of the date and day. In the top left corner of the display, your operation modes/status indicator is displayed as a series of icons according to selected modes.
  • 10+ Operation modes: Calories, Distance, DND, Heart rate, PAI, Stopwatch, Weather, World clock, Alarm, Call, (Battery Status).

  • Heart Rate – The 24/7 monitoring mode performed exceptionally well and was easy to operate. The function can be turned on without using the ‘Zepp.’ If you need more detailed information, the app offers detailed measurement information such as the day of the week and the time they were taken. You also have different heart rate zones divided into specific physiological categories: Relaxed, Light, Intensive, Aerobic, Anaerobic, and V̇O2 max (maximum rate of oxygen consumption) we didn’t test yet.
  • World Clock – displaying different time zones on the watch.
  • Weather – viewing current weather status and temperatures.

Charging

A 160 mAh lithium-ion polymer battery powers the Amazfit Neo. You can use a standard 5V – 500 mA USB Host to charge the watch. In terms of design, it’s simple and effective. The USB cable comes with a small base, which attaches with minimal pressure to two conductive contact points on the back of the watch.

Notifications

Phone Call Notification

The phone call notification worked well for us. When the user receives an incoming call, you first hear a notification beeping sound followed by the called ID name displayed in the watch upper area.

Language Support

Based on the user guide brochure translations to various languages. The Amazfit Neo watch supports up to +20 languages, including right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic.

The Amazfit Neo displays incoming call notifications in the Hebrew language.

Amazfit Neo Watch Call Notifications

Instant messaging (IM) 

On the less positive side, the watch doesn’t offer IM or text notification function, so the only notification you get is in the form of a beeping sound. Most users would probably find this missing feature disappointing as one of the main ideas of using a smartwatch is to read text notifications without taking the phone out of a small pocket/bag.


Software

We couldn’t figure out why the size of the ‘Zepp’ Android APP installation file size is about ~98 MB, which is significantly prominent for a mobile app. Leaving this issue aside, the app offers many exciting features under a reasonably organized UI. We liked the Short, sleep monitoring, and heart rate monitoring functions. Typical sports activities such as walking and running are also included and run jointly with the Google Maps service.
