Amazfit Bip watch review

Purchased a Xiaomi Amazfit Bip A-1708 watch online through Amazon. Was using the TomTom watch earlier whose dial face got scrambled and so could not continue using it. Sad because it served me well for so many years. Could integrate TomTom with Strava so all the data was available to view on Strava as well as on Tom Tom web page. The statistics were all there - kms run, pace, cadence, elevation etc.

So got this watch, the cost was only Rs.5490 on Amazon and checked all the features online as well as confabulated with a couple of friends. It supposedly had basic features of a GPS tracker such as distance, time and pace. Struggled with the strava integration until a friend told me to do via Amazfit app. So that was also done and all ready for a run today morning. 

The first time I used Amazfit today morning, it was pouring continuously for hours together with no relent. So okay I decided to go out anyways for a run. The GPS started quickly but the dial face got off to the normal watch face so could not see anything on the watch - the distance, time, pace etc. Plus it was also raining heavily so the visibility was also poor. So no complaints on that count at least on the first day. I finished the run, switched it off, showed me a distance of 10.08 kms and also the running map. I was happy that the watch is working fine. But when I tried to log into Strava, there was no data. I tried Amazfit app to check whether today's data is logged in - nothing. Checked in MI Fit App - again zilch. So not at all happy. Checked my mobile whether the blue tooth is on or off. It was on but the integration has not happened. That is first day report. Hopefully will manage to navigate the features better as days go along and able to master the integration as well. Otherwise I am not happy with the watch on the first day. First day review 1/5
