This is my current front runner. Thoughts?
Reviews seem to be mixed depending on where you look, but mostly favorable.

This is another option, but no price benefit and I'm not sure that I see anything that I like "better". Solid, but seems like a secondary choice. And not from Huomi. Huomi is a big plus to the Amazbit.

Solid watch.
And Dominica just ordered it for me

She just bought the Huomi Amazfit Bip for herself, too.

Sweet. Don't forget to do a review. I have a fitbit ionic. I got it for free and really only use it for the time and pedometer function.

Definitely will. It's for some hard core use traveling Europe in a few weeks. So these will be covered thoroughly!

In detail...
Athens > Santorini > Chania Crete > Rome > Naples & Pompeii > Montecatini Terme > Florence > Luzerne > Paris > Barcelona

For those not familiar with Montecatini Terme.... it is where the opening song / bombing in the first scene of White Christmas is set in Tuscany. That's where Bing Crosby is rescued by Danny Kaye from the falling building.

Now I know where you are talking about. Love that movie.

That is a great trip. I just saw the Pompeii exhibit at the Reagan library in March. Very interesting.

I don't see anywhere it mentions that this watch runs Google Wear OS. Was that supposed to be a requirement?

Just because it's compatible with an Android device doesn't mean it runs Google's Wear OS. Fitbit doesn't run Wear OS, yet it connects to Android phones. Two separate things.

You download the software to run the smart watch .Do you understand what Wear OS is? It's not an app for Android. It's a watch operating system. My Fitbit has an app that runs on an Android phone. It does not run Wear OS. It runs its own OS that then communicates with my Android phone via the Fitbit app in the Google Play Store. The same appears to be true about the Amazfit watch.
