The watch’s two-tone color scheme is fun, with both dark and light grey portions on the version we reviewed, with availability in white and navy blue as well. The screen is slightly recessed, which adds a bit of protection, and in our month with the watch, there are no signs of wear on either the body or the display - mightily impressive!

The screen is a circular 1.3-inch 360x360 AMOLED panel, slightly recessed within an IP68 water and dust resistant casing. The watch’s two-tone finish looks fun, pairing dark and light grey off against one another in the version we reviewed, with the rubber strap taking on the darker tone, keeping things classy. Although it’s not a bad look as such, the design feels a bit more childlike than something you’d get from Samsung or Garmin. This isn’t helped by the rubbery wristband they come with, although you can snap these off via the release pins and replace with something more to your taste. Beware, though, a different strap might look a bit odd due to the way the bezel moulds into the top of the bands. The Verge isn’t too big or bulky, and neither is it heavy at just 46g. Its featherweight form can be attributed to its body being made of plastic, matched with a light rubber strap - none of that premium, weighty metal link or Milanese loop business. Notifications aren’t handled brilliantly by the Verge Lite. While messages are perfectly readable on the crisp AMOLED screen, they have a tendency to bunch up. If you’re out and about and receive a WhatsApp message, you may just glance at it on your wrist and continue with your day. But if you receive a second one from a different conversation, the watch will show the first until you’ve actively dismissed it. There’s also, at the time of writing, a bug that means your watch will keep buzzing with the phone call notification even after you answer your phone. You can dismiss this but it’ll start buzzing again after you hang up, weirdly. The screen is a 1.3-inch 360x360 AMOLED panel. Plenty sharp and plenty colourful, it pops nicely with the default watch face elegantly mirroring the red accents of the watch body.

For now, here’s what’s the same: both have 1.3in AMOLED displays with a resolution of 360 x 360 pixels and both have built-in GPS, heart-rate monitoring, ambient light sensors and IP68 waterproofing.

It's also being powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2500 chipset, which we've yet to see in any other device, so we can't be certain of how powerful it's going to be, although it should deliver enough power for the Amazfit Verge 2 to monitor your workouts. Amazfit is a Chinese smart wearable brand [2] established in September 2015 [3] and headquartered in Hefei. Its products are manufactured [4] and owned by Zepp Health. [5] The brand offers wearable devices including smartwatches, [6] fitness bands, [7] and equipment related to health and sports. [8] Setting up the watch is also different, depending on which model you get. While the Verge uses the Amazfit app, the Verge Lite requires you to install Xiaomi’s Mi Fit app – the same one users of the Xiaomi Mi Band have to use. That isn’t a problem given the company clearly doesn’t expect you to own both watches but it’s an oddity all the same. At the moment the Amazfit Verge 2 is only confirmed for Chinese markets; we've yet to learn a worldwide release date, although there's no guarantee the device will come to the UK, US or Australia.Wang Ziyan, ed.

In 2016, the first smartwatch of Amazfit was introduced. [11] In April 2017, it launched the Amazfit Health Band. [12] Both also have 390mAh batteries, which is a bit confusing given the first key difference, which is quoted battery life. Amazfit Verge vs Verge Lite: What’s the difference? Chan, Tim (January 13, 2020). "From 8K TVs to Stylish Smartglasses: The 11 Best Things We Saw at CES 2020". Robb Report. There are other smaller differences, too. The Verge has 4GB of on-board storage (although only about 1.9GB available to users), and the Lite only supports seven different exercises compared to its sibling’s 12 but that’s about it. Amazfit Verge and Verge Lite review: Price and competition The fun, light design of the Amazfit Verge is easily one of the most attractive features for wearers after something luxury in design yet light in nature. On the inside, it’s just as attractive as the watch features an OLED screen, dual-core processor, and five-day battery life.

Not too much difference there, which is a good sign. I’m inclined to trust the Garmin Forerunner 245 of these, because it almost always comes within 0.05km of 5km at parkrun, although it’s possible it was overestimating. That would put both Amazfits slightly off the pace, but not catastrophically so. Singh, Kuwar (September 10, 2018). "Apple's early-generation smartwatch rules a market where the iPhone is struggling". Quartz. Huami (a sub-brand of Xiaomi, and the name behind the Amazfit line) has confirmed that the watch will last for a single day on a full charge - it's a 420mAh cell - but we hope that estimate is on the conservative side, and that you won't have to charge the smartwatch up every night. You may consider these sacrifices worth making for the battery life and, for what it’s worth, Amazfit’s magic sauce is once again in evidence here. Over the duration of that 24-minute run with GPS switched on the Verge lost 3% of its battery, while the Lite lost just 2%. Amazfit says you can expect five days from the regular Verge or 20 days from the Lite and, if anything, these numbers may be selling both a tad short. Which is, obviously, hugely impressive.

The operating system is also different, which is a bit weird for two smartwatch siblings. Amazfit says that the Verge uses the Amazfit OS, which is “based on Android system”. Presumably this means Wear OS but, alas, I can’t confirm that. The Verge Lite, meanwhile, uses the same OS found on the Bip, which would go a long way to explaining how it delivers such impressive battery life. After the launch of Amazfit GTR series smartwatches, some problems were revealed, such as the screen was easy to be scratched and the positioning was severely shifted, which affected the usage.
