Amazfit has equipped the smartwtch with a 255 mAh battery, a capacity it claims should yield runtimes of up to 9 days between charges. The smartwatch should also take around 2 hours to recharge.

Additionally, the Bip U is waterproof up to 50 metres, allowing you to swim with it attached to your wrist. The smartwatch only weighs 31 g too and can measure blood-oxygen levels.
