I returned my amazfit bip almost immediately. It's too dim with the backlight off and looks like a toy with the backlight on. If you look for photos of real life usage you'll see what I mean. The wyze watch blew me away in terms of looks and battery life (especially considering the price), they must be selling at a loss. However I'm also not a fitness junkie so I don't use the watch heavily and can't report on how useful the watch actually is

Did you have the Bip (which iirc hasn't been sold officially for over a year now) or the Bip U/Bip Pro? The OG Bip screen is much more reflective. Here's an image of my Bip - https://i.imgur.com/DBzoDp5.jpg

That does look better than the display I remember. Though if you check out real life photos of the Wyze Watch I think you might be surprised at the quality

Actually I don't use the Pebble for fitness. I like having the weather, calendar, location, and sunrise/moon phase (though that depends on the watch face).
