Amazfit Bip S Lite

Until I randomly stumbled on the Amazfit booth while doing some final errands in the last hour of my time at the show. As I first approached, they had suckered a pile of people into doing a push-up contest of sorts. As I rounded the booth I could see the newly announced earbuds, and some of their watches. I poked at them for a few minutes.
I was then directed over the wall to another woman, who to my surprise, was on a totally different treadmill, with a gigantic cell-phone looking contraption in front of her. It looked like something from the future. Finally, not just another 8K TV at CES.
The workouts range from running/walking centered to ones that are more sculpt focused, as well as involving both weighted and unweighted workouts (since it comes with the weights). All of this is at a high level fairly similar to Peloton, both in pricing as well as features.
Hey Ray, the amazfit gps watches have massive market share (mainly in China). Any chance of doing a review on a few? They are really quite modestly priced compared to garmin and seem to do a good job.
The watch is easily found for purchase at $185 up to E199 (at supposedly official amazfit store for EU link to amazfit.shop [(for some reason when browsed on mobile it shows specs for the previous model]) so if it works close to what people at Amazfit claim it would be a bargain (unlike Coros wich went absurd with their prices).
I think the more interesting secondary piece though is that Amazfit has shown some interest in adopting open standards moreso than other companies. I actually think they could be talked into making this a more interesting treadmill beyond just the monthly subscription they want to push. Which in turn could make it more interesting for other athletes.
One thing which sort of bugs me about this treadmill design is that there is no bar at front. Not handy/secure in my opinion. I guess one of the reasons to remove it was that it will obscure that big monitor.
