Neat. Note that battery life is reasonably good (2 years) even with Bluetooth sync feature.

I was about to ask that - I somehow doubt it will last 2 years if you keep the step counter + Bluetooth on.

shame it doesn't have notifications, otherwise it would be perfect

so I guess I'm staying on my third Amazfit Bip since Pebble Time 2 has insane price

Step counter seems like a bizarre thing to focus in on? are people passionately tracking steps without their phones?

I am not passionate about it but I like to make sure I'm moving a lot. I like that I can at a glance just see how much that's happened each day. I have one of these. Had one a while now and its the only watch I've ever used that I've stuck with and kept using.

It's still powered by a coin cell so it's probably for power conservation reasons. Way cheaper to periodically power on the BT radio and sync steps to your phone than it is to constantly listen for notifications.
