It boasts the same large, colorful 1.91 TFT display as the Bip 5, making it easy to check notifications, health stats, and the time at a glance. However, the watch seems to be less curved than its predecessor.
The whole thing runs on Zepp OS 3.0 provides which offers a smooth user interface. Plus the watch offers excellent battery life that can last for 11 days on a single charge.
