How is this watch? I have a garmin 225 so I doubt I'd want to switch to this but I'm very curious because of its low price.

Fcchelsea136The Amazfit Pace is closer to the Forerunner 235 in functionality but has longer battery life, on-board media storage for phone-free running, WiFi and supports more sports modes.
Amazfit1) What is the battery life? I wore a Pebble for years, 24 hours a day except for charging. Initially it went almost 7 days without recharging, which was key for me because I used it as an alarm clock. As much as possible, I would charge it during the day so that it could wake me up in the morning. The initial Apple Smartwatch better life was less that one day; I'm not sure if their newer models have longer battery life or not.
2) Will you have only one watch face, or are more in the works? Will private developers be able to share their own watchfaces with customers for no or nominal fees down the road?
Thanks in advance!

dvorcolHi @dvorcol,
1) The average battery life is about one week on a single charge, up to 11 days without the constant BT notifications or sports tracking. 35 hours with continuous GPS tracking and heart rate monitor active (enough to track pretty much any long-distance race). And that with an always-on color LCD touch screen. See "I managed to get around 7 days of use out of it on a single charge which is insane" - Phandroid http://phandroid.com/2017/04/20/amazfit-pace-smartwatch-review/
2) We currently have 18 watch faces available (see below), 3 watch faces allow for custom background pictures (upload your own image or photo) and many watch faces allow for further customizations (eg. show battery life vs. daily calorie or step count, different indicators, background, hands, date, etc). Plus we are adding more with future updates. We also want to open it up for private developers to submit their watch faces but that's not implemented just yet. Custom watch face examples here: https://twitter.com/amazfit/status/852577842474885120 or https://twitter.com/amazfit/status/842801397275881472
Cheers, Frederik
