Hey Brigitte. Privacy should be a concern with all wearables, I’m glad you bring it up! I haven’t come across any privacy issues with the Amazfit Bip.

You should certainly be careful with where you input sensitive data when signing up for any services. In terms of your trackable body metrics (weight, heart rate, GPS data, sleep data, etc.) these obviously can be tracked by your smart device. Most of these companies anonymize the information and I personally don’t feel insecure about it.

I think there is more of a risk when downloading and installing 3rd party items like apps and watch faces. No matter how vigorous the vetting process is, the user should make sure they’re downloading these add-ons from a reputable source.

I’m not sure there is any more risk from an “inexpensive” wearable vs. an “expensive” wearable. It’s all fairly relative. We know that the costs of the components don’t add up to even the lowest price the device is sold for. A lot of those additional costs come from marketing, regional certifications, packaging, etc.

Thank you for the great question!
