Is Amazfit Bip S Lite waterproof?
Amazfit Bip S Lite has a water resistance rating of 5ATM under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that Amazfit Stratos may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. It cannot be used when taking a shower/bath or diving into water.
Avoid pressing buttons on the device while it is underwater. This could allow water to enter into the casing and damage the device. Wipe with a dry cloth or tissue to make sure the device is completely dry before charging it or operating the touch screen.
The watch does not have a waterproofing effect on liquids that are aggressive such as acidic and alkaline solutions, chemical reagents, and the like. Damage or defects caused by misuse are not covered by the warranty.
What does 5ATM rating mean?
Water resistance is measured at a static or motionless state.
ATM or “atmospheres” is the amount of pressure a watch can withstand. 5ATM will withstand pressures equivalent to about 50 meters, or 164 ft under water. It is important to note that this is a measure of pressure NOT depth. 5ATM doesn't mean the watch can be used for diving to a depth of 50 meters.
Note: 1(ATM) = 101.325 (KPA)
Why isn't my Bip S Lite Charging?

Why my watch battery drains very fast?
Amazfit Bip S Lite can stay up to 3 Months basic use/ 40 days regular use.

30 days battery life is tested with the following use: a 30-minute workout each week, receive 100 notifications each day, and screen brightness level is set at 60%. Actual battery life may vary owing to differences in individual usage.

Fully charge the Bip S Lite to 100%, remove it from the charger, turn off Bluetooth on your phone, and leave it untouched for 24 hours. If power consumption is equal to or less than 3% in 24 hours, it means the battery is working normally. If it is greater than 3%, it means the battery is draining very fast.
Why won't my watch count steps when I start walking?
