I Tested the Amazfit Bip 6. It’s Proof Good Smartwatches Don’t Need to Cost a Fortune
May 11, 2025
I’ll admit I judged the Amazfit Bip 6 by its low price tag. At $80, I didn’t expect it to hold its own, let alone compete with higher-end smartwatch rivals. But after a week of testing, I can say it’s more than just a good deal.
At a time when most smartwatches cost hundreds of dollars, the Bip 6 stands out because it goes beyond the basics. In my time testing the Bip 6, I found the fitness tracking to be solid, the advanced health metrics to be accurate and the battery life to last more than a week on a charge. Add in the fact that it works on Android and iPhone, and you have one of the few sub-$100 smartwatches that’s actually worth your time.
8.5/ 10
SCORE
Amazfit Bip 6
Pros
$80 price is much less than most watches
Works with Android and iOS
Great battery life (lasts a week with heavy use)
Tracks a wide variety of fitness activities accurately
Temperature tracking and advanced sleep monitoring
Cons
Single sizing option (44mm)
UI and app are unintuitive
Some health metrics are hard to interpret
Voice assistant is unreliable
Bluetooth range is short (especially on iPhone)
It’s not the most refined watch out there. Design and navigation feel clunky compared to pricier models, but this feels like a small price to pay (pun intended) for everything else the Amazfit Bip 6 delivers on.
If you’re after function over polish, the Amazfit Bip 6 makes for an easy, affordable entry point into the smartwatch world. It’s ideal for first-time smartwatch buyers who want to explore health and fitness tracking without spending big, and particularly appealing to iPhone users curious about smartwatches but hesitant to commit to an Apple Watch.
