Waterproof

Both, the Bip Lite, as well as the Ionic are waterproof, and have no further difference in this feature. The Bip Lite can only be used up to 30 m under water. Here, the Fitbit Ionic is waterproof up to 50 m and wins this part of the comparison.

Battery

With GPS running, the battery of the Fitbit Ionic is reduced to run for 10,0 hours. The charging time between the two differs. the Amazfit Bip Lite takes 2,5 hours, which is more than the Ionic's, that only takes 2,0 hours to recharge.

GPS

Comparing the two Wearable, only the the Fitbit Ionic has integrated GPS. The GLONASS technology is only available with the Ionic. the Amazfit Bip Lite offers you the possibility to use Connected GPS. For that, your smartphone's GPS data are used, which means you'll have to carry your phone with you. A drawback to this is the accuracy of your location since your phone's signal can be lost at times.

Heart Rate Monitor

A fitness watch without a heart rate monitor is basically useless and not advisable to buy. That's because your heart rate is one of the key elements of different calculations. For example, many devices without a heart rate monitor claim to count your calories burned too. That number will hardly be right without having access to your heart rate.

Comparing the Amazfit Bip Lite and the Fitbit Ionic, both devices offer the heart rate monitor function and score in our books. On top of that, both will monitor your heart rate 24/7. Some devices only do that when you press a button, which is practically speaking rather useless.

Measured values

The number of floors you've covered, or altitude differences measured by your watch, can't be tracked with the Bip Lite. Only the Ionic supports this function.

Both Wearable offer you the possibility to record your sleep time. On top of that, they also allow you to do a sleep analysis.

Smarct functions

Getting call, text, or other notifications is a feature that both tools have. Often times, this feature is only possible with an Android device. iOS user can be left behind on this.

Contactless payment

Contactless payment is a highly useful and more in demand than ever technology. Many Wearable already offer it. Being able to do this from your wrist is even more convenient than using your smartphone or a credit card. There's a difference here between the two products, as only the Ionic enables you to pay contactless. The Ionic works with Fitbit Pay.
