Amazfit Bip S vs Fitbit Ionic - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's check out the differences between the two Wearable Amazfit Bip S* and Fitbit Ionic* in detail.
Display
You'll get a display with both devices. Here, both Wearable have an integrated color display. In both cases, there is a touch display. The display of The Amazfit Bip S sports 1,28 " and is smaller than the Ionic. Here, the diameter is 1,40 ". You only get an always-on display with the Bip S.
Waterproof
Both, the Bip S, as well as the Ionic are waterproof, and have no further difference in this feature. Both Wearable can be used under water in depths of up to 50 m.
Battery
The Amazfit Bip S sports a longer battery runtime with 40 days. the Fitbit Ionic battery lasts merely for 5 days. With the GPS running, your battery won't last as long. the Amazfit Bip S battery with GPS on lasts longer with 22,0 hours. With the Fitbit Ionic its battery runtime is reduced to 10,0 hours. The charging time between the two differs. the Amazfit Bip S takes 43.953,0 hours, which is more than the Ionic's, that only takes 2,0 hours to recharge.
GPS
Both Wearable feature an integrated GPS. This will provide you with a higher accuracy than your smartphone's GPS. This is generally also called Connected GPS. GLONASS is only supported with the Bip S.
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 S 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 S. 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.
