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.
