The priciest smartwatch on this list doesn’t have as many features as its pricier sibling, the Amazfit GTS, but it’s here for good reason. Its 1.3-inch TFT touchscreen stays on at all times, similar to the Apple Watch Series 6, Galaxy Watch 3, TicWatch Pro, and Fitbit’s Inspire and Sense watches, so you won’t have to raise your wrist every time you want the time. The touchscreen doesn’t look as premium as more expensive watches, but this watch does have a backlight.
The Bip S also has built-in GPS, so you can leave your phone behind when you’re out for a run or another outdoor workout. It has the most robust exercise tracking, too, with support for 10 workout types: running, cycling, elliptical, treadmill cardio, walking, spin, weights/freestyle, yoga, and indoor/outdoor swimming. It also automatically pauses your workout when it detects you haven’t moved for a while. This affordable smartwatch has the biggest selection of watch faces to choose from, plus the option to customize some of the metrics displayed — like weather, activity tracking, or heart rate monitoring.
As for battery life, the company claims the Bip S can get up to 40 days of use on standby. But with regular use, including a few GPS workouts, you’re more likely to get 15 days between charges.
