Side-by-Side Comparison

|---|---|---|
| Price | $59.99 | $79.99 |
| Release Year | 2024 | 2025 |
| GPS | None — no GPS chip. It uses the paired phone's location; without a phone it estimates distance from the accelerometer and reviewers measured it undermeasuring a 5km track by 50m or more | Built-in GNSS across five satellite systems, with free offline maps — no phone required for route or pace |
| Display | 1.6-inch AMOLED touchscreen with optional always-on mode | 1.97-inch AMOLED touchscreen |
| Rated Battery Life ( days) | 13 | 14✓ |
| What the Battery Claim Assumes | Samsung's 13 days is explicitly 'with Always On Display turned off (default setting)'. Independent testing under moderate-to-heavy use returned roughly 7–10 days | Amazfit's 14 days is 'typical use'; battery-saver mode stretches to 26 days. Continuous GPS use and the always-on display are not covered by the 14-day figure. Full charge 1.5–2.5 hours |
| Subscription Model | None — Samsung Health is free | None — every metric and the offline maps are free |
| Annual Subscription Cost ($) | 0 | 0 |
| Water Resistance | 5 ATM (50 m for 10 minutes) plus IP68 | 5 ATM / 50 m for up to 10 minutes |
| ECG / AFib & FDA Status | No ECG hardware and no AFib detection — Samsung's ECG is restricted to Galaxy Watch models paired with a Galaxy phone | No ECG hardware and no AFib detection |
| SpO2 Sensor | Yes — blood oxygen during sleep | Yes — blood oxygen plus stress and sleep via BioTracker |
| Phone Compatibility | Android only. There is no iOS app for the Fit3, and setup is smoothest on a Samsung phone | iOS and Android via the Zepp app (text reply is Android-only) |
| Charger | Proprietary pogo-pin cable; no wall adapter is included in the box | Proprietary magnetic charging cradle terminating in USB-C. Amazfit's US product page states a cable is not included as a sustainability measure — confirm box contents before buying |
| Data Export | Samsung Health offers a personal-data download; third-party sync generally needs Health Connect on Android | Zepp syncs to Strava, Google Fit and Apple Health; no documented bulk-export format |
| Warranty | 12 months | 12 months |
| Colors | Dark Gray, Silver, Pink Gold | Black, Stone, Red |

Pros & Cons
Samsung Galaxy Fit3 (2024)
Pros
- +Aluminium body and a 1.6-inch AMOLED for $59.99
- +5 ATM plus IP68 is the most thorough water/dust rating in the budget tier
- +Nothing is paywalled and Samsung Health is a mature, free app
- +Fall detection and SOS are rare features at this price
Cons
- −Android only — there is no iPhone app, which rules the Fit3 out entirely for iOS users
- −No GPS chip, and phone-free distance estimation was measured undermeasuring a 5km track by 50m+
- −The 13-day claim is with the always-on display off; real-world use lands nearer 7–10 days
- −Proprietary pogo-pin charging cable and no wall adapter in the box
- −Best-behaved on a Samsung phone; on other Android handsets setup is clumsier
Amazfit Bip 6 (2025)
Pros
- +Real multi-band GNSS and offline maps for $79.99 — half the price of the cheapest Fitbit with a GPS chip
- +14-day typical battery with a 1.97-inch AMOLED is a combination nothing else here matches
- +Standard 22mm quick-release straps, so replacements are a few dollars rather than $35
- +No subscription, no gated metrics, works with both iPhone and Android
Cons
- −Amazfit's US page says no charging cable is included in the box — verify before you buy, because the cradle is proprietary
- −No ECG, no AFib detection and no FDA-cleared health feature of any kind
- −Zepp's recovery and sleep modelling is shallower than Garmin's or WHOOP's, and there is no documented bulk data export
- −Sits awkwardly between band and watch — it is 46mm, so it wears like a watch not a slim tracker
- −The 14-day claim does not survive regular GPS workouts or the always-on display
