Amazfit Vs Fitbit – 2024 Fitness Wearables Apps & Features

Fitbit offers its own Premium subscription service that offers wellness reports, audio and video workouts, and deeper sleep insights. Access to these features will cost you money.

As well as Fitbit’s own built-in features, the Fitbit app also works with a range of third-party apps such as Strava and MyFitnessPal.

In terms of third-party app support, it’s not quite as extensive as Fitbit’s app, but there are some important ones. Strava is a more useful integration than the Chinese messaging service WeChat. For those devices that support Alexa, it also works with it. You can also see videos of your outdoor activities with the app Relive and Google Fit.

This companion app manages to be both sparse and busy at the same time. The app isn’t as slick as Fitbit’s, but it should have everything you need to play with settings and review your vital health and fitness information.

• At their core, both platforms display steps, distance walked, and periods of inactivity. To convert wrist movement into motion data, these devices use similar motion sensor setups and software algorithms.
• Despite the fact that no two devices deliver the same data, the devices we tested across both platforms did not produce wildly inaccurate results.

• Based on optical, light-based sensors, both platforms provide heart rate-based health insights. Fitbit heart rate features to track the medical-grade ECG sensor found in the latest Apple Watch.
• According to both companies, their heart rate sensor technologies can detect signs associated with heart disorders like atrial fibrillation. These heart rate data are also used by Fitbit and Amazfit to provide richer sleep insights. In our opinion, Fitbit does a better job of it.
• Amazfit’s Training Load, VO2 Max, and PAI Health scores are more sporting than Fitbit’s heart rate-based exercise tracking.

• The Fitbit definitely has the edge when it comes to presentation. It neatly and simply presents the components of your sleep in a way that most people can understand. It doesn’t matter whether it’s sleep stages or additional sleep scores offered by Fitbit Premium. Furthermore, Fitbit offers more sleep insights into tracked data than Amazfit.
• Amazfit certainly doesn’t shirk its responsibilities when it comes to sleeping breakdowns and sleep quality analysis – and you still receive that single-number sleep score. Similar to Fitbit, it is testing out new features like breathing quality analysis. The accuracy was also impressive, but Fitbit’s data and algorithms are years ahead – and that shows.

• Fitbit is the only winner if you care about mindfulness and tracking your mental state. Many of its devices offer guided breathing options based on their onboard heart rate monitors. The company’s new Sense watch tracks stress deeper than ever before.
• Although Amazfit does provide stress tracking through heart rate variability measurements, Fitbit clearly offers more in terms of monitoring your mental health.

• Another success for Fitbit is when it comes to women’s health features. The Fitbit mobile app provides information about menstruation and fertility cycles. Several of those data can also be viewed on its smartwatches.
• Amazon Fit recently launched its own women’s health tracking feature in addition to tracking periods and predicting menstrual cycles.

• Fitbit’s fitness trackers and smartwatches offer dedicated modes for running, cycling, and more basic workouts. Pool-specific devices track only pool activity.
• When GPS isn’t available, it’ll use motion sensors to track metrics like distance, which will never be as reliable as GPS.
• There’s a wealth of sports modes on most of its watches including outdoor activities like hiking and you can get open water swim tracking where available. As with Fitbit, the data is generally reliable, but it is more intended for casual fitness enthusiasts

• It has become easier than ever to track swimming with Fitbit devices that have a water lock feature. That’s only pool swimming, as we’ve already mentioned. On the whole, Fitbit’s smartwatches have the best screens for reviewing data in real time and are accurate.
• Amazfit’s devices offer pool and open water swimming metrics such as SWOLF, pace, and stroke analysis. Swim data can be reviewed on nice, bright screens, and the accuracy is there, too, which gives it an edge

• I found this to be quite interesting. With Fitbit wearables with heart rate monitors, you can gauge your fitness level by tracking your resting heart rate and working in heart rate zones.
• The Amazfit app also offers a rich level of detail regarding your HR data. Most Amazfit devices do not support external heart rate monitor chest straps, though you can usually broadcast HR data to compatible devices and apps to expand your options.
