The Amazfit Bip 6 retains the familiar look of previous Bip models but comes with some noticeable upgrades. Its 46mm case combines plastic and aluminum, making it sturdier yet still light on your wrist. It is slightly thinner than the Bip 5, and although a bit heavier, you likely won’t notice the difference when wearing it. A new side button makes it easier to start workouts or switch between modes, and the soft, removable silicone strap stays comfortable all day, even when you sleep. For me, the real highlight is the 1.97-inch AMOLED display, which is brighter, sharper, and more colorful than older TFT screens. It looks vivid indoors and **remains readable in direct sunlight**, making it one of the best screens you can get in a budget smartwatch.

Amazfit BIP 6 Review- Excellent Value for Money!
Watch
F Facebook Doug Herrington · owner
I purchased my bip 6 about 3 months ago, and so far I love it - far more than the Apple watch I had for a couple of years. The battery life, by far, is the best feature. Mine lasts 6 days on a charge and I have “always on” activated. My Apple watch wouldn’t even last a day. I use it mostly to track my heart rate and sleep, read my text messages and email, and to measure my steps. It’s also really handy to help me find my iPhone when I’ve set it down somewhere. This might be an inexpensive watch, but I wouldn’t call it “cheap”. It does exactly what I want when Apple could not.

Amazfit Bip 6 Review: Better than you’d expect at ₹7,999!
Watch
C CNET Vanessa Hand Orellana · reviewer · Jan 2026
The best budget smartwatch by a landslide is the Amazfit Bip 6. This is the kind of watch that makes you forget its sub-$100 price tag, packing features you’d normally expect from models that cost at least twice as much. This includes advanced health metrics like SpO2 (blood oxygen), wrist temperature tracking, stress levels and women’s health insights. It also lasted more than a week on a single charge during our testing, and can be tweaked to stretch even longer with custom settings.

So, the Bip 6 comes with a huge 340 mAh battery and Amazfit claims it'll last you for about 14 days with typical use. However, we used it with always on mode turned on, Bluetooth calling, and GPS use. I still got about 6 to 7 days, which I think is truly impressive. Trust me, that's not an easy number to achieve

Got a great deal on the bip 6, and I have to say, I’m really impressed with the quality of this watch. The iPhone integration is incredibly solid for a third party device. The weather app actually works better than apple’s native one! Still learning all the ins and outs, but so far I love it!

The Bip 6 is therefore an attractive option if you simply want plenty of features for a lower price. The Max is aimed more at users looking for a larger, more premium watch with longer battery life.

There is a very cool offline voice control built into BIP 6 as well. So you can use your voice to control your watch after the screen turns on. So if we go in settings and then go in voice assistant, you will see this feature offline voice control. Go in here and here you will see these three options. The first one is wake up mode. So the first option here is respond within 5 seconds after you turn your wrist. So as you turn your wrist and the screen turns on, you will have 5 seconds to uh say anything and the watch will do it or respond within 15 seconds after the screen lights on.

So, make sure that you watch it till the end. The first app that I want to talk about is called Breathe and you can download it from the Zap App Store. Now, if you go in breathe, you basically get three options. There is relax, sleeping, and focus. Now, if you go in relax, you can change the duration of this breathing exercise from 1 to 5 minutes. And then you can also change breaths per minute from 6 to 8. And then if you tap on start, it will show you some instructions that you can follow. And then it will start the breathing process. And every inhale and exhale is accompanied by vibrations of the watch.

I genuinely believe this is the absolute best budget smartwatch you can get right now. And I have come to this conclusion after reviewing a lot of other smart watches this year. So the question is why? Because at its $80 price point, the Bip 6 gives you almost 90% of the features you would find in Amazefitit's more premium multi00 watches. And the best part, it keeps getting better.

So, once you have all of this turned on, your watch will be able to calculate your biocharge score, which is great. Another feature that has arrived with this update is that if you scroll up and go to your notifications and you tap on the delete all button, it will then take you back to the watch face. It will not stay stuck on notifications. Small change, but improves the flow of the watch functionality. So, if I tap on delete all, takes me back to the watch face. Other than that, there are also a couple of other features. So, they have updated the workout voice prompts. There is improved weather data source and refresh logic.

you get so much well so much less of usable space where you can see the data where you can read off data and let's not forget that having this the circular edges on the Mi Band 10 you can't actually see data there it's wasted space while the rectangular it might not be as fluid but you actually have usable space which you can use for data for readings etc etc Brightness is Another clear win on the Masfit Bip 6 on which we get 2,000 nits of brightness while we only get 1,500 nits on the Mi Band 10. Both have ambient light sensors for auto brightness. So that's good.

Overall, the display on the Bip 6 is this 1.97 in AMOLED touchscreen, which is not only a first in the BIP series, but can also go all the way up to 2,000 nits peak brightness. Not bad at all for this price. And 2,000 nits is also the peak brightness that Huawei's Watchfit 4 can go all the way up to. And speaking of the Watchfit 4, its design is probably the sickest out of all of these variables here.

The Bip 6 impresses with a 1.97-in AMOLED display that boasts a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, which is exceptional even among flagship models. It's crisp, vibrant, and large enough for comfortable viewing. Although it can look a bit reflective in photos. The Watch Fit 3's AMOLED screen isn't far behind, offering 1.82-in of high-contrast visuals with 1,500 nits of brightness and a 60 Hz refresh rate. What sets the Fit 3 apart is the smoothness of its UI interactions, where every swipe and tap feels more refined and responsive compared to the Bip 6. Both smartwatches offer strong health tracking foundations, but they approach wellness from slightly different angles.

Plus, a major advantage for BIP 6 is its built-in GPS, which supports five satellite systems for more accurate route and distance tracking. And it also offers offline maps. While it is not always perfect, having GPS is a significant benefit. Galaxy Fit 3, on the other hand, tracks over 100 exercises and also offers automatic workout detection.

This is the lowest-priced fitness tracker Amazfit makes — if price is your number one concern, this is the model to get. You do make some tradeoffs to get to this price point, however. Compared to the Amazfit Active 2, the Bip 6’s build quality is just okay; it’s made of aluminum and plastic instead of steel, and just feels a little less premium overall. Personally, I would spend the extra $20 and get the Amazfit Active 2 or Amazfit Helio Strap over the Bip 6.
