The Difference?
- Design
- Fitness Tracking
- Battery Life
Obviously, there isn’t any difference in the design of these three smartwatches, it’s the same rectangular shape and lightweight design. Although, the Bip S is slightly thicker than the Bip Lite and Bip which are slimmer and weigh a little less than the Bip S. The display is the same transflective colored LCD display that’s very easy to read outdoors.
However, the Bip S has the highest waterproof rating of 5ATM which makes it the best choice for tracking your swimming activity unlike the Bip with IP68 (waterproof rating 1.5meters) and the Bip Lite 3ATM (waterproof up to 30 meters).
Each of these three was designed with fitness tracking at the center, each will track your steps, heart rate, and sleep. However, the Bip S and Bip have inbuilt GPS which the Bip Lite lacks, this enables outdoor tracking for routes, location, and distance. But the Bip Lite will need to connect to your phone’s GPS to enable GPS functions which can be quite inconvenient, especially while on the go.
Moreover, the Bip S has 10 preloaded sport modes compared to the Bip which has 4 and the Bip Lite which also has fewer sport modes.
All the members of the Bip Series have very long battery life, in fact, some of the smartwatches with the longest battery life on the market. Each of these will keep you going for over 30 days from a single charge with mixed usage which is very impressive. Although, the Bip and Bip Lite have slightly longer battery life than the Bip S.
The Verdict
All three device look very decent, lightweight, fitness-focused with very long battery life that lets you go longer from a single charge. However, the Bip S being a more proactive and comprehensive activity tracker is the best choice.
