Amazfit verge 2 vs Pace vs Stratos – The Differences

Features Compared

  1. Design

  2. The Verge 2 has been overhauled and in the process has a new design that’s quite spectacular, but I can tell you it still fall short in terms of premium appearance behind the Stratos that’s more prestigious in its classic appearance.

    However, the Verge 2 with AMOLED offers a more interactive display than the Transflective LCD powering the display on the other two. Although, while the AMOLED is more lively, it’s quite difficult to read under direct sunlight.

    Going further, the Verge 2 with a moderate case size has the widest display that ensures you can see more at a glance. Verge 2 is also slightly sleeker than the Pace and Stratos which adds to its compactness making it more befitting wear for workout activities.

    And, in terms of ease of navigation, all three are quite easy to navigate. However, the Stratos featuring additional 3 stainless steel buttons makes it a lot easier to navigate the 1.34-inch display.

  3. Battery Life

  4. All three contenders have impressive battery life that should see you through a couple of days, but the overhauled Verge 2 has a slight longer battery despite featuring a cellular capabilities. Although, with cellular functions active, the battery life is a lot less.

  5. Media

  6. Each of the three contenders has significant onboard storage that ensures that you can take your music with you.

    Moreover, the Verge 2 has a microphone and loudspeaker that makes it a more media-oriented watch that ensures you can do more without your phone – thanks to the cellular support.

  7. Cellular Connectivity

  8. The new Verge 2 comes with cellular support, and it’s one of the main additions in the overhauling process. It supports cellular connectivity up to 4G, although these features might not be available in every country.

    With cellular connectivity, Verge 2 can now make calls as well receive calls meaning your phone finally gets to rest a little while joining other high-end smartwatches like the Apple Watch Series 4 and Galaxy Watch with the standalone functionality.

  9. Waterproof Rating

  10. In terms of water resistant rating, the Stratos and Verge 2 have the highest water resistant rating that sees these two being water resistant up to 50 meters compared to the Verge lite with IP67 that’s water resistant up to 1 meter.

  11. Activity Tracking

Fitness tracking is at the core of these three. Each of the three contenders makes a nice choice for tracking your active life.

All three are fully equipped to track your active life. However, the Stratos has more fitness tracking features that include 16 sport modes compared to the Verge 2 which has 12 sport modes to choose from.

The Stratos via the heart rate sensor can access your cardiorespiratory fitness level in terms of VO2max that describes the ability of the body to utilize oxygen in transforming nutrients into energy.

Meanwhile, the new ECG feature on the Verge 2 makes it a very interesting choice. With the ECG feature you can take instant ECG test on your wrist which can help detect atrial fibrillation – a form of irregular heart rhythm.

Which is the Best?

No doubt each of the three contenders in this bout stands out as a great choice for tracking your active life.

However, it a bit tricky saying which is outrightly better between Verge 2 and Stratos which both have their ups and downs, and that brings us to the point where it’s a matter of what you need most.

The Stratos has a classic and most prestigious design, it’s also a comprehensive activity tracker, but the Verge 2 is more comprehensive in terms of features and also more nicer wear that’s more befitting for the gym.

So, we’ve got a Stratos that’s a perfect fit for men while the standalone Verge 2 is a nicer fit for women, and as well a nice fit for men.

Here is a summary;

AMAZFIT STRATOS A comprehensive activity tracker with the most prestigious design that makes it a nice fit for the Office.
AMAZFIT VERGE 2A standalone smartwatch with a stylish design and a decent battery life while also being a great choice for tracking your active life.
AMAZFIT PACENo doubt a decent smartwatch.

Our Pick

Although the Stratos lacks standalone capabilities, its however an outstanding choice that’s a great choice for comprehensive activity tracking while also having the most prestigious appearance that makes it a perfect fit for the office and as well in the gym. We pick the Stratos.
