Hi everyone welcome to Wesknows tech news and reviews! today we have another budget tracker
battle but this time it's a fist fight on a band 6 versus the amazfit bp both are priced under 50
bucks both have h2h displays and both look and feel more like smart watches rather than budget
trackers i've broken the review into two videos in this one we'll be looking at the differences
in specs features and functions comparing build quality and so forth in the video coming out
tomorrow we'll be comparing the health metrics such as step counts heart rate and calories burned
as a result from one of my evening runs if you are new to Wesknows tech news and reviews we talk
about the latest tech news we do brutally honest reviews and share hacks and tricks along the way
we have structured the review and comparison in the following way firstly we'll cover the designs
and the displays and then we'll dive into the features and functions our goal is to identify
the tracker with the most appeal and most value without further ado let's get into the design
and display comparison the designs of the two trackers bring us closer to smartwatch designs
rather than the traditional trackers the honor band 6 has a huge display for a budget wearable
it's a 1.47 inch amoled with a resolution of 194 by 360 pixels popping out 283 ppi
that's 40 percent larger screen than the competition such as galaxy fit 2 or amazfit
band 5. the dial is covered with 2.5 d gorilla glass and considering the bip u is the next
generation of the bip the squarish face doesn't surprise us the display is a 1.43 inch color tft
lcd display considering it is bright and crisp it's just not as glamorous as an amoled display
the watch cases on both are made of polycarbonate in simple terms they are plastic in fact both
weigh just under 30 grams with the straps on whether on a band 6 is more elongated and the bip
u is more square dimensions of the watches are 43 by 25.4 millimeters on the honor and 40.9 by 35.5
millimeters on the bip u essentially if you have a very slender wrist the bip u would suit you better
another interesting point is that the honor band 6 is actually thinner on top of your
wrist than the bip u it's 10.8 millimeters thick while the bip u is 11.4 millimeters
you will notice that both have brand logos on the watch cases honor brings it to the side of
the watch case while the bip u sits it under the lcd panel in the lower lip of the face there are
plenty of downloadable faces on both trackers and also from either android or ios phones
now band 6 allows plenty of faces stored on the watch i have at least 10 on mine while the bpu can
store only 4 faces both trackers have 5 brightness levels and no always on display although honor
does make an attempt to shortcut the always-on display by allowing you to keep the watch face
lit up anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes let's mention straps both trackers have tpu straps honor band 6
is using a similar seamless look tape it to the sides of the tracker just like the honor band 5
while bip u sticks to plastic lugs as on the prior version of the bip thankfully both also have the
classic watch like clasps that make it so easy to slip on or off even during workouts in terms
of design and display the winner in my mind is on a band 6. after all a 1.47 inch amoled display is
larger and brighter than the 1.43 inch on the bip u the other factor is that honor makes a screen
that spans the full watch face while the bip u has a rather fat lip at the bottom and the bezels
on the sides of the display are also thicker than on honor band 6. another point is that the
tapered straps look slicker than the 20 millimeter replaceable straps on the plastic lugs of the bip
u but a lost battle does not mean the war is lost because the bip u has a number of tricks in the
features and functions section that the honor band 6 simply can't match let's begin with sports and
activities metrics as a two note both trackers are waterproof up to 50 meters and you can take them
to the pool or the shower and so forth but both miss out on inbuilt gps and hence use connected
gps from smartphones but if honor band 6 has just 10 sport modes which are non-expandable
bip u has 60 sport profiles to choose from honor band 6 used to be one of the only budget trackers
on the market with goal-based workouts but the bip u also offers goal-based workouts with the
likes of distance to be covered number of laps to swim calories to burn etc now if the band 6 has
auto sport detection for walking running rolling and elliptical workouts the bip u doesn't but
it has a feature list called activity alerts and these are quite advanced and made their way from
the more premium and mass fit smartwatch range the activity alerts help you exercise specifically in
target heart rate zones or notify you if you're doing a slower pace than you said for yourself
in regards to sleep the band 6 monitors your sleep using the infamous true sleep tech for sleep
stages monitoring this tech provides you with details on light deep sleep as well as rem sleep
and even supply sleep scores and personalized insights on how to get a better night's sleep
but the bip matches the three sleep stages with sleep scores and recommendations on top of that
both trackers have dedicated sleep screens on the watches saving you from going to the app
for you asleep and awake times both trackers have stress level monitors that can be used on demand
or track continuously throughout the day in the background on top of that whenever you are feeling
stressed out or having a panic attack there are timed breathing apps on both to help you relax and
lower stress levels via guided breathing exercises both trackers also have on-demand spo2 monitors
which provide on-demand measurement of the oxygen saturation level in your blood this is a crucial
addition considering this medical tech feature can form one of respiratory conditions sleep apnea
and so much more so honor band 6 has just the core or basic functions left like alarms notification
management continuous heart rate monitoring stop watch and the weather widget while the bip u
has more innovative features let me mention some of them the watch also monitors your pi metric
just like any other mass fit or xiaomi wearables the pi score is calculated by processing data
about your heart rate and activity intensity sleep metrics and other health data this single value
score provides a customized health evaluation for each user based on their unique health data
there's also world clock on your bip u so you can add up to 20 different locations
in the zap app and synchronize them to the watch's world clock app so when we talk features
and functions the clear winner is bp there are over 50 more sport profiles than on honor band 6.
also they have very smart activity alerts there is a dedicated health metric app measuring your pie
the addition of a world clock and pomodoro tracker make the bip u much more office friendly than the
honor band 6. at the end of the day both are great budget trackers and in my view probably
the best on offer today except for a tiny caveat i am waiting on the delivery of the xiaomi mi
watch lite and i think it will give both bip u and band 6 a run for their money but until that
time these two are the best budget trackers we've seen on the west news channel to date
