Smart watches have become enormously popular due to the multiple benefits that they bring to the user in every way, whether it is to see notifications from their mobile, check their physical condition or keep track of their training. There are many kinds of smartwatches, but the best and cheapest are available from both Xiaomi and Amazfit.
The Chinese tech giant is well known for the value for money of its devices and Amazfit follows a similar sales philosophy. In fact, their smartwatches are very similar to each other, so in this post we are going to reveal who has the best smartwatches so that you are clear about a possible purchase.
Differences between a Xiaomi and Amazfit smartwatch
The truth is that any choice is a success, although there are some aspects that are worth highlighting. Mainly, because they can be differential for the user , so we are going to point out how a Xiaomi watch differs from an Amazfit one.
variety of watches
The first thing to note is that Amazfit is dedicated, above all, to the sale of smartwatches. This means that its catalog is much broader than that of Xiaomi, since the Chinese brand does not also produce many other devices. The Asian giant only has about 5 models for sale in Spain, while Amazfit has a huge range of smart watches under its label. So it is easier to find an option that best suits our preferences with this last company.
Sensor equipment
This depends entirely on the model chosen, but, as a general rule, all watches from both brands come with sensors to measure heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and sleep quality. However, to have a GPS chip with the aim of recording the route we take when doing sports or simply finding the way to your destination, you have to go to those that cost around 100 euros both in Xiaomi and Amazfit. If we want to answer phone calls from the watch, we must also bet on the highest priced ones, since they are the ones that integrate a microphone and speaker for this.
Available applications and software
In this section, a clarification must be made and that is that Xiaomi and Amazfit watches do not have an operating system that allows access to other applications , in addition to the pre-installed ones. This means that the experience is limited to apps for tracking training, measurements, music control, weather, radio… Therefore, it is not possible to access applications such as WhatsApp to reply to messages in any of them. Although it is true that the interface of Xiaomi smartwatches is more attractive than that of one from Amazfit and is easier to use.
Approximate prices
The simple fact of having a greater variety of watches, as is the case with Amazfit, implies a greater disparity in prices, resulting in more alternatives depending on the user’s economy. However, Xiaomi has one of the cheapest smart watches on the market, the Redmi Watch 2 Lite for approximately 50 euros, while the cheapest from Amazfit is the Bip U model for about 15 euros less, although the differences between the two lead us to prefer Xiaomi’s.
There is no clear winner
Both one brand and the other offer us similar things, as we have been able to verify. This leads us to recommend one smartwatch or another in each situation, in both cases they boast an enviable value for money . If we focus on the most complete watches, yes, we could opt for Xiaomi, since it has focused more on them and on the other hand, on the cheap models of the Amazfit firm, although this would mean generalizing.
