The display is always-on, by the way, which is convenient and truly serves the purpose of being a watch. However, the glass protecting the display is curved towards the edges which gives it a nice look. It would have been nice if Amazfit shaved off a few millimeters from each of the four sides. While the display itself is good, what gives the watch a slightly dated look is the bezels around the display. Essentially, brighter the environment, better is the visibility of the display on the Bip S Lite. In outdoor conditions though, where there’s a lot of sunlight, the panel reflects the light to make it appear brighter than usual. When there is no external light falling on the display, like indoors, the LCD has its own backlight through which you can view the contents on the screen. Just like the Bip S, the Bip S Lite also gets a transflective display which in plain terms is an LCD panel that both transmits as well as reflects light. If you want the ability to track your swims, the more expensive Bip S has that functionality and this is one of the important differentiating factors. The Bip S Lite is water-resistant up to 50 meters which means you can wear it to the gym or for a swim too but the Bip S Lite cannot track your swims. The straps that come pre-installed with the Bip S Lite are similar to any conventional watch strap and can be swapped out for an aftermarket alternative. There is a single crown on the right side of the watch which is tactile and is used to access different menus. It’s important for a wearable to feel lightweight and comfortable since you’re going to have it strapped onto your wrist all day, maybe even while sleeping, and the Bip S Lite fits the bill perfectly in this department.

The main watch module is constructed out of plastic and feels extremely lightweight even with the rubber straps attached. They are built with the same materials and dimensions so if you have them side by side, you won’t be able to tell them apart.

Fitness Tracking and Other FunctionalityĮverything we said in our Amazfit Bip S review holds true for the Bip S Lite as well given that they are identical in terms of looks and design.
