If you’re in the market for an affordable smartwatch capable of tracking your workouts and rest, there’s a good chance you’ve come across the brands Amazfit and/or Armitron. While the former has been in the sub-$100 smartwatch game for several years and offers numerous models on Amazon, Armitron is a brand-new player in the space.
The $89 Amazfit Bip 5 has been available since 2023 and is a device we’ve thoroughly tested against other wearables like the Fitbit Inspire 3 and the Polar Vantage V3, and on its own for our full Amazfit Bip 5 review. From a wellness standpoint, it’s feature-rich and darn accurate at keeping tabs on workouts, making it one of my favorite wallet-friendly fitness-oriented smartwatches.
