Amazfit Bip 5 outperforms Armitron Matrix in fitness tracking accuracy test

A recent comparison of two budget smartwatches, the Amazfit Bip 5 and the Armitron Matrix, shows the Amazfit as the more accurate fitness tracker. Both devices were tested during a 5,000-step walk, with results closely matching the actual count. The Amazfit Bip 5, priced at $74, offers features like onboard GPS and more detailed heart rate data. In contrast, the Armitron Matrix, available for $44, lacks GPS and reported a lower average heart rate, raising questions about its accuracy. Both smartwatches performed well overall, but the Amazfit provided more comprehensive workout insights. Further testing is planned to evaluate the Armitron's heart rate tracking.
