Which is better for running and hiking?

The Bip 6. It has built-in GPS and offline maps, so you can leave your phone at home. The ScanWatch Light has no GPS of its own and depends on your phone for distance and route.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

The ScanWatch Light, at up to 35 days. The Bip 6 runs up to 14 days, or 26 in power saver, but its bright AMOLED screen drains more.

Does the ScanWatch Light work with an iPhone?

Yes. It supports Android and iOS. The Bip 6 is Android only, so iPhone owners should pick the Withings.

Is the Bip 6 too big for a small wrist?

It can be. The case is 46mm and square, which looks large on narrow wrists. The ScanWatch Light is 37mm and weighs 27.1g without the strap, so it sits much smaller.

Is the ScanWatch Light worth stepping up to?

If you care about looks, iOS support and a month of battery, yes. If you want GPS, maps and a big screen for training, the Bip 6 gives you more for sport.

Can either one be worn in the pool?

Both are rated 5 ATM, or 50 meters, and both list swimming. Neither is meant for diving.

Amazfit Bip 6 Smartwatch vs Withings ScanWatch Light

Buy the Amazfit Bip 6 if you want a big bright screen, built-in GPS and offline maps for running, hiking and swimming. Buy the Withings ScanWatch Light if you want a small steel watch that looks like a dress watch, lasts about a month per charge and focuses on heart and sleep health. The Bip 6 is the better fitness tool and has far more owner feedback; the ScanWatch Light is the better everyday watch and feels more premium on the wrist.

Choose the Bip 6 if you train outdoors, want maps on your wrist and prefer a large AMOLED screen.
Choose the ScanWatch Light if you want a slim stainless steel watch with a month of battery and clinical-style heart tracking.
