What you really want
A watch that holds. Which doesn’t stick to the charger. Which displays the time, vibrates when necessary, notes your sleep, goes for a clean run. Not a gas plant. Yes.
Tight budget, no hassle, reassuring autonomy. You don’t want a cockpit on your wrist — just a reliable companion. Frankly, the Beep 6 ticks these specifications exactly. And it does it at a price… which stings the competition. In short, logical.
If you want to see how Amazfit handles the mid-range (and why we sometimes go upmarket), read My strong opinion on Amazfit GTR 3 Pro. You will better understand the house hierarchy.

What the Bip 6 does well
Autonomy: the numbers that count
14 days in typical use, ~6 days in sustained use, up to 26 days in economy mode. And approximately ~32 hours of continuous GPS announced. Concrete translation: you charge it twice a month, basically. My realistic estimate (active notifications + 2 GPS sessions of 60 min/week + sleep): 11 to 15 days depending on brightness and cardio frequency. It depends — obviously.
Screen and readability: no more dull LCD
1.97″ AMOLED, 390 × 450~302 ppiuntil ~2000nits peak brightness. Result: clear display, vibrant colors, perfect reading in direct sunlight. Tempered glass + anti-fingerprint coating. Design ? Sober, light, functional: reinforced plastic case with aluminum frame, ~27.9g (without bracelet), 5ATM sealing. No ostentatious premium – and so much the better: you pay for the screen + autonomy, the heart of the experience.
Sport and health: the essentials, without fuss
140+ modes activity, intelligent recognition on the basics, 24/7 cardio, SpO₂, stress, Nighttime HRVreadiness score, PAI, Zepp Coach. For everyday use: large. Walking, running, gentle cycling, fitness — the foundations are there. Not a lab. That’s enough.

GPS, tracks and guidance
Built-in GPS (single-band), multi-systems supported. Correct start in open areas, more approximation in dense areas (tall buildings, wooded parks). The tracks remain legible to follow your outings and evaluate pace/distance. For light hiking, simple jogging: ok. For tight trail running: less.
If you want to compare the square entry-level Amazfit style, reread Bip U Pro vs Mi Watch Lite comparison. Useful to frame the wait.
Software: Zepp OS 5, finally mature
Zepp OS 5 brings a cleaner interface (font sizes, widgets), better stability, and Zepp Flow for simple voice commands (availability depending on region/smartphone). The Zepp app remains clear: Health, Sport, Sleep views, export to Strava/Adidas Running/Apple Health/Google Fit. It’s not an abundant app store — but it’s fluid, logical, effective on a daily basis. So, pleasant.
To see what the most recent generation gives in terms of well-being/coaching, you can read Amazfit Balance 2 complete detailed field test. Interesting to locate the difference.
What she doesn’t do (and that’s okay)
- No music streaming (smartphone player control only).
- No contactless payment in France.
- No rich third-party apps like Apple/Garmin.
- Single-band GPS: less precise in “urban canyon”.

Comparisons and prices
Bip 6 vs Bip 5 (and the ghost “SE”)
Are you hesitating? There Beep 6 brings three decisive points in the face of Beep 5 : (1) screen AMOLEDlarger and much more readable, (2) longer typical autonomy, (3) newer sensors/software (Zepp OS 5). Result: upgrade justified if readability/autonomy takes precedence. “SE” side: at November 11, 2025 no edition SE official listed — if it ever arrives, it will probably be a more stripped-down version to save costs. For the moment, false subject.
To discover the brand’s “robust outdoor” approach (the other philosophy), read Robust test of the Amazfit T-Rex 3 complete. It sets the record straight.
Price and shopping experience
Public price : around €79.90 on the official store, often less on sale at large resellers. At this ticket, the perceived value is above market. Simple advice: take a 22mm strap replacement (braided for the office, silicone for sports). Immediate comfort, controlled look.
