QUICK VERDICT
Same signal count, different signals. Amazfit gives 24/7 stress; COROS gives training load. Battery life favors COROS (often two to four weeks against Amazfit's one to two). Hardware weight favors COROS for ultra-distance racing. If you want a consumer daily-wear watch with 24/7 stress, Amazfit. If you race ultras or follow structured training load plans, COROS.

Which one tracks more health signals?
Amazfit tracks 16 of the 27 signals I compare, COROS tracks 15. The matrix above breaks it down by category, and they often win different categories.
Is it worth switching from Amazfit to COROS?
