FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose Amazfit or Suunto?
For most people it is one or the other. Both are daily-wear devices that track the same core things, heart rate, sleep and activity, so wearing both is redundant. Use the matrix above to pick the one that wins the categories you care about.
Which one tracks more health signals?
Amazfit tracks 16 of the 27 signals I compare, Suunto tracks 15. The matrix above breaks it down by category, and they often win different categories.
Is it worth switching from Amazfit to Suunto?
Only if Suunto wins the categories you actually care about. If you already own Amazfit and it covers your main goal, the upgrade is rarely worth it. The matrix above shows exactly what changes.
