Our quick verdict

The Amazfit Helio Strap, a screenless tracker you read in the Zepp app, lasts longer between charges (10 days), gives daily BioCharge energy levels and is slimmer, while the Fitbit Edge, a smartwatch with a 1.34-inch OLED screen, takes ECG heart-rhythm readings, is lighter to wear all day and has a sturdier aluminium build, though some coaching features need a Google Health Premium subscription.
