Amazfit GTS 2 has a circular face, it closely looks like the Apple Watch. Its AMOLED display measures 1.65 inches, is a touchscreen and is very sensitive to touch.

Fitbit Sense on the other hand we have the Fitbit Sense with a rectangular display that is OLED and 1.58 inches. It is also a touchscreen and responds promptly to touch.

Other models by Amazfit include Amazfit GTS 2, Amazon GTR 2, Amazfit GTS 2e, and Amazon GTS 2 mini.

GTR 2 ad GTS 2 are also cheaper options and they look stylish. Fitbit on the other hand equips the same features as Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versa 3.

Fitbit smartwatches like Fitbit Versa 3 and Fitbit Sense introduce heart rate sensors and onboard GPS for heart and location tracking respectively.

The ambient light sensor on both Fitbit and Amazfit monitors the amount of ambient light present on the display and appropriately dims the screen to match.

Fitbit Versa 2, Fitbit Charge 5, Fitbit Versa Lite, and Fitbit Sense are examples of Fitbit watches with ambient light sensors.

While Amazfit GTS mini, Amazfit Bip S Lite, XIAOMI Amazfit GTS 2, Amazon GTS, and Amazfit GTR 2 are examples of Amazfit watches with ambient sensors.

Fitbit watches including, Fitbit Charge 3, Charge 2, Ionic, and Blaze come with 3-axis accelerometers while Amazfit comes with a 6-axis accelerometer.

Amazfit bands also come with air pressure sensors a feature you will not find on any Fitbit smartwatch.

Amazfit and Fitbit both come with a SpO2 sensor. SpO2 sensors are necessary on smartwatches because they help determine the amount of oxygen saturation in the blood.

The Amazfit GTS 2, and Amazfit GTS 2 mini are good to perfect examples of Swimproof Amazfit smartwatches that will survive the pool.
