Amazfit Active 2 Premium Smart Watch Fitness Tracker (Round) for Android & iPhone, 10 Day Battery, Water Resistant, GPS Maps, Heart & Sleep Monitor, HYROX Mode, Sapphire Glass, Leather + Sport Strap

I bought and returned a Pixel Watch 4. Hated it. They try to do everything and end up with a bulky Rube Goldberg device. This Amazfit Active 2 watch is an absolute steal and ideal for health and sports tracking enthusiasts. I has a wonderful non-bulky form factor, *incredible* battery life, great ecosystem (goes great with Helio smart ring) and a truly great top-of-class subscription-free android app, "Zepp", that will synchronize data with the Active 2 and other Amazfit devices - in coordination. Lots of activities supported, like table tennis and roller skating which I do. With your smart-phone it also does a lot of smart-watchy things too, like messages, calls, navigation, more, that I couldn't care less about. But it seems to do them quite well, too.

When my Samsung Active 2 died I went looking for an option that wasn’t going to break the bank. I just needed a good basic smart watch that I could track my bike rides with. I wanted to be able to see my performance metrics on my morning workout rides and I wanted to be able to see a map of my trip when I did my longer (40 mile) leisure rides. There were 4 Amazfit watches I considered, the Bip 6, the Fit 2, the Fit 2 Premium Round and the Fit 2 Premium Square. I did a lot of research and watched a lot of review videos. I really liked the amount of information that the Bip 6’s square screen provided. But I was looking for a watch I could wear for sport or dress, and I felt that the Bip 6’s large size wouldn’t really work well as a dress watch. The Fit 2 premium Square was twice the price Bip 6, but it was less than ½ the price of a comparable Samsung or Pixel watch. I’m hoping that the Saphire crystal lives up to the scratch resistance claims so I can at least save a few bucks on screen protectors 😊 I assumed that the premium square was brushed steel like the premium round. It wasn’t. It was polished stainless steel. I was a bit disappointed about that, but I can’t fault the watch for that, it was my mistake. But I have to say that with the right watch face chosen it’s still a pretty classy looking watch. The pseudo-leather band looks very dressy, and I was surprised that I even liked the orange sport band that came with it. It’s more of a burnt orange/pumpkin orange, not the bright orange I was expecting. The watch is great at tracking my rides. The battery on my old Samsung Active 2 usually did not last the entire day if I was using it to track a long ride. At the end of my recent day-long ride I still had over 70% battery left. A big plus The information display is great when riding. All the key info that I’m looking for is on the main ride screen, Distance, speed, time, heart rate. And the screen visibility is excellent, even in bright sunlight. A previous (cheaper) watch that I tried could not be viewed with polarized sunglasses. I had no similar issues with the Amazfit. The watch can be set to announce your progress at regular intervals during your ride/workout. It announces duration, distance and avg spreed. My Samsung also announced heart rate. I do wish the Amafit announced HR too. Hopefully someone from Amazfit checks the reviews occasionally and adds this feature. The Amazfit has about 150 built-in workouts. I was only interested in cycling but if you’re looking for a decent fitness tracker this watch will probably have you covered. My previous Samsung watch did not play well with the default Android messaging app. I needed to install a third-party app to be able to reply to messages from my watch. The Amazfit worked fine with the default google messaging app. It even seems to work with RCS messages which some less expensive wtches don't. I’d like to see a little more volume when answering call from the watch, but it is workable. Just a bit tough in noisy environments. This watch has a lot of features. I was initially getting frustrated trying to set it up. I received an email after registering the Zepp companion app for the watch. The email had a link to the user manual. That helped a lot. It is very customizable and after a little playing I have a watch that has all the information that I need a swipe or two away. So in summary – It’s a good-looking watch. It appears to be well made. It has all of the functions I could ask for and is an excellent fitness partner. Yes, there are a bunch of cheap “smart” watches out there. I even tried one. They are cheap for a reason. This watch approaches the functionality of the high-end watches without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend.

This watch has been a great replacement for my Apple watch 6. Battery life is exponentially better, even with the screen set to always-on. With heavy use, after two days the battery was still at 80%. I basically wanted a smartwatch just for the notifications, and don't care about the fitness aspects. It was easy to disable the stuff that I didn't want. Iphone notifications are easy to read and work exactly like you would expect. I love the round body and huge selection of watch faces to choose. The style is nice, and it has a solid build feel. So far, I am very pleased!

For reference, I use this watch with an iPhone 14, so setting up text message reply has been...I haven't figured it out for hours of trying. However, as a fitness and overall smartwatch, it's high quality. The bands are debatable. Some people will love and others will hate the watch bands included. I ended up buying another for mine to more comfortably fit my wrist as the stock leather band is a bit tight in my opinion. Battery life? 5 days and nights. For me, I use this day and night with all health-related tracking features on and I have it import into Apple Health and of course the Zepp app. The zepp app isn't as easy to navigate and use as built-in iPhone health app. For the price and overall features, I'll accept 5 days and nights before recharging and I don't plan on buying another Fruity watch in the future. Although there are other styles from this company and I own a smaller one with fewer capabilities, this one was the best value for the money for me because I needed to be able to track a lot of health data, and the Amazfit Active 2 can do what the smaller Amazfit watches can't, with upgraded sensors and features that stand out; especially in its new sensor array. For how it tracks, I don't use GPS as I cannot run. I'm a wheelchair user. I do not get turn by turn navigation when connected to my iPhone. I am going to give this my usual Disability Friendliness Rating. That's a bit complicated in this situation. This watch is made for athletes. It's made for people who can ambulate, run, exercise, and not for the sedentary. Being much more sedentary due to disabilities, and also needing feedback about my breathing, oxygen, heart rate, sleep apnea, and more, which this watch can do, I have all those features turned on. However, it's a bit annoying as a wheelchair and IV-pole user with limited mobility to get an app and watch that want me to do things I cannot do, including intense exercise. LIVING is intense exercise for me, daily. So the BioCharge (renamed feature) after a firmware and app update still just doesn't capture how I really feel (typically absolutely exhausted!). If you're buying this for disability-related features instead of running around your neighborhood or up a mountain type features, I'd give this watch a 3/5. You're still going to get data on heart rate but it's going to be compared to someone who, say, doesn't normally have tachycardia or bradycardia. There will eventually be, from other brands, trackers like watches and such which provide more health-centered metrics for people who have disabilities that impact them physically. This one is not it. And frankly, that part cost it a star. I'd thought I could customize it more to my disability-specific needs but I couldn't. So if you're looking for that kind of device, I'd say hold on or be willing to pay a premium for what is out there currently with subscription. Did I mention subscription? Well, Zepp app is free. But they will keep reminding you to use Aura, their paid subscription which provides soothing sleep sounds and such (you can try out the free trial and cancel before it's up and you get charged). I tried Aura, but for my budget, it wasn't worth the expense so I canceled before the free trial was up. Part of the selling point of the Amazfit watch lineup is that you don't NEED a paid subscription for many of their watches. However, be prepared to be reminded of the option to pay up. Font size can be small and seems to be fixed for many watch faces. For me, that's an annoyance. The smallest text, ("Monday" on my always-on watch face and the numbers for various metrics on my main face when I tap it) is very difficult to read. It is hard to find watch faces that show spO2 values, which I need. But there are MANY watch faces to choose from. At night, I have the watch turn the screen green at a set time. I do use always on display for Time, AM/PM, Month, Date and Day - your typical digital watch functions, and I keep the screen mostly black to conserve battery. It still looks neat. Reminder: the band shown in my pictures isn't stock - I bought one that fit me better.

Excellent rapport qualité prix. Seul bémol important : lorsqu' on programme des entraînements sur la montre, comme du hiit par exemple, les intervalles sont indiqués par des vibrations et pas par des bips. Souvent ces vibrations sont insuffisantes pour être perçues pendant l'effort. A part cela la montre et l'application sont excellentes.

I was indeed “amazed” to see this Amazfit active 2 premium watch. And more so at this price range it worth each of your buck. I won’t write much on its gr8 features as it well written already by others. The look and feel of this gadget is impressive. It works well on each of its features viz fitness workouts, accuracy or heart beat and spo2 I loved the auto workout detection - a welcome change from my earlier fossil watch which was supposed to be a premium one and yet no such option. At this price range it beats most of its peers on functionality and effectiveness. Considering its awesome features and functions and utility - On price it has no competition at all. One more thing - it’s compatible with iPhone - works like a charm A sure go to product if you are a conscious fitness enthusiast !

After my Fitbit 3 finally died I wanted a replacement that looked like a slim dress watch but didn’t have the huge price tag like other well known brands. I purchased this from a consumer nz review and it does exactly what it says on the box. I love that it is lightweight and has all the native apps you need. My husband now wants one to replace his Apple Watch.

Nice watch and good for casual and formal wear.

Bought this to replace my Fitbit which broke, having lasted less than 18 months. Sick of poor quality Fitbit I decided to move away from them and did a lot of research before settling on this beauty. What can I say, it outshines my old fitbit in every way and cost less too. It looks better, the quality and build seem better, like it might actually last longer, and the zepp app which comes with it is brilliant. The insights are great, again, way more detailed than Fitbit! The watch itself has a really clear, bright screen, and even displays photos and videos! I can even get my ring doorbell on it. It's very versatile to suit your needs, with so many different features and there's lots of clock faces to choose from to personalise it, some free, some paid. It was really easy to set up and connect to my phone. Battery life is insane too, I've just gone 10 days since my first charge without charging it. I've just now put it on charge, it was still on 25% so not desperate (for this watch anyway). I cannot recommend this watch enough for looks, versatility, ease of use, battery life, and price point. It looks way more expensive than it is! I do recommend buying screen protectors though as this watch does have a glass screen.
