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

THE BEST smart watch I have ever used
I’ve been using this smartwatch for about half a year, and it’s, in some sense, the best one I’ve ever used!For context, I’ve always been a watch person and have been using smartwatches since the original Pebble. Since I often switch between Android and iPhone, I typically needed to switch smartwatches. The Galaxy Watch supports iOS, but its functions are quite limited. The previous watch I settled on was the Garmin FR series, which works well with both platforms and has great battery life and an activity log.This watch is essentially like a Garmin FR watch, but at a significantly lower price. It features a great OLED touchscreen and continuously logs my heart rate. By turning on the always-on display and continuous HR monitor (every 5 minutes), the battery life is like half a week. However, I only needed to charge it for fifteen minutes every day when showering, and the battery never drops below 50%. Even when traveling, I wear it continuously for a few days, including showering, and the battery never becomes an issue.It has a sleek stainless steel design and stylish look compared to a bulky and sporty Garmin watch. It never drew unwanted attention in even formal settings. However, the watch face is not as durable as Galaxy watch or Apple Watches. It already accumulated a few deep groves on from the first month of use.

Excellent watch for the money
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 plusThe 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.

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 charmA sure go to product if you are a conscious fitness enthusiast !

This watch is pretty damn good for $179 AUD. I’m getting to know my sleep better, my REMs and deep sleep and HRV. I bought it for the fitness tracking and that has been helpful – it syncs with Strava straight away following my runs with the only drawback with it not passing back heart rate data. Anyone know why? Battery life for me is about 4-5 days, it’s connected to my iPhone 16 Pro 95% of the time and I get my SMS’ and Whatsapp messages notifications via vibration. Really happy with this and this is my first Amazfit purchase.
