Amazfit, a brand owned by Zepp Health, is known for its smartwatches. The company used to offer exciting products at affordable prices.
However, the brand’s product lineup got complicated in recent years with many more models and price hikes. This along with increased competition resulted in the company losing its market share.
The brand started correcting itself a year ago by minimizing its product portfolio. The Amazfit Active was the first watch beginning this new chapter for the brand.
Now, at CES 2025, this wearable gets a successor. The newer model improves upon its predecessor by keeping the price even lower.
The Amazfit Active 2 costs only $100 and brings many meaningful changes. It comes with a circular dial, unlike the Apple Watch-lookalike original which was priced at $150 at launch. It essentially replaces the older GTR series.
Let’s go through what makes this smartwatch a compelling option in the budget category.
The Amazfit Active 2 sports a circular dial mimicking classic watches. It has a stainless steel bezel with hour and minute markings.
The wearable comes in two flavors: Standard ($100) and Premium ($130). The former is paired with a leather strap and a sapphire glass. Whereas the latter arrives with a silicone strap and a tempered glass.
The watch flaunts a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with a peak brightness level of 2000 nits. The screen offers a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels and 353 PPI.
It has two buttons, a microphone, and a speaker. It is water resistant up to 5 ATM.
2. Packed with Sensors
The Amazfit Active 2 is equipped with the company’s BioTracker 6.0 PPG biometric sensor. This sensor is found inside the more expensive T-Rex 3 rugged smartwatch.
The sensor stack of the wearable includes accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, altimeter, ambient light, and temperature. It also supports 5 satellite positioning systems (GNSS).
3. Plethora of Sports and Health Features
The Amazfit Active 2 supports 164 sports modes. Users can create training templates and customize interval training. It also offers turn-by-turn navigation for outdoor activities.
The wearable can be paired with other peripheral workout devices, like heart rate belt, running power meter, cycling power meter, cycling speedometer, and cycling cadence meter.
Further, the data can be synchronized with third-party fitness apps, such as Strava, Adidas Running, TrainingPeaks, Komoot, Relive, Google Fit, and Apple Health.
Common health features offered by the watch include monitoring of heart-rate, blood oxygen level, temperature, stress, and sleep.
4. Convenient Lifestyle Features
The Amazfit Active 2 is compatible with both Android and iOS. It pairs via the Zepp App over Bluetooth 5.2.
It has all the essential features, such as app notifications, call alerts, camera control, weather, music playback control, voice memos, and more. There’s also support for Zepp Flow AI-powered voice control in select regions.
In some regions, the wearable also offers support for contactless payments via Zepp Pay.
5. Exceptional Battery Life
Despite packing a ton of features, the Amazfit Actice 2 is rated to last for up to 10 days under typical usage scenario. Even under heavy usage, it is touted to last for up to 5 days.
The watch houses a 270mAh battery and charges via a magnetic charger.
