Amazfit has launched the Amazfit Active 3 Premium, a compact smartwatch aimed at beginner runners and users who combine running with strength or studio workouts. The watch focuses on structured training, navigation, and health tracking while keeping the design simple enough for everyday use.
The Active 3 Premium includes built-in running workouts and Zepp Coach adaptive training plans. These plans adjust based on performance and recovery and support goals ranging from 5K to full marathon distances. Running metrics include posture tracking, running power, lactate threshold, ground contact time, rhythm analysis, and balance monitoring. These insights help users understand effort, improve form, and reduce injury risk over time. The watch also supports virtual pacer, smart trajectory correction, track run mode, and running gear management.
For navigation, the device uses six satellite positioning systems with offline maps, turn-by-turn directions, automatic rerouting, and point-to-point route planning. Users can search points of interest directly from the watch. The 4GB internal storage allows maps and audio, such as podcasts to be stored locally for phone-free workouts.
The smartwatch has a 45mm stainless steel frame with four physical buttons and weighs 38g without the strap. Dimensions are 45 × 45 × 11mm. It uses a 1.32-inch AMOLED display with 466 × 466 resolution, 353 PPI, and up to 3,000 nits brightness. The screen is protected by sapphire glass. Water resistance is rated at 5ATM. Color options include Apex Silver, Atlas Blue, and Aero White.
Battery capacity is 365mAh. Typical battery life is up to 12 days, heavy use up to 7 days, always on display up to 4 days, and continuous GPS up to 24 hours. GPS power saving mode can reach up to 76 hours, or 10 hours when GPS is used with music playback.
Health tracking is powered by the BioTracker PPG sensor with continuous heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and skin temperature monitoring. Sleep tracking includes heart rate variability, breathing quality, sleep stages, naps, and sleep score. BioCharge provides a daily readiness score based on activity and recovery. Additional metrics include VO₂ Max, training load, training effect, and training stress balance. One tap measurement can check heart rate, stress, blood oxygen, and breathing rate in 45 seconds.
The watch supports more than 170 sports modes, including running, cycling, swimming, strength training with auto recognition of 25 movements, HYROX training, indoor workouts, winter sports, and ball sports. Bluetooth peripherals such as heart rate belts, power meters, cadence sensors, and action cameras are supported.
Smart features include Bluetooth calling through a built-in microphone and speaker, Zepp Flow voice assistant, notifications, music control, camera control for iOS, quick replies on Android, and Find My Phone. The device runs with the Zepp app and supports Android 7.0 or later and iOS 14.0 or later. Data can sync with Strava, TrainingPeaks, Runna, and Intervals.icu, Apple Health, and Google Fit.
