As someone who has used everything from Apple Watches to various Garmin models, I went into the Amazfit Active 2 with high expectations—and honestly, it has blown me away. For a watch that sits at such an aggressive price point, I felt like the "premium" experience starts the moment you start unboxing the product.First Impressions: The "Out-of-the-Box" FactorThe packaging is surprisingly impressive. Often, budget-friendly options lack in this area and it can be obvious that it is a budget-friendly option just purely due to the packaging alone. But Amazfit clearly took a page out of the high-end playbook here. The unboxing has the kind of presentation that makes you feel like you’ve bought a piece of luxury tech rather than just a cheap fitness tracker.Setup & Sync: Pretty Effortless IntegrationIf you’ve ever struggled with a finicky Bluetooth pairing process, you’ll appreciate how seamless this is. Just turn on the Amazfit 2, download the Zepp app, scan the QR code and you're set.Within three minutes, I had my notifications configured, my health data syncing, and a new watch face installed.- Note, my watch did force me to update the software prior to being able to doing too much on the watch. This took about 10 minutes.The UI: Smooth, Snappy, and Spot OnThis is where the Active 2 truly earns its keep. Coming from the fluid (but battery-hungry) Apple Watch and the data-rich (but sometimes clunky) Garmin interface, I was skeptical about Zepp OS.The UI on the watch is exceptionally smooth (almost too smooth? If that can be a thing). There’s no noticeable stutter when swiping through widgets, and the touch response is immediate. The app icons look premium and overall I think it will be a great option to track my fitness and sleep.The VerdictAs someone who has lived in the Apple and Garmin ecosystems, I am genuinely impressed. The Amazfit Active 2 doesn't just "compete" for the price—it stands on its own merits for design, ease of use, and software performance. If you want the premium feel without the "premium" tax, this is the one.

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!

I'm pleasantly surprised at this watch and its capabilities. I send back another smart watch, and for the $10 extra it was a major gain in what you get for the money, very good valuePro's1. The Zepp app is really nice and has a lot of information2. A lot of features, more than I need3. The synching to my IPhone was a breeze and it appears after 2 weeks to be consistent, I have had other that were hit and miss if it connected or not4. The watch looks nice5. I'm not a fan of rubber straps, but like this one.6. The watch is easy and bright to read7. Get a good 7-10 days battery life, don't have to charge to often8. GPS tracking on map when sensing you run or walk9. Sleep tracking seems to be fairly good and nice interface showing results10. Notification vibrations are strong, so you don't easily miss it. You cannot adjust the levelCon's1. Zepp app has a lot, but many times a pain to find what you want2. Sometimes says I'm exercising, but I'm driving.3. Finding your watch from the App, it buzz and don't use the speaker, sound a no brainer to use the speaker as well4. The AI bot only helps with phone features and not sending it to answer simple questionsI don't know how accurate it is on step counts, so will not comment on that.Not really using this for fitness tracking, so cannot comment on al the features in this category.So all an all I'm very happy, think some of the con's can be easily fixed with a software update

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 !

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.
