Amazfit has expanded the availability of its Amazfit Active 2 smartwatch to Europe, following its initial introduction in North America. The device’s stylish design is combined with fitness and health tracking functions, making it appealing to both casual and avid fitness users.
Amazfit takes a simple, holistic approach to wellness. It prioritizes preparation, sleep quality, and weekly activities above closing rings or cramming every performance measure possible into your dashboard. And, like prior Fitbits, the Active 2 has a longer battery life than more complex smartwatches. Amazfit estimates 10 days from a charge. In testing, I scored between eight and nine.
