Amazfit Active 2: Why This $85 Smartwatch is a Hidden Gem in the Fitness Tracker Wars

Amazfit’s Active 2 is packing a punch at $84.99, blending style and substance in the crowded smartwatch market.

The Amazfit Active 2 is on sale for $84.99 (down from $99.99) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. It positions itself as a "platform-agnostic wearable" with a "stylish everyday watch" design, contrasting with Garmin and Fitbit’s premium pricing.

The device includes a 2,000-nit OLED display, stainless steel case, and a "holistic health suite" covering heart rate, blood oxygen, menstrual cycle, skin temperature, and stress tracking.

Battery life tests show 8-9 days of use, outlasting the Apple Watch (18-hour typical) and Galaxy Watch 6 (2-3 days). Offline maps, turn-by-turn navigation, and major GNSS systems support outdoor workouts. AI-powered training coach and on-device voice assistant round out the feature set.

Stainless steel construction and 2,000-nit brightness give it an edge over budget rivals. At $85, it offers a compelling alternative to $300+ smartwatches while maintaining a premium aesthetic.
