Amazfit Active

Does everything I need! Looks great and you can customize the watch face with many free choices or a hugh selection of ones for purchase. It is very comfortable to wear, and I only take it off to charge. And speaking of charging - I absolutely love the battery life!!! I literally only charge it once every 2 weeks under my normal use. Even if I use it extra, I have always been able to go over a week without charging! ( I love to tease my wife who has to charge her Apple watch every day - I told her if she just bought a "good" watch!) Connects to my phone with Bluetooth and tracks my sleep, my workouts - I can get notifications on it and even place or receive a phone call if I want (although sound quality isn't the best with it's tiny speakers!) This is my second Amazfit Active watch, and probably not my last!

I've had several Amazfit watches over the years. My current favorite is the GTR4 (round, feature-packed, nice looking watch). I had always wanted to get the GTS4 (the square version) for a second choice, but couldn't bring myself to spend the money for it (It was around $150 at the time - still a good price, but I felt guilty, since the GTR4 was already so great!). Then the Amazfit Active came along for $84, so I decided to get it. I'm so happy I did. I got the black color, but it comes in a few more. I love the watch! It's super lightweight and feels great on my wrist. I even like the fold under strap - nice and neat. This little watch is pretty much the GTS4 minus a few features. It doesn't have a barometer or altimeter (but it does have a compass), no automatic brightness, and no camera remote (I think you can actually get one if you pay for an app). There isn't storage space on the watch for music, which doesn't bother me, since I don't store music on my GTR4, anyway. Other than that, I can't think of any features it doesn't have that my other watch does; and for everyday use, I don't miss those features. There is a single flat button on the side (no rotating crown), and I think it makes this watch look more sleek and compact. There are a ton of free watch faces, and the app store with many of the same apps as I have on the GTR4. The vibration is strong enough to wake me when I'm sleeping. The speaker is not quite as loud as the GTR4, but loud enough for telephone calls. Texting has the added feature of using a tiny keyboard to type responses, which I've actually been able to do when my phone was charging, so a pretty cool feature. The GPS is accurate. I believe it can do some of the same navigation that the GTR4 does (primitive map display, bread crumbs, return route), but I don't know how big of a route you can store on it, since I haven't used that feature (I'd take the larger watch with the extra memory on a hike). The heartrate, steps, sleep tracking, blood O2, and other health features are the same as the GTR4. The display, while smaller, is still easy to read and contains all the information you need in texts, health data, etc. Battery life is very good. I average about 10 days with moderate GPS use (walks or bike rides in my neighborhood, an hour at a time, three or four days a week). All in all, this is a great watch, and I'm happy I decided on this rather than the GTS4 (By the way, as of this writing, the GTS4 is $129!). I highly recommend this watch, and the Amazfit brand in general.

My first smartwatch and I love it!!! It does everything I need it to do and more. Also,I got the case protector with built in screen and the different color watchbands and it looks awesome!!! I definitely recommend it!!!! Bluetooth works well and you can turn it on and off. I wear it to record my sleep, for reminders and events, getting weather and my calendar, and getting my 10,000 steps in everyday. I have over 20 watchfaces in it. Gps is built in and works pretty accurate. It has over 100 types of excersizes and activities. You can upload songs to it from your phone. From Zepp you should download the watch storage app for free so you know when you've reached your limit on storage space. Has many free and useful apps. Works with the Zepp App formerly amazfit and is easy and self explanatory. I also connect to my phone, so i don't have to grab my phone, i get messages & text back, and also the watch will ring on my wrist and i pick it up and talk. It is waterproof, but i haven't wet my watch yet. I've been very cautious with it. I charge it every 10 to 11 days. I love this watch. It really is amazing and has so many features, everyday i learn something new about my Amazfit Active watch. You won't regret it. My advice is do alot of research and read alot before buying and make sure that it is really what you need. I waited 4 months and now I'm truly happy with my purchase! Hope this is helpful to those of you that need a good smartwatch. Thank you and Goodluck! New update as of Jan.19 2025- well it will be a year in march 2025 and my amazfit is still working amazing. I have been using for tracking my steps and excersize and for sleep. I have lost over 40lbs and feel great. I needed motivation and this watch helped me find it. I definitely recommend this watch. Also with new updates, the watch can do so many new things like texting directly from watch with and without emojis, it didn't do it before but with update it's so awesome. I'm thinking about getting another one. A shinier one just to wear when i go out to social events. I love amazfit and i highly recommend it. I give it 10 stars.

This review is based on two weeks of use. Pros 1. Long battery life. I haven't thoroughly tested this yet with daily workouts, but based on my experience so far, I think the manufacturer's claim of 14 days is not unreasonable. 2. Measurements of heart rate, blood oxygen contents, and exercise distances are in sync with info from other devices. 3. Bright display. Easy to see in bright sunlight even with the brightness setting at about 75%. 4. Built in GPS is accurate, and I like not having to carry my phone with me anymore. 5. A fairly good selection of free watch faces, especially if you like analog vs. digital displays. 6. I wear the watch nearly 24 hrs./day and find the silicone strap to be comfortable. I am going to replace it with a hook and loop strap, however, because my wrist size falls within two of the notches. 7. Ability to store and play music from the watch. The quality of the built-in speaker is poor, but what can you expect from a tiny speaker that sits against your wrist? Sound quality using earbuds is fine. 8. There are many other features that I haven't explored yet like an exercise coach, voice activated commands and Alexa. They seem to have good potential. 9. Good price. The Active model has many of the features of the more expensive Amazfit models. Cons 1. The sleep app is so inaccurate as to be useless. When I wake up in the middle of the night and read to get back to sleep, the app will show me sleeping, sometimes in a deep sleep. The "score" the app assigns to the sleep quality seems to be a number plucked out of thin air. 2. While there is a so-so manual for the watch itself, documentation for the Zepp app is totally lacking. The Zepp web site has an FAQ section that answers questions about the company itself and nothing about how to use the Zepp app. The app is loaded with features, but to figure them out requires a trial-and-error meandering through the various screens. Now the two big ones: 3. The left-right swipe sensitivity is hit and miss, sometimes taking multiple tries before the watch responds. 4. The watch lacks a double tap to wake up the display feature. I can't always raise my wrist to wake up the display and the small side button is difficult to operate. Interestingly, if you tap the display within 1-2 seconds of it going dark it will awaken. It seems like the ability is there but not outside of that small period. I raised the question with Amazfit support, and the AI generated response gave me a path to follow in the watch settings app. When I responded that the final step that would enable the double tap was not there, AI said that not all models have that ability. Thanks a lot! I have been using an Amazfit Band 7 for the past 15 months, and it has both a double tap feature and a sensitive swipe. Why Amazfit can't incorporate both in a watch costing twice as much as the Band 7 is beyond me. Maybe a future software update will resolve both issues. I want to assign 5 stars to an otherwise perfect-for-me watch, but these two flaws cause me to knock it back to just four.

The watch is very beautiful and I really like its features. Now I just have to see how long the battery lasts. I previously had an Amazfit Balance 2, and it’s amazing—the battery lasts up to 21 days or more. I hope this one does too. But if you’re looking for a lightweight watch for a slim and delicate wrist, this is definitely a great choice. It truly looks very beautiful.”

I love this watch so much! It works seamlessly, it doesn't glitch. It does everything that the description claims it does, and so much more. Pedometer seems to be working great. After trying knock off brands from Amazon who just never fail to FAIL, and not seeing a point of spending $400 on a big brand watch - this one is more rhan perfect! It's lightweight, it works great with my android. I'm able to respond to messages from it. I get all of the notifications. It tracks my workouts very well. My sleep as well. It feels comfortable on my wrist. It was not too complicated to set up. I'm able to connect my data with my calorie tracking app via health connect. It seems to be durable. There are plenty of bands to choose from on Amazon, cause the band size is universal. I'd say it's perfect for a girl, cause it's not bulky by any means which was one of the major reasons why I waited up until not to get a smart watch. I highly recommend! Functionality vs the price makes this watch a steal!

UPDATE: I decided to keep the watch and now I'm sorry I did. I finally got my watch connected to Alexa and now I am living the adage "Be careful what you wish for!". Now, every 2 to 5 minutes my watch vibrates and I get the message "Alexa" and nothing more. I have disconnected my Alexa account, to no avail. It is so annoying that I have stopped wearing my watch. I've looked online and I've seen that this is a problem with this watch. There is no way to remove Alexa and I've run out of ideas as to how to fix this. So disappointed as I really like to watch when I first got it. But now, with this Alexa glitch and not being able to use custom watch faces, it's not worth the extra money I paid. When I first got this watch I was really happy with it. I liked that I could create my own watchface. I uploaded a picture of our Christmas tree and used it over the holidays. Today, I decided to change my watch face to a picture of the Baltimore Ravens. I soon discovered that I am no longer able to upload a picture to create the custom watchface. Also, I bought this watch because it said it was Alexa enabled. I get a message that says "Please update Zepp app to the latest version and complete Amazon account authorization in profile" whenever I try to use Alexa on my watch. However, I have the latest version of Zepp. And whenever I try to link my watch to my Amazon account in the Zepp app, it just spins and never connects. Consequently, I do not have Alexa on my watch. I can buy a much less expensive watch to do what this watch does, without the customization and Alexa abilities. I have a week until I can return this watch and I'm seriously thinking of doing so. I paid more for these options and are not getting what I paid for.

Nice, easy to use, great battery life

es tan genial este smartwatch, le dura bastante la batería y además me sorprendió que llegó rapidísimo, dos días antes de la fecha de entrega estimada.

I don’t usually write long reviews, but I felt compelled to do so for the Amazfit Active Smart Watch. I’ve owned smartwatches from some of the big-name brands that cost 2–3 times more, and honestly, this one blows them out of the water in many aspects. The value for money is just incredible. First off, the design is sleek, lightweight, and very comfortable to wear all day long. The Petal Pink color looks elegant and stylish — I’ve received multiple compliments already. Despite the low price point, it doesn't feel cheap at all. In fact, it looks and performs like a premium watch. The battery life is absolutely amazing. I easily get 9-10 days on a single charge (TRUST ME), something I could never dream of with other high-end smartwatches that barely last two days. The GPS tracking is fast and accurate, and the 20+ sports modes are more than enough for any fitness enthusiast. Whether I’m walking, running, cycling, or even doing yoga, the tracking is spot on. The AI fitness coach and sleep tracking are surprisingly advanced and detailed, helping me stay on top of my wellness goals. And the addition of Amazon Alexa is super handy — I can check the weather, set reminders, and control smart devices without reaching for my phone. It connects flawlessly with both Android and iPhone, and the Zepp app is intuitive and full of insights. Overall, this watch gives more features than most high-end models, at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended! Again, trust me the battery life is amazing.

As it says on the box - 14 day battery life - I have been wearing this for 12 days now and it is down to 46% battery life. Admittedly I only get notifications and use the alarm (4 alarms per day) , but its doing everything I wanted it to do. Steps are recorded approx the same as my previous 2 watches for daily walk to/from the supermarket and it has better bluetooth range than previous watches. Shame about the watchfaces - too many cost $$ . My two previous watches were under $80 each , should have just purchased ths one at the beginning (hindsight is wonderful isnt it).

Gran valor por su precio, estoy enamorado de la duración de batería al rededor de 10 días con un uso de gps para correr y deportes de pelota como el Squash y Basketball. Con android puedes responder mensajes desde el reloj y ver fotos que te envían. Con iOS es un poco mas basico, no puedes responder mensajes pero si puede responder llamadas. Es un buen reloj por el precio, no se arrepentirán.

La batería al menos en el uso que yo le doy o tengo configurado solo dura 4 días. La aplicación de Alexa se desconecta frecuentemente y no se mantiene a pesar de dar el servicio. El sistema que tengo es IOS y no me permite responder las llamadas, solo puedo ver quien me marca y los mensajes. Cuenta apropiadamente los ejercicios. Aún no lo pruebo en natación pero por el tipo de material creo debo comprar una corre de silicona. Tiene bocinas, se puede escuchar música a través del celular pero es algo que no uso. Funciona muy bien el GPS a pesar de no estar conectado a una red. Es más rápida la pantalla que el GT4 mini. Se sincroniza bien con la aplicación de salud en el iPhone. Es 5ATM por lo que es sumergible para actividades como natación. Es ligero, bonito, buen color, pero como mencioné por el tipo de material de la correa preferiría comprar una de silicona, al menos en este modelo.
