Amazfit Active 3 Premium smartwatch is official
The model flood continues, it seems ... man, Amazfit, please prioritize software for the time being. You just released the Active Max, how is an Active 3 necessary now? :D

Amazfit Active 3 Premium smartwatch is official
Probably the most unneccesary release I've seen from Amazfit, alognside the T-Rex Ultra 2. They haven't been able to keep up with the Helio Strap demand, still unable to sell a single replacement band for the Helio Strap, the calories algorithm is still super high, sports like swimming are still lac

Cheap gear that replaces expensive outdoor gear
Amazfit Active Max watch - great GPS, offline topo maps and 2 weeks on one charge for about $120 right now after all discounts. Garmin fenix is ~$700. Edit: and weighs less than my old analog Altimeter Casio. Edit 2: also trying Amazfit Active 3 premium now. It is smaller and I don't like shiny meta

Does the Amazfit Bip 6 have worse sensors than Active Max / Active 3 Premium?
I meant BioTracker sensor. All current Amazfit devices have the same health sensor. Active Max, and Active 3 Premium surely have the same hardware in regards to the activity tracking (barometer, GPS, gyroscope). Bip 6 has the weaker one, as there's not barometer and no elevation tracking, even by GP

Best watch to pair with Helio Strap
I think all Amazfit watches will suit your needs, especially with a Helio Strap as your base. You already have solid heart rate monitoring anyway, so you mainly just need a screen. It really comes down to what other specific requirements you have. If you don't want to spend much: Get a Bip 6. The

New Watches!!
While it is true that Amazfit releases a high volume of models, the underlying hardware remains largely consistent across their lineup. This standardization actually allows them to update multiple devices simultaneously, with only minor software variations between them. Additionally, I have noticed

Is it good to progress in running ?
There's the guide, in case you want to compare. https://www.reddit.com/r/amazfit/comments/1mh3upo/the_amazfit_watch_guide/ Technically, any watch can be used for running. From the cheap Bip6 to the very expensive T-Rex Ultra 2. However, some things to consider. Comfort (Comes with Design, Size and Wei

Looking to try Amazfit out!
The best price to performance / build quality ratio in the Amazfit lineup is the Balance 2. For an entry level running watch, I’d get the Active 3 Premium. The 4 button design is a huge upgrade over the older Active 2 and Active max, however it doesn’t have dual band GPS like the Balance does if tha

I’ve been out of the loop
Having a large wrist is definitely an advantage. Personally, I have a narrower wrist; the Active 3 Premium is right on the edge of being too big for me: I've seen pictures of the Active Max on people with big wrists, it looks good and doesn't look too big. The Balance 2 seems to be a nice, more prem

Amazfit Helio Strap vs Active 3 Premium vs Active Max — Which one actually makes the most sense?
I think this is entirely accurate regarding the health aspects. Since the T-Rex 3, all devices have been using the same heart rate sensors. The 'health metrics' (especially HRV, RHR, and sleep tracking) aren't really difficult measurements to make because they take place during sleep when you barely
