Active 3 Premium

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

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

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

I previously used the Garmin Vivoactive 5, and earlier this year I switched to the Amazfit Active 3 Premium (which is pretty similar to the Active Max feature-wise). The Vivoactive 5 is a good watch, but its features are somewhat limited. For example, you don't get offline maps and it has fewer smar

From the cheap Bip6 to the very expensive T-Rex Ultra 2. However, some things to consider. Comfort (Comes with Design, Size and Wei

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

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

​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
