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

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

Looking to try Amazfit out!
Amazfit is trying to copy Garmin in many aspects. In some ways successfully, in some not. Look at Active Max, Balance 2XT, Balance 2 and Active 3 premium and choose based on design qnd price. Do note that Balance 2 and Active 3 have screens really prone to smudges. They are all the same feature-wise

I bought the active max, still haven’t received it. Wondering if it’s gonna serve me well.
... Why TradeInn, if I may ask? They are notorious for huge delays. I eventually settled in ordering my Amazfit Balance 2 XT on Ebay, instead of them, despite the low price, due to this... The mineral glass screen- how bad is it compared to the sapphire? I ordered a screen protector on AliExpress bu

Amazfit Active 3 Premium smartwatch is official
Okay, Finally, I'll give a proper take on this. Design wise, I am more on the positive. I do like it. A lot better than the boring and uninspiring Active Max. It's amazing what a coat of paint and change of materials can do, to make a watch look more premium. But damn, the design language, for me is

Amazfit Balance 2 XT vs. Active 3 Premium vs. Active Max?
I haven't tested with the Active Max but with Amazfit, generally, Dual-Band does indeed make a difference, when compared to Single-Band. Dense forests, tall buildings, etc

If you don't have to care for budget, will you still choose Amazfit?
Most expensive Amazfit is $400. Most expensive Amazfit is $550 and it is 100% functional equivalent of the Active Max. Or at least Balance 2. And if you ditch useless dual channel GPS and large screen which Amazfit software can't utilise it is equivalent of Active 3 Premium. So, you see, Amazfit is
