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?

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

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.

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
