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

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

Why 600€ for the Cheetah 2 Pro ?

Great points. I was looking at Videos of the Garmin 70/170, and honestly, the Amazfit Active Max and Active 3 Premium seem to be a better value at $169. Garmin 70- $249 Garmin 170- $299 Garmin 170 music- $349 Amazfit Active 3 Premium & Max - $169 Honestly, Amazfit knows it will continue to bring in

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

The watch is great. The build quality is solid, with a steel bezel and sapphire glass. The four buttons are very convenient during workouts. I can definitely recommend this watch. If you have a larger wrist, you might also want to consider the Active Max. ​Totally off-topic, but if you don't have an

Anyone with the Amazfit Active 3 Premium try Runna?

I have the Active Max and it does work with Runna, you just need to go into your runna settings and turn on the beta setting. At that point, Runna will work with just about every Amazfit watch. I used it a few times with my Active Max and it worked flawlessly. I eventually ditched Runna and went wit
