I can assure you, it's prettier in person. And the best thing about it, they seem to have listened to the complaints about the lack of oleophobic coating on sapphire screens. I've swiped on the screen a lot, since I am still getting used to the 4-button layout. So far, no smudges.

The active 2 was my first lifestyle watch so my use cases was smart features + fitness (outdoor running) which worked well, but as I started to do more running I found the gps didn't work as well in London so live pace can be a little off. The C2P feels snappier on the interface, GPS feels more lock

The bezels are so ugly to me. The bezels was the main reason why I got active 2. But I don’t understand why Amazfit doesn’t fix it. Even cheap Chinese watches now come with minimal bezels. It’s either they’re too lazy and know people will buy their watches regardless or they actually can’t figure ou

That garmin has no offline mapping at all. If you're getting reimbursed, why not the cheetah 2 pro? It's a brand new running watch, top of the line with a lot of goodies including a torch. Otherwise the active 3 is a good choice, but has no double band gps which could be bad for your running stats i

Thanks for the review, you are one bold guy! :) Those real life pictures of yours make the bezel even more prominent. In general I like the watch, but there's no way I'd pay €450 for a 48mm, 1.32" screen, 50m WR watch.

This plastic bezel on top is so ugly. I get it, probably becouse of antennas, but I like more garmin approach with plastic on sides. Also as mentioned shallow lugs and swiss cheese strap also not my forte. But, yeah interesting design overall. From pics I think there is enough rooom to change nylon

Not a review but I did want to showcase it. And it's no problem. I wanted to use it as my running watch. In general I like the watch, but there's no way I'd pay €450 for a 48mm, 1.32" screen, 50m WR watch. No problem. I couldn't see myself using a T-Rex, so this is honestly a sleeker replacement, as
