The Amazfit Active 2, unveiled at CES 2025 in Los Angeles, is a sleek smartwatch packed with tech and style. With a 1.32-inch circular display in a 44mm stainless steel case, it looks sharp without shouting for attention. But what’s really interesting is the BioTracker 6.0 PPG biosensor—fancy name, but it promises accurate heart rate and sleep tracking, just like a personal health assistant.
Over 160 workout modes are included, so whether you’re doing yoga or prepping for a marathon, this watch keeps up. Sync it with the Zepp App for deeper health insights and data. And the battery? A solid 10 days on a single charge—perfect for people who don’t want to hunt for a charger every few days. The Amazfit Active 2 is a no-nonsense smartwatch that delivers on both form and function, making it a serious contender in the wearable tech game.
Affordable Pricing for Premium Features
The Amazfit Active 2 won’t break the bank—starting at just $99 (around Rs. 8,600) for the silicone strap version. If you’re looking to upgrade to a genuine leather strap, that’ll run you $129.99 (roughly Rs. 11,200). Not bad, right? The smartwatch is already up for pre-order on the official site in the US, with shipping kicking off mid-January. And if you’re outside the States, don’t worry. The Active 2 is making its way to select global markets in February, so no one’s left out.
Top-Notch Display and Design
The Amazfit Active 2 boasts a 1.32-inch circular AMOLED display, with a sharp 466 x 466 resolution and a pixel density of 353ppi—basically, it’s as crisp as your favorite high-def show. The premium model steps it up with sapphire glass, while the standard edition features 2.5D tempered glass with an anti-fingerprint coating—because, you know, nobody wants their smartwatch covered in smudges.
Comprehensive Health Monitoring
Under the hood? The BioTracker 6.0 PPG biosensor takes center stage, claiming to give you spot-on heart rate and sleep cycle tracking. But it doesn’t stop there—this bad boy also tracks blood oxygen, stress levels, skin temperature, and even your readiness scores. All day, every day. You’ll get timely reminders for things like high/low heart rates, low oxygen, and stress spikes. Plus, it nudges you toward stress-busting breathing exercises, and it even has your back with menstrual cycle tracking. It’s like a wellness coach, but without the awkward small talk.
Tailored Fitness Support
The Amazfit Active 2 isn’t just a watch; it’s your all-in-one fitness sidekick. With 164 preset workout modes—including the intense HYROX Race and the smart Strength Training modes—it’s built for anyone who takes their workouts seriously. Whether you’re into running, cycling, or something more niche, this smartwatch has you covered. Plus, it plays nice with Zepp Coach, Zepp App, and popular third-party apps like Strava, Adidas Running, Google Fit, and Apple Health—because we know you’ve got a whole ecosystem for your fitness life.
Battery Life, Water Resistance, and Connectivity Features
Water lovers, don’t sweat it—this thing’s got a 5 ATM water resistance rating, so you can dive in without a second thought. Connectivity-wise, the Active 2 is loaded with Bluetooth 5.2, BLE, five satellite positioning systems, and circularly polarized antenna technology. Basically, it connects fast and stays connected.
Powering all this is a 270mAh battery, which Amazfit claims will last up to 10 days with typical use, or five days if you’re pushing it hard. Need GPS for your adventures? It’ll last up to 21 hours in continuous GPS mode. And for the tech geeks who care about weight—without the strap, the standard version tips the scales at 29.5g, while the premium model is a mere 31.65g.
Conclusion
The Amazfit Active 2 isn’t attempting to overhaul the wheel – it’s simply making it smarter, slimmer, and a ton more accessible. At $99, it’s serving premium features on a budget price offer. Whether you’re a fitness freak counting each pulse or a regular user who doesn’t want a smartwatch to die on you every night, the Active 2 has ample reasons to take up your wrist space. From the battery life to the features, Amazfit might just have found what a modern smartwatch should look like without costing as much as making your wallet cry. That’s what I call a smart action.
FAQs
Q1: Is the Amazfit Active 2’s battery life really as good as they claim?
A: Unless you intend to jog marathons daily while playing your favorite music playlist and tracking your location to the nearest blade of grass, you are considering a device that will last 10 days on a single battery charge. Still, with intense reliance on GPS, you will have 21 hours – more than enough time to get lost and found. The 270mAh battery implies that you spend less time charging and more time doing what you actually need to do – move!
Q2: What makes the BioTracker 6.0 PPG biosensor so special?
A: It’s your own private health sleuth without the hat or glass. This next-gen sensor monitors your heartbeat, stress, blood oxygen, skin temperature and many other things. It’s like having a mini medical team on your wrist notifying you when something is wrong and recommending breathing exercises when you are stressed.
Q3: How does it compare to other smartwatches in terms of price?
A: It starts at $99 for the base model, and it’s like getting a luxury car for the price of a compact car. The premium version with the fancy leather strap will cost you $129.99 – that is still cheaper than a month of fancy coffee. It’s like stealing, legally, for a smartwatch that comes with 164 workout modes, premium health tracking, and a clear AMOLED display. Also, you will not need to sell all your vintage action figures to be able to afford it.
