Amazfit Active In-Depth Review - The BEST Apple Watch Alternative Under $150!

hello. ho did you use maps on the watch?

Wow.. here in Brazil these other watches alternatives are kinda bizarre. The Amazfit Active costs R$700. The Coros Pace 3 is at least 3x more expensive. The Apple Watch SE costs 4,5x more ( almost 3x if you buy from someone that brought from the USA). The price jump is insane. The aternative would be a Huawei GT3, but there are some problems connecting the Huawei Health app with other running apps (like Strava).

Hello can you answer its heart rate senser are head to head in terms of acuracy with Galaxy Watch 6

Thanks for the thorough review! Just one doubt: is the Active able to play audio files/streaming directly from smartphone apps (Spotify, Podcast Addict, etc.)? Just to be clear, I'm not talking about files installed in the Active internal memory, but using its speaker instead of the one in the phone. I don't like using headphones or buds while running, and the sound coming from the watch would be much clearer than from the phone in my pocket (I think). Thank you!

Active or balance?

Thanks for doing this!

Oraimo es 2 it's good watch but without gps

Thanks for this review! I hope Amazfit will allow other HR sensors to connect to it, and its GPS accuracy improves.

Thank you for such detailed review! Got my today and unfortunately I'm returning it - the reason is it has a nickel frame and side button color instead of dark black or gray. I have my old GTS 3 witch is single color (metal gray) and it looks stylish and small on the hand. Why Amazfit Active designer decide to implement nickel frame that makes it look cheap no idea. On all photos it does not look that way :(

Thanks for your review, how is it different from Active Edge? Are you going to review Active Edge?

This or the amazfit 5 or the 3 pro.. Iono I can’t decide..I just wanna track my sleep..steps..heart rate..

Is it 60fps?

How good is Zepp Coach? I feel as a fitness focused watch they should have better waterproofing for swimming instead of making holes for speaker & mic. Anyway this watch seems to be right for me, gonna buy it

AMAZFIT GTS 4 OR AMAZFIT ACTIVE ?

Esperando esse relógio chegar no Brasil...

I have the GTR 4 and for the most part it has done well for tracking, but did have some super weird deviation during my half marathon yesterday. No issues during my big bear, ca ultra though. Weird. I did also have issues/lag with the HR monitor. I picked up the Coros HR Monitor and it has been a lot more consistent and accurate.

Most recreational runner doesnt need more accuracy than this and get more than they need i general health data.
So for most, this watch is "The One".
Most runner bye a running watch way beyond what they actually need and can use to its fullest.
Like the occasional weekend "when the weather is good" cyclist, that invest in some expensive carbon frame, instead of buying a better suited alu-frame and then invest in better food every day.

Thanks! Would be interested to see a comparison to the Bip 5😎

I had the T Rex Pro and I returned it because the stupid thing would count steps when I would move my arms, so every time I would do dishes or work with my hands it would count steps even though I wasn't actually walking lol Garbage watches. Never again.

Top-notch work!

Would this be better than the Polar Unite which is slightly cheaper? I don't need GPS since I just need to measure indoor exercise (elliptical, bike and rowing machine).

Your reviews are amazing! I have one simple suggestion: why don't you show the numbers (size, weight, resolution, etc) on the screen? It would be much easier for people to get them, especially non-native English speakers :)

Is this can broadcast hr to another device?

Compared to the surprisingly well feature packed Amazfit Balance this watch is a pretty big step backwards. I don't know how anyone at these chinese smart watch brands can think pairing an external heart rate monitor isn't necessary in 2024. This missing feature was the reason number 1 for me switching to a brand that supports this inexpensive and easy to implement feature!

I have the Amazfit T Rex, Cheetah and Falcon,just like the watch you just videoed, Amazfit for the price is great,but however,Garmins forerunner 965 has stolen my heart, because it's just a great watch,and GPS is way more accurate, thanks brother

Amazing specs and capabilities for such a low price.

It still baffles me that a 150$ Apple Watch replica can still have a longer lasting battery life than an ACTUAL Apple Watch

tbh this is the reason i like watching you more. not everyone is a triathlon and a sport guy. your videos shows that there are always a suitable watch for everyone. i used to think youre biased to garmin lol hahahahah but as time goes by i change my mind! good video tho you sold me at the amazfit balance video!🤣. super happy with it. good gps, good hr, and most importantly good battery!

amazfit does not have hrv yet, no?

Don t go wrong, Chinese Software is horrible.

Whoaa honestly love your reviews they are the best! Never been disappointed with your recommendations and you give enough info, stats and specs, real usage AND it’s not overwhelming. So glad to be early

man i clicked on my subbox just at the right time
