Amazfit Active Smart Watch, 1.75" AMOLED Display, GPS, iOS/Android

Update: 10/2025: After a year my Amazfit Active is still getting 10 days on a single charge. Absolutely love this watch. Great at doing everything it claims! Exercise, sleep, heart stats and all. Highly recommend! Update: 12/2024: Yes I believe it can be a fragile watch and yes I believe you should keep it away from all water and do not tempt fate with a shower or swimming pool, but that being said.... Tech support came through for me and replaced my watch with a new one when it was probably my fault for getting into a swimming pool with the watch on. The Zepp app has significant improvements. I like it! I use my watch a lot with daily treadmill and weightlifting exercises. Is the algorithm scientifically perfect. I doubt it, but it is terrific for me. The Bluetooth reception is phenomenal. I can literally be nearly 40 ft away from my phone in a completely different room with walls in between and answer a phone call/talk with the watch. So many watch faces to choose from! The battery life, even with exercise, easily gives me up to 14 days. Amazfit has hired a few more support members for US customers. Extremely happy! I will replace this with another Amazfit Active if it becomes necessary to do so. Update: "This watch is returned frequently" quote from Amazon. The Amazefit Active is fully equipped with all the bells and whistles. However, it will last about one year. The toll free number for support says they are no longer accepting phone calls and then says there is only one person for all of North America. Purchase with your "eyes wide open". I like the watch as Smart Watches go, but I can tell this is going to be a fragile piece of equipment. Do not shower or swim with it. Also, there's no protection between the charger and the contacts underneath the watch. All the crud that gets on the skin will be transferred to the charging contact points. The battery life of 14 days is an absolute truth. The calling and speaking function of the watch is a bit distorted. It works, but don't buy it for the answering and speaking purpose. It uses the app called Zepp. I do not believe it is scientifically accurate, but I do use it to count my calories, my steps, get my text messages and send text message responses, replace watch faces and a lot more. It also allows you to do voice to text responses to SMS messages. Pretty cool. I suggest you buy a screen protector if scratches on the watch face drive you crazy. In summary, I suggest you will need to purchase a new one each year if you fall in love with the watch.

This is my third Amazfit watch and I love it as much as the others. The first was lost but the second is working great and is my backup. These smart watches are very economical, durable, and perform well as an everyday watch or workout watch. Battery life is a real standout -- I rarely charge more than every two weeks. The phone app makes changing watch faces and setting options quite simple. I also need to mention the fast response and accurate information provided any time I have questions. All around, an excellent product and excellent company.

I've had several Amazfit watches over the years. My current favorite is the GTR4 (round, feature-packed, nice looking watch). I had always wanted to get the GTS4 (the square version) for a second choice, but couldn't bring myself to spend the money for it (It was around $150 at the time - still a good price, but I felt guilty, since the GTR4 was already so great!). Then the Amazfit Active came along for $84, so I decided to get it. I'm so happy I did. I got the black color, but it comes in a few more. I love the watch! It's super lightweight and feels great on my wrist. I even like the fold under strap - nice and neat. This little watch is pretty much the GTS4 minus a few features. It doesn't have a barometer or altimeter (but it does have a compass), no automatic brightness, and no camera remote (I think you can actually get one if you pay for an app). There isn't storage space on the watch for music, which doesn't bother me, since I don't store music on my GTR4, anyway. Other than that, I can't think of any features it doesn't have that my other watch does; and for everyday use, I don't miss those features. There is a single flat button on the side (no rotating crown), and I think it makes this watch look more sleek and compact. There are a ton of free watch faces, and the app store with many of the same apps as I have on the GTR4. The vibration is strong enough to wake me when I'm sleeping. The speaker is not quite as loud as the GTR4, but loud enough for telephone calls. Texting has the added feature of using a tiny keyboard to type responses, which I've actually been able to do when my phone was charging, so a pretty cool feature. The GPS is accurate. I believe it can do some of the same navigation that the GTR4 does (primitive map display, bread crumbs, return route), but I don't know how big of a route you can store on it, since I haven't used that feature (I'd take the larger watch with the extra memory on a hike). The heartrate, steps, sleep tracking, blood O2, and other health features are the same as the GTR4. The display, while smaller, is still easy to read and contains all the information you need in texts, health data, etc. Battery life is very good. I average about 10 days with moderate GPS use (walks or bike rides in my neighborhood, an hour at a time, three or four days a week). All in all, this is a great watch, and I'm happy I decided on this rather than the GTS4 (By the way, as of this writing, the GTS4 is $129!). I highly recommend this watch, and the Amazfit brand in general.

The Amazfit Active is an affordable smartwatch with lots of bells and whistles. I originally purchased the GTS 4, but found the stem was bulky and placed illogically with the slightest wrist bend taking me to the menu screen or rebooting itself. The Active is pretty much identical in shape and functionality but with a flat button making it less prone to accidental pushing by wrist movement and workout gloves. I am not wild about the silicone strap. It feels cheap and I'm having a hard time finding the right hole to ensure a decent fit on my small wrist. Amazfit makes a "vegan leather" strap for the pink watch it sells but I haven't found any replacement bands explicitly stating they fit the Active, which makes me hesitant to look for an aftermarket band. The app is okay, but for unknown reasons, some of the settings available with the GTS 4 don't seem to be available for the Active. For example, with the GTS 4, the app/watch was happy enough with the approximate location for displaying weather info. Not so for the Active. It annoys me it won't let me enter a zip code or an approximate location. The exercise/exercise settings feature is difficult to use and set up. I haven't been able to find a way to customize strength training so I tried using the generic indoor fitness (or one of the other ones) but that, too, insisted on counting sets. I would think you could control at least some of the settings in the app but if there's a way, I haven't found it. My last gripe with the app is it reminds me every time I open the app functionality may be limited if I don't give it full access to everything it wants to access. I know this and I don't care. I CHOOSE TO TURN OFF SOME OF THE PERMISSIONS. Yet every single time I open the app, I have to select GOT IT and then exit out of the permissions settings on my phone. If you don't need a NAMED watch, the Amazfit Active has a nice design, good performance, great battery life and decent price point.

My first smartwatch and I love it!!! It does everything I need it to do and more. Also,I got the case protector with built in screen and the different color watchbands and it looks awesome!!! I definitely recommend it!!!! Bluetooth works well and you can turn it on and off. I wear it to record my sleep, for reminders and events, getting weather and my calendar, and getting my 10,000 steps in everyday. I have over 20 watchfaces in it. Gps is built in and works pretty accurate. It has over 100 types of excersizes and activities. You can upload songs to it from your phone. From Zepp you should download the watch storage app for free so you know when you've reached your limit on storage space. Has many free and useful apps. Works with the Zepp App formerly amazfit and is easy and self explanatory. I also connect to my phone, so i don't have to grab my phone, i get messages & text back, and also the watch will ring on my wrist and i pick it up and talk. It is waterproof, but i haven't wet my watch yet. I've been very cautious with it. I charge it every 10 to 11 days. I love this watch. It really is amazing and has so many features, everyday i learn something new about my Amazfit Active watch. You won't regret it. My advice is do alot of research and read alot before buying and make sure that it is really what you need. I waited 4 months and now I'm truly happy with my purchase! Hope this is helpful to those of you that need a good smartwatch. Thank you and Goodluck! New update as of Jan.19 2025- well it will be a year in march 2025 and my amazfit is still working amazing. I have been using for tracking my steps and excersize and for sleep. I have lost over 40lbs and feel great. I needed motivation and this watch helped me find it. I definitely recommend this watch. Also with new updates, the watch can do so many new things like texting directly from watch with and without emojis, it didn't do it before but with update it's so awesome. I'm thinking about getting another one. A shinier one just to wear when i go out to social events. I love amazfit and i highly recommend it. I give it 10 stars.

UPDATE: I decided to keep the watch and now I'm sorry I did. I finally got my watch connected to Alexa and now I am living the adage "Be careful what you wish for!". Now, every 2 to 5 minutes my watch vibrates and I get the message "Alexa" and nothing more. I have disconnected my Alexa account, to no avail. It is so annoying that I have stopped wearing my watch. I've looked online and I've seen that this is a problem with this watch. There is no way to remove Alexa and I've run out of ideas as to how to fix this. So disappointed as I really like to watch when I first got it. But now, with this Alexa glitch and not being able to use custom watch faces, it's not worth the extra money I paid. When I first got this watch I was really happy with it. I liked that I could create my own watchface. I uploaded a picture of our Christmas tree and used it over the holidays. Today, I decided to change my watch face to a picture of the Baltimore Ravens. I soon discovered that I am no longer able to upload a picture to create the custom watchface. Also, I bought this watch because it said it was Alexa enabled. I get a message that says "Please update Zepp app to the latest version and complete Amazon account authorization in profile" whenever I try to use Alexa on my watch. However, I have the latest version of Zepp. And whenever I try to link my watch to my Amazon account in the Zepp app, it just spins and never connects. Consequently, I do not have Alexa on my watch. I can buy a much less expensive watch to do what this watch does, without the customization and Alexa abilities. I have a week until I can return this watch and I'm seriously thinking of doing so. I paid more for these options and are not getting what I paid for.

I really like this Amazfit Active Watch. The face is somewhat smaller than most other fitness watches, and more rectangular in shape, so it doesn't look huge on your arm. The battery life is well over a week, and it has lots of features. I find most of the watch faces they offer are meant for kids (anime, cartoons, flowers, etc.), but I finally found two watch faces that I liked, but they are programmed in Portuguese, with no way to change it to English. The watch face displays the first three letters, for the day of the week, and when Friday rolls around, in Portuguese Friday is: "Sexta-feira," so the watch displays those first three characters, which looks ridiculous (See photos.) Their customer support is excellent and they do respond quickly via email. The only problem with the band that comes with the watch, is it is very short. I have a 7.5" wrist and I had it on the third hole, so I don't see how the watch band would fit a man's arm. I bought a different resin band so that worked out. I am happy with the purchase even with the watch face issues.

I love this watch. It syncs so well with the Zepp app. I can read texts and see my calendar and weather without pulling out my phone. I like that ud has a traditional watch bans also.

مع اني اشتريت الساعه بعد مرور اكثر من ثلاث سنوات على اصدارها.. الا ان مميزاتها وجودتها لا تقل عن الساعات الحاليه وباقل من ثلث السعر. البطارية ممتازة. ونظام التشغيل يعطي تطبيقات كثيرة ومتجددة..

I don’t usually write long reviews, but I felt compelled to do so for the Amazfit Active Smart Watch. I’ve owned smartwatches from some of the big-name brands that cost 2–3 times more, and honestly, this one blows them out of the water in many aspects. The value for money is just incredible. First off, the design is sleek, lightweight, and very comfortable to wear all day long. The Petal Pink color looks elegant and stylish — I’ve received multiple compliments already. Despite the low price point, it doesn't feel cheap at all. In fact, it looks and performs like a premium watch. The battery life is absolutely amazing. I easily get 9-10 days on a single charge (TRUST ME), something I could never dream of with other high-end smartwatches that barely last two days. The GPS tracking is fast and accurate, and the 20+ sports modes are more than enough for any fitness enthusiast. Whether I’m walking, running, cycling, or even doing yoga, the tracking is spot on. The AI fitness coach and sleep tracking are surprisingly advanced and detailed, helping me stay on top of my wellness goals. And the addition of Amazon Alexa is super handy — I can check the weather, set reminders, and control smart devices without reaching for my phone. It connects flawlessly with both Android and iPhone, and the Zepp app is intuitive and full of insights. Overall, this watch gives more features than most high-end models, at a fraction of the cost. Highly recommended! Again, trust me the battery life is amazing.

As it says on the box - 14 day battery life - I have been wearing this for 12 days now and it is down to 46% battery life. Admittedly I only get notifications and use the alarm (4 alarms per day) , but its doing everything I wanted it to do. Steps are recorded approx the same as my previous 2 watches for daily walk to/from the supermarket and it has better bluetooth range than previous watches. Shame about the watchfaces - too many cost $$ . My two previous watches were under $80 each , should have just purchased ths one at the beginning (hindsight is wonderful isnt it).

Gran valor por su precio, estoy enamorado de la duración de batería al rededor de 10 días con un uso de gps para correr y deportes de pelota como el Squash y Basketball. Con android puedes responder mensajes desde el reloj y ver fotos que te envían. Con iOS es un poco mas basico, no puedes responder mensajes pero si puede responder llamadas. Es un buen reloj por el precio, no se arrepentirán.

La batería al menos en el uso que yo le doy o tengo configurado solo dura 4 días. La aplicación de Alexa se desconecta frecuentemente y no se mantiene a pesar de dar el servicio. El sistema que tengo es IOS y no me permite responder las llamadas, solo puedo ver quien me marca y los mensajes. Cuenta apropiadamente los ejercicios. Aún no lo pruebo en natación pero por el tipo de material creo debo comprar una corre de silicona. Tiene bocinas, se puede escuchar música a través del celular pero es algo que no uso. Funciona muy bien el GPS a pesar de no estar conectado a una red. Es más rápida la pantalla que el GT4 mini. Se sincroniza bien con la aplicación de salud en el iPhone. Es 5ATM por lo que es sumergible para actividades como natación. Es ligero, bonito, buen color, pero como mencioné por el tipo de material de la correa preferiría comprar una de silicona, al menos en este modelo.
