The latest Amazfit smartwatches are here. The Amazfit Active features various elegant aluminum and stainless steel cases, GPS tracking and supports Bluetooth calling. The Active Edge is the robust version with a reinforced polycarbonate housing and waterproof to 100 meters.
Amazfit Active
The Amazfit Active features a 1.75-inch square AMOLED display with a resolution of 390 x 450 pixels. It is waterproof to 50 meters and supports calls via Bluetooth 5.2 BLE, Amazon Alexa and an offline voice assistant that runs natively on the watch. Zepp OS supports third-party apps and mini-games that you install via the Zepp app. You can also store up to 250 MB of music directly on the watch.
Health monitoring is carried out on the Amazfit Active via the in-house BioTracker PPG sensor with support for heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep and stress monitoring. There is also access to Zepp Coach with personalized training plans, workouts and recovery plans. The watch also has an integrated GNSS receiver with support for GPS, QZSS, BEIDOU, GALILEO and GLONASS.
As usual with Amazfit, the battery lasts quite a long time, although the capacity is only 300 mAh. Up to 14 days are possible with normal use and 16 hours with continuous GPS use. There are silicone and vegan leather straps and three color options – Midnight Black, Petal Pink and Lavender Purple. The price is $150 (€142) in the US, with other regions expected to follow soon.

The Active Edge also supports Bluetooth 5.0 BLE and has the same BioTracker optical PPG sensor and GNSS. The battery has a capacity of 370 mAh and should last up to 16 days with normal use and 20 hours including GPS. The Amazfit Active Edge is available in Lava Black, Midnight Pulse and Mint Green and costs $140 (€126). It is available from Amazfit US and will also be traveling around the world soon.
