The Amazfit brand, owned by Zepp Health, is known to many for its smart watches, as it previously offered very exciting products at affordable prices. However, in recent years, the brand’s product line has become more complicated due to the appearance of a large number of models and price increases. This, as well as increased competition, led to the company losing its market share.
The brand started to fix itself about a year ago by minimizing its product portfolio and the Amazfit Active became the first watch to open this new chapter for the brand, and today at CES 2025, the Amazfit Active 2 smartwatch was presented (details), which surpasses its predecessor and has a lower price.
The Amazfit Active 2 smartwatch costs only $100 and brings a lot of significant changes. They come with a large round dial, unlike the original, which looks like an Apple Watch and was priced at $150 at the start of sales. In fact, the Amazfit Active 2 replaces the old Amazfit GTR series.
Let’s look at what makes this smartwatch an attractive option in the budget category.
