The Amazfit Active 2 is a feature-packed budget running watch with built-in GPS, offline maps and turn-by-turn navigation. It offers a bright 1.32-inch AMOLED display, up to 10 days of battery life, and 160+ sports modes with continuous heart-rate, sleep and health tracking.

One of its standout features at this price is offline maps with turn-by-turn navigation, meaning you can follow routes directly on the watch without needing a phone signal.

Battery life is another highlight. Amazfit says the watch can last up to 10 days with typical use, or around 21 hours of GPS tracking, which should comfortably cover long training sessions and race days.

The watch also offers 160+ sports modes, covering everything from running and cycling to strength training and HYROX-style workouts. Health tracking is handled by Amazfit’s sensors, which monitor heart rate, sleep quality, stress levels and blood oxygen throughout the day.

Add in a bright 1.32-inch AMOLED display that can reach up to 2,000 nits, plus Zepp OS smart features and voice control, and the Active 2 shapes up as a very compelling budget alternative to Garmin’s Forerunner lineup.
