Score: 75/100
Amazfit Active 2 Premium
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Amazfit Active 2 Premium is a stylish smartwatch featuring a 1.75-inch AMOLED display and up to 14 days of battery life. Its lightweight stainless-steel construction and built-in GPS make it ideal for everyday wear, though it lacks NFC and advanced sport-mode depth. Best suited for fashion-focused fitness users.
The Apple Watch Series 9 GPS 41 mm offers a bright always-on OLED display and a full suite of health sensors, making it a premium fitness companion. Its main drawback is the relatively short 18-hour battery life and lack of cellular option. Best suited for iPhone users who prioritize health tracking over multi-day endurance.

Professional reviewers commend the Series 8 for its robust health and safety sensor suite, especially the new temperature sensor and Crash Detection, and appreciate the compact 41 mm aluminum case that fits smaller wrists. They also note the seamless iPhone integration and premium build quality, but point out the lower 1,000-nit display brightness and lack of on-device Siri processing as drawbacks compared to the Series 9.
Everyday users consistently praise the watch's comfortable, lightweight design, accurate fitness tracking, and effortless iPhone pairing. Common praise centers on the health alerts and the ease of daily wear, while recurring complaints focus on the short 18-hour battery life, occasional sync hiccups, and the need for daily charging.
