Amazfit Active 2 Sport
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Amazfit Active 2 Sport offers a large 1.75-inch AMOLED display, built-in GPS and up to 14 days of battery life, targeting budget-conscious fitness fans. It lacks NFC and can suffer occasional Bluetooth connectivity issues. Perfect for users who prioritize long endurance and a wide range of sport modes.
The COROS Pace 3 provides solid dual-frequency GPS accuracy, long battery life and lightweight strap options in a 1.2" transflective LCD watch. Its heavier 150 g case, absence of built-in audio and limited mapping features are notable drawbacks. Suited for runners and triathletes who prioritize battery and GPS over extensive smartwatch features.
