Amazfit Active Edge Smart Watch - Mint Green

Functionality:I primarily use this watch for my running sessions. It has built-in GPS, so I don’t need to bring my phone while running outdoors. The watch allows you to reply to text messages using pre-made replies from the app. It can receive phone call notifications but cannot answer them directly from the watch. It also has the typical functions of a smartwatch. Quality:On day 2 of use, I accidentally bumped this watch into a metal box while walking. Surprisingly, it only got a small scratch that’s barely noticeable.I'm satisfied with this purchase. Kudos to the developers of the Zepp App as well. I’ll update this review once I’ve tested other workouts like swimming.Thank you, Amazfit.

Great watch when it worked

We bought this for my husband to use as a fitness tracker. The price is a bargain and it connects to his chest-strap heartrate monitor. The style is great, the watch appears durable, and has a great rugged look.After one month of use the watch stopped working and continuously tries to reset and is stuck in a 'restore and activate' screen. Amazfit was not able to help as we purchased the watch at Walmart so it is outside of their warranty. We are going to try to return in-store and find a better option.

Just What I Was Looking For

The Active Edge has been great so far. I love the look and it fits comfortably. The watch and app are easy to navigate.Heart rate tracking has been accurate and nearly spot on with other brand fitness trackers and chest strap. The only activity it has struggled with heart rate accuracy during has been Zumba. Probably due to all of the arm movement-but I find the same thing happens with other fitness trackers too, so I just connect my chest strap and problem solved.GPS has also been very good and accurate so far. I've used it for several walks and runs around town without any issues.Pulse Ox and and sleep tracking also seem pretty accurate. I love that I can choose the hours to keep the screen from turning on when I'm asleep, so no sudden bright lights in my face ... MoreThe Active Edge has been great so far.

Pretty, pretty good

I had a Garmin Forerunner 735 that mysteriously died. Wanted to try something a little lower pricepoint. Does this do Everything? No, but everything i need! Counts my strokes and distance while swimming, running analytics are great, and it offers so, so many other sports options. And the battery life has been great for the 1st month ive had it. Only charged it twice! And im working out 3-5 times a week.Cons: hasnt figured out change in swim stroke (breast, fly, back). Doesnt offer drills (kicking). But my workaround is just to start new laps, and then adding the missing ydg to Strava manually later.Highly recommend for the "im not a crazy infatuated triathletes". It covers the basics really, really well and has a lot of great options i didnt expect for a ... MoreI had a Garmin Forerunner 735 that mysteriously died.
