This $170 Android smartwatch lasted me weeks before needing to charge - and it's not a Garmin

This review covers the Amazfit Active Max smartwatch, a $170 device featuring a 1.5-inch AMOLED display (3,000 nits), up to 25 days of battery life, offline maps (including ski maps), and Zepp app integrations like Food Log and Zepp Coach for adaptive training. It supports calls and Android messaging via built-in speaker/mic, offers camera/music control, and provides robust fitness tracking, but is limited by one size option, sparse third-party app support, and subscriptions for advanced reports; missing features include Strava Live Segments, subscription music, mobile payments, and broader app ecosystems. Overall, it’s praised for design, display, and endurance, challenging affordable competitors, with potential for improvement via software and service integrations.
