Amazfit Active Max

Amazfit Active Max is a watch from 2025, sitting in the budget band at an indicative $169.

It reads 18 of the 33 signals this comparison tracks. Full coverage of activity. Nothing at all from body composition.

By sensor class: 10 at consumer grade. That grade is my classification of the hardware, not a lab test. Those readings come from an optical heart rate sensor, an optical blood oxygen sensor, a skin temperature sensor, a GPS receiver, a barometer and an accelerometer. Blood oxygen is a spot reading you take yourself, not a continuous one.

Its 25 days per charge are the 15th longest of the 76 devices of its kind here that publish a figure. The AMOLED screen can stay always on. Built-in GPS. Rated 5ATM / 50m, fine for swimming. It weighs 39 g. On top of the tracking it also handles music on the device, contactless payments and offline maps. Case size 48.5mm. No subscription is required.

End of 2025, a big-screen budget watch with 25-day battery, offline and ski maps.
