Amazfit’s affordable, 5-star Apple Watch rival just got a surprise sequel — and it promises ‚meaningful progress‘ for runners

• Amazfit has launched the Active 3 Premium smartwatch
• It follows the Amazfit Active 2, which we loved
• The watch is available to buy now for $169.99 / £169.90 / AU$TBC

We were completely wowed by the Amazfit Active 2 smartwatch when it launched last year, giving it a five-star rating and praising its value-for-money proposition compared to the best Apple Watches — and now there’s a brand new sequel that also looks very promising.

The Amazfit Active 3 Premium picks up where its predecessor left off, and importantly, keeps a relatively affordable price tag. Amazfit says the watch is designed to turn „daily movement into meaningful progress“, through structured training programs, health data insights, and route navigation features.
