I had a Samsung Galaxy watch before but it had died so I was looking for a replacement. Personally I use a smartwatch for the notifications, basic heart rate tracking, and some handy features like timers, phone calls and flashlight. Basically anything that prevents me from having to pull my phone out of my pocket is great. Also one major downfall of my old watch was how often I had to charge it - every day! I hadn't heard of Amazfit before but a friend of mine had one and let me try it out. I was impressed by the app, and the features of the watch - especially considering the price. But his model was on the bigger side (which some people prefer). I wanted something less clunky. So that's how I can across the Active 2. You can't beat the price, it looks fantastic, the battery lasts for at least 5 days, and it has many more features and is extremely customizable. Also given it's smaller size and long battery life, I can wear it at night with no problem (which is a must if you want to use it for sleep tracking - another handy feature), and it suffers less wear and tear because I'm not accidentally knocking on things like I did with the clunkier watches I've used before. I'm writing this after 4 months of wearing the watch and I would buy this one again!
