Amazfit Balance 2 review

Amazfit Balance 2 is the pick for someone who wants smartwatch notifications and detailed health data without a charger on the nightstand. Amazfit lists up to 21 days of typical battery life and up to 33 hours with GPS running, far beyond the daily charging of Apple and Google watches. It also packs features that usually cost more: sapphire glass, a 2,000 nit display, dual-band GPS, free offline maps with golf course and ski resort maps, 10 ATM water resistance and dive modes for freediving and recreational scuba to 45m. HybridCharge brings BioCharge, LifeLoad and Training Load together for a daily readiness view, and Amazfit says the Zepp App has no subscription fees for workout and recovery data. Two speakers handle Bluetooth calls. The limits are in phone integration: typed QWERTY message replies are marked as Android only, and the US page does not mention tap-to-pay. At $299.99 it is the cheapest long battery watch on this list.
