Smartwatches from big brands like Apple, Google, and Garmin may get all the attention when it comes to wearables, but they’re not the only ones worth considering if you’re in the market for a capable fitness tracker. Amazfit’s Active 2 is a fantastic option if you’re working with a tight budget, and it’s one that touts a surprising amount of features for the price. And right now, it’s on sale at Amazon as a part of Prime Big Deal Days for $80.74 ($19 off), which is 75 cents away from matching its lowest-ever price.

The Active 2 is one of the best fitness trackers you can buy, boasting features typically found only in wearables that cost twice the price. However, despite being relatively cheap, the water-resistant wearable still offers snappy performance, a bright 2,000-nit OLED display, and a solid 10 hours of regular use on a single charge. The comfy wearable, which features a stylish stainless steel case and tempered glass screen, also offers offline maps with turn-by-turn navigation and location tracking, with support for all five major GNSS satellite systems.

All the basic health and fitness features — from steps to calories burned — are included, but Amazfit has also added more advanced perks, such as continuous heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen rate, and menstrual cycle tracking. Additionally, the wearable includes AI-powered features like the Zepp Flow assistant, which lets you issue basic voice commands, and Zepp Coach, which can create personalized training plans. And if you’re willing to pay $77 per year, you can even access the Zepp Aura AI chatbot, which provides tailored insights into your sleep and recovery. It’s not that insightful, but it’s well integrated and relatively quick to respond to your queries.
