Amazfit has officially pulled the curtain back on the Active Max, the latest powerhouse to join its popular Active smartwatch series. Designed to balance a lightweight feel with rugged performance, the chassis weighs in at just 39.5 grams (excluding the strap). The centerpiece of the device is a vibrant 1.5-inch AMOLED display, which features intelligent automatic brightness calibration. Notably, the screen can reach a staggering 3,000 nits of peak brightness, ensuring perfect legibility even under the harshest direct sunlight.
Advanced Fitness Intelligence and Activity Tracking
For athletes and hobbyists alike, the Active Max offers a massive library of over 160 sports modes, ranging from indoor gym sessions to adventurous outdoor excursions. The watch is designed for convenience, featuring automatic workout detection and the ability to pause specific activities. Furthermore, it introduces basic route-creation tools specifically tailored for runners and walkers who want to map out their paths directly from their wrist.
Holistic Health Monitoring and Recovery Insights
The Active Max prioritizes cardiovascular health with 24/7 heart rate monitoring. The system is sophisticated enough to automatically identify your maximum heart rate and training zones, providing instant alerts if your pulse crosses safe thresholds. Beyond the workout, users can access deep-dive analytics via the Zepp app, which tracks training load, recovery time, and sleep quality. It also incorporates Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Amazfit’s proprietary BioCharge energy metric to help users understand their daily readiness.
Long-Lasting Endurance and Precision Navigation
Battery performance remains a standout feature for this model. On a single charge, the Active Max can last up to 25 days under standard conditions. Even for “power users,” the battery provides nearly 14 days of life, while the GPS can run continuously for up to 64 hours. To complement this endurance, the watch supports sophisticated navigation tools, including offline topographic maps, contour lines, and specialized maps for skiers.
Connectivity, Media, and Availability
This smartwatch doubles as a digital hub, equipped with an integrated speaker and microphone for calls, plus 4 GB of internal storage for music and podcasts. It syncs seamlessly with third-party ecosystems like Strava, adidas Running, and Komoot. For users in Europe, the watch includes Zepp Pay for contactless transactions at supported banks.
The Amazfit Active Max is available for purchase as of December 30, 2025, retailing for $169.90.
