Amazfit - Balance 2 XT Smartwatch 47mm Silicone - Gray / Black - (2025)

I love the Amazfit brand products .. have several watches and they work great .. for the prices they are hard to beat .. the Zepp app is very fluid and all the metrics you could want .. the balance os my daily wear watch .. sold my Apple Ultra and Garmin Fenix 8.. over priced and battery life it terrible on the Apple Watch .. The balance 2 gives me everything I need and getting about 2 weeks of charge!Calls, text message and workout apps are great .. gps is spot on comparable to the heavy hitters l..

This isn't a bad smartwatch for the price. You get outstanding battery life. I was getting 21 days with AOD off. With AOD on and everything turned on for health tracking I was getting 12 days. The GPS is really good. It recorded my routes perfectly. The speaker on it for taking calls is a little on the quiet side. But it's still useful if your hands are tied and you're not wearing a Bluetooth headset. Using the microphone on it to reply to text messages works really well. That might be what I'll miss most. The screen is made with gorilla glass not sapphire. But I had zero issues with it. My one real gripe, is it would stop receiving notifications quite often. I had to keep turning off settings and turning them back on. They would work again for about a week. Rinse and repeat. Amazfit support just kept telling me to do this. It was frustrating so I ended up returning the watch. But if you're looking for an inexpensive watch that can do just about everything, give it a shot. I'll put a thumbs up for recommendation because it works and mostly works well. But it's a thumbs down if you want reliable notifications.

I’ve owned multiple Apple Watches over the years, but after purchasing the Amazfit Balance 2XT from Best Buy, I can honestly say this watch delivers incredible value for the price. It has exceeded my expectations in both fitness tracking and everyday health monitoring. The fitness features are extremely detailed and accurate. From heart rate tracking and sleep analysis to workout performance, recovery insights, stress monitoring, and daily activity goals, it gives me a complete picture of my health journey without feeling overwhelming. I also appreciate how long the battery lasts compared to my Apple Watches — not having to charge it constantly is a huge advantage. What impressed me most is that even at a much cheaper price point, the Amazfit Balance 2XT still feels premium and packed with useful applications and smart features. The interface is smooth, notifications work well, and the overall user experience feels polished and reliable for everyday use. If you want a smartwatch that helps you stay accountable with your fitness and health goals while saving money compared to more expensive brands, this is definitely worth considering. Great value, strong performance with a really long battery life, and an excellent alternative to higher-priced smartwatches.

I was looking for a watch with a long battery life and I’m completely satisfied with what I’ve got. The only thing that is not as great as it could’ve been is the app for the watch and software in general. The style and quality of the band is not the best too.

The Balance 2 XT is a great watch. It has a good looking case that looks nice and rugged without being over the top. The LED display is sharp and very bright. It has a big battery that is supposed to last 21 days. I generally charge it every night so I don't know if it will meet that, but after a full day of general use it has always had over 95% of charge left. It has all the features I needed like GPS tracking, workout modes, step count, heart rate, op2 sensor. I'm very happy with my purchase.
