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..

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.

Amazfit Has Done It Again!

I've been using Amazfit products for many years with no complaints, and the Balance 2 XT is no difference. Retains the core features as the much more expensive Balance 2 and I would only recommend the Balance 2 to someone who wants to go scuba diving or needs the extra protection of the sapphire lens.
Amazfit, in general, provides the top notch quality watches while also providing a high quality, highly informative, app experience. It's not at the level of Garmin of Apple but for the price Amazfit gets you North of 90% of the way there for many times less money.
If I had one complaint against Amazfit is they do not support their devices nearly as long as Garmin or Apple, but for the price difference you will have no problem updating your device every couple of years.
While the Amazfit app, Zepp, is available on both Android and IOS there are some nice perks of you're on Android. While IOS users will receive text and email notifications they can only read them. On the Android side you can actually respond to texts from the watch. This is not a Wear OS device so I'm not sure how they did it but it works and works well.
If you're on the fence hop off and give this device a chance. As of this review I only see the Balance 2 XT on Best Buys website so not sure if it's an exclusive because it's not even mentioned on Amazfit's website. Either way it's an excellent watch, looks great, incredible battery life, extensive exercise & wellness tracking, and price well below their competitors. Hope you enjoy your new watch.

If you liked the Pebble Time Steel, or the Pebble Time, just imagine one of those with a touchscreen. An irritant is that you must use GoSMS, the Google native texting app or another SMS app that allows voice replies. Textra doesn't allow this.
This is a phenomenal watch, and is highly recommended. A wee and a half of battery life and very accurate sensors. Get this watch!

I gave this Amazfit smartwatch to my boyfriend as a gift and he absolutely loves it! Right out of the box, the sleek gray-black design looks modern and comfortable on his wrist — he’s been wearing it every day. The bright, sharp display makes checking his stats and notifications super easy, even in sunlight. The battery life is impressive — he doesn’t have to charge it constantly and it holds power really well through daily use. It tracks steps, workouts, heart rate, and even GPS activity, which he uses when he goes out for walks or exercises.
He’s told me multiple times how much he appreciates both the style and functionality — it’s become his go-to everyday watch. An awesome gift that’s both useful and stylish!

Have had numerous Amazfit watches from the GTR3, Trex2 and a original Balance which has been outstanding but unfortunately cracked the screen and needed to replace.
Other than the omission of the BMI sensors it is better in every way compared to the original Balance. Battery life so far is excellent which is why I like Amazfit as compared to Apple and Google that require almost daily charging. I am presently on day 11 of the first charge and still have 30% charge remaining.
I highly recommend Amazfit as the build is excellent, the price is resonable and the integration with Iphone and Android is excellent.

Had a Garmin Fenix before that was no longer connecting to my phone, so instead of spending well over $900, I tried out the Amazfit Balance 2 and I am so happy I did! The battery life is really great, gps/step counting accuracy seems to be great. Plus the apps and modes and features make this watch an absolute steal for the money. I highly recommend it

Good sport watch, most important thing is a GPS that works great. little oversized but is very easy to be seen during exercises. The heart rate is not so precise but works good with a chest belt.

I purchased this watch recently after previously owning a couple Samsung models. My last watch was the Samsung Active 2 so by no means was I using anything current. I just couldn't justify spending 4 or 500 dollars for a Samsung or even more for a Garmin so I started to look at other options.
After weighing these options and researching what I could, I decided on this watch and I am honestly blown away. I wasn't looking for anything super elaborate when it comes to features. I wanted good battery life, a step counter, a heart rate monitor and a watch that would have the ability to track my occasional work out. I didn't really consider sleep tracking because honestly, I hadn't had a watch that could hold a charge for more than a few days and I would regularly charge my old watches at night and forget to put them back on.
The batter life on this watch is unbelievable. I have honestly lost track of how many days I am able to go without charging but it is well over two weeks, closer to three. I get daily updates on my phone of the battery level and I don't take it off to charge it until I am in the 3 - 5 percent range. It charges quickly and even if I don't quite get to 100 percent, it last so long it doesn't matter.
It has all the features I need without paying for the additional service. There is a subscription fee that unlocks a bunch of features and feedback but I only use the free version and it meets my needs completely.
The most useful features are the step counter, work out tracking, heart rate monitor, sleep tracking, stress tracking and also the find my phone feature. It has a ton of free watch face options, the build quality is solid and feels premium. The 47mm watch face is on the larger side, which is exactly what I was looking for but I could see this being too big for smaller wrists. Even if this isn't a perfect fit, I would still recommend Amazfit overall.
If you are on the fence, pull the trigger and get this watch. You won't be disappointed.

I’ve been using the Balance 2 XT for a few weeks now and overall it’s been a pleasant surprise. The screen is big and crisp, workouts get tracked nicely, and the battery feels strong — I went several days without worrying about a charge. It’s comfortable enough for daily wear and has all the health-tracking basics (heart rate, steps, sleep) working smoothly. A really good value for the price, especially if you’re looking for a solid smartwatch without breaking the bank.
That said, it’s not perfect. Some of the premium features I read about on the “regular” Balance 2 model (stronger water resistance, fancier build) are missing here. So if you’re someone who swims a lot, dives, or wants the absolute top-tier build, this might feel a little pared down. But if you just want a dependable, feature-rich watch for everyday use and workouts, I’d say the Balance 2 XT is a smart pick.

I was tired of the 2 day battery life on my galaxy watch 3 and was disappointed to find out most Samsung watches still only give you 2 day battery life. While researching other brands, i came across Amazfit, which has many cool styled watches and all of them with way better battery life. The regular Balance 2 caught my eye but was $300. Then i saw that Best Buy was the only store that sells this XT version and its $100 cheaper. So i buy it and within no time at all its ready to be picked up at the store and i spent the first several days making it perfect. Leaving every health tracking option on, it lasts me about 12 straight days. Charging it only takes about 2 hours. With the Samsung watch, i had to charge it every other night and i couldnt wear it while i slept. While i think the Samsung watch had more watchface options, the Amazfit is better in every other way.

Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase except for the band. The band looks like a cheaper one. They could have improved it. However, we can buy one based on our interest and use it for less than $10. So, it's not a big issue. It's a very good value for the money!

Will try to hit all the points why I love the watch- Long battery life (about 10days with every feature on and 2 to 3 runs a week), the amazing look of the balace 2 but at a lower price. Loading maps is easy, but on hikes you can’t move the map so thats frustrating. Good call quality, A lot of apps on the Zepp app store. Zepp flow AI integration is cool basically gives you chatGPT on your wrist!

I bought this watch as a replacement for my ailing Fitbit Sense 2. I happened to catch it on sale at a great price. I was somewhat unsure about the Amazfit brand compared to other more established brands, but overall I am quite satisfied with my purchase.
