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.

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.

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.

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.

This Amazfit watch is an improvement over my last Amazfit watch when it comes to technology. The battery life does seem shorter.

I *want* to love Amazfit products - the hardware is great and the pricing is nice - but something about the software that I can't put my finger on makes me go back to other smartwatches. The screen is bright and colorful, the battery life is great, the exercise and sleep tracking seems accurate. But I've owned a few Amazfit watches and this is so far the best.

It is compatible with iPhones. I just had to download the app and really good for tracking fitness. I can live without it.

Maybe the one I bought was a lemon. It did not track distance properly, could only download a few songs in Spotify before it would say it lost the connection with Spotify, would randomly turn off Wi-Fi, and numerous new watch faces would appear in only a dark red color. Spent a day trying to get it to work properly.
