    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.

    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.

    Fantastic watch - Impossible to beat at this price

    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 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.

    This does every single thing thay I need it to do without the hefty price tag of some of the other brands. It also has a strong vibration for morning alarms which lets me wake up and go to the gym or start my day without waking my partner. I love this watch!

    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!
