Rank #7 in Best Smartwatch 2026: The Battery Is Quoted Without GPS
Amazfit Active 2 Smart Watch with NFC and Free Maps
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Amazfit Active 2 is a £129.00 smart watch with NFC payments, free maps and built-in GPS, rated 4.4 stars from 2,372 ratings.
It takes seventh place on features rather than evidence, and it is the clearest example on the page of the battery problem: the listing claims 10 days, and its own five-star buyer reports seven.
How those 2,372 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.4 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“What a watch, I love everything about it. The battery life is just epic (7 days easily), and everything just works very well. Easy to set up with the Zepp app on an iPhone 16 pro. And the fact it was just over £100 makes this watch a bargain. I can't see the point buying expensive smart watches, don't waste your money, get one of these.”
