With the Active Max, Amazfit has introduced a new model within the Active series. I had the opportunity to take a look at the watch in advance and test it for over two weeks.<\/div>\n

As recently as February 2025, Amazfit launched the Active 2, a smartwatch with one of the strongest price-to-performance ratios currently available. Now, Amazfit is doubling down with the Active Max – the larger, more ambitious sibling of the Active 2. That alone makes it worth a closer look, especially since the Active 2 itself never made it onto my wrist.<\/p>\n

Active Max in comparison<\/h2>\n

The Active Max is part of Amazfit’s Active series, but it does not represent a standalone generation within the product line. From my point of view, it’s a variant of the Active 2 with sensible enhancements and size-related adjustments. Accordingly, the watch primarily has to stand comparison with the Active 2.<\/p>\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n
