$169.99 buys Amazfit’s new Active Max, a review says, delivering standout value with a bright 3,000-nit AMOLED display, deep fitness features and battery life that can stretch to 25 days.
170-plus sport modes, 4GB of storage, offline maps, NFC payments and call support give the watch a feature set usually seen in pricier rivals from Garmin, Apple and Coros.
GPS is the main compromise: the single-band system can drift off roads and paths, while the chunky 48.5mm black-only design and cluttered Zepp app also fall short.
More than 10 days of battery life in real-world testing and a price below £170 make the Active Max one of the strongest budget smartwatch options for everyday exercisers.
