Amazfit Active 2 vs Balance 2
Size, specs & wrist fit compared
Which one fits you
Under 17 cm (6.7 in) round, the Balance 2's lugs overhang and the Active 2's do not; the Active 2 fills the wrist at 16.5–18.5 cm, the Balance 2 at 18–20 cm.
What else differs
- Screen: the Balance 2 has the larger screen, 1.5 in across against 1.32 in on the Active 2.
- Battery: 21 days for the Balance 2 against 10 days for the Active 2 in everyday use; 33 hours for the Balance 2 against 21 hours for the Active 2 with GPS on.
2.4mm thinner, the Active 2 is the one that slides under a shirt cuff.
Among the 22 smartwatches 44mm across that we hold thickness for, the Active 2 is thinner than 86%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Balance 2 is 3.5mm wider, 2.4mm thicker and 13.5g heavier than the Active 2.
