- Battery: 16 days for the Amazfit Active Edge against 2 days for the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 LTE Classic in everyday use.
- Only the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 LTE Classic has an ECG app, contactless payments (NFC), an LTE version and a sapphire lens.
The Amazfit Active Edge and Samsung Galaxy Watch8 LTE Classic share a near-identical 46.6mm case, so on the wrist the difference is thickness and weight.
