Balance 2
Which one fits you
On wrists narrower than about 50mm, the Amazfit Active is the safer pick — it stays proportionate down to roughly 38mm, where the Amazfit Balance 2 starts to hang over the edge. Above 50mm both sit cleanly, and the Amazfit Balance 2 gives you more presence.
The Amazfit Balance 2 wears larger than the Amazfit Active (47.4mm vs 42.36mm case), giving it more wrist presence — and needing a wider wrist to sit cleanly.
The Amazfit Active is the slimmer of the two (10.75mm vs 12.3mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.
On the wrist the Amazfit Active feels lighter (27g vs 43g, case only).
Among the 723 42mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit Active is thinner than 87%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
Among the 83 47mm watches we hold thickness for, the Amazfit Balance 2 is thinner than 81%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
