The Amazfit Active 2 is Cheap

A GPS smartwatch for $99 is insanely cheap. I’d love to take that one for a spin when it ships. Here’s what Victoria Song from The Verge has to say about it:

It’s too early for me to make a definitive call on the Active 2, but so far, it’s looking like it could be a compelling option for folks who want a simpler smartwatch without breaking the bank.

I just went to the product page and searched for two things trail runners are interested in:

• Sync to 3rd Party Fitness Apps: Strava
• Continuous GPS Usage: Up to 21 hours

Strava connectivity is a must, and they have it. Battery is weak, not usually for LONG ultras, but for most trail runners it would be enough juice for their long runs. We’ll keep an eye out on this product when it actually can be tested in the wild.
