CES 2025 delivered the Amazfit Active 2, one of my favorite wallet-friendly smartwatches of the year, with a starting price of just $99. New for CES 2026, we get the device’s beefier big brother: the Amazfit Active Max.
A little pricier than the Active 2, the Max boasts a massive screen with better brightness than even the Apple Watch Series 11, seriously long-lasting battery life — I’m talking weeks, not days — and tons of high-end features, all for under $200.
