The brand specialises in fitness trackers and wearables, and looks to challenge the likes of Garmin , Apple , Samsung and Google with its budget-friendly models that have excellent health tracking.

While the launch headlined its newest Amazfit Active 3 Premium and the Helio Strap a screenless wearable taking aim at the Fitbit Air and Garmin Cirqa Amazon has discounted a couple of older Amazfit models for a limited time, making them even more affordable.

The Amazfit Active 2 is my top pick, and is currently 20% off, bringing the price down to justAU$159.20 . Even at full price it was a great buy, but this discount makes the already affordable smartwatch even more enticing. Save 20% (AU$39.80) Amazfit Active 2: was AU$199 now AU$159.20 at Amazon

Our Amazfit Active 2 review gave the watch a perfect 5 stars thanks to its classic design, excellent health tracking and 10-day battery life. Weve also named the Active 2 the best overall cheap smartwatch , beating out the likes of the Apple Watch SE 3 and the Garmin Forerunner 165. Be quick, as there are only a few hours left before the deal ends tonight. View Deal For less than AU$160, youll be getting a 1.32-inch AMOLED screen with 2,000 nits max brightness, downloadable maps, 160-plus workout modes, an AI coach, a heart health tracker, a cycle tracker and nutrition tracking, to name a few. Theres also voice control and message replies, which you cant find in most Garmin watches.

Our reviewer said they were frankly astounded at the amount of features in
the Active 2 considering its price, even saying its impressive for a smartwatch of any price tag, let alone one with an RRP of less than AU$200. Features like ECG and on-device GPS were highlighted as standout features
that are usually found in pricier watches.The review also praised the Amazfit Active 2s classic stainless steel design that looks more subtle and understated compared to other smartwatches, although they found the fit of
the leather strap wasnt perfect.

One nitpick they had was the absence of NFC for on-device card payments via Zepp Pay, as the feature is only available in the Amazfit Active 2 Premium model, but thats hardly a complaint for something this affordable especially with this discount.

Want something even cheaper? The 4-star Amazfit Bip 6 is also discounted at AU$103.20 . Today's best Amazfit Active 2 deals 99.99 View Deal 100.07 Preorder We check over 250 million products every day for the best prices
