Summary
Highlights
The Amazfit Active 2 has a circular 1.32-inch screen, while the Fit 4 Pro has a slightly larger 1.82-inch square screen. The Fit 4 Pro boasts superior materials, including a sapphire crystal display, titanium alloy bezel, and aluminum alloy body, compared to the Active 2's stainless steel bezel and reinforced polymer frame (for the sports version). Both weigh around 30g. The Fit 4 Pro offers more color options and a brighter screen (3000 nits) than the Active 2 (2000 nits), leading to better visibility in bright conditions for the Fit 4 Pro.
The video introduces a comparison between the Amazfit Active 2 and the new Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro. The Amazfit Active 2 is presented as a complete and cost-effective smartwatch, while the Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro, though more advanced, is significantly more expensive, costing roughly the equivalent of two Amazfit Active 2s plus an Amazfit Bip 6.
Both smartwatches offer similar battery life, lasting between 6 to 8 days depending on usage. In terms of notifications and calls, the Amazfit Active 2 is more comprehensive. It allows reading more text from messages and emails, including viewing stickers and photos. It also allows replying to notifications in five ways, including voice transcription, for both Android and iPhone users. The Fit 4 Pro only allows replies via emoticons, quick responses, or a dialing keyboard for non-Huawei Android devices, and does not support replies from iPhones. The Fit 4 Pro lacks a dialing keypad for calls, limiting direct calls.
The Amazfit Active 2 is better for sports, offering over 160 training modes with advanced metrics for activities like gym workouts and ball sports. The Fit 4 Pro has over 100 modes, but offers advanced metrics for specific activities like Golf (with 15,000 maps) and diving (up to 40m depth). The Fit 4 Pro excels in GPS, featuring dual-band GPS, which is much faster and more accurate than the Active 2's GPS. While both provide similar activity records, each offers unique metrics not found in the other. The Fit 4 Pro also offers a clearer visualization of offline maps and route guidance.
The Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro shows slightly more precise heart rate measurements, especially for maximum and average heart rates, and time spent in heart rate zones, due to its advanced TrueSains technology. It also offers advanced health features like electrocardiograms (ECG) and arterial stiffness measurement, which the Amazfit Active 2 lacks. Both monitor sleep effectively, though the Active 2 provides more detailed heart rate variability graphs. For music, the Fit 4 Pro offers larger storage and allows connecting wireless headphones. The Active 2 has a voice assistant (even for iPhones), while the Fit 4 Pro's Celia assistant only works with Huawei phones. The Fit 4 Pro will soon support NFC payments via Quick Wallet, while the Active 2's NFC is only available in its premium version. The Amazfit ecosystem offers a wider variety of third-party apps compared to Huawei's App Gallery.
The reviewer asks viewers for their opinions. The Fit 4 Pro's limitations include restricted notification replies and voice assistant functionality without a Huawei phone, and the lack of a dialing keypad. However, its design and sensor precision are superior. The Amazfit Active 2 is superior in notifications, calls, and advanced sports configurations. Despite the Fit 4 Pro's technological advancements, the Amazfit Active 2 remains a highly competitive option due to its comprehensive features and significantly lower price point, especially considering its growing compatibility with iPhones.
