- Amazfit may have leaked its upcoming Active Max smartwatch
- The product list contained new details not seen before.
- He also included photos of the device in action.
Amazfit completely surprised us with its Active 2 smartwatch, which we gave five stars and called it one of the best cheap smartwatches money can buy in our review. Now, the manufacturer is believed to be working on a more premium offering in the form of the Amazfit Active Max, and a new leak has just shed more light on the upcoming device.
Interestingly, the new information does not come from any anonymous leakers or informed analysts; no, it seems to come directly from Amazfit itself. That helps give it significant weight and suggests that the details contained within it could well be accurate.
It all came about when Amazfit accidentally posted a draft listing for the Active Max smartwatch on its website, a post that has since been deleted. There, details and images suggested that the Active Max will support Zepp Pay contactless payments and will have a 576mAh battery, which should keep it charged for 25 days straight. You’ll be able to track a variety of health and fitness metrics, including sleep quality, heart rate, and SpO2 levels, and will also support the BioCharge energy monitoring feature.
It is not the first time that we have news of the Amazfit Active Max. Just yesterday, leaker Roland Quandt shared some intriguing details related to the product, including the fact that it will supposedly come with a 1.5-inch OLED display, Bluetooth 5.3 support, and waterproofing up to a depth of 50 meters. The draft listing on Amazfit’s website appears to confirm some of those details, while also providing some new ones.
There is no release date yet
The Amazfit Active 2 offered an incredible amount for its $99/£99 price, and while the Active Max is expected to be a high-end device, rumors indicate that it will stay on the affordable side with an anticipated price of €169.90 in Europe, which could equate to around $169/£130/AU$250.
A starting price in that range means it’s significantly lower than the $249 Apple Watch SE 3, which is currently one of the most affordable smartwatches out there. The two devices won’t be exactly the same, but anyone looking for a new smartwatch and doesn’t want to break the bank might be tempted by Amazfit’s Active Max when it finally gets a release date.
That, however, is something that was not revealed in the draft product listing, and it remains to be seen when Amazfit plans to officially unveil and launch the watch. When you do, there will probably be quite a bit of interest in what you can offer.
