Amazfit might not be the first name people drop when talking smartwatches, but it\u2019s been quietly owning the budget smartwatch scene for a while now. Earlier this year, the company launched the $99 Amazfit Active 2<\/a> and if you are one of the folks who picked one up, it is time to check for a software update.
The Amazfit Active 2 is now getting a new software update<\/a> \u2013 version 6.1.20.3 \u2013 just a few weeks after the last one (6.1.20.2), which took care of some map-related bugs. This time around, the update tackles an annoying problem tied to Strength Training workouts.
Some users had been reporting that after finishing a workout, the watch didn\u2019t save the new session \u2013 instead, it weirdly showed details from the previous one. Not ideal when you are trying to track your gains.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, according to the release notes, that bug is now squashed. So if you use Strength Training mode, this update should fix your logging headaches.<\/p>\n

The new firmware is rolling out in phases, so it might not hit everyone at once. To check if it\u2019s available for your watch:<\/p>\n


\nMake sure your Amazfit Active 2 is paired with your phone via the Zepp app.Open the Zepp app and go to your Profile. Select System Update to check and install any available updates.
The Amazfit Active 2 continues to be a good pick for anyone who wants a feature-packed smartwatch without breaking the bank. I mean, for $99 or even less, since you can often find great discounts, you get:Over 160 workout modesTurn-by-turn Maps navigationAI assistanceContactless payments with NFC (well, for the premium $130 variant)Up to 10 days battery lifeFree Zepp app with health and fitness tracking insights
And while most people don\u2019t expect great support from budget-friendly devices, Amazfit has been regularly pushing out updates and bug fixes, which is honestly refreshing.<\/p>\n

Compared to something like the CMF Watch Pro 2, which is even cheaper at $69, the Active 2 is a clear winner on overall value. The CMF lacks NFC and contactless payments, and it still uses a USB-A charger, which in 2025 feels like plugging into the past.<\/p>\n

So yeah, if you already own the Active 2 \u2013 make sure to grab the latest update. And if you are considering one? It\u2019s hard to argue with what it offers at that price point.<\/p>\n
