## Key points

- Amazfit watches are relatively affordable and work with iPhone or Android.
- Long battery life and extensive fitness tracking are key advantages.
- Limited apps, storage and three years of support are trade-offs.

## Summary

Amazfit smartwatches offer a lower-cost alternative to major brands, with options for everyday users and athletes. Their long battery life, broad fitness tracking and compatibility with both iPhone and Android make them appealing, but the proprietary software limits what they can do.

Prices can start around $80, and some models last up to 25 days per charge. Watches include more than 100 sports modes and health sensors, but Zepp OS offers few third-party apps and no access to services such as Google Wallet, Maps or Spotify; the companion app can also be difficult to navigate. Some models have limited storage, and Amazfit provides three years of software and security support.
