Amazfit's new smartwatch, the Amazfit Active Max, is now on sale through Amazon. It features the largest display in the series so far, a 1.5-inch panel, with peak brightness reaching 3,000 nits. On top of long battery life that lasts up to 25 days of typical use on a full charge, it brings together health and fitness sensors along with AI-powered features. The price is 28,900 yen.
A Series-Largest 1.5-inch Display and 4GB of Storage
The headline feature is the 1.5-inch display, the largest in the series to date. With peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits, the screen stays easy to read even in bright outdoor sunlight, so you can check the time and notifications at a glance. For a smartwatch, where you glance at information on your wrist throughout the day, screen size and brightness make a real difference to everyday usability.
The watch also includes 4GB of built-in storage, letting you keep maps and music on the device itself. By loading your tracks and routes in advance, you can listen to music or check a map during a run or ride without having to carry your smartphone.
Up to 25 Days of Battery Life with Continuous GPS
Battery life is another of the watch's strengths. On a full charge, it lasts up to 25 days in typical use, and up to 13 days even under heavy use with many features running. With GPS in continuous use, it still runs for up to 64 hours, so you are less likely to worry about the battery during long outdoor activities.
Cutting down on the need to charge nearly every day also pairs well with always-on use cases such as sleep tracking. Note that these runtimes vary depending on how you use the watch and your settings.
BioTracker 6.0 Sensor and AI for Health and Fitness
For health monitoring, the watch uses the BioTracker 6.0 PPG biometric sensor (5PD + 2LED). Working together with heart-rate measurement and sleep-tracking algorithms, it records high-accuracy health data. On the fitness side, it supports hybrid training that combines aerobic exercise with strength training, and offers more than 160 sports modes.
It also provides personalized AI coaching tailored to each user. In addition, an AI image-recognition feature assists with nutrition management by analyzing photos of your meals. The watch supports your wellness routine from both the training and the dietary side.
Note that these health-related features are intended to support everyday condition management and are not medical devices.
Summary
The Amazfit Active Max is a smartwatch that delivers the series' largest 1.5-inch display, 3,000-nit peak brightness, and up to 25 days of battery life for 28,900 yen. It covers a wide range of needs, from health logging via the BioTracker 6.0 sensor and more than 160 sports modes to AI coaching and AI image recognition for nutrition management. For anyone who wants a big screen and long battery life while keeping the price in check, it looks like an option worth considering.
