Amazfit has officially announced the Amazfit Active 3 Premium as the successor to last year’s Active 2 Premium. Designed as an accessible entry point for athletes focusing on structured running and hybrid training routines, the new compact smartwatch aims to balance everyday lifestyle wear with comprehensive fitness tracking capabilities.
Unlike heavy, high-performance racing watches, the Active 3 Premium is positioned as a versatile, approachable device. It caters to users looking to build consistency across road running, strength training, and studio-based workouts without feeling weighed down by overly complex hardware.
Key Features and Capabilities
To support athletes at various stages of their fitness journeys, the Active 3 Premium integrates several hardware and software advancements:
- Adaptive Training Programs: The watch features built-in running workouts and utilizes Zepp Coach to provide science-backed, adaptive running plans. These plans are designed to guide users through structured efforts, helping them build consistency and avoid burnout while training for races.
- Advanced Running Metrics: Users can access deep performance insights, including posture monitoring, threshold data, ground contact balance tracking, and rhythm analysis, which aid in fine-tuning form and reducing the risk of injury.
- Robust Navigation: Supported by a six-satellite positioning system and offline map capabilities, the device allows for phone-free, turn-by-turn navigation, automatic rerouting, and point-to-point route planning.
- On-Board Storage: With 4GB of internal storage, users can save offline maps and download their favorite podcasts directly to the watch.
- Third-Party Integration: The smartwatch seamlessly syncs via the Zepp App with leading fitness platforms, including TrainingPeaks, Strava, Runna, and Intervals.icu, ensuring smooth data transfer between preferred coaching and tracking tools.
Hardware, Battery, and Health Monitoring
The Active 3 Premium emphasizes durability and visibility, packaging its technology into a sleek, everyday design.
- Display and Build: The watch features a 1.32-inch AMOLED display capable of reaching a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, ensuring clear visibility even in direct sunlight. The screen is protected by scratch-resistant Sapphire Glass, all housed within a compact 45mm stainless-steel frame equipped with four tactile control buttons.
- Health and Smart Connectivity: Powered by Amazfit’s BioTracker™ technology, the device offers 24/7 monitoring of heart rate, blood oxygen levels, stress, sleep quality, and recovery insights. It also includes a built-in microphone and speaker for Bluetooth calls, alongside the Zepp Flow™ voice assistant for hands-free control.
- Battery Life: Built for endurance, the battery provides up to 12 days of power under typical use and up to 7 days during heavy activity, minimizing the need for frequent charging.
