Investing in a smartwatch is one of the best ways to get on top of your daily, weekly, and long-term health and fitness goals. Big brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, and Garmin are the brains behind some of the top models on the market, but if you’re looking for a solid alternative, we recommend the Amazfit Active Smartwatch 35.9mm.

We also heard news at CES 2025 that we’ll be getting an Amazfit Active 2 reasonably soon, so it comes as no surprise that the O.G. model went on sale. Still, it’s one of our favorite smartwatch deals of the day, and it’s about time a company gave the Apple Watch a run for its money!

Why you should buy the Amazfit Active

Combining the best of two classic Amazfit designs (the Amazfit GTS and Amazfit GTS Mini), the new and improved Amazfit Active 2 boasts up to 14 hours of battery life on a single charge and 30 days when using Battery Saver Mode. Zepp’s first-party OS is fast and intuitive to work with, allowing you to use and customize your new wearable to match your wants and needs best. We were also excited to learn about the watch’s AI features. Optimize your schedule and lean on the Active’s generative AI to put together a personalized workout plan for you!

Other noteworthy features include over 120 sports modes, over 100 personalized watch faces, 24-hour heart rate monitoring, along with iOS and Android device compatibility.

We’re not sure how long this sale is going to stick around, but here’s hoping $90 becomes the new official price for the Amazfit Active sooner rather than later (now that the Active 2 is on the horizon). Save $20 when you purchase Zepp’s Gen 1 wearable right now. We also recommend taking a look at our lists of the best fitness deals and best NordicTrack deals.

I tried to parody the most absurd AI products, but the tech industry beat me to it
The joke was supposed to be that every household object gets cameras, AI insights, and a premium tier. Apparently, that’s now a business plan
Imaginary AI products

I wanted to invent an AI product so silly that no founder could turn it into a seed round.

It had to solve a problem nobody had, collect far more data than the problem deserved, and turn normal behavior into an insight that sounded vaguely disappointed in its owner. Somewhere around the third feature, it would ask for a subscription.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watches may cost more than their predecessors, but the latest leak suggests buyers will at least get some meaningful hardware upgrades for the extra money.

WinFuture claims to have obtained the technical specifications for the Galaxy Watch 9 series and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. Samsung reportedly plans to replace its Exynos processors, increase battery capacity on selected models, and introduce updated connectivity hardware across the lineup.

XREAL’s $299 AR glasses are finally here, and they could be a great travel companion
These AR glasses give you a 147-inch virtual display you can carry around in your pocket

XREAL announced its lower-cost xbx sub-brand earlier this year, and its first product is now available in the U.S. The xbx a01+ costs $299 through XREAL’s online store, putting it below the company’s more expensive AR glasses.

The a01+ is mainly built for watching videos, playing games, or using a laptop on a large virtual screen. It connects to compatible phones, handheld consoles, and computers over USB-C, so it works more like a wearable display than a standalone headset.
