Amazfit

I tested the Amazfit Active Max vs Garmin for running

This was not a clean park loop or a track workout. It was a typical city run through Zone 1 with traffic lights, brief stops, changes in rhythm and mixed terrain. That kind of session tends to expose how good a watch is at handling reality rather than ideal conditions. You can check out the watches on the Zepp Health website and Garmin.com . Both watches landed close enough on distance that neither raised concerns. Garmin recorded 7.58 km while Amazfit came in at 7.48 km. Over this kind of route, that difference sits well within normal GPS variation. Also, very little difference in the speed of acquiring the initial GPS connection.
