The Acer Liquid Leap Active tracks steps, calories and sleep well and lasts over a week, but it doesn't store past days.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Acer Liquid Leap Active

  • Competitive pricing compared to rivals with similar features
  • Lightweight and comfortable enough for all-day wear
  • Solid battery life lasting between 5 to 7 days on a single charge
  • IPX7 water resistance allows for use in the shower or rain
  • Supports basic smartwatch notifications for calls and text messages
  • Cross-platform compatibility with Android, iOS, and Windows Phone
  • Includes music playback controls for connected smartphones

What customers don't like about Acer Liquid Leap Active

  • Touchscreen responsiveness can be inconsistent, often requiring multiple taps to wake
  • Basic fitness metrics with no heart rate monitor or GPS
  • Step counting and sleep tracking accuracy reported as hit-or-miss
  • Proprietary charging cradle is fiddly and easy to misplace
  • Display is small and can be difficult to read in direct sunlight
  • Lack of an onboard alarm feature is a noted omission for a wearable
  • Closed ecosystem means data cannot be synced with third-party apps like Strava or Endomondo

Verdict

The Acer Liquid Leap Active is a slim, entry-level fitness tracker featuring a 1-inch OLED touchscreen and a button-free, minimalistic design. It provides 24/7 tracking of steps, running distance, calories burned, and sleep patterns, with a battery life of 5 to 7 days on a 90-minute charge. Its main pros include IPX7 waterproof certification, multi-OS compatibility with Android and iOS, and smartphone integration for music control and notifications (SMS, email, and calendar). However, it lacks a heart rate monitor, has no built-in GPS or altimeter for elevation tracking, and users may find the touchscreen responsiveness and the stiff rubber strap closure mechanism to be somewhat finicky.
