Verdict

The Amazfit Arc is a lightweight (20g) entry-level fitness tracker featuring a 0.42-inch UV-coated, scratch-resistant OLED display and an IP67 water and dust resistance rating. Its core functionality includes tracking steps, distance, calories, and sleep, alongside an optical heart rate sensor for manual readings. Key pros include its exceptional 20-day battery life on a single charge via a 70 mAh battery, a sleek, rounded design with a responsive touch area, and affordable pricing. However, it lacks 24/7 continuous heart rate monitoring, has a non-replaceable silicone strap, and utilizes a relatively simplistic companion app that offers limited deep data analysis.
