Third-party reviews

What customers like about Amazfit Smartwatch 2 ECG

  • Advanced health monitoring with built-in ECG and atrial fibrillation detection
  • Premium zirconium oxide ceramic housing that is scratch-resistant and skin-friendly
  • Vibrant 1.39-inch AMOLED display with high pixel density (326 PPI)
  • Independent connectivity via eSIM support for calls and messages
  • Smooth performance powered by the Snapdragon Wear 2500 processor

What customers don't like about Amazfit Smartwatch 2 ECG

  • Limited battery life, often requiring daily charging when using cellular or frequent tracking
  • Only IP68 water resistance, meaning it is splash-resistant but not suitable for swimming
  • The 4G/eSIM functionality has historically had limited availability outside of China
  • Heart rate tracking can sometimes lag during high-intensity interval workouts
  • The charging cradle is noted to be somewhat bulky and inconvenient

Verdict

The Amazfit Smartwatch 2 ECG (also known as the Verge 2) features a 1.39-inch AMOLED display with a 454 x 454 resolution and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2500 chipset with 512MB RAM and 4GB storage. Its primary characteristic is the integrated ECG sensor capable of recording 60 minutes of data locally to detect arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation, complemented by a zirconium ceramic frame and IP68 water resistance. Key pros include independent 4G VoLTE connectivity via eSIM, built-in GPS/GLONASS, and comprehensive health monitoring. However, its 420mAh battery offers a relatively short life of approximately 28 hours in 4G mode, and its advanced features were initially limited to certain regions.
