Amazfit Verge 2 is a ceramic-cased watch with eSIM calls that work without your phone nearby, but its 28-hour battery is the main limit.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Amazfit Verge 2

  • High-resolution AMOLED display (454 x 454 px) that is vibrant and sharp
  • Premium build quality featuring a microcrystalline zirconium ceramic bezel
  • Supports cellular connectivity via eSIM for phone calls and messages
  • Accurate fitness and health tracking, including a built-in GPS and heart rate monitor
  • Includes NFC support for contactless payments in supported regions
  • Smooth and responsive user interface

What customers don't like about Amazfit Verge 2

  • Significantly reduced battery life (approx. 2 days) compared to the original Verge
  • Proprietary charging cradle is bulky and not interchangeable with other models
  • Limited water resistance rating (IP68) makes it unsuitable for swimming
  • Limited availability of third-party apps despite running an Android-based OS
  • Companion app (Zepp/Amazfit) is often described as basic or having poor sync capabilities

Verdict

The Amazfit Verge 2, often referred to as the Amazfit Nexo, is a feature-rich smartwatch that significantly upgrades its predecessor with a premium microcrystalline zirconium ceramic frame and a vibrant 1.39-inch AMOLED display featuring a 454x454 resolution. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 2500 chipset, 512MB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage, while incorporating advanced health tools like real-time ECG monitoring and the BioTracker PPG sensor for accurate heart rate tracking. Its standout characteristics include eSIM support for independent 4G LTE calling, built-in GPS/GLONASS, and NFC for contactless payments. Main pros include its durable, high-end ceramic build, a sharp high-resolution screen, and the convenience of cellular independence. However, notable cons include a relatively short battery life of approximately 28 hours (one day) under typical use and limited IP68 water resistance, which makes it splash-proof but unsuitable for swimming or deep submersion.
