Third-party reviews

What customers like about Misfit Vapor 2 46mm

  • Sleek, minimalist stainless steel design that works for both fitness and formal wear.
  • Bright and vibrant 1.39-inch AMOLED display with deep blacks.
  • Built-in GPS and NFC for Google Pay, which were missing in the previous model.
  • Comfortable silicone strap included, with the option to use standard 20mm bands.
  • Rapid charging capabilities, reaching 80% in approximately 50 minutes.
  • Water-resistant up to 30-50 meters and marketed as swim-proof.

What customers don't like about Misfit Vapor 2 46mm

  • Sub-24-hour battery life often fails to last a full day with moderate use.
  • Sluggish performance and lag due to the outdated Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset.
  • Stiff and difficult-to-use rotating crown for menu navigation.
  • Thick black bezels around the display make the design feel dated.
  • Inconsistent heart rate monitor accuracy, particularly during high-intensity workouts.
  • Lack of native swim tracking software despite being marketed as swim-proof.

Verdict

The Misfit Vapor 2 46mm is a sleek Wear OS smartwatch featuring a 1.39-inch AMOLED display with a 454x454 resolution and a 330mAh battery encased in a stainless steel frame. Key characteristics include built-in GPS for standalone tracking, NFC for contactless Google Pay, 3ATM water resistance for swimming, and a rotating crown for easier menu navigation. While it offers essential upgrades over its predecessor like 4GB of storage and an improved heart rate sensor, it is powered by the aging Snapdragon Wear 2100 chipset, which can lead to occasional interface lag and a battery life that typically requires daily charging.
