Verdict

The Noise ColorFit Vision 2 Buzz is a budget-oriented smartwatch featuring a 1.78-inch AMOLED display with a 368 x 448 pixel resolution, 500 nits of brightness, and Always-On Display (AOD) support. It is equipped with the Noise Health Suite for 24/7 heart rate monitoring, SpO2 tracking, and sleep analysis, alongside 100 sports modes with auto-detection capabilities. Main pros include its vibrant, high-resolution screen, functional Bluetooth calling with a quick dial pad, and a lightweight IP68 water-resistant build that offers up to 7 days of battery life on a single 2-hour charge. However, notable cons include the lack of built-in GPS, battery life significantly dropping to roughly one day when AOD and calling are heavily used, and occasional reports of average microphone performance in noisy outdoor environments.
