People continue to invest in wearables even though the demand has come down but you might be willing to spend money if the product delivers on most fronts and that\u2019s what Amazfit is looking to show with its new Square 2 smartwatch. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">It has opted for some unique design traits that makes it look different in a good way and the platform manages to get more out of the feature-rich wearable for Rs 12,999. So, does the Amazfit Square 2 offer promise to people who want a smartwatch, we tested the device to find these answers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Sleek And Compact<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Amazfit calls it Active Square and the design form itself gives it the identity that makes us avoid saying things like Apple Watch clones. The main unit gets 9mm in thickness and weighs around 31 grams without the strap, while you get two of them in the box. The default strap doesn\u2019t inspire confidence with its leather-like finish and black in colour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Amazfit-Active-Square-2-design-2025-08-95e78f4493432fa6f06b2286b5b37f82.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But the in-box orange coloured strap is more durable and won\u2019t be susceptible to sweat or dust causing irritation. Once you get past that, putting on the strap is easy and then you also have 5ATM resistance against deep water. When you strap on the Active Square 2 on the wrist, it is comfortable enough to wear for long hours and while sleeping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Amazfit-Active-Square-2-comfort-fit-2025-08-42c987e077ba9d991be354423779d72e.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The 1.75-inch AMOLED display fits nicely into the compact dimensions to give you a large screen estate for alerts, reading messages and more. The screen itself is bright, the colours are vibrant, and crisp for text readability similar to the panels you get on a phone.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Amazfit-Active-Square-2-display-2025-08-e04608bdece06717d32f3ca7bad51d29.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The bezels are thin and the use of sapphire glass definitely makes it stronger enough to handle the usual bumps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Features Galore<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Amazfit uses its Zepp OS platform to power the wearables which is a lot lighter than wearOS and watchOS but extremely packed with features. The Active Square 2 benefits from its versatility that balances out between health, fitness and functional tools rolled into one platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Amazfit-Active-Square-2-OS-2025-08-0eded4277417e56e4ad35fbdf9b09d6e.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The app is nicely laid out with a section for home where you have the basic tracking features, workout is related to fitness and the Zepp coach, while Aura and device are linked to detailed summary and the settings for the Square 2, respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Amazfit-Active-Square-2-OS1-2025-08-6c9cf67ed373cd8042ab7eef458ffce6.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The main part of health gives you the mix of fitness and regular tools like sleep monitor, SpO2 reader, heart rate sensor and more. It also has over 100+ sports modes that are effective but do get automatic detection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Does It Work?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Having these many features is all good, but has Amazfit packed in too much without focusing on their effectiveness? The overall performance of the Square 2 is quite good, be it fitness, health and your run-of-mill sleep tracking that goes really in-depth to help you change the sleep patterns and also advises long sleep to feel healthy and fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Amazfit-Active-Square-2-health-2025-08-1bffdb75b9ea44ad03de32bb0c93854b.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The step counts are differing across wearables but the other useful metrics are accurate and we even matched the SpO2 reading with a medical oximeter to vouch for its correctness. So yeah, the Zepp OS platform is light in the background but it does not compromise with its performance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Lasts Really Long<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Amazfit says the sleek Active Square 2 can go on for over 10 days on a single charge with its 260mAh unit. With so many features packed we weren\u2019t sure about its claims but then Zepp OS shows the virtue of a lightweight OS that delivers well above its weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Amazfit-Active-Square-2-battery-2025-08-e603f1f7821bf9b090796a3016f5a275.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We easily got the Active Square 2 to run for over 6 days on an average, as the watch learnt the usage and decided to keep the sensors working in the background. You can manually turn off the always-on display, and other trackers to easily make it run for 10 days but that seems to limit its actual purpose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"17\" class=\"story_para_17\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Amazfit Active Square 2 is not flashy or unlikely to win any design awards but the overall package, including the Zepp OS gives you a reliable, effective and long-lasting watch that is priced decently for what it offers. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-4625396a04d15488 jsx-2642383060 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:28px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news18.co\/gnps-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to add News18 as your preferred news source on Google, Get latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements.
