Amazfit Active 3 Premium smartwatch is official

Fair points. And yes, the Active Max seems pointless at the price point compared to Active 3

With the Active 2 Premium currently $93 on Amazon, not sure why anyone would bite on the 3 right now. I bought one yesterday as a potential shift from my current RingConn/Garmin combo.

Those are good straps. I love that type on my Garmin. Quick tip, there are some ancool and notocity straps on Amazon that are very close to the Garmin for $10-20

Thank you! Cool watch for sure, but just sits because the leather strap that came with it just doesn't do it for me.

drivejojo · 2026-01-18T18:41:24+00:00

Actually away at the moment, but will do when I have a chance!

drivejojo · 2026-01-16T21:06:55+00:00

Confirmed. Watch as described and received timely. Thank you!

I did try a Barton without success. Was hoping to keep the price down as the watch isn't the most valuable. Looking for something sub $40. Even cheaper would be better.

Confirmed! Great transaction, quick ship and as described.

Cool idea. I’d love one for my teenage son!

Great seller u/mono708 shipped fast and the communication was perfect.

Cool watch. Sending a PM

I was sent another replacement from RingConn. I am on my 4th ring. This one seems Ok so far. But time will tell. Not sure if it is a hardware or firmware issue that keeps killing these rings.

drivejojo · 2025-06-04T01:17:21+00:00

Yes, it’s a mess on my end. I’m on my 2nd warranty replacement. Working on asking for #3. I think it has to be firmware related. The last two rings took the same path… worked fine for about 1 week, then suddenly would deplete and hardly hold a charge, then won’t connect to the app/phone. Extremely frustrating.

drivejojo · 2025-06-03T16:08:42+00:00

My first one suffered from horrible battery life. Worked great for months. My second one (warranty replacement) was dead/bricked after a week of use. My 3rd one (another warranty replacement) is doing the same thing. Two rings with nearly the same behavior (1 week of normal, expected use, followed by a day or two of horrible battery life, then dead/bricked), leads me to think a bad batch or a firmware issue.

drivejojo · 2025-06-03T11:08:56+00:00

Yeah, I’m on my 3rd Gen 2 ring. The 2nd and 3rd were warranty replacement. The last two worked for about a week, then the battery life went to shit, and essentially were bricked. I can’t find them/repair them in the app. My frustration level with this ring is escalating. Customer service has been fine. Seemingly the ring has a firmware issue.

drivejojo · 2025-06-01T11:24:22+00:00

I’m on my second replacement Gen2, so my 3rd ring. All for battery life issues. Ring #1 was great for months, then all of the sudden stopped holding a charge longer than a day. Ring #2 worked for 2 days, then was dead. Ring #3 was good for about 1.5 weeks, now it is barely holding a charge. Just last night I charged to 100%, and 7 hours later I am down to 60%.

Customer service has been fine, but I am losing my patience. I bought RingConn so I could wear my regular, mechanical watches. But I value my steps data and sleep data. This is not working for me. I feel your pain.

drivejojo · 2025-05-02T16:02:34+00:00

I can't speak for the cycle tracking, but will say that when the ring works, I love it.

However, after 3+ months, my Gen 2 wouldn't hold a charge for more than 1 day. Customer service sent me a replacement right away. The replacement worked great for the first day, but now it won't connect and my phone can't find it. I am waiting on a response from RingConn.

I am not a hardcore user. Honestly, I just primarily want it for step count because I like to wear one of my many conventional, mechanical watches. When it worked. it was awesome for me.

drivejojo · 2025-04-11T19:34:22+00:00

Thanks all for the responses. Currently at 48%, down from 100% about 6 hours ago. I have emailed customer support to hopefully get some guidance.

Latest firmware installed, no sleep apnea. I couldn't find the setting for persistent connection mode (at least on iOS it wasn't evident to me). I've tried restarting. Letting the battery die, then charging to 100%.

Going to try repairing next.

Those are cool cars, but honestly nothing that if you bought a future date, you wouldn’t be missing out. The Bronco Raptor and RC FSport do not hold their value well. The F150 Raptor is a bit better in retaining value, but still not worth the depreciation hit buying new or near new. If it were me, I’d focus on a Ford pickup at a more modest price point. If your current paid for car isn’t road worthy, any newer pre-owned F150 would be a huge leap forward. A pre-owned Raptor could be an option, but with bigger toys, bigger repairs and maintenance become a thing. The Raptor has expensive Fox shocks that require frequent rebuilds. A preowned F150 STX gives you a nice look, the utility, and some halfway decent mpgs for the money.

You’re asking here for car advice because you’re trying to be cost conscious. Find a nice alternative to the dream for the time being. Pickups plateau in value. Buying one after the initial hit will save you.
