Thanks OP.

I personally plan to have my 7X Pro for years, so I didn't feel like saving 300 bucks was worth the potential headache, but for some people that trade off might make more sense. The balance 2 seems to be Amazfit's best watch yet and I hope they keep improving to really put some real competition in this space, but Garmin is the top dog in the market for a reason, unfortunately. And considering you can get a 7X Pro Solar Sapphire on this deal for a bit more than $450 shipped, that's an absolute no brainer over spending $300 on a Balance 2, imo.

That said, the Trex sucks. That's not where they shine. They shine in the "everyday use" category. Apple/Samsung or any wearOS watch cannot compare just from the battery perspective alone. Ecosystem wise, sure, they are much better than Amazfit, but are still barely matured ecosystems. Garmins ecosystem is, well, done. But the lack of innovation and high price tag guarding of what I would consider "basic features" makes Garmin a hard sell.
So the Balance 2 brings it all together for Amazfit at a MSRP of $299. It will be on sale like all their other watches frequently. It literally came out less than a week ago. While the Garmins are nice, in 3-4 years I'm going to want a new watch anyway, no matter what I pay today. I've had my current Amazfit for 2 years and it's served me quite well in my snowboarding seasons. Accuracy is fine for me, but I'm not a 1% athlete training for the Iron Man Marathon Decathalon Snowboarding World Cup Championship, where I'd get a sponsored watch anyway. That said - the new Amazfit Balance 2 + the Helio Strap is meant to target exactly these people with much more accurate data sets. Arguably more accurate than Garmin. $299 + $100 for the Helio makes it the same price as this watch, which is either a mistake in pricing or one of the steepest discounts ever seen on it. So the value on the Amazfit ecosystem could be argued is exceeding Garmin at this point. I would assume we will see a new Trex offered soon to replace the 3, that will also push the envelope. Amazfit also offers open app development of ZeppOS with their developer platform. The pieces needed for maturity, quality of product, and price point are all extremely competitive. Samsung/Apple/Garmin better watch out.
The only thing I'd like to see is ECG on the Amazfit, which it's on there....but USA regulations have prevented Amazfit from being able to enable it.
