So I ditched thebest fitness appI know,Push, for the Amazfit Active 2.

Here’s what happened.

Generally, the rep counting works, but it’s not perfect.

It also naturally struggles with some workouts more than others.

There’s a ton of strength exercises to choose from, with no obvious omissions.

However, the app is a bit quirky.

This is where you pick your exercise, for example, ‘bench press’.

I immediately assumed this meant sets, rather than reps, so was choosing three or four as standard.

Then I went back and realized I was wrong, so redid it.

You also have to manually add the rest in between the “intervals”.

Sadly, this isn’t available right now.

In the meantime, the Active 2’s strength training features are a cool idea.

I’d also be keen to see how they stack up to the strength training programs on thebest Garmins.
