Is the Amazfit Balance 2 XT good for running?

Yes. It has multi-band GPS, pace and heart-rate tracking, and training load tools. Runners who need deep coaching ecosystems may prefer a Garmin.

How long does the battery last?

Amazfit rates it for roughly two weeks of typical use, dropping to a few days with heavy GPS. Real-world reports land in that range.

Yes, it pairs with both iOS and Android through the Zepp app. Some notification and reply features are more limited on iPhone.

It carries a 5 ATM water rating, so pool swimming and showering are fine. It is not built for diving.

Yes. Golf mode shows course maps, distances to hazards and shot tracking, which is unusual at this tier.

The watch with a silicone strap, a magnetic charging cable and a quick-start guide. A charger brick is not included.
