Amazfit Balance 2 vs Amazfit Balance 3

The Balance 3 adds 8 more hours of GPS (41 versus 33), double the storage at 64GB, a brighter 3,000-nit display, and physical buttons alongside the touchscreen, for about $120 more. The Balance 2 is far lighter at 35 grams versus 62 and covers the core features (dual-band GPS, offline maps, 10 ATM) for much less.
