Amazfit has refreshed its smartwatch lineup with two new models: the Balance 3 and the more premium Balance Ultra. Both are built around a new Hybrid Training System in the Zepp App, which tries to turn workout tracking into something closer to coaching instead of just another dashboard full of numbers.
The headline feature is easy to spot: battery life. Amazfit says the Balance 3 can last up to 21 days, while the Balance Ultra stretches that to up to 30 days. That’s the kind of endurance that puts a lot of mainstream wearables on notice, especially if you’re tired of charging a watch every couple of nights like it’s a phone with a smaller ego.
Amazfit Balance 3 and Balance Ultra specs
Both watches share the same core hardware: a 1.5-inch AMOLED display with sapphire glass, up to 3,000 nits of brightness, dual-band GPS, six-satellite positioning, offline maps, heart rate, HRV, sleep, and blood oxygen monitoring. They also support automatic recognition for 25 strength exercises, Bluetooth calling, and Zepp Flow voice control.
- Balance Ultra: Grade 5 titanium build
- Balance 3: stainless steel or titanium finishes
- Display: 1.5-inch AMOLED with sapphire glass
- Brightness: up to 3,000 nits
- Battery life: up to 21 days on Balance 3, up to 30 days on Balance Ultra
Zepp App training guidance
The software pitch is where Amazfit is trying to separate these watches from the usual ”track your steps and good luck” formula. The Zepp App now includes HybridCharge Energy Intelligence, which combines BioCharge, LifeLoad, and Training Load into a single view of physical capacity. Weekly Focus, Training Balance, and structured Hybrid Training Plans are part of the package too.
That approach mirrors a broader trend among wearables makers: the hardware is good enough, so the fight shifts to coaching, recovery, and personalization. Garmin has spent years leaning on that formula, and Amazfit is now clearly trying to play in the same field without asking users to buy a charger as a lifestyle accessory.
HYROX features and pricing
Amazfit is also extending its HYROX partnership into the new lineup. Both watches include HYROX-specific training plans, race simulations, a Virtual Pace feature, and post-race performance analysis that breaks down pacing, station times, and rankings.
- Balance 3 Stainless Steel: £369.90
- Balance 3 Titanium: £449.90, coming soon
- Balance Ultra: £599.90
The real question is whether Amazfit can turn these specs into a stronger foothold outside its usual audience. The battery life and hardware look competitive on paper, but the next test is whether the Hybrid Training System feels genuinely useful or just like another layer of app-generated optimism.
