Summary

  • Firmware 6.1.114.1 is rolling out to the Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra, bringing what appears to be the watch’s first official Zepp OS 6 release, though availability still varies by region.
  • HYROX is the headline addition: Zepp Health added a workout library, Virtual Pace race strategy, and simulation modes covering full, half, split, and custom sessions.
  • HybridCharge also gets a broader upgrade, with smarter scoring logic and clearer recovery guidance tied to high-, medium-, and low-intensity workouts.
  • Navigation changes are lighter, adding route preview images, new map scale levels from 75 meters to 8 kilometers, and tweaks to topographic map display and status indicators.
  • The update makes the Cheetah 2 Ultra only the third Amazfit device on Zepp OS 6, alongside the newly launched Balance 3 and Balance Ultra, with Bip Max expected next.
