Summary

  • Zepp Health rolled out what it calls the first fully integrated hybrid training system for Amazfit smartwatches, aimed at athletes juggling strength and endurance work.
  • Training Balance shows which workout type is being prioritized, while HybridCharge estimates energy by combining training load with sensor data and user-reported stressors such as illness.
  • Balance 3 and Balance Ultra also gain a dedicated Hyrox library, virtual race-pace guidance, performance analysis and an in-race virtual assistant.
  • The update extends the pitch for the two watches unveiled earlier this month in New York, where Amazfit positioned the $369.99 Balance 3 and $599.99 Balance Ultra around hybrid training.
