The Amazfit Balance 2 is getting its first major firmware update, and it’s not just bug fixes and behind-the-scenes tweaks. This one’s packed with new features that feel thoughtfully designed for real-life use, not just thrown in for tech specs.
From HYROX training modes to a dedicated scuba diving feature, plus safety improvements and a smoother interface, this update gives Balance 2 owners a real reason to get excited.
Here’s what’s new, why it matters, and how it could change the way people use their smartwatches every day.

Train Smarter with New HYROX Modes
Whether you’re a CrossFitter, a fan of high-intensity interval training, or just someone who likes to push their limits, this one’s for you. The Balance 2 now supports:
- Free Training
- Structured Training Templates
- Timed Intervals (including TABATA, AMRAP, and EMOM)
No more trying to hack your way through a workout using the basic stopwatch.
These new HYROX modes are tailor-made for people who take their workouts seriously—and want a smartwatch that keeps up.
It’s refreshing to see a fitness brand focus on training styles real athletes use.
Dive Into New Adventures with Scuba Mode
In a surprising (and awesome) move, Amazfit has added a full-on scuba diving mode.
It supports dives up to 45 meters (approximately 148 feet) and works with both air and nitrox tanks, as well as no-stop recreational diving.
You don’t need to be a pro diver to appreciate this.
Even if you only dive a couple of times a year on vacation, having this feature built into your everyday watch is a great benefit. That’s pretty cool.
It’s a small but meaningful step toward making smartwatches more versatile, not just fitness-focused.
Safety Light = Peace of Mind at Night
Night runners, early morning cyclists, this one’s for you: the update includes a new safety light that improves visibility in low-light conditions.
It’s one of those simple features that makes a big difference, especially if you’ve ever worried about being seen while jogging in the dark.
It’s the kind of detail that says, “We see how you use this watch.”
Better Navigation with Topo Map Support
Let’s be real—when you’re out on a hike, running trails, or cruising on your bike, the last thing you want is to mess with a clunky map on your watch. That’s why this update is such a win.
Now with topographic map support and smoother route tracking, finding your way feels a lot more natural.
You can focus on the adventure, not on fiddling with Zoom or trying to guess if you’re still on the trail.
No more squinting at glitchy screens or waiting forever for your route to load. Just a clearer path and a watch that keeps up with you.
A Cleaner, Faster Interface
Zepp also gave the Balance 2’s interface a bit of a polish. App lists are easier to scroll through, activity menus are more responsive, and overall it just feels… smoother.
If you use your watch daily—not just during workouts—you’ll notice the difference.
These are the kinds of updates that make you fall in love with your device all over again.
