The Amazfit Bip 6 BioCharge update (Firmware 3.10.0.1) is officially live as of February 4, 2026. This 9MB update replaces the “Readiness” score with the more dynamic “BioCharge” metric.
Unlike previous stalled rollouts, version 3.10.0.1 is a stable, device-level release that works across all Bip 6 hardware variants, including the 32MB and 64MB RAM models.
Wait is Over: BioCharge Finally Lands on Bip 6
After weeks of “ghost” updates where BioCharge appeared in Zepp app menus but never on the watch itself, Zepp Health has finally released Firmware 3.10.0.1.
This update marks the end of a frustrating period for Bip 6 owners. In late December 2025, an initial rollout (v3.8.0.1) was paused due to performance issues on earlier hardware batches.
Today’s release confirms that Zepp Health has optimized the BioCharge algorithm to be “hardware agnostic,” ensuring smooth performance even on the base-model Bip 6.
What’s New in the Bip 6 Firmware 3.10.0.1 Update?
Firmware version 3.10.0.1 is the “stability” release Bip 6 owners have been waiting for. While previous versions felt like a beta test, this build is a polished, device-level rollout designed to work across all hardware variants.
The Headliner: BioCharge Arrival
This update officially retires the old Readiness score and replaces it with BioCharge.
- Real-Time Energy Tracking: Unlike Readiness, which gave you a static score in the morning, BioCharge updates every 30 minutes based on your current strain.
- Nap Recognition: For the first time on the Bip 6, daytime naps will actually “recharge” your score.
- Actionable Data: It feels much closer to Garmin’s Body Battery, telling you if you have enough “fuel” for an evening run or if you should prioritize sleep.
Navigation & UI Refinements
Zepp Health has finally addressed the “clunky” interface issues reported in late 2025:
- Notification “Auto-Exit”: Previously, clearing an alert left you stuck in a menu. Now, dismissing a notification returns you directly to your watch face.
- Weather Sync Fix: The weather widget now refreshes automatically upon Bluetooth reconnection, fixing the “No Data” bug.
- Smoother Animations: The transition between widgets feels noticeably snappier, especially on the 32MB RAM units.
Tester’s Note: After updating, I noticed the heart rate sensor green light stays active for about 5 seconds longer after you take the watch off. This appears to be a new “wear-detection” calibration to ensure BioCharge doesn’t give you false data when the watch is on your nightstand.
Performance & Health Tweaks
- Crystal Clear Voice Prompts: Audio alerts for distance and heart rate zones have been refined for better clarity through Bluetooth earbuds.
- Sleep Algorithm v4.2: Improved detection between “lying in bed awake” and “actual sleep,” reducing those annoying 12-hour sleep scores when you were just reading.
- Third-Party Sync: Full stability for Stryd pods and structured TrainingPeaks workouts.
How to Update Your Amazfit Bip 6 to 3.10.0.1
To ensure you aren’t stuck on the old “Readiness” system, follow these steps:
- Open the Zepp App on your paired smartphone.
- Navigate to Profile > My Devices > Amazfit Bip 6.
- Tap System Update.
- Ensure you see Version 3.10.0.1 (Approx. 9.12 MB).
- Keep your watch and phone close together; the installation takes roughly 5–8 minutes.
BioCharge vs. Readiness: What Changed?
BioCharge isn’t just a name change; it’s a shift from static snapshots to dynamic energy tracking. In my testing of the new build, the most noticeable difference is how it handles daytime recovery.
| Feature | Old “Readiness” | New “BioCharge” |
| Tracking Logic | Focuses on HRV + Sleep | Sleep + Activity + Stress + Naps |
| Update Cycle | One score given at wake-up | Real-time updates every 30 mins |
| Recovery | Only “recharges” during deep sleep | Recharges during naps or sedentary rest |
| Actionability | “Should I work out today?” | “How much energy do I have right now?” |
Key Insight: While Readiness was a “Pass/Fail” score for your morning, BioCharge acts like Garmin’s Body Battery. If you take a 20-minute power nap, you will actually see your BioCharge score tick upward—something the old system couldn’t track.
Beyond Energy: Other Hidden Fixes in 3.10.0.1
While BioCharge is the headline, Firmware 3.10.0.1 addresses several “quality of life” bugs reported by the community on Reddit and Discord over the last month:
- The “Notification Trap” Fixed: Previously, clearing a notification left you stuck in the message menu. Now, clearing an alert sends you directly back to your watch face.
- Weather Sync Logic: Improved “Keep-Alive” background sync with the Zepp app. No more “No Data” screens when you check the temperature.
- Workout Voice Prompts: The audio quality of the built-in voice prompts has been tuned for better clarity through connected Bluetooth earbuds.
- Sleep Algorithm v4.2: Refined detection of “Wake” vs “Light Sleep” to prevent the watch from thinking you’re asleep while just reading in bed.
Still No Update? Try These 3 Fixes
If your Zepp app says “Your firmware is up to date” but you are still stuck on version 3.8.x, try these steps:
- Force Quit the Zepp App: Fully close the app on your phone and reopen it. This often forces a new handshake with the Amazfit servers.
- Check the “Accessibility” Menu: Some early-batch users found the update hidden under Profile > Bip 6 > Watch Settings > Accessibility.
- The Region Switch (Advanced): If you are outside the US, some users have had success temporarily changing their Zepp account region to “United States” to trigger the download, though we recommend waiting 24–48 hours for the local rollout.
❓ FAQ: BioCharge Troubleshooting
I don’t see the update yet. Why?
Zepp Health rollouts are regional. As of February 4, it is live in North America and parts of Europe. India and Southeast Asia typically follow 48–72 hours later.
Does BioCharge drain more battery?
In the first 24 hours of testing, I noticed a negligible 1-2% increase in daily battery drain due to the continuous background calculation of energy levels.
Will this work with my Stryd power meter?
Yes. Firmware 3.10.0.1 maintains the Stryd and TrainingPeaks support introduced in the previous (v3.8) build, allowing you to sync structured power-based workouts.
The Verdict: Does the Bip 6 Finally Feel “Finished”?
With the arrival of BioCharge, the Amazfit Bip 6 finally delivers on its launch promises. It bridges the gap between a budget fitness tracker and a serious training tool. The interface is smoother, the data is more actionable, and the “ghost features” are finally gone.
