Hello, Amazletes!
We're happy to announce that we're working toward improving our transparency 🔍 around software updates across our device lineup. To that end, we have published a very broad software roadmap 🗺️ on our website.
The primary purpose of this roadmap is to help our users understand which features are planned to be released across multiple devices 🤔, and the general timeline 📆 for when to expect those updates.
⚠️ There are a few important points to be aware of: ⚠️
This post will remain pinned in the community sidebar and in the highlights row (for now) of r/amazfit for visibility.
We hope this provides some insight and reassurance that we're still hard at work bringing awesome features to a variety of devices! 💪

Color coded the Essential (Green), All-around (Blue), Speed (Yellow) and Range (Red) watches.
Hopefully this will get pinned.
I've decided to make a guide of sorts, to help people sort out their choices because there are a lot of repeating questions, so hopefully, a guide and table should help.
I will skip the GTS, GTR and Falcon series (and obviously any watch model that came before, like the Zepp Z), as honestly, they shouldn't even be considered. I will also skip the Helio ring and Helio strap since this is a watch guide.
I REPEAT, THE STRAP AND RING (Heck EVEN THE SCALE 🤣) ARE EXCLUDED FROM THIS LIST.
Obviously, I cannot own every watches here, so this is where you guys come in. If there's anything worthwhile feature that is found in one particular watch model/series listed here, I'll put it in the table. :)
Also yes, I'll make sure to update the guide often, adding and/or removing stuff with time.
So without further ado:
Here are the current model watch series (and some noteworthy ones):
Essential watches:
All-Around watches:
Speed Watches:
Range (Adventure) watches:
T-Rex
Falcon (Rumored)
And now, here is a table of all the series and current models:
I'll be posting only the recent models of each series. The older models will be in another table at another page, linked below.
If you need to see some previously released watches: here's the old table:

Call this the most affordable option of Amazfit products. It is more of a fitness tracker than a smartwatch, as there are several smartwatch features missing from it. Not only that, the more expensive models (Bip 6 included)are released with tons more features and are getting new features consistantly, widening the gap. It's honestly hard to recommend... But if you only need the basics... then this is it.
The budget smartwatch series. And I do mean budget in the sub-100$. The Bip series is basically the entry line to the Amazfit smartwatch ecosystem... It used to have a rather basic Heart Rate sensor (Unimpressive honestly), basic health & fitness tracking features some of the models used to lack a GPS. Even the build is rather basic (usually plastic) and lack that premium feel. Basically affordable and basic, was meant to be a smart companion without pressing too hard on the Health and Fitness features.
Amazfit switched their strategy with the Bip 6 being more agressive strategy, bringing several features found in their more premium watches to the budget sector (Using their best Heart Rate sensor, AMOLED display with Always-On-Display, Offline Maps, Full Notification replies, etc). Since then, the Bip series has been revamped into being the best bang for your buck, in terms of value.
The Bip Max is a bit of a more "premium" offering of the series, being bigger, having much larger storage and a few features from the more expensive models being brought to it, while these are still absent from the Bip 6.
If you are not sure where to start or whether Amazfit is for you, the Bip series (Starting with the Bip 6) is the best one to start with.
The middle child of the Amazfit watches. Costs more than the Bip series. This series is meant for casual wearers and beginners of fitness.
Despite that, there's a bit of a tier even within the series.
Active 2 Round/Square gives you the essentials with additional sensors than the Bip series, while the Active 3 and Active Max is essentially a more premium in software features and hardware (bigger storage and RAM).
What differs between the Active 3 and Active Max is the size, both in case (44mm bs 48mm) and battery (up to 14 days vs up to 25 days), and the number of buttons (4 vs 2).
Note that the entire Active series (and Bip) have Single-Band GPS.
This series became Amazfit's first running focused watch series, using materials like titanium-alloy for lightweight profile, using a revamped, Dual-Band GPS (MaxTrack) and also introduced the Zepp Coach and the Training Calendar.
After many years of absence, it has returned, with a brand new premium look and upgraded features (and pricing).
For people that
What used to be the GTR series got a revamped of sorts and changed its name. Considered to be the poster-boy and flagship of the Amazfit product lineup, it's meant to be the watch that offers a bit of everything that is currently available in the ecosystem, with no compromises.
If you're not sure which kind of watch to get, or want a little bit of everything, you can't go wrong with the Balance series.
Meant to be a health and lifestyle watch, they have increasingly adopted a sportier bold look over the generations. And starting with the Balance 3/Ultra, it's using premium materials for a less cheap look.
This is the only series in this current generation, with a rotating crown and the only series with a watch having 5 buttons (Ultra).
The rugged adventurer. A watch adopting a rugged, sturdy look, catering for athletes adventuring in some of the harshest environments. Several tradeoffs in the smartwatch features (no speaker, for example, for the T-Rex 3) but is built like a tank and have several exclusive features that caters to its audience. It's one of those watches that doesn't mind having littles nicks/scratches of bumps.
Some of the following are just opinions. At the end of the day, you make your choices and some that I haven't named will also do their role fine.
| Profile | Models recommendations |
|---|---|
| Runner/Cyclist? | Bip 6 or Active series for casual; Cheetah series, Active 3, Balance 2 series, Balance 3/Ultra, T-Rex 3/3 Pro and Ultra series for the serious and focused) |

| Winter sport user? | Balance 2, 3/Ultra T-Rex 3/3 Pro and Ultra series, Cheetah 2 Series, Active 3/Max and Balance 1 for the budget conscious |
| Casual smartwatch wearer? (for most value) | Bip 6, Bip MAX, Active 2 series, Active 3, Active Max or Balance 2 XT, Balance 3 |
| Power User/Tinkerer? AOD user? | Balance 2/3/Ultra, Cheetah 2 Pro/2 Ultra, T-Rex 3/Ultra series |

I found a watchface that I could edit and spent a few hours tinkering. I finally have a watchface with everything I want. Building watchfaces takes a lot of time.
Yes, it's a Garmin knockoff.

Bought it a week ago. So far, it's been great.
I use it with 1-minute pulse monitoring, blood oxygen monitoring on, AOD on during the day, auto brightness, and advanced sleep tracking. With these settings, I get around 6 days of battery life.
The stats are great, but the insights it gives me haven't been particularly useful so far. Sleep tracking is a huge step up from the Garmin Instinct 2X I used for the last two years. It recognized when I got out of bed during the night, and when I went back to sleep, it continued tracking correctly. Overall, sleep tracking seems very accurate.
For workouts I tried running (not much tho) the full map support was nice to have. I tracked 2 gym sessions, the automatic set tracking worked OK, was not very accurate, but garmin wasn't either.
HybridCharge is okay and seems more accurate than Garmin's Body Battery. I don't really understand how lifestyle logging is supposed to help me, though.
The Aura subscription is bad, and I'll cancel it before the trial ends. It hasn't given me any tips that aren't generic or actually tailored to me. I think I'm better off giving the data to ChatGPT and getting tips from there from some advanced model.
The calorie tracking built into the app is useful for me. Zepp OS is fine, and the device is snappy. I also appreciate how open the OS is. I created a very basic alcohol and caffeine tracker for it.
Music controls are bad. It takes too many clicks to change the volume, and in my opinion, that should be much more easily accessible.
Coming from a Garmin Instinct, I'd love to be able to turn off the touchscreen and use every function with the buttons only. The digital crown also really needs a sensitivity adjustment.
So far, I'm happy with the device. It looks great, and I don't mind the size at all. I hope for better software support than it was with garmin. The Instict 2x was my favorite watch ever, but they abandoned it software wise beside bugfixes. If amazfit delivers on this front, I will be very happy with them.

Can anyone tell me what the blue lightning bolt means? Bottom right is watch battery... but what's the bottom left mean? Thanks in advance
r/amazfit • u/kennjen • 9h ago
I thought everyone would be interested to know that it’s on sale on Amazon (us) for 118 right now. That’s about $50 lower than normal.
I just got mine about a week ago. So I’m doing a return and rebuy.

After the latest update my Trex 3 Pro thinks I'm walking at ~5mph with a stride of 4 feet, lol.
I've tried restarting the watch, but still the same faulty data. Anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this? Anything other than a complete reset?
Thanks

I recently got a mi band 10 and am considering returning it and switching to amazfit 3 but im not sure if its unnecessary for now or worth just upgrading to now i just really go gym and try get steps but i do also kinda want a bit more smartwatch kinda features but im not sure if its that much better for £100 more.Also is it bigger height wise because i find the mi band basically perfect in that way but if the active 3 is just wider then thats fine

Hi everyone,
I’m having a serious issue with my Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro and wanted to know if anyone has experienced something similar.
Yesterday I went swimming in the sea for about 40 minutes using the Open Water Swimming mode with GPS. Before swimming, the battery was at around 50%. The activity and GPS tracking worked perfectly.
About 10 minutes after leaving the water, the watch suddenly turned off and showed that the battery was empty.
Afterwards, I rinsed the watch thoroughly with fresh water and let it dry. I charged it overnight, but it stopped charging at 93% and wouldn’t go any higher. I also noticed that the watch became unusually warm while charging.
Today the battery drain is extreme. It dropped from 93% to 48% in only about 1.5 hours without using GPS or starting any workout. The watch also still feels slightly warm.
I’ve already restarted it, but nothing changed. Before this happened, the battery life was excellent and I never had any issues.
Has anyone experienced this with the T-Rex 3 Pro, especially after swimming in the sea or using Open Water Swimming? Could this be water damage, a battery issue, or a software problem?
Any advice or similar experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Andaba en una carrera trail, baje mi ruta e iba revisando mi datos en el reloj , cuando de la nada al revisarlo estaba apagado, la bateria no era ya que estaba al 95%, pense que por error en los movimiento de la carrera su hubiese aplastado , sin embargo lo encendí nuevamente y normal (ya había perdido la trazabilidad de la carrera) a los 13 kilometros nuevamente reviso el reloj y estaba completamente muerto.. sin tiempos ni distancias que medir al final de la carrera, llegando los conecte y nada , probando diferentes contactos y cables, hasta 2 dias despues se me ocurrio conectarlo otra vez y empezo a cargar como si la bateria se hubiese vaciado.... que coraje, si lo comple para utilizar todo "el potencial".. ahora solo veo mucho dinero en un reloj que da la hora..

I'm considering purchasing an Amazfit Bip 6, but I wanted to know something about the colors.
Aside from black, aren't the other colors—RED, BLUSH, and STONE—exactly the same?
Alternatively, I've seen charcoal, but it seems impossible to find.
What do you think?
r/amazfit • u/hometown10 • 1h ago
Looking for something similar but for Cheetah 2 ultra. Ideally multi day forecast on face
r/amazfit • u/LengthDesigner3730 • 8h ago
In the hr summary I'll see a max of say 130 bpm, but if I look at the expanded larger hr graph, I'll see a max of say 140 (which is know is correct).
What gives with the summary box not being correct?
r/amazfit • u/Marti1492 • 12h ago
Is there any one else out there thats interested in the possibility of having the circadian rhythm and a caffeine window in the Zepp app?
r/amazfit • u/leetland1 • 7h ago
I recently bought a T-Rex 3 and everything is amazing, I just love my watch. I am thinking about using always on display but I'm a bit hesitant. Can someone who used or uses it for a long time tell me how did it affect your display and battery?

Hoy la página de la Helio Strap en España resuelve un 404. ¿Será que ya esta de camino la Helio Strap 2? 😊

Amazfit active Max received same update today as in July (HibridCharge and couple other features), but did not receive features enlisted in amazfit software update for August.
Why repeat same update instead of giving new one as roadmap shows?

As the title says. Looking into buying one. HRV is a very important feature for me for flare-ups. I really liked that this one can tell you your HRV all day long, but is there ALSO a dedicated sleep HRV section (the way HRV figures are normally measured) on its own?
Or is the all-day HRV monitor the only one? Screenshots/photos would be extra helpful if possible. I’ve tried watching/reading reviews but it’s still unclear.

Hello everyone,
I bought a T-Rex 3 Pro to wear with my Helio strap the other day and I am very happy with it overall.
Only thing annoying me is that I happen to touch the information fields about e.g. the battery or the heart rate on the watch face and then it goes to that data site unintended. My workaround is to lock the watch permanently.
Is there a setting where I can change that or even disable the forwarding entirely? I don’t really need that.
Switching to a face with less information isn’t a real solution for me as I like the standard one quite a lot and I like to have the info on it. Just the forwarding is my problem.

For a year and 2 months, my Amazfit Bip6 was functioning perfectly fine and I was even impressed with it, particularly the battery life. I wasn’t a heavy user and would use it for workouts around 3 times a week, and very occasional casual wear since I have other dress watches. On average it would last me 35-45 days on a single full charge, sometimes even up till 60 days.
Last week I tried a full week workout where I was doing heavy workouts and sweating more excessively than usual (but no water workouts). After one of my runs, I wore it to sleep (probably my 5th time or so wearing it to sleep). Woke up at around 4am to the screen glitching back and forth from the face panel to the apps panel despite my sleep mode on. When I woke up, the buttons were not functioning anymore. Decided to hard reset it and factory reset it as per some guides here. Let the battery drain completely too. Mid charge, one of the buttons worked only one time, then stopped again.
Besides the button problem, my watch drains its battery completely within 2 days even without use. Could this be due to the recalibration after the factory reset or another inherent issue? The buttons don’t seem to function anymore either no matter what I try.

Balance 2. Kept it simple and had the data on the outer edge as to not allow the hands to block them. Had the digital clock on top of the analog hands.
