The release window for the Amazfit Balance 2 XT smartwatch appears to have leaked. This upcoming wearable was first rumored in June 2025<\/a> and has since appeared in various places. Most recently, it was found in the Standard and Industrial Research Institute of Malaysia (SIRIM) database<\/a>.
<\/p>\n

A Best Buy listing<\/a> for the Amazfit Balance 2 XT smartwatch appeared at the start of July 2025<\/a>. Since then, there has been a development in the \u2018Questions and Answers\u2019 section on the product page. In response to a question about the release date of the Balance 2 XT, a representative for Best Buy stated that it \u201cshould be available by the end of the month\u201d, though no exact date was provided. <\/p>\n

In the original Best Buy listing, there appeared to be several errors on the product page. For example, it was said to be 38 mm wide, though the standard Balance 2 watch<\/a> is 47 mm wide. It was also listed with 0.5 GB of storage. Best Buy has now amended these points, stating that the watch is 47 mm wide, matching the original watch, and offers 4 GB of storage.\u00a0
<\/p>\n

The only difference now found in this listing compared to the original Balance 2 watch is the water resistance; the Balance 2 XT is said to be water resistant to 164 ft (~50 m) rather than 328 ft (~100 m). It is unclear if this is correct or a typo.
<\/p>\n

The price of the Amazfit Balance 2 XT smartwatch is still listed at $199.99, which would make it $100 cheaper than the regular Balance 2 smartwatch ($299.99 at Amazon<\/a>). Again, it is unclear if this is the final RRP or a placeholder.<\/p>\n
