Most of the June rollout was already known. <a href=\"https:\/\/the5krunner.com\/2026\/05\/25\/amazfit-hybridcharge-garmin-whoop\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HybridCharge<\/a> replaces BioCharge across ten products. The <a href=\"https:\/\/the5krunner.com\/hyrox\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HYROX<\/a> expansion lands on the Balance 2 and the T-Rex line. <a href=\"https:\/\/the5krunner.com\/2023\/11\/16\/stryd-review-discount-duo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stryd<\/a> integration reaches Balance 2. The original Balance finally supports integrations with BioCharge, Stryd, and TrainingPeaks. Zepp App and Zepp OS gain LifeLoad, RPE, Weekly Focus and Hybrid Training Plans. Some information for August is also trailed, but it doesn\u2019t say anything worth including below.<\/p>\n<p>The headline news from the roadmap is narrower:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-122014 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1780843697_887_w=9999.png\" alt=\"Amazfit Balance Ultra hybrid training watch on the Q3 2026 software roadmap\" width=\"1920\" height=\"948\"  \/>Balance ULTRA<\/p>\n<p>The iOS Notification Forwarding context is covered separately in <a href=\"https:\/\/the5krunner.com\/2026\/05\/16\/garmin-ios-26-5-eu\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the May 16 piece<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The full roadmap is long. The table below lists what each watch gets in June and July. Scan to find your model.<\/p>\n<p>One row stands out. The Helio Strap gets a single line for June, \u201cEnhanced HRV accuracy,\u201d and nothing for July. It is the thinnest entry on the page. With Zepp Health\u2019s CFO already confirming a <a href=\"https:\/\/the5krunner.com\/2026\/06\/06\/amazfit-helio-strap-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Helio Strap 2 for H2 2026<\/a>, the silence suggests the current strap is in maintenance mode.<\/p>\n<p>The full roadmap<\/p>\n<p>FAQ<br \/>\nWhich Amazfit watches get iOS Notification Forwarding?<\/p>\n<p>The Balance Ultra, Balance 3 and Cheetah 2 Ultra in June 2026. EU iPhone accounts only. Other Amazfit watches are not on the published roadmap for this feature.<\/p>\n<p>What is HybridCharge?<\/p>\n<p>HybridCharge replaces BioCharge as Amazfit\u2019s readiness score. It combines biometric sensor data with daily self-reported inputs. The platform-wide rollout begins in June 2026 and will reach 10 products.<\/p>\n<p>Is a new Helio Strap coming in 2026?<\/p>\n<p>Yes. <a href=\"https:\/\/the5krunner.com\/2026\/06\/06\/amazfit-helio-strap-2\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Zepp Health\u2019s CFO has confirmed a next-generation Helio Strap<\/a> for the second half of 2026. The thinness of the current Helio Strap roadmap entry, one feature for June and nothing for July, is consistent with the existing strap winding down.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazfit.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">amazfit.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"post-modified-info\">Last Updated on 7 June 2026 by <a href=\"https:\/\/the5krunner.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"last-modified-author\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the5krunner<\/a><\/p>\n<p>My favourite kit and nutrition<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/MaurtenBrand\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Maurten<\/a> \u2014 the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes.
