The Amazfit Balance 2 is not only receiving a new model variant, but also a new software update. Specifically, this updates the firmware to version 3.22.0.4, although according to Reddit users, it’s not yet available to all users . It’s quite likely that the 16.51 MB update will be rolled out in waves and not to all users at the same time.
The new software feature adds several new functions, including the BioCharge app introduced with the Amazfit Helio Arm Band, which completely replaces the Readiness app. BioCharge is designed to give users intuitive insight into their energy reserves. Especially for athletes at a certain level of training and with a relatively small training volume, such a feature can help avoid overload while also ensuring optimal utilization of their training potential. Heart rate changes can now also be monitored in real time.
There are also changes to the display: a segmented display is now supported, and there are reminders for waypoints. According to Zepp Health, the golf mode can now be used worldwide. The changelog also mentions further changes and improvements, such as improved heart rate monitoring when swimming.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

Growing up in regional Australia, I first became acquainted with computers in my early teens after a broken leg from a football (soccer) match temporarily condemned me to a predominately indoor lifestyle. Soon afterwards I was building my own systems. Now I live in Germany, having moved here in 2014, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly fascinated by how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically reshaped human culture, and how it continues to do so.
