Amazfit Balance 2 just got a big boost with firmware 3.24.6.2. More than a simple patch, this update makes your watch quicker, smarter, and more reliable—perfect for workouts and daily tracking.
The Headliner: Stryd Accessory Integration
This is the big one. For any runner who uses data to drive their training, the new support for the Stryd foot pod accessory is a monumental win.
Stryd is the gold standard for power-based running metrics.
By connecting your Amazfit Balance 2 directly to the Stryd pod, you can now capture the most complete, accurate, and consistent running power and distance data available. This is essential for:
- Precise Pacing: Power metrics are instantly responsive, helping you hold an exact effort level regardless of wind or hills.
- Data Integrity: Runners who value high-fidelity data for structured training plans can now use their Balance 2 as a true high-performance running watch.
If power is a key part of your training, go ahead and pair that Stryd pod—your watch is now ready to handle it!
More Than Just a Feature: The Quality-of-Life Boosts
While Stryd support takes the spotlight, Amazfit has also quietly improved several core functions that make the day-to-day use of the Balance 2 much better:
- Improved Connection Diagnostics: Frustrated by cryptic Wi-Fi errors? The new firmware features enhanced Wi-Fi connection error messages, making it much easier for you to figure out what’s wrong and get back online faster.
- Smarter Strap Data: If you use the Helio Strap (Amazfit’s sleep tracking ring), you’ll appreciate that the algorithm for combining the watch and strap data has been boosted for greater accuracy. Your sleep and recovery metrics just got more reliable.
- Activity App Refinements: They’ve also refined the reminders within the Activity app to be more effective and better timed, helping you stay on track with your workouts.
- The BioCharge Fix: A minor but annoying visual glitch where the BioCharge display wasn’t appearing normally has been successfully squashed.
