Amazfit has finally started selling the Balance 3 Titanium in the US. It costs $449.99, compared with $369.99 for the stainless-steel version. That makes the choice fairly interesting because the two watches are much closer than the $80 price gap might suggest. The Titanium version uses a Grade 5 titanium case and weighs 55g without the strap, compared with 62g for the stainless-steel version. Apart from that, most of the hardware is shared: both have the same 1.5-inch AMOLED display, sapphire glass, 658mAh battery, 64GB storage, GPS and BioTracker 6.0 sensor system. So, if you’re looking at both models and…

Just a few weeks ago, searching for “Amazfit Helio Strap 2” would have led you to dozens of articles claiming Amazfit was preparing a screenless fitness tracker to compete with the Fitbit Air. Most of them pointed to the same FCC filing—model numbers A2671 and A2672—as the evidence. It sounded convincing at the time, but once the real product launched, it became clear those filings had been misinterpreted. I want to walk through why that never happened, and what those model numbers actually belonged to — because it’s a good example of how a wearables leak can snowball into “fact”…

A running watch jumping from $299 to $449.99 in one generation is the kind of price move that should make you pause before adding to cart. That’s exactly what happened with the Cheetah 2 Pro, and the specs alone won’t tell you if the extra $150 is money well spent — because the answer depends entirely on what kind of runner you are. Here’s a better way to figure that out than reading a spec sheet: three questions. Answer them honestly and you’ll know within two minutes whether this watch belongs on your wrist. Question 1: Do You Actually Run…

Short answer: Yes, Amazfit works with iPhone. Every current Amazfit watch connects to iPhone through the Zepp Health app, syncs to Apple Health, and shows your notifications on your wrist. But “works with iPhone” covers a wide range — from basic step counting to replying to messages. The honest answer is more nuanced than a yes or no. Here’s exactly what you get when you pair an Amazfit with an iPhone, what you give up compared to Apple Watch, and which Amazfit makes the most sense if you’re on iOS. What You Need to Get Started Every Amazfit watch requires…

Last Updated: July 15, 2026 — Pre-orders live. US shipping starts today. This is the complete breakdown of what is new, what is not, and exactly who should buy it. Amazfit just shipped the Helio Strap Pro — $199.99, no subscription, dual sensor system. The original Helio Strap was $99.99 and genuinely good. The Pro costs twice as much. Before you decide whether to upgrade or buy for the first time, there is one thing you need to understand clearly — because most coverage has buried it: The waist module only works in HYROX Race and HYROX Simulation modes at…

Last Updated: August 28, 2026 — Is the Amazfit solar watch real? Yes. The Amazfit T-Rex Dual Solar (model A2570) has cleared regulatory certification in Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, and the Eurasian Economic Union as of early August 2026, with Malaysia’s SIRIM filing confirming the name. The name has now been independently confirmed a second time — inside Zepp Health’s own companion app (version 10.7.3), which also revealed a new “Solar Boost Mode” feature. It’s expected to feature dual solar panels (watch face + case back), a low-power MIP-style display, and could push battery life to 60–100+ days. No official…

Here’s the deal with Amazfit watches under $100 in 2026. Three options are worth your time: the Bip Max ($99), the Bip 6 ($79), and the Active 2 ($99 standard). One of them is the right answer for most people. One is only right if your budget is genuinely tight. And one is the best new option if screen size and storage matter more than NFC. This guide tells you which is which — no filler, no padding. The Short Version — Pick Yours and Go Want the biggest screen and most storage under $100? → Amazfit Bip Max —…

Nine Amazfit watches. One right answer for you. The lineup grew significantly in 2026 — new models at almost every price point, from $99 to $599.

You run regularly and want training tools? → Amazfit Active 3 Premium…

I bought the Amazfit Active 2 Premium the week it launched in February 2025. That was 16 months ago. Most watch reviews are written after two weeks. Mine is written after 600 miles of running, two international trips, countless gym sessions, and a year and a half of sleeping with it on my wrist every single night. A lot can change in 16 months. The watch has received dozens of software updates — including the major Zepp OS 5 overhaul and several significant firmware drops like v6.1.20.3 which finally fixed strength tracking and v6.3.10.4 which added pro running metrics. I’ve…

After testing it on real trails — from muddy forest loops to sub-zero ridgelines — here is everything you need to decide if the T-Rex 3 Pro beats the Garmin at half the price. Garmin has dominated the rugged smartwatch market for years. Fenix 8 — $900. Epix Pro — $1,000. The assumption has always been: if you want a serious outdoor watch, you pay the serious price. The Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro wants to challenge that assumption — hard. At $400, it brings a titanium body, sapphire glass, downloadable offline maps, a dual-color LED flashlight, and a claimed 19-day…
