Amazfit expands into hybrid smartwatches with the Balance 3 and Balance Ultra, pairing extensive training data (180+ modes, including scuba and HYROX-specific options) and recovery tracking with the Zepp app. The Balance 3 lineup offers up to 21 days of battery life (Stainless Steel and Titanium), while the Balance Ultra lasts up to 30 days and uses a Grade 5 Titanium chassis. Prices are $369.99 for Balance 3 Stainless Steel, $599.99 for Balance Ultra, and $449.99 for Balance 3 Titanium (coming soon).

NBC Select finds Amazfit offers strong value in the budget wearables space, with the Active 2 and Active 3 Premium delivering premium build quality and long battery life for under $170, a screenless Helio Strap under $100, and rugged options like the T-Rex Pro 3 and Balance 2 for outdoor use; the Bip 6 remains the cheapest option. Main caveats are less polished software and app navigation versus Apple/Google rivals, occasional stock issues with the Helio Strap, and a recommendation to skip the overpriced T-Rex Ultra 2 and the uncertain Helio Ring. Overall, budget shoppers get solid performance for the price, with the Active 3 Premium often standing out.
