Description

An AMOLED screen under sapphire and a steel case

The 1.5-inch AMOLED display has a resolution of 480 × 480 pixels and a peak brightness of 3000 nits, so your data stays clear even in midday sun. It is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire glass. The stainless steel case measures 51 mm across and 14.6 mm thick, and the watch weighs 62 g. One black 22 mm silicone strap is included, fitting wrists of 140–210 mm.

HybridCharge: training load and recovery in one view

At the heart of the Balance 3 is HybridCharge, which combines BioCharge, LifeLoad and training load into a single estimate of how much capacity you have right now. The watch shows when it makes sense to push and when to rest. The Zepp App turns your sessions into an overview, and its Weekly Focus and Training Balance tools help keep strength, endurance and recovery work in proportion.

HYROX modes and 180 sports

There are 180 sports modes plus dedicated HYROX tools: training plans, race simulations, HYROX Virtual Pace and a post-race analysis that breaks your result down by pacing, stations, ranking and total time. Pair a Stryd footpod and HYROX Race Mode shows real-time indoor pace. Workouts sync with Strava and TrainingPeaks, and a virtual pacer is available as well.

Dual-band GPS, flashlight and SOS

Positioning uses six satellite systems, a circularly polarised GPS antenna and dual-band support according to the manufacturer, so your track records accurately even between tall buildings. The built-in flashlight offers white and red light. Safety Light mode makes a runner more visible early in the morning and in the evening, and there are Boost and SOS modes too. A barometric altimeter and compass help on the trail.

Calls, voice control and Zepp Pay

A microphone and speaker let you make and take Bluetooth calls straight from your wrist. Zepp Flow 2.0 voice control starts a workout, checks updates and records voice notes without stopping. Zepp Pay uses NFC and lets you link up to eight bank cards for payments from the watch. It also shows call and SMS notifications and the weather, controls music and helps you find your phone. Storage is 64 GB.

Who this smartwatch is for

The Amazfit Balance 3 suits someone who splits the week between the gym, running and recovery and wants a watch that helps plan the load. HYROX athletes get ready-made plans and a race mode, while office workers get an elegant steel watch for taking calls and paying. The battery lasts up to 21 days according to the manufacturer, so the charger does not need to come on every trip.
