Amazfit Balance 2 receives major update with Zepp OS 6 and Apple Health integration

Zepp Health has begun rolling out firmware version 6.2.208.7 for the Amazfit Balance 2 (on Amazon). The 23.33 MB download is already reaching users in various regions, including Germany. The headline feature is the upgrade to Zepp OS 6, which introduces a sportier UI designed for smoother performance and improved visual feedback.

Beyond visual tweaks, the update refined activity tracking across multiple sports. Zepp Health overhauled the breaststroke algorithm, added support for manual pauses, and now clearly separates swimming and rest intervals in workout summaries. Outdoor runners can now add Equivalent Pace—which normalizes running speed relative to elevation changes—as a dedicated data field, and map management has also been updated.

Fitness equipment connectivity sees a notable expansion. The smartwatch can now pair with FTMS-compatible rowing machines, such as the Concept2 RowErg, allowing real-time performance metrics to display directly on the wrist. Additionally, Zepp Health updated the workout library, workout calendar, and sports gear management, while Apple Watch and iPhone users can now sync heart rate variability (HRV) data directly to Apple Health.
