Amazfit introduced two new smartwatches on June 2 — the Balance 3 and Balance Ultra — and said they are the flagship hardware for a new Hybrid Training System built around strength work, endurance sessions, recovery and daily-life tracking. The launch was announced in a Business Wire release and on Amazfit’s own regional news pages. The company said the system combines watch hardware with the Zepp app, which it described as the software layer that organizes training and recovery data into structured guidance. Amazfit unveiled the products at a New York launch event with panelists from the fitness and HYROX community, according to the release. ### What exactly did Amazfit launch? The June 2 announcement covered two watches: the Balance 3, aimed at what Amazfit called “everyday hybrid athletes,” and the Balance Ultra, which the company described as the flagship expression of the Balance line. Amazfit said both devices are designed for users balancing gym work, running, recovery, work stress and daily routines rather than training in a single discipline. (businesswire.com) Amazfit’s U.S. product pages show the Balance 3 listed at $369.99 and the Balance Ultra at $599.99. The Balance 3 page says the watch is built around “Gym. Running. Recovery. One Watch,” while the Balance Ultra page describes it as a connected performance watch for structured hybrid training. ### What does Amazfit mean by “Hybrid Training System”? (businesswire.com) Amazfit said the new system is meant to pull several types of data into one ecosystem: strength training, endurance work, recovery and everyday activity. The company said the watches act as the “engine layer” of that system, while the Zepp app serves as the “intelligence layer.” (us.amazfit.com) Wayne Huang, CEO of Zepp Health, said in the company release that “the future of training is not about doing more without direction” and “is about training with structure.” Huang said Amazfit built the system around how modern athletes actually train, with multiple demands competing for time and recovery.

Balance Ultra is described by Amazfit as the higher-end model, with Grade 5 titanium construction and a design the company said is meant to move between training, work and daily life. The U.S. and European product pages both present it as the top model in the new Balance lineup. (eu.amazfit.com) Balance 3 is positioned lower in the range and is offered in stainless steel and titanium versions, according to Amazfit’s release. The company said the model is intended for users who want one device for gym sessions, running, recovery and daily performance tracking. ### Did Amazfit give pricing and availability details? (eu.amazfit.com) Amazfit’s press release did not include U.S. prices in the text surfaced through Business Wire, but the company’s U.S. storefront now lists both products for sale. The Balance 3 stainless steel model is listed at $369.99, while the Balance Ultra is listed at $599.99. (eu.amazfit.com) A third-party repost of the announcement said the stainless steel Balance 3 and Balance Ultra were available from June 2, while a titanium Balance 3 variant would come later. That timing aligns with the product pages showing the Balance 3 in more than one material option. (businesswire.com) ### Where does this fit in Amazfit’s broader product push? Amazfit said at CES 2026 that it was building a broader performance ecosystem around training, recovery and nutrition, including a concept called the V1TAL Food Camera. The new Balance launch extends that strategy by tying watches more explicitly to structured coaching through the Zepp app. That is an inference based on the company’s CES language and this week’s launch materials. (streetinsider.com) The next concrete step is retail availability through Amazfit’s own store pages, where the Balance 3 and Balance Ultra are now listed in the United States at $369.99 and $599.99, respectively.
