Amazfit lineup tour: Balance 2 dive modes, T-Rex 3 Pro titanium, Helio Strap recovery

Amazfit walks through a full wearable lineup built around sports tracking, long runtimes, and a relatively lightweight software stack. The newest drop here is the Active Max, positioned as a mid-tier watch with a larger 1.5-inch AMOLED panel (up to 3000 nits), up to 25 days of claimed battery life, and 4GB storage that can hold roughly 100 hours of podcasts, plus offline maps for phone-free training. https://us.amazfit.com/products/active-max

The rest of the range is framed as “pick the form factor that fits your day, keep the data in one place.” Active 2 is the smaller, style-first option, while the Helio Strap is a screenless band aimed at recovery and sleep for people who don’t want a watch on at night; wearing it on the upper arm also improves comfort during hard sessions. The common thread is continuous sensor data feeding into Zepp, so readiness-style metrics, sleep staging, stress, and training load stay comparable across devices, even when you swap hardware or take the watch off for a while.

For tougher use-cases, Balance 2 and T-Rex 3 Pro lean into water and outdoor durability, both rated to 10 ATM and positioned for diving modes (including freediving/scuba, with marketing claims up to about 45 m). T-Rex 3 Pro also comes in 44 mm and 48 mm sizes and uses rugged materials like grade-5 titanium elements, while keeping practical features like mic/speaker for calls, GPS-based navigation, and offline mapping in the same app flow. This segment was filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, which is why the pitch focuses on quick comparisons rather than deep lab testing here.

Zepp’s nutrition tooling is the other interesting angle: there’s an in-app food log that can estimate macros from a photo, and the “Vital Food Camera” concept pushes that idea into dedicated hardware that captures multiple images per minute to infer what you ate, in what order, and how much you actually consumed. If Amazfit ships something like that, the hard problems won’t be the camera—it’ll be privacy controls, on-device vs cloud inference, and accurate portion estimation across messy real meals, all while keeping battery budgets realistic. The price point mentioned for Active Max is $169, and the broader message is a decade of power-management tuning via Amazfit’s own OS and athlete feedback loops, without moving the products out of reach for regular buyers today.
