The Amazfit Balance smartwatch has received a fresh update, version 3.25.5.5, which is catching the eyes of tech enthusiasts, especially due to a significant tweak in its step-counting feature. The update, a compact 8.53MB, has been stirring conversations online, particularly among users on platforms like Reddit.
The highlight of this update is an adjustment in the step-counting algorithm, aimed at fixing inaccuracies reported by users. Previously, the smartwatch’s OTA 8 update (version 3.25.5.3) was criticized for its exaggerated step counts, with some users claiming that even simple tasks like washing hands added 40 extra steps to their daily tally. Despite the intention to fix this issue, feedback from some users suggests that the change might not be universally effective yet.
Apart from the step count fix, the update carries over several enhancements from the previous version. These include a Strength Training Quality Assessment tool, the automatic initiation of running and walking activities, and three new workout modes: Ski Mountaineering, Dog Walking, and Snow Shoveling. Users keen to experience these features can update their watches via the Zepp app, navigating to Profile, then My Devices, followed by Amazfit Balance, and finally System Update.
The Amazfit Balance smartwatch, known for its blend of functionality and style, remains competitively priced, making it an attractive choice for fitness enthusiasts and tech-savvy individuals alike.
