The Amazfit Active smartwatch range is receiving an upgrade with the latest software update, promising new features that enhance its functionality and user experience. The update, identified as version number 6.1.2.1, introduces advanced coaching modes, compatibility with Bluetooth accessories, and additional health monitoring capabilities.
Among the improvements, the update adds new Zepp Coach guidance modes to the smartwatch. These new modes allow users to toggle between different types of training, including time and heart rate or distance and pace-based exercises. With a training score feature also included, users can more easily track progress towards their fitness goals. This performance metric ensures that users can monitor their improvements and set realistic targets for future workouts.
Bluetooth accessory support is another significant aspect of this update. Users will now be able to connect heart rate strap accessories to their smartwatches to gain more accurate readings during exercise sessions. Setting up this feature is straightforward; it can be found under Watch Settings, then Bluetooth, and subsequently under Workout Accessory.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurement is increasingly recognized as an important health indicator, and this update brings it to the forefront with the introduction of a mini app dedicated to HRV tracking. Users can download this app from the smartwatch’s app store to better understand their stress and recovery status, as HRV offers insights into the autonomic nervous system’s balance between fight or flight (sympathetic) and rest and digest (parasympathetic) responses.
While a shared screenshot reveals these updates, the full changelog seems to have more to offer but is cut short. An update for Zepp Flow v1.5 is visible, hinting at additional optimizations that may be included in the package.
A detail worth noting is that some consumers have mentioned ongoing issues with receiving WhatsApp group notifications on the smartwatch. It’s not specified if this concern has been addressed in the current update.
For those interested in accessing these new features and enhancements, you can check for the update’s availability by opening the Zepp app, navigating to Profile, selecting Amazfit Active, and finally tapping on System Update.
With this update, Amazfit continues to showcase commitment to enhancing smartwatch capabilities, providing users with a more rounded and comprehensive wearable experience. Whether it’s through refined health monitoring tools or better-integrated training features, such updates ensure that smartwatches remain a valuable and versatile companion for everyday use.
Users are encouraged to stay tuned for further advancements and to frequently check for the latest updates to keep their devices up to speed with the newest features and improvements.
