What we don't like about Amazfit Balance

  • Limited third-party app ecosystem compared to Wear OS or Apple Watch
  • Several advanced AI features and training tools are locked behind paid subscriptions
  • Step counter and heart rate monitoring can be inconsistent during high-intensity workouts

  • Zepp Pay has limited bank support in certain regions compared to major platforms

Verdict

The Amazfit Balance is a health-focused smartwatch featuring a 1.5-inch HD AMOLED display with 480x480 resolution and 1,500 nits peak brightness, encased in a lightweight 35g aluminum alloy shell. Key characteristics include dual-band GPS with six-satellite positioning, Zepp OS 3.0, and a unique BIA sensor for wrist-based body composition metrics like body fat and muscle mass. Its main pros are the exceptional 14-day typical battery life, accurate sleep and readiness tracking, and support for over 150 sports modes alongside Bluetooth calling and Zepp Pay NFC. However, notable cons include a lack of third-party app support compared to Wear OS, some advanced AI features being locked behind subscriptions, and a slightly complex companion app interface.
