The Amazfit Balance smartwatch is now getting its 3.25.11.1 update globally. This new version, called the Balance OTA 8.1 update, was shared with everyone earlier this month. At first, it was just for people in the US, Canada, and Italy who own the device.
Update Features
According to Zepp Health’s announcement, the update brings three optimizations. These are improvements to the algorithms for sleep detection and wake detection, as well as changes to the step-counting algorithm. Additionally, the timing for the Morning Update delivery has been said to be better now.
Detailed Change Log
Users of the Balance smartwatch have shared more information about the update. The file size for the update is 11.02MB. Another exciting feature that has been introduced is the support for the DJI Osmo Action Bluetooth remote control available in the App store. The release notes also mention that this feature allows users to overlay their workout data, like speed or route, onto video recordings.
The extended change log also highlights a new Strength Training Action Quality Assessment, along with extra workouts for Ski mountaineering, Dog walking, Snow shoveling, and a tap-to-wake option. However, it’s important to note that these features, as well as an intelligent workout start, an unread notifications indicator, and a Bluetooth disconnection alert, were included in the earlier version 3.25.5.5 update that came out in December.
Phased Rollout
This update is being rolled out in phases, and many users in the US, Canada, and Italy have mentioned they are still waiting for it. Sadly, Zepp Health hasn’t provided a timeline on when they expect to make the 3.25.11.1 update available to all Amazfit Balance smartwatch owners (currently priced at $149.99 on Amazon).
