A new software update for the Amazfit Active 2 (Round) smartwatch has been released, now at version 6.3.10.4. This update comes a few weeks after the previous firmware version 6.3.8.3, also known as the OTA 4.1 update, was introduced.
Update Delay and Features
Unfortunately, the earlier update didn’t make it to Amazfit Active 2 (Round) users as planned. There seems to have been a problem with that update, which is why the rollout was delayed and a new version number was issued. A user on Reddit has posted the change log for software version 6.3.10.4, which includes features that were meant to be part of the earlier OTA 4.1 update. These features consist of advanced running metrics such as vertical oscillation and ground contact time, a new workout mode for ultra-marathons, and reminders for jump rope activities.
New Functionality
Now, while working out, users can unlock the smartwatch with a wrist raise gesture, and it will respond to button presses even if the screen is off. Additionally, there is a new heart rate icon that indicates the source of heart rate data from external Bluetooth sensors. Furthermore, users can capture a screenshot of the watch face by pressing both buttons on the watch at the same time. However, it is important to highlight that the BioCharge energy level monitoring feature is still not available for the Active 2 (Round).
Installation Process
Amazfit Active 2 (Round) users (currently priced at $79.99 on Amazon) can download this update through the Zepp app. Generally, updates are first available to users in the US, Canada, and China, and then they become more widely accessible about a week later.
