Myzone MZ Switch 2 certification hints at an updated heart rate module
The Myzone Switch 2 has surfaced in a new FCC filing, confirming that updated hardware is on the way under the Switch 2.0 name.
When I tested the first generation MZ Switch, that flexibility was the whole appeal. You could use a chest strap when accuracy mattered, then move the same sensor to your arm or wrist for a lighter session. The device handled placement automatically, switching tracking modes on its own. It removed a lot of the friction that usually comes with juggling different sensors.
That approach came with limits. Wrist tracking was never meant to compete with a high end smartwatch, and the Myzone app could feel cluttered at times. Even so, the Switch carved out a clear role as a training focused tool by doing one thing well instead of trying to cover everything.
Refining the experience
The filing itself is pretty dry, but that is actually the most telling part. It confirms that Myzone is keeping the core formula of the original Switch instead of chasing a new shiny object. The wireless setup hasn’t changed at all, so you can expect the MZ Switch 2 to pair, sync, and talk to gym displays exactly like the current version. There is zero evidence here that Myzone wants to change how you actually use the device during a workout.
The photos included in the filing are much more interesting than the technical jargon. On the outside, the Switch 2 looks like a twin to the original. The shape, size, and mounting points seem identical.
You won’t find any hints of mysterious new sensors or wild feature additions in these documents. This looks like a “tightening up” exercise rather than a brand-new concept.
Our takeaway
That approach actually makes a lot of sense for the Switch. The big selling point was always having one sensor that works on your chest, arm, or wrist. While the idea was solid, the first version had plenty of room for improvement when it came to consistency and how the software behaved depending on where you wore it.
If this second generation focuses on smoother transitions between those three positions and better battery management,most users are going to consider that a win. The fact that the design hasn’t changed also points to continuity. Myzone doesn’t seem interested in replacing the Switch with something else. They just want to make it a little easier to live with every day.
FCC filings usually pop up right before a product hits the shelves. Since the hardware in these images looks so polished, we are probably looking at release in the near future.
