Is this a new Amazfit Balance variant in the HYROX Warsaw clip
A new HYROX Warsaw promo video from Amazfit Poland may have given us an early glimpse of an unannounced watch. While the device carries a limited event watch face, the hardware itself appears similar to the Balance 2, but not quite the same, raising the possibility that Zepp Health may be preparing a new variant.
A familiar design with some obvious differences
A few things stand out in the Instagram post. While the display and overall proportions look very Balance-like, the casing does not immediately resemble a standard Balance 2 render. The biggest difference is the outer case architecture. Instead of the smoother round shell and clearly exposed crown of the current model, this one appears to sit inside a more angular protective frame, with harder edges and what look like screw-like details around the top and bottom.
The lugs also seem chunkier and more engineered than on the Balance 2, where the case-to-strap transition is cleaner and more flowing. Here, the strap almost looks as if it mounts into a reinforced outer shell, which gives the watch a more tactical or hybrid-rugged feel. The side controls are less obvious too, with the crown area appearing more enclosed.
Taken together, it looks close enough to the Balance 2 to suggest the same design family, but different enough to raise questions. So what is it?
Too early for a Balance 3
A straight jump to a Balance 3 feels unlikely. The Balance 2 only launched globally in June 2025, which means it has been on the market for less than a year.
That timing matters because Zepp Health does not usually refresh this line at such a fast pace. A full generational successor would feel a little early, especially as the Balance 2 is still one of the company’s key premium smartwatches.
A mid-cycle variant feels more realistic. This could be something along the lines of a special edition, a region-specific model, or a slightly refreshed version aimed at fitness-focused users. We recently saw the launch of Active 3 Premium. Perhaps this is a premium version of Balance 2?
HYROX link could be the real clue
Another interesting angle is the HYROX connection itself. The watch face in the video clearly references HYROX Warsaw, which suggests it was created specifically for the event.
That opens up the possibility that Zepp Health is testing a special edition tied to its ongoing HYROX partnership. The company has been leaning heavily into this relationship, so a Balance-based training edition would make sense.
Some on social media are also comparing it to the T-Rex 3 range. So there is an outside chance it could be related to that line instead.
For now, the safest conclusion is that Zepp Health appears to have something in the works. Whether that turns out to be a new variant or simply event-specific marketing hardware is something we will likely find out soon.
