Amazfit HybridCharge rollout shows which watches are next in line
Zepp Health has shared a HybridCharge rollout schedule for Amazfit watches, with several models down for updates from June 2026. The list includes the Balance 2, Active 3 Premium, Cheetah 2 Pro, T-Rex 3 range and more, but it also leaves out a couple of recent budget models.
For those not in the know, HybridCharge is the newer version of BioCharge, or at least the next layer on top of it. BioCharge looks at recovery and body energy through health data. HybridCharge goes a bit further by adding user input such as Life Load events and RPE, so the watch can build a slightly more realistic picture of how drained or ready you are.
Which Amazfit watches are getting HybridCharge
Here’s the current HybridCharge schedule. June is the big month, with most of the listed watches getting the feature then.
Amazfit model | HybridCharge rollout timing |
|---|---|
Cheetah 2 Pro | June 2026 |
Cheetah Ultra | June 2026 |
Balance 2 | June 2026 |
T-Rex 3 | June 2026 |
T-Rex 3 Pro | June 2026 |
T-Rex Ultra 2 | June 2026 |
Active 3 Premium | June 2026 |
Bip Max | June / July 2026 |
Active Max | July / August 2026 |
Balance | Late 2026 |
The original Amazfit Balance is the one that catches the eye. It is not the newest model in the range, but it still makes the cut. That is a good sign for owners, and it shows Zepp Health is still giving the Balance line proper attention.
Just don’t treat the dates as fixed. Firmware updates usually move out in stages, and timing can vary by region. So June means the rollout starts there, not that every watch gets it at the same time.
The real talking point is the gap in the list. Active 2 and Bip 6 are not currently included in the HybridCharge schedule.
Why HybridCharge is useful
Most wearables already give you some kind of readiness or body energy score. The trouble is, they mainly work from sensor data. Heart rate, HRV, sleep and training load are useful, but they still miss plenty of real-life context.
That is where HybridCharge comes in. It lets users add things the watch may not fully understand on its own. Life Load events can cover stress outside of workouts, while RPE tells the system how hard a session actually felt, rather than leaving it to guess from heart rate and pace.
That should make BioCharge feel less like a random number sitting in the app. It gives the system a bit more human input, which could help if you train often, travel a lot or just have days where the watch data does not tell the whole story.
The catch is obvious. How many people will spend time logging things. That remains to be seen.
The bigger picture
This rollout fits the direction Zepp Health is taking with its newer watches. The company is putting more focus on recovery, daily load and training context.
Zepp OS 6 is the other thing to watch. Right now, it is only on the new Balance 3 and Balance Ultra. The big question is which older Amazfit watches get it next, because that will tell us how far Zepp Health is willing to stretch software support beyond the latest models.
