Zepp OS 6 lands on the Amazfit Active Max right on schedule

Zepp OS 6 has started rolling out to the Amazfit Active Max, right on the August schedule Zepp Health outlined earlier this year. The update brings new training features to the watch, although the interface itself appears to remain largely unchanged.

Zepp OS 6 rollout continues

Earlier this month, the Active 3 Premium received its Zepp OS 6 update. That release brought additional workout features including FTMS rowing support, manual rest for swimming, permanent touchscreen locking during workouts and map improvements.

Zepp OS 6 itself introduces a wider collection of changes, including Multi-Device Activity Sync, an expanded Daily Briefing and more tools for structured training. Not every feature necessarily reaches every watch, so the exact Active Max package may differ from newer devices that shipped with Zepp OS 6 from day one.

The upgrade continues a steady stream of additions for the Active Max since its launch. Previous updates have already expanded its training capabilities, including the arrival of lactate threshold tracking.

The Active Max was already a well-equipped watch for its price, with a 1.5-inch AMOLED display, offline maps, onboard storage and more than 170 sports modes. As we found in our review, battery life and the overall fitness package are among its stronger points.

Zepp OS 6 does not completely transform that formula. Instead, it brings the software underneath it up to date and adds some of the training tools Zepp Health has been introducing across its newer lineup.

Training Library arrives on Active Max

Another addition, this time around, is something called Training Library. It appears near the top of the workout section. This gives users easier access to structured training content directly from the watch rather than relying as heavily on the Zepp app.

Training Library is part of Zepp Health’s broader push towards more structured training in Zepp OS 6. The platform also supports Training Calendar and improved handling of planned workouts, bringing Amazfit’s software closer to the approach used on its newer watches.

Don’t expect the Active Max to suddenly look like a completely different device, though. The basic navigation remains familiar, including the existing swipe gestures and functions assigned to its two physical buttons.

As usual, the firmware appears to be rolling out in stages. So if Zepp OS 6 has not appeared on your Active Max yet, that does not necessarily mean anything is wrong. With the rollout now underway, availability should broaden from here.
