In short
Choose Amazfit Balance 3 for a 3,000-nit sapphire screen, 64GB of storage and 41 hours of accurate GPS, at $369.99–$449.99 in titanium or stainless steel. Its 658mAh battery lasts up to 21 days in typical use, and it adds 10 ATM, a red and white flashlight and Bluetooth calls. It needs iOS 17 on an iPhone, so owners of older models should look at the cheaper Balance 2.

Who it is for
- Runners and HYROX athletes who train with structure. Amazfit lists HYROX training templates, Track Run, lactate threshold, running power and Zepp Coach.
- People who want one watch for work and weekends: a titanium or stainless steel case, 10 ATM and a red and white flashlight.
Who should skip it
- Anyone after a smaller or tougher watch. T-Rex 3 Pro costs $399.99, comes in 44mm and 48mm, and its 48mm version outlasts Balance 3 at 25 days of typical use.
- Anyone who wants an ECG app. Amazfit doesn't list one for Balance 3.
- People invested in Garmin Connect, watchOS or Wear OS. Balance 3 runs Zepp OS and syncs to Amazfit's Zepp app.
What sets it apart
- A 1.5-inch, 480 × 480 AMOLED rated up to 3,000 nits, under a 44.8mm sapphire cover.
- 64GB of storage; Balance 2's capacity isn't given.
- 41 hours in Accuracy GPS mode and 84 in Power Saving mode.
- A choice of Grade 5 titanium (55 grams without the strap) or stainless steel (62 grams).
- MIL-STD-810G-2014 testing, according to Amazfit, plus a red and white flashlight.
Caveats
- The always-on display cuts the battery rating from 21 days to 7.
- Amazfit's MIL-STD-810G-2014 claim comes with its own warning against prolonged exposure to those conditions.

Balance 3 against T-Rex 3 Pro and Balance 2
Balance 3 is Amazfit’s current Balance, priced between the older Balance 2 and the titanium Balance Ultra flagship. At similar money, Amazfit also sells the rugged T-Rex 3 Pro for $399.99.
The Pro comes in 44mm and 48mm, and the 48mm’s 700mAh battery is rated at 25 days, against Balance 3’s 21 from 658mAh. The 44mm Pro gets 17 days from 500mAh. Balance 3 answers with 64GB of storage, a 41-hour Accuracy GPS rating and a choice of titanium or stainless steel.
Balance 2 costs less and still has sapphire, 10 ATM, dual-band GPS and the 21-day rating, but its screen is dimmer and its storage isn’t specified.
Screen and case
The 1.5-inch AMOLED is 480 × 480 pixels (323 ppi), sits under a 44.8 × 44.8mm sapphire cover and is rated up to 3,000 nits. By Amazfit’s industry-standard measure the case is 51.4mm across, and it’s 14.6mm thick including the heart-rate sensor, or 12.5mm without it. That’s a lot of watch on a small wrist. It comes in one size; the 22mm silicone strap covers 140–210mm wrists.
Battery and charging
| Mode | Balance 3 |
|---|---|
| Typical use | Up to 21 days |
| Heavy use | Up to 10 days |
| Always-on display | Up to 7 days |
| Accuracy GPS | Up to 41 hours |
| Power Saving GPS | Up to 84 hours |
Balance 2 has a battery of the same 658mAh capacity, but Balance 3 is rated for more GPS time from it. There’s no multi-day battery saver in Amazfit’s list; T-Rex 3’s runs to 40 days. It tops up on a magnetic charging head.
Training, health and extras
Beyond the HYROX templates and running tools, Amazfit lists 180+ sports modes and two of its own training-energy features, LifeLoad and HybridCharge.
Health tracking runs on BioTracker 6.0: round-the-clock heart rate with high and low alerts, blood oxygen and skin temperature. At night it tracks sleep stages (REM included), naps, breathing quality and HRV, then scores your sleep. Bluetooth calls go through the built-in mic and speaker, and the watch has 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Amazfit says it passed MIL-STD-810G-2014 testing, under report SUER260400046971.
Price
Prices on Amazfit’s US store ran from $369.99 to $449.99 on 19 September 2026, covering both materials without saying which costs more. Check the finish on the listing before you buy.
