The Short Version
Zepp Health updated the Amazfit Balance 2 with HYROX-specific tracking and hill-effort reading based on exertion, not raw pace.
Zepp Health is building the Amazfit Balance 2 around a real limitation: wrist sensors lose accuracy when you're dragging a sled or hoisting a sandbag, because the movement patterns don't match what the watch expects. HYROX, a race format combining running with eight functional workout stations, exposes exactly that weakness. The Balance 2 also reads hill effort by how hard your body is working, not by raw pace, which swings wildly on uneven ground. Together, those two changes target athletes who've outgrown basic fitness trackers but don't need a $600 triathlon watch.
