Is the Amazfit Balance 3 worth it?

Buy the Amazfit Balance 3 now if it is the watch you want. No newer model is expected in the next three months, and among the watches we compare it leads on durability and water. If you want a smartwatch that can take a beating without looking like a tool, there is no reason to wait.

Who should get it

Get it if you want a tough, good-looking watch for everyday wear, workouts and weekends outside. It suits people who would rather not baby their watch. Check your phone first: it works with an Android phone, and with limits on an iPhone, where some features that need deeper phone access do not reach the watch.

Look elsewhere if the screen or health sensors decide it for you. Rivals lead on the display and on health sensors, and the Pixel Watch and Apple Watch are the stronger picks for health-first buyers on their own phones.

What you get

Amazfit builds the Balance as its all-round watch, with fitness tracking, sleep tracking and a battery that lasts days rather than one. It is the most durable watch in the group we compare, and its water rating is among the best. We do not yet have evidence we can compare across brands on running, battery life or GPS, so we do not rank it there.

Price and timing

Checked Nov. 4, 2026, the Amazfit Balance 3 costs $369.99. We started checking this price only in November, so we cannot call it a low yet, but nothing suggests it is about to fall. Only a newer model announced or reported inside the next three months would turn this answer to wait, and none is in view today.

A tough everyday watch at a fair price. Get it now.
