Question 1

Is the Amazfit Balance 3 good for HYROX?

Accepted Answer

It is the best HYROX watch you can buy, because Amazfit is the only maker currently building for the event. The watch ships the official HYROX workout modes, the Zepp app carries HYROX Training templates, and each session is broken down station by station with a HybridCharge recovery score that accounts for muscular strain. No current Garmin or Coros platform matches this.

Question 2

Should I buy the Amazfit Balance 3 or the cheaper Balance 2?

Accepted Answer

Buy the Balance 3 if you train for HYROX or hybrid events, because the HYROX modes, HybridCharge, metal build and brighter screen are the reasons it costs £70 more. Buy the Balance 2 if you do not, because it is cheaper and runs the same coaching platform.

Question 3

How does the Amazfit Balance 3 compare to Garmin?

Accepted Answer

A feature-comparable Garmin Fenix 8 has a deeper coaching ecosystem and years of software behind it. The Balance 3&#8217;s advantage is HYROX: it is the only watch with official HYROX modes and a hybrid recovery score. If proven all-round performance decides it, choose Garmin. If you race HYROX, choose the Balance 3.

Question 4

Is the HYROX strap included with the Amazfit Balance 3?

Accepted Answer

No. The HYROX-edition strap is a separate purchase. The watch ships with a standard silicone strap.
