Amazfit Raises the Bar with the New Balance 3 and Balance Ultra
Amazfit’s latest smartwatches bring together advanced tracking and recovery insights to help athletes train smarter
13 Jul 2026 - 5 days ago
For runners balancing training, work and everyday life, the challenge is often not a lack of motivation, but the lack of clarity. How hard should I push today? When should I recover? And how do I maintain consistency over the long term?
Amazfit’s latest performance smartwatches, the Balance 3 and Balance Ultra, aim to answer those questions by bringing structured training, recovery insights and premium hardware into a single ecosystem. Designed around the brand’s philosophy of “training with structure”, both watches cater to athletes who want a complete view of performance beyond just pace and mileage.
Smarter Training Through Energy Intelligence
At the heart of both devices is HybridCharge™ Energy Intelligence, a system that combines training load, recovery status, stress levels and daily activity data to provide a clearer picture of overall readiness. Rather than just tracking workouts, the watches help users understand how training fits into the bigger picture of their lives, enabling smarter decisions on when to push harder and when to take it easy.
The system works alongside Amazfit’s suite of health and recovery tools, giving users actionable insights that can help optimise performance while reducing the risk of overtraining.
Built for Runners and Hybrid Athletes
For runners, there is no shortage of performance-focused features. Both models offer advanced metrics such as VO₂ max, lactate threshold, training load, training effect and ground contact time, as well as support for more than 180 sports modes.
Athletes can also access dedicated HYROX training plans, race simulations and post-race analytics, making the watches suitable not only for runners but also for those pursuing a broader mix of endurance and strength-based training.
Confident Navigation on Every Route
Navigation capabilities have also received significant attention. Equipped with dual-band GPS and support for six satellite positioning systems, the watches are designed to deliver accurate tracking even in difficult and remote environments.
Offline maps, turn-by-turn navigation, route planning and automatic rerouting provide added confidence during long runs, trail adventures and unfamiliar routes, allowing users to stay focused on their performance rather than their directions.
Balance 3: Everyday Performance
The Balance 3 serves as the more accessible entry point to the range, yet it remains impressively equipped. A vibrant 1.5-inch AMOLED display protected by sapphire glass delivers up to 3,000 nits of brightness, ensuring visibility even under harsh sunlight.
Battery life extends to up to 21 days under typical use, while Amazfit’s BioTracker 6.0 sensor suite powers comprehensive health, fitness and recovery monitoring throughout the day.
Balance Ultra: Engineered for Endurance
If you are looking for something a little more premium, look no further than the Balance Ultra. This impressive smartwatch is constructed from Grade 5 titanium and sapphire crystal and built to withstand demanding training environments while remaining remarkably lightweight on the wrist.
The flagship model pushes battery performance even further, offering up to 30 days of typical usage and up to 50 hours of GPS tracking. These capabilities make it particularly appealing for endurance athletes, ultrarunners and outdoor adventurers who spend extended periods away from charging points.
Supporting Sustainable Progress
Whether you choose the Balance 3 or the flagship Balance Ultra, Amazfit’s latest wearables reflect a growing shift in sports technology: moving beyond simply collecting data to helping athletes make better decisions.
For runners seeking a smartwatch that supports not just performance, but long-term consistency and sustainable progress, the Balance series presents a compelling new option.
Amazfit Balance Ultra retails at S$809 at all authorize stores.

Building Confidence Through HYROX: Stephanie Shabanov-Leong
HYROX Pro athlete Stephanie Shabanov-Leong believes the journey matters more than the finish line, and that training smarter is the key to long-term progress.
7 Jul 2026 - 2 weeks ago
Long before she discovered HYROX, Stephanie Shabanov-Leong found confidence through sport. A former 400m sprinter who competed from the age of nine, she later developed a passion for boutique fitness while living in New York, before embracing cycling during a stint in Hamburg.
Back in Singapore, she spent a decade balancing corporate roles with coaching before deciding in early 2026 to leave the corporate world and pursue coaching full-time.
"When I discovered HYROX, it felt like the perfect intersection of every stage of my journey," she says. "The running foundation from track and field, the functional fitness I discovered in New York, the endurance mindset I developed through cycling and my passion for coaching and community."
Since making the transition to HYROX, Shabanov-Leong has established herself as one of Singapore's leading athletes in the sport. Competing across the Pro, doubles and relay divisions, she has amassed multiple podium finishes and top-10 results at events around the world.
Today, the HYROX Pro athlete and coach is also an Amazfit ambassador, using the brand's wearables to guide both training and recovery. For Shabanov-Leong, the appeal goes beyond chasing podium finishes.
"If I can help someone discover confidence in themselves through movement, that's a win far bigger than any podium finish."
Up close and personal with Stephanie
RUNSG: What keeps you motivated in HYROX?
Stephanie: Crossing the finish line is rewarding, but for me, the real achievement is becoming someone you're proud of throughout the journey. That's what keeps me motivated. I often joke that HYROX is therapy—except instead of talking about your problems, you're pushing a heavy sled while your friends cheer you on.
RUNSG: What does a typical week look like for you?
Stephanie: A typical week includes three to four runs, two to three strength sessions and one or two HYROX-specific workouts. I'm a big believer that the goal isn't to train the hardest—it's to train consistently.
RUNSG: What's the biggest lesson HYROX has taught you?
Stephanie: Consistency beats intensity and patience beats ego. Progress isn't always linear. Success rarely comes from one perfect session or race—it comes from showing up, doing the work and trusting the process.
RUNSG: How does Amazfit support your training?
Stephanie: HYROX training involves balancing high-intensity efforts with recovery, and the watch helps me make data-driven decisions rather than relying purely on motivation. I track training load, heart rate trends, sleep quality and recovery metrics to understand how my body is responding.
As someone who genuinely loves training hard, my watch is often the voice of reason.
RUNSG: How do you use the watch on race day?
Stephanie: I primarily use the HYROX Race Mode. Amazfit is currently the only smartwatch brand with an official HYROX Race Mode. It helps me monitor pacing and heart rate and prevents me from going out too hard early. It's also incredibly helpful to keep track of which station I'm going to next.
RUNSG: What advice would you give first-time HYROX athletes?
Stephanie: Sign up before you feel ready. Confidence doesn't come before action—it comes from taking action. Focus on consistency, respect the running and remember that everyone looks slightly confused during their first wall balls.
Most importantly, enjoy the process. The finish line lasts a few seconds, but the person you become during training stays with you much longer.
RUNSG: Do you think Amazfit is a good choice for athletes of all levels?
Stephanie: Definitely. I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that you need to be an elite athlete to benefit from all this data. In reality, it’s probably even more useful when you’re just starting out because it helps take the guesswork out of training.
I use my Amazfit Active 3 Premium every single day. I look at my Training Load, Recovery Time, Readiness, VO₂ Max, heart rate zones and sleep tracking to decide what my body actually needs—not just what my ego wants to do.
I’m the type of person who would happily train hard seven days a week! My watch is usually the one saying, “Steph… maybe not today.”
I also travel almost every other weekend for races, so the battery life, offline maps and multi-band GPS have been amazing. I don’t have to worry about charging it every day or getting lost trying to find a running route in a new city—which, knowing me, would absolutely happen.
Whether you’re training for your first 5K or HYROX, it’s a watch that grows with you. The more you learn about your body, the better your training becomes.
RUNSG: How do you hope to inspire others as an Amazfit Ambassador?
Stephanie: More than anything, I want people—especially women—to realise they’re capable of so much more than they think.
I spent years thinking I had to choose between having a career, coaching, competing and looking after myself. The truth is, none of us are trying to be perfect. We’re just trying to become a little stronger than we were yesterday.
As a coach, I’m probably most excited when someone runs their first kilometre without stopping, or signs up for a race they never thought they’d be brave enough to enter.
If my journey encourages even one woman to think, “Maybe I can do that too,” then that’s incredibly meaningful to me.
I also want to show that training smarter isn’t about doing less—it’s about doing the right things at the right time. My Amazfit Active 3 Premium helps me make those decisions every day. Sometimes it gives me the confidence to push harder, and sometimes it reminds me that recovery isn’t being lazy—it’s part of becoming stronger!
