The Amazfit Active 2 smartwatch is receiving a substantial upgrade with the rollout of the new firmware version 6.3.8.3. This update introduces several eagerly anticipated features and performance enhancements, significantly improving the device’s functionality and user experience.
Key New Capabilities
A major highlight of this new software is the addition of Watch Screenshots. Users can now capture an image of their watch face or data screen by simply pressing both physical buttons on the device simultaneously.
For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, the update brings support for advanced Running Form metrics, including precise measurements for vertical oscillation and ground contact time. This valuable data can help runners analyze and improve their technique. Furthermore, a dedicated Ultra-marathon sports mode has been integrated for endurance athletes, alongside helpful jump rope reminders.
Enhanced User Experience and Controls
Several improvements have been made to the in-workout experience and device control. The update now displays different heart rate icons during exercise to clearly differentiate between the watch’s built-in sensor and an external Bluetooth heart rate device.
Navigating the watch during a workout is also smoother thanks to new features like automatic unlocking when raising your wrist during exercise and consistent button functionality whether the screen is active or not. The overall in-workout controls have been optimized, specifically the wrist-raise unlock feature and the responsiveness of the physical buttons.
Rollout Details
The software version 6.3.8.3 is currently being distributed to users of the Amazfit Active 2 (Round) smartwatch in specific regions, including the US, Canada, and China. The company shared a recent announcement on Discord, confirming that the new firmware is scheduled for a global rollout to all remaining users starting from October 10th.
