The Amazfit Falcon made waves back in 2022 as Zepp Health’s first true “luxury” adventure watch—a titanium-clad response to the Garmin Fenix and Apple Watch Ultra. However, as 2024 and 2025 came and went without a refresh, many wondered if the Falcon line had been grounded.
Recent leaks and regulatory filings now suggest that the Amazfit Falcon 2 is not just a rumor, but a centerpiece of Amazfit’s 2026 strategy. Here is everything we know about the potential release date and the features we hope to see.
Release Date: When is the Falcon 2 Coming?
Based on recent activity within the Zepp Health app code (which referenced a SUPPORT_BIND_FALCON2025 flag) and a new FCC filing for model A2564, the Falcon 2 appears to be in its final stages of development.

Earliest Window: Q2 or Q3 2026.

The Context: Zepp Health confirmed in their latest earnings call that they plan to launch around 9 to 10 new devices in 2026. While the original “2025” code snippet suggests the project may have faced internal delays, the appearance of a high-capacity 540mAh battery in recent regulatory docs strongly points to a premium “endurance” device launching sooner rather than later.
Expected Features & Wishlist
The original Falcon was praised for its build but criticized for lacking some “lifestyle” features found in cheaper Amazfit watches like the Balance. For the Falcon 2 to compete with the Garmin Fenix 8 or Apple Watch Ultra 3, here is what we expect:
1. 1.5-inch AMOLED with Higher Brightness
The original featured a 1.28-inch display. With the industry moving toward larger, nearly bezel-less screens, we expect the Falcon 2 to adopt a 1.5-inch AMOLED protected by Sapphire Crystal. A peak brightness of 2,000 to 3,000 nits is now the benchmark for outdoor readability.
2. Integrated Speaker and Microphone
One of the biggest complaints about the first Falcon was the lack of a speaker. For a watch that costs $500, being unable to take a quick call or hear voice coaching was a major oversight. We expect the Falcon 2 to include a waterproof speaker and mic, enabling Bluetooth calling and Zepp Flow AI voice commands.
3. Dual-Band GPS & “MaxTrack” Technology
Amazfit has made huge strides in GPS accuracy with their MaxTrack circularly-polarized antenna. Integrating this into a titanium unibody is a challenge, but the Falcon 2 needs to maintain its status as a top-tier multisport tool for hikers and trail runners.
4. Advanced Recovery & AI Coaching
We expect a deeper integration of the Zepp Coach and the new BioCharge metric (Amazfit’s version of Body Battery). Given the brand’s recent focus on “performance systems,” the Falcon 2 will likely debut new software features specifically for Lactate Threshold testing and Hyrox-specific tracking modes.
5. Extended Battery Life
The original Falcon offered 14 days of typical use. With a leaked battery capacity of 540mAh (up from 500mAh), the Falcon 2 could push toward 20 days of typical use or 30+ days in battery saver mode, making it a legitimate choice for multi-day expeditions.
The Competitive Landscape
In 2026, Amazfit is no longer just the “budget” alternative. With a rumored price point that could reach $550, the Falcon 2 is positioning itself as a flagship. It will need to balance its rugged 20 ATM water resistance with the software finesse of the Zepp OS 5.0 to convince Garmin loyalists to make the switch.
