Amazfit Balance 2 owners are receiving a significant software enhancement that makes their smartwatch more responsive and capable than ever. The latest update, version 3.35.0.5, not only introduces a dedicated Rucking mode but also unlocks Zepp Flow v2.2.0—a powerful update to the voice assistant that brings new levels of hands-free control.
This dual-layered update underscores Amazfit's commitment to refining the user experience on its premium Balance 2 model, blending new fitness tracking options with smarter daily convenience features.
What’s New in Zepp Flow v2.2.0?
The headline act is the upgraded Zepp Flow voice assistant. Users can now accomplish more with simple voice commands, reducing the need to navigate tiny touchscreens mid-activity. Key improvements include:
- Compound Voice Commands: Start a workout and set a goal or reminder in a single sentence. Think: “Start an outdoor run and set a 5 km goal.”
- Template Training Access: Find and begin a pre-saved training template directly by voice.
- Podcast Playback Control: Manage your podcast listening without touching your phone or watch.
- Multiple Countdown Timers: A highly-requested feature for interval training or kitchen use—you can now create and manage several timers at once.
- BioCharge History Access: Ask Zepp Flow to show your BioCharge (the watch’s energy metric) history for quick insights into your body's readiness.
- Polish Language Support: The assistant now fully understands and responds in Polish, expanding its global accessibility.
For a device focused on holistic health management, the ability to quickly vocalize “show my BioCharge history” aligns perfectly with the Balance 2’s wellness-centric design philosophy.
The Foundation: Software Update 3.35.0.5
To access the new Zepp Flow, your Amazfit Balance 2 must first be updated to software version 3.35.0.5. This foundational update also brings its own standout feature: a dedicated Rucking mode.
For the uninitiated, rucking—walking with a weighted backpack—has surged in popularity as a low-impact, high-benefit exercise. This new mode will track the specific metrics and strain of rucking, giving enthusiasts proper data for their sessions. The update also includes further optimizations related to the BioCharge system.

Availability and How to Get It
The update is currently rolling out globally to the Amazfit Balance 2 in phases. If you haven’t received a notification, you can manually check by going to Zepp App > Profile > Amazfit Balance 2 > System Updates.
As of now, it appears this specific Zepp Flow v2.2.0 upgrade is exclusive to the Balance 2 model. There’s no official word from Amazfit on if or when these assistant features will trickle down to other wearables in their portfolio, like the Cheetah or T-Rex series.
