I've installed it but till now no differences. In the update of balance 3 yesterday they said it will come a new update 3.25.02 for the Helio. Maybe that's the reason.
Edit : disconnect and reconnect of the Helio Strap made a little change in the controlcenter and gave me a little notification. But not the whole changes like described in the app store
6.3.13.5 Version
it will come a new Helio strap update 3.25.02. for interactions on the Balance 3 with the Helio strap
I got the screen protector today and it's fit the display perfect. With the design of the protector the watch doesn't look any different.
Touch sensitivity it's slightly less and to slide on the protection feels a bit more blunt. Overall a really good choice.
On the amazfit web page for updates /August I've seen the point : added Helio strap controls on the watch.

After the update I didn't find anything in the update information sheet on the watch. And I can't find controls for the helio on the watch either? It seems no changes for Helio strap control. Did I miss anything?
I had to learn to use the 'good' hand. In Germany it wasn't normal to use the 'evil' (sinister) left hand. In the 80s it started to change. I had to write with the right hand in the first 2 school years (70s) and they thought I was dyslexic. Just to much pressure. My handwriting is awful and I'm still a bit insecure. Nobody showed how I can use my hand on the right way with a pencil or worse a fountain pen. Especially when people looks on my hand during writing. In the 90s I heard often from older people, how I can write with the left hand or please use the right hand. Also I'm still confused in some manner to use the left or right hand and I have to think first. But as a physiotherapist I got the advantage to be ambidextrous. All left-handers were retrained. At the beginning of the 20th century, even with wooden stock strikes on the hand.
Sinister is latin and means usually left
He is much more relaxed with his funny bone. No Stress with the surrounding anymore.
If you train regularly or preferably daily, you can see how intensively you have trained over time. Higher HR, more PAI converted. A stable value above a hundred says that you are actively contributing to your health and aging process.
What is PAI and how do you measure it? PAI is short for Personal Activity Intelligence. You earn PAI points every time your heart rate increases: The higher heart rate, the faster you earn PAI. Our research shows that those who achieve 100 PAI or more every week over time live on average eight years longer than others.
PAI is based on the only thing that reflects the intensity of your activity: your heart rate. Everything you need to do in order to use PAI is to measure your heart rate continuously.

No re sync of PAI and Balance 3. I use daily the balance 3 and the Helio strap alternate by situation. The Zepp app shows me for example today PAI 39 but in the balance 3 just 30. Pretty sure it never worked correctly. Anyone else got this problem? Cross sync of sleep, biocharge, HR, steps etc. are working.
6.2.104.6 update
A new feature wasn't mentioned before and in the beginning I was lost because I couldn't figure it out how to activate this feature. So here is the way how to activate it. Amazfit balance 2 has it already.
Amazfit Balance 3 can act as a Bluetooth speaker for your phone now.
Personally I think it's more a gimmick but hey...
To get the best accuracy of the measurement from watches and bands:
Accuracy depends of the fit on your wrist. Meaning: How good fits the tracker itself on your wrist or even better on the bicep. Best for a good measurement is no or less movement of the gadget so tighten and use the right strap. On your skin direct daylight can influences the optical sensor if it get light touched. Wrong or to big watchsize on your wrist can effects negatively. The form factor of the watch back is also decisive. Tighten up oft he muscle/tendons during workouts, the optical sensor has more problems to read the blood flow of the vessels. To much hair and maybe darker skin can have a negative effect to read the blood flow. The weight of the watch changes the accuracy. Lighter watch/band normally means a better measurement.
Best measurement is a HR belt sensor but the optical sensor is getting closer. Optical sensor on the bicep is the best optical sensor fit and the HR measurement is getting quite close to a belt.
Sleep tracking accuracy in the moment of all devices are more or less average because it use just the HR, HRV, blood flow and AI to interpret your sleep. This is at the end just a guideline to see over time how good is your sleep and the changes over days and weeks. To get an idea about Deep sleep. REM, light sleep and wake phases. At the moment Its more kind of a diary, feeding with average results. Your morning impression is much more important and is nice when the sleep tracking and your feeling is more or less the same.
The only way in the moment is a professional sleep tracking to use ur brainwaves and eye movements to get the best tracking result. Everything else will shows in the future, the technical development of smart gadgets, how good can track the sleep
Quantified scientist and other vids on YouTube is my source to get this conclusions.
The old balance 1 is on my spinning bike now and I use it there as a monitor together with the Helio strap on the bicep or a chest HR sensor. Zepp app take the Infos and merge it and the balance 3 get biocharge, PAI and calories syncronized.
I use the helio strap alone for sleep tracking or today at the beach for automatic activity like a walk on the beach and cycling to the beach and at home. I didn't swim just bathing. Balance 3 stayed at home today because of the fine aggressive sand. Zepp app take the Infos and merge it and the balance 3 get the sleep, biocharge, PAI and calories etc. syncronized.
Use of the Balance 3 and Helio strap bicep together for all other workouts.
Balance 3 alone in everyday life.
Maybe the Infos are a bit useful for some people.

Garmin HR Sensor Dual won't connect. I made a reset of the HR sensor without success. It was never a problem with the balance 1. Anyone has similar experience or any idea. Edit: found the clue. In the settings is the feature training accessories. I tried it first in the Helio app because in bluetooth settings isn't this point anymore.
I'm overall very satisfied with the balance 3. I will need a bit time to adapt the new OS 6 usability. Size is no problem. I like the design. It's interesting to feel the weight difference. 20 gr it sounds not much but I feel it definitely. Higher Brightness it's a big advantage compared to the balance 1. The expected fingerprint problem with saphirglass is just little.
Und Rudi Völler zeigt Müller Trainersachen. Nicht ganz ernst gemeint.
Weil sie gestern den schönsten Fußball gespielt haben und ich mag einfach schönen Fußball. Bis jetzt war ich mit Mpappe ambivalent eingestellt aber wie er mit seinem Trainer gestern gefeiert hat. Mit dem Zug zum Tor. Dann ist Olise so genial.. Bester Spieler für mich. Upemecano ist super dabei. Bin halt einfach auch Bayern Fan.
Dazu kommt noch das ich auf keinen Fall will das Argentinien am Ende oben steht. Schon seit 90 WM sind die Arschentinier in ihrer Art total daneben und das hat sich auch nicht geändert wie man wieder sieht. Für mich einfach sauunsympathisch.
Nur meine Meinung.
Found a YT vid today
Now I start to struggle. First of all it works flawlessly. Most important thing is that I got continues HR messurement 24h with biotracker 6. It seems that during workout the HR measurement is at least better than the watch and quite close to a HR belt. I used all the time for workout a Garmin HR belt and it seems the Helio is quite close even on the wrist. So my guess is based on my experience. Still I'm waiting for a bicep Band. I don't like the feeling of the HR belt on my chest and the belt slips all the time. My back has to much V form.
Why I'm struggle now, I ordered the new balance 3 steel on Amazon España and till now I'm waiting for a delivery date. The balance 3 is a nice to have thing. It looks really nice in my opinion and got some better features with ZeppOS 6. On the other side, with the Helio strap it's not really a must anymore because the combi balance 1 and Helio Is a real improvement for me. Now I'm a bit lost and I don't know if I should treat myself to it anyway. 🤔😵💫
Stitch It's with us for 4 years now. Was abandoned and weedsmoke addicted. In the beginning he didn't know how to behave as a dog. Pretty sure his first dog walk he had was with us 4 years ago. He was really lost during dogwalks but he learned a lot with the old lady (RIP). Interestingly, he is always kind with every dog, cat and people. People are always surprised that he has no typical chiwawa behavior. But I think that's a prejudice anyway. Or he just inhaled to much weedsmoke. Peace ☮️ I know this because when he smelled smoke he licked all the time the air.

It's seems there is not much difference between Helio strap 1 and the HR wrist sensor pro at the first glance. Maybe slightly bended. It's around 10 mm thinner. It has a bit less weight. Batterysize is the same. The sensors and Bluetooth are the same. New is, It has a geomagnetic sensor. The big change is the body sensor and I think, both are connected over Bluetooth together? Helio strap 1 might be not to have this possibility? Multi Bluetooth connection with watch or phone and both sensors at once?
Why this helio pro combo with hyrox together?
My thought: This is a stepping stone and marketing strategy. For both companies. Amazfit build a new ecosystem around professional sport in my opinion. It seems it's only the beginning with a new hipe. Pretty sure Garmin, whoop etc has some similar in the pipeline. The battles begin.
