Amazfit Confirms Falcon 2 Leak as Brand Eyes Garmin's Crown

Falcon 2 surfaces in app code — but the trail has gone cold

Amazfit's next premium multi-sport watch appears to be in development, after code hidden inside the Zepp Health Android app pointed to a successor to the original Amazfit Falcon. The string SUPPORT_BIND_FALCON2025, discovered during a dig through app version 10.0.8 in March 2026, is the clearest public evidence yet that a Falcon 2 is real. A separate regulatory filing under model number A2564, referencing a 540 mAh battery — up from 500 mAh on the current model — adds a small but concrete hardware detail.

The "2025" suffix in that code string is telling. It suggests the device may have originally been earmarked for a launch last year before the project slipped. That reading is consistent with the fact that no new Falcon 2 evidence has surfaced since April 2026, and pricing remains unconfirmed.

The original Amazfit Falcon, launched in 2022, remains the brand's halo multi-sport watch: titanium unibody, sapphire glass, dual-band GPS, and 20 ATM water resistance, currently priced at $429.99. It competes directly with the entry tier of the Garmin Fenix range. The problem is that while the T-Rex and Cheetah lines have been refreshed repeatedly, the Falcon has now stood still for over three years.

The T-Rex Dual Solar is now the stronger story

Whatever the Falcon 2's eventual fate, a different device has quietly overtaken it as the most credible candidate for Amazfit's next launch. The T-Rex Dual Solar has cleared five separate regulatory bodies — Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, the Eurasian Economic Union, and the US FCC — all under model number A2570. Malaysia's SIRIM database approved the filing on 3 August 2026 and named the device outright. The FCC followed on 12 August 2026, confirming Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and likely dual-frequency GNSS.

Zepp Health appears to be building a complete solar ecosystem around it: two solar panels, individual charging measurements per panel, a dedicated Solar Boost Mode, and temperature management. No launch date has been confirmed, and full pricing and specifications remain unknown.

Where the 2026 line-up stands

Zepp Health's chief financial officer Leon Deng estimated on the company's Q4 2025 earnings call that around nine Amazfit products would launch in 2026. Sources subsequently cited by specialist tracker the5krunner.com put the figure at ten or more. The confirmed launches so far are:

• Amazfit T-Rex Ultra 2 — February 2026, grade 5 titanium, $550
• Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro — April 2026, marathon and road running
• Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra — April 2026, trail and mountain running
• Amazfit Bip Max — May 2026, entry-level, sub-$100
• Amazfit Balance 3 — June 2026, from £369.90 in the UK
• Amazfit Balance Ultra — June 2026, £599.90 in the UK, titanium only
• Amazfit Helio Strap 2 and Helio Ring 2 — confirmed, full feature sets not yet known

That brings the confirmed total to nine. At least one further launch is needed to clear the ten-or-more bar, and the Q2 investor call confirmed one or two more products are planned before the year is out.

Software catching up with the hardware

Alongside the new devices, Amazfit has pushed a substantial software update across its existing fleet. The Zepp app replaced its BioCharge and Readiness scores with a new metric called HybridCharge — a 0–100 daily energy score that adds subjective self-reported feelings to the biometric data the watch already captures. An Amazfit representative confirmed that ten existing smartwatches would receive HybridCharge, with the Active 3 Premium, Balance 2, Cheetah 2 Pro, Cheetah 2 Ultra, T-Rex 3, T-Rex 3 Pro, and T-Rex Ultra 2 already on the confirmed rollout list.

The Balance 3 and Balance Ultra also launched as the first devices running Zepp OS 6, which Zepp Health confirmed will eventually reach ten more existing watches. Stryd integration — real-time indoor pace from the popular running power metre — is live on the T-Rex 3 Pro and T-Rex 3, with further Amazfit devices to follow. The Cheetah 2 Ultra received a full structured HYROX suite alongside its first official Zepp OS 6 build.

On subscriptions, Deng was direct with investors: there are no plans to charge for core features. Training, recovery, and HYROX tools all remain free, even as sleep and stress subscription options already exist in the Zepp app.

The engineering challenge no one is hiding

Zepp Health's push upmarket has not been entirely smooth. Wang Huang told analysts that combining premium materials with a reliable antenna delivering excellent GPS performance is an engineering problem the company is still working through. CFO Leon Deng went further, admitting that the Balance 3's titanium and steel builds have proved difficult to manufacture at scale. Independent testing of the Balance 3 found GPS accuracy at 77 per cent, down from 85 per cent on the Balance 2 — a regression attributed to the new case and antenna design. If the Falcon 2 is to arrive as a serious Fenix rival, those are the numbers that will need to improve first.
