An Amazfit representative has confirmed the main differences between the upcoming Balance 2 XT and the recently released Balance 2 smartwatches. Responding to a customer question at a US retailer, the company listed a couple of features which would not be supported by the new model, which is expected to be a lighter option.<\/p>\n

Amazfit has confirmed<\/a> the key differences between the Balance 2 XT and standard Balance 2<\/a> smartwatches. It was rumored<\/a> that the XT version of this new smartwatch would be a premium option with a titanium casing. However, leaked pricing at Best Buy<\/a> appeared to contradict this theory.
<\/p>\n

Now, a representative for the Amazfit brand has explained the differences between the upcoming Balance 2 XT and the recently launched Balance 2. Responding to a customer question on the Best Buy product page<\/a>, it was confirmed that the new version would only offer 5 ATM water resistance and therefore would not support diving. Another missing feature will be the Golf app, and the sapphire glass will be replaced with a mineral alternative. The Balance 2 XT will be lighter than the Balance 2, which weighs 43 g (~1.5 oz), though this measurement has yet to be provided.
<\/p>\n

According to the Best Buy product listing, the Amazfit Balance 2 XT smartwatch will retail for $199.99, making it $100 cheaper than the standard Balance 2 smartwatch ($299.99 at Amazon<\/a>). As a reminder, the new XT variant of this wearable is expected to launch before the end of July 2025<\/a>. <\/p>\n
