Zepp Health Guarantees 2 Years of Amazfit Watch Support, With Some Models Reaching 3

3 articles · Updated · Boy Genius Report · Sep 2

Summary

  • Zepp Health says Amazfit smartwatches will receive at least two years of software support from a model’s first shipment, addressing concerns that lower-priced devices get shorter update windows.
  • Some devices run longer: the Amazfit Bip 6, launched in January 2025, is slated for updates until January 2027, while the Amazfit Balance, released in September 2023, is scheduled through December 2026.
  • Zepp also says select end-of-life devices could still get patches after support expires if a very serious security vulnerability emerges.
  • Support timelines are published on Amazfit’s security and end-of-life page and its software update roadmap, though the company says schedules and content can change without notice.
  • The policy suggests buyers can generally expect two to three years of security support, separate from hardware lifespan, which users say can range from months to about five years.
