The Amazfit Active 2 smartwatch is receiving a new firmware update, version 6.012.3, which has begun rolling out to users. The update introduces several changes and improvements, as discussed by Amazfit Active 2 owners on Reddit. According to the update’s changelog, four main features are being introduced or improved:
- A more intelligent Readiness Score algorithm that places a greater emphasis on sleep quality.
- A brighter Always-On Display (AOD) for improved visibility.
- Clearer and better-presented notification pop-ups during workout sessions.
- A new dedicated meditation app for guided exercises.
Early user reactions to the update have been mixed. Some Redditors have reported a significant improvement in step-counting accuracy, with one user claiming their watch previously undercounted steps by up to 30%, an issue that appears to be resolved post-update. However, others have mentioned ongoing issues with step tracking, losing around 20% of their daily steps.
The changes to the Readiness Score algorithm have been a point of interest for many users. While some have expressed hope that the update will make the score more sensitive to sleep quality, addressing a common complaint, others have noted that more time is needed to evaluate the impact of these changes. Initial reports suggest that physical recovery scores may be lower, but overall scores remain relatively high. Feedback on the brighter AOD, improved notifications, and the new meditation app have been limited in the early discussions, as users likely require more time to assess these features.
As with most firmware updates, it may take several days for the update to reach all Amazfit Active 2 devices.
