Zip Health has launched a new software update number 3.4.0.3 for its Active Max smart watch of the Amazfit brand. This version comes to add a group of improvements and new features that enhance the user experience, especially after the success achieved by the watch since its official launch in December 2025, when it was distinguished by a bright 1.5-inch AMOLED screen, accurate monitoring of power levels, and 4 GB of storage space for playing music and saving maps.
The size of this new update is approximately 15.01 MB, and it provides qualitative additions that meet the needs of athletes and audio content lovers. Topping these additions is an application dedicated to playing podcast programs directly from the watch without the need to return to the smartphone, which is a very practical and useful feature that was recently available in the T-Rex 3 model, allowing users to listen to their favorite programs during long exercises with complete ease.
In addition to voice support, the software update brings two completely new sports modes to expand fitness tracking options. The update includes a hybrid training mode that combines different types of exercises in one session, in addition to a walking mode with a heavy backpack, which is known as Rucking. This diversity provides the watch with a greater ability to track complex physical activities and calculate calories and exerted effort with extreme accuracy that suits the nature of strenuous exercises.
The release notes accompanying the update included a clear reference to improving GPS performance in certain conditions and scenarios to ensure greater accuracy in tracking routes. The company also emphasized improving the general user experience while interacting with the sports activities interface, in addition to adding noticeable improvements related to battery consumption management, as a special improvement was made to the experience of using the watch when power levels reach very low limits.
This useful software package is complemented by a smart adjustment that addresses scrolling sensitivity when browsing long lists on the watch screen to ensure smooth and comfortable interaction. This update began to be rolled out gradually and in stages to users of the smart watch, which is currently available at a price of $169.99 through the Amazon platform. Once the update reaches your geographical area, you will be able to download and install it in simple and direct steps through the Zip application available on your smartphone to begin taking advantage of these new features.
