Active Max August Update: Smarter Training, Clearer Pacing, and More Connected Workouts

The latest software update for Amazfit Active Max brings meaningful improvements across training, HYROX preparation, pool swimming, rowing, and map management. Together, these updates help you train with more structure, pace with more intention, and keep your workout data more organized.
 

Zepp Training: Courses and Plans on Your Wrist
Your training now lives on the watch. This update adds support for Zepp training courses, Zepp training plans, and the training calendar, so you can follow structured sessions and keep every workout organized directly on Active Max.

HYROX Virtual Pace: Build Your Race Plan
HYROX Virtual Pace helps athletes build race plans and monitor pacing against target times. Based on your target completion time, it generates segmented strategy times for each stage, giving you a clearer pacing reference for HYROX races.

Pool Swimming: Manual Rest, Clearer Splits
The Pool Swimming algorithm has been upgraded with support for Manual Rest. When enabled, rest data is added, and your workout details are clearly divided into swimming and rest segments. Swimming segments are further categorized by stroke, giving you a clearer training structure.

Rowing Machine now supports connections to external devices. It can connect to third-party rowing machines compliant with the FTMS protocol — such as the Concept2 RowErg — to display real-time data including power and distance. Distance calibration supports switching between metric and imperial units.

Map Download Management: Keep Maps Organized
This update adds Map Download Management, giving you more control over your downloaded map resources. You can now delete maps, resume interrupted downloads, update existing maps, and manage related download tasks more conveniently — keeping your maps organized and ready for outdoor use.
