658mAh1Maker product pageus.amazfit.com/products/balance-2Read 30 September 2026

Claimed battery lifeiMaker endurance claims with distinct operating modes and case sizes. With solar describes augmentation of that estimate, not hardware capability. Use false for ordinary claims without solar augmentation, true for explicitly solar-aided claims, and omit it when solar qualification is unclear. Source notes state AOD, GNSS, music and solar conditions. Do not create a normal-use row from an AOD-only claim. Low power denotes the maker battery-saver mode. Keep its typical, light-use and always-on claims separate from standard-mode claims. GPS power saving identifies an intermediate reduced-accuracy GNSS saving preset. Source notes retain the maker's preset name and published conditions. Max battery GPS is the distinct maximum-saving claim. When the maker has only one GPS saving preset, it is GPS power saving.

Continuous GPS 24 hours records route with HR enabled. GPS/music 10 hours plays watch music to Bluetooth headphones. Power-saving GPS 76 hours disables health/background services, phone Bluetooth and screen wake. It is the only GPS saving preset the maker lists, so it is stored as GPS power saving. No unspecified all-system or dual-band mode is invented.

Power-saving GPS is the only GPS saving preset the maker lists, so it is stored as GPS power saving. Typical use uses raise-to-wake and 5-minute HR checks. Heavy use uses 1-minute HR, 30 minutes of GPS daily and additional sleep/stress monitoring.
