Amazfit Zepp OS6 Introduces Multi-Device Activity Sync, Rivaling Garmin's TrueUp
By

Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Amazfit has introduced Multi-Device Activity Sync with Zepp OS6, available on the Balance 3 and Balance Ultra watches. The feature merges daily activity data (steps, calories, standing) across multiple devices via the Zepp app, similar to what Garmin's TrueUp feature has done since 2016. While Amazfit is taking its first step into multi-device sync, the article questions whether workout load syncing will follow. The update is mostly a consolidation of recent additions rather than a major innovation.
