Equipped with the BioTracker 6.0 PPG sensor, the Balance 3 provides 24-hour monitoring of vital health metrics. The sensor array uses a 5PD + 2LED configuration to improve accuracy during vigorous movement. Users can track heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), stress levels, and skin temperature. The device also offers advanced sleep analysis, including REM stage tracking, sleep breathing quality, and Sleep HRV (Heart Rate Variability), which is a key indicator of recovery status. The PAI (Personal Activity Intelligence) health assessment system simplifies complex data into a single score to help users understand their overall physical condition.

The Balance 3 is optimized for hybrid training, featuring over 180 sports modes. It includes a specialized HYROX Race Mode, designed specifically for the requirements of functional fitness racing. For runners and cyclists, the watch provides advanced metrics such as VO₂ Max, lactate threshold, running power, and ground contact time. The Zepp Coach AI provides personalized training plans based on your current fitness level and fatigue, helping to prevent overtraining while maximizing gains.

Users can download offline maps, including topographic and contour maps, and utilize turn-by-turn navigation with automatic rerouting.
