Just like with
Zepp Life
, Zepp was developed for Amazfit devices under the same parent company Xiaomi. While the former was intended for Mi-branded wearables, this one is for
Amazfit devices
that were being offered by Huami. It supports various models from the
Sport
,
Essential
, and
Advanced
product lines.
A rebrand and visual revamp
The wearable fitness device industry was predominantly ruled by big-name brands like Apple, Samsung, and Fitbit. They offered pretty compelling user experiences and dependable health tracking, but their price tags leave a lot to be desired. Here then comes Amazfit devices made by Xiaomi subsidiary Huami, offering premium designs and similar performance for less money together with its comparable and newly rebranded companion app, Zepp.
Formerly known as Amazfit, Zepp allows you to manage all your Amazfit devices using a single application. You'll be able to pair it with the company's popular and stylish
GTR and GTS smartwatches
to the more rugged and utilitarian
T-Rex and Stratos
line. The UI has also received a nice revamp, with a more sleek and modern look, as well as better data visualizations.
Choose from its long list of supported exercises to
record your workouts
. It will then collect all the data and provide you with
visualized graphs and charts
to give you an idea of how you're doing health-wise. One area that needs more work, though, is how the app manages connections with devices. It would
often get disconnected
and interrupt certain functions like pushing out app notifications and alerts.
Form and function
In summary, Zepp is not just a simple rebrand of the former Amazfit app, but it also
improves
upon some key areas regarding the user interface and overall user experience. While the disconnection issues from previous iterations still persist, it's going in the right direction. If you own or plan to buy an Amazfit device, be glad to know its companion app is much better now.
