Almost all wearables receive automatic updates, so you don’t have to worry about updating them. However, the reality is that many times automatic updates fail, causing them to remain out of date without your knowledge. Luckily, if your watch is from the Amazfit brand, you can update it very easily from the Zepp app manually.
The procedure to follow is similar to updating a Xiaomi Mi Smart Band, since Amazfit smartwatches are from the manufacturer Huami , the same company that manufactures Xiaomi smart bracelets. The only thing you will need is an Android or iPhone mobile and an Internet connection. Let’s not waste any more time and see how an Amazfit wearable is updated.
