Timex e Huami are two leading companies in the field of watches. Not just any watches, but smartwatches. It was back in 2018 when we first heard about one collaboration between Amazfit and Timex for the production of latest generation smart watches; but from that moment on no news about the partnerships. Today, however, we have learned of a somewhat unusual fact concerning a new Timex smartwatch. The matter happened to a colleague from Engadget, who in reviewing the new one Timex metropolitan r saw the Amazfit logo on the dial!
If Amazfit also produced smartwatches for Timex? A rather curious fact tells us that it could be so. But will it be true?
Maybe the headline is a little too sensationalistic as we already know that Timex does not rely on Huami for the production of their wrist devices. The matter, however, is very strange. We describe it in detail but not before I reminded you that the11nd June, fra poco less than a week, we will know everything about the Mi Band 5, the new Huami product that we are waiting for.
Timex metropolitan r
What you see in the photograph is Timex's new smartwatch, the Metropolitan R. La resemblance to the Amazfit GTR is hallucinating and it is precisely for this reason that the doubt arose: what if Huami built smartwatches for the other company? To increase our suspicions is the matter that happened to Cherlynn Low di Engadget. In wearing this new smart watch that just came out he had the "unpleasant" surprise of find the Amazfit brand on the dial. A little confused, have you decided to scan the back of the sales box where there are QR codes for product recognition and guess what? The code referred to an internet page with url "api-watch.huami.com".

Attacked by the doubt that the company had wrong to send product or that there was one in place collaboration without everyone's knowledge, Cherlynn he contacted Timex who replied some time later saying that the version in his possession was a "pre-production" model. The final product will arrive, the brand assures, with the Timex logo as it should be.
Despite this clarification poco exhaustive to us the doubt remains: why Amazfit should have been written there on that Metropolitan R?
