One of the most interesting features of the smartwatches is the high customization thanks to watchfaces. These can be installed natively or also thanks to third-party applications and allow you to have an accessory on your wrist that can be adapted to every need. There are also those who buy a smart watch to use dials with hands, to remember the good old days. In any case these dials for Amazfit they have been free but in the future they will also be paid. To find out is the team of AndroidTR who, analyzing the code of the app of the same name, discovered some interesting strings.
The watchfaces of the Amazfit smartwatches will also be paid: GTR, GTS, Ares and Stratos will be able to count on "more premium" dials
For those who are not yet experts in the sector, remember that Amazfit is not a company but a product of Huami, well-known Chinese leader in the field of wearable products. In this regard, we remind you that next June 11, in a few days, the Mi Band 5: the queen of smartbands that promises Global NFC, SP02 and many other features attesissime. Going back to the main news, the Spanish colleagues analyzed the homonymous application, "Competitor" of Mi Fit, and have discovered lines of code that confirm the presence of paid watchfaces.
At the top of the screenshot we see the wording “watch_skin_free"While scrolling down we find"watch_skin_price"and "watch_skin_price_buy". This leaves room for few interpretations: in the future, the company's smartwatches Amazfit GTS, GTR, Ares, Stratos 3 and so on they will be able to count on their own store to buy premium watch faces. Clearly ONLY the paid ones will not be available but as for MIUI Themes app you can take advantage of both free and non-free ones. It is also not excluded that some of these will be downloadable in any case free of charge through the display of a advertising banner as well as for the themes.
This choice was certainly made to have more revenue and therefore a greater amount of money to invest for research and development. We recall in this regard that Huami is super committed to research in the health sector and also in that of neuroscience.
