Briefly
Zepp Health has released three new mini-apps for Amazfit smartwatches. They are already available in the Mini App Store within the Zepp app and are compatible with many current models, including the Amazfit T‑Rex 3.
What's new
Heart Trace — a tool for real‑time heart rate monitoring. The app ranks second in the Zepp OS Weekly Top 50 Downloaded Apps Chart, indicating user interest in health features on devices.
Mini 8‑Ball — a simple billiards game against AI right on the watch screen: the shot direction is adjusted by rotating the crown, and the power is set by touch. It demonstrates how the watch interface is becoming more interactive without involving a smartphone.
Quick Math — a speed‑thinking workout: solving problems within a time limit with a final score. This format is useful for developing quick thinking when you only have your watch at hand.
Why it matters
These mini-apps demonstrate two trends: first, wearable devices are getting closer to the body and turning into tools for health monitoring; second, watches are gaining short "micro‑experiences" — games and exercises that take a few minutes and don't require a smartphone. For people with busy schedules or those who are often on the move (including in places with limited network access), this is a real practical benefit.
"We strive to make the on‑wrist user experience more convenient — from health monitoring to quick entertainment without extra smartphone steps"
— Zepp Health, press release
Availability and compatibility
All mini-apps can be downloaded via the Zepp app: Profile → App Store, select your device and install. Zepp separately reports that some Amazfit gadgets will receive the latest updates in 2026. It is also noteworthy that the Amazfit T‑Rex 3 Pro has appeared in Europe in a new color at a price of about €400 — a sign that the brand continues to expand its market presence.
Conclusion
The new Zepp update is an example of the smartwatch's evolution from a "smartphone accessory" to an autonomous tool for health and short tasks. For users, this means more useful functions on the wrist; for the market, it signals growing demand for on‑device services. Whether this will be enough for the brand to cement its leadership in the compact mini‑app segment remains a question for future updates and user reactions.
