Install Amazfit watch updates through the Zepp app while the watch is connected to its phone. The exact menu depends on the watch model: on the Bip 6, open Device > Amazfit Bip 6 > General > System Update > System Update. Before starting, charge the watch or ensure it has at least 10% battery, keep the phone screen on, and avoid using the phone during the upgrade.
Before you start an Amazfit update
- Connect the watch to the phone it is paired with and open the Zepp app. The update is managed through Zepp, though menu names and paths vary by watch model.
- Fully charge the watch if possible. Amazfit’s support guidance says the watch should be fully charged or have at least 10% battery remaining. Amazfit support: Why can’t I update the watch?
- Keep the phone screen on and do not perform other operations on the phone while the upgrade is in progress, as Amazfit advises in its support guidance.
Find and install the update in Zepp
Amazfit Bip 6
- Open Zepp on the phone connected to the watch.

Other Amazfit models
Do not assume the Bip 6 path applies to every Amazfit watch. For example, the GTS 2e manual documents the route as Profile > model > System Update. Amazfit GTS 2e User Manual In Zepp, select the exact model you own and use its matching manual if the labels or navigation differ.

How to check whether the update completed
After the installation, check the status shown on your model’s System Update screen in Zepp. Amazfit’s published materials establish how to reach update screens for the examples above, but do not establish one confirmation message or version-check path that applies to every model. Use the status and instructions for your specific watch; do not rely on a generic success message or version number.
