Before some days we wrote about the new Huami smartwatch or better the new Xiaomi AmazFit Smartwatch that was announced. The smartwatch is on the sale in China some days now, so many are the happy users. The only problem is that the app is in Chinese, only. Of course this is not a problem if you know Chinese. But since all Xiaomi gadgets can be found on the internet, the usage of others languages is something that the company should think of. So many buyers of the Amazfit Smartwatch where complaining at the official en.miui forum of Xiaomi for the lack of English language.
Here I come. I, except from writing here news and trends, I’m moderator at the Official Greek Xiaomi-miui forum and translator of all Xiaomi apps in Greek and English. Yesterday I was send the application and right away started the translation. Have to admit that wasn’t that easy, as I had some complications. But the result is more than satisfying. How ever is the owner of a AmazFit Smartwatch, now can download the app from the Official Greek Xiaomi-miui forum in Greek and English. The app is fully translated in english, so you won’t have problem using your smartwatch now. All you have to do is to become a member of the forum, which is multi-language, go to the thread I give in the end, answer it and the hidden link will appear. The app is at 1.0.2 and updates of the app will be shown there.
In the photos you may see some words wrongly written…in the file that you will download are corrected. If you still haven’t bought the Xiaomi AmazFit, you can preorder it from Gearbest. You can download AmazFit SmartWatch Application 1.0.3, which is the latest version right now and all following from here: http://goo.gl/rNs22f .

Will it be english patch for the watch itself
Only app. I don’t have access to smartwatch firmware.
I hope so….!
Hi,
That’s very good news indeed. When telling the app has been translated to English, do you mean the Android supporting app or do you also mean the display on the watch will now be in English ?
Thanks
The android app is fully translated to English. I don’t have the Amazfit, so cannot check if and the smartwatch shows everything in english
OK thanks, guess I’ll have to wait and see. As far as the application is concerned, could you please give a direct link to it ? On the forum you posted some text in English, but once I click on the “Application” link it’s all in greek so I cannot find my way to the correct download link. Thanks
Sorry, I cannot give you any direct link. In order to download the file, you must be a member of it. At the upper corner you can choose at what language you will be reading the forum. Since I translate and Mi Smart Home, all en users of the app come from en.miui to the Greek forum and download it with the same procedure. It is easy, just try a little bit.
Only the app supporting the Amazfit Smartwatch. The watch itself is still in chinese. I guess there will some firmware update adding the english language.
I have never owned a smart watch. I would love to have the chance too. these are really nice
Thanks for the english app, but the smartwatch still show messages in chinese. I have the smartwatch, but it’s a great improvement.
For this I cannot help. I noticed there was an update before 1-2 days, that I still haven’t found time to translate, but will do tomorrow probably that I have time
Does it has any issue when using outside china, heard that GPS function work only in CHINA
There is a user at the Greek Xiaomi-miui forum that has it. Hasn’t mention any problems except from that the firmware is in chinese.
Looks good
I replied…. But I see no link….
Where is the forum link
The link towards forum is at the end of the article
I have downloaded the file 1.5 and 1.4…can’t open it with my phone!!!
Hello. What you mean you cannot open it with your phone? The app works fine. What phone you have?
It works now. Thanks a lot for your work
Amazfit app 1.1.2 for iOS it is now supporting English natively. Is is already few weeks the watch gives correct weather informations for cities outside China…
Now waiting the watch firmware supporting English language, and everything will be perfect.
BTW, do you know how to retrieve GPS tracks from the watch?
For IOS I really don’t know. The company has said that will give english firmware sometime during 2017. I know that the latest version of mi fit supports now amazfit smartwatch.
Today, they reply with different answer. They say that the chinese version cannot be updated to english nor connect to strava app. Sigh!
Wait to be released and some workaround will be found. The same problem exists with the Yi camera with the night vision, but if you check at xiaomi-miui.gr we have a workaround and how to put english in it. Wait to see what they will release…
Thank u Sir! You really give us hope

Today amazfit has announced on twitter that the watch will be available in the USA and we can see a translated one in pictures…. Smell good

Hi there! Great job. very much appreciate this and your efforts sir. Thank you
Hi there. Im using Amazfit watch app – I can’t sync exercise data from my watch but fine with data of steps. Anyone here can help me? Already reset and resync using either bluetooth & wireless. Still the same. Please and ty.
Sorry i forgot, mifit and midong can’t receive any information regarding my records too due the failure when syncing. Loom forward and thanks.
Hello. Are all programs under the same mi account? What versions you have from each program? If you have the latest of mi fit, have you tried adding it as a device?
Hello, Unfortunately i have the same Problem. Midong doesn’t work. It syncs the data but there is marked that there is no running history yet… Mi fit just syncs the steps…
Hello, Unfortunately i have the same Problem. Midong doesn’t work. It syncs the data but there is marked that there is no running history yet… Mi fit just syncs the steps…
Try using latest version in Amazfit/Mi Fit and Mi Dong
Hi.
I have a little problem. I need to rebind my smartwatch. How can I do that?
Ty a lot
OK I have did it with the factory reset… Maybe not the best way but it works
If you check posts at Xiaomi-miui.gr, all users did this in order to work properly first time. Why needed….I don’t know.
Just another problem. I have a mi account, my amazfit app from mad doctor, mi fit and amazfit.. Ouf… All are connected on the same account… But they have different ID. And of course I can’t synchronize…
Really a lot of problems with this watch. I’m waiting mi décembre for a full English version… If it’s possible to go from Chinese to English… Otherwise I’m going to sell it and take the nice gear 3.ore expensive but at least it’s working…
Join the FB group. The watch is almost translated and the last amazfit watch app is in English too
Hello, I know that. There is a video on YouTube, which through adb commands can install an English translation of the menu. This is good, specially if Huami doesn’t plan to update the Chinese firmware with an English one.
