How to use Amazfit Neo Smartwatch?
Using the Amazfit Neo smartwatch is fairly simple. Once paired you just need to wear it on your wrist and you are good to go. By default, you are supposed to wear it on your left hand’s wrist, but if you prefer the right hand, you have to change its watch/band position to the right hand within the companion app for accurate measurement.
On the watch, you will find 4 labeled buttons (2 on each side); Select, Back, Up, and Down. Every time you press a button, you will get a beep sound as feedback. (Which you can turn off from the Zepp companion app)
Use the Up and Down buttons to switch between the smartwatch features, each feature has its unique icon so that you don’t get confused. While on the right side of the feature icon, you will see its value. (Say while measuring heart rate it will show the heart rate value in BPM) You can always add, remove, and reposition these features within the companion app as per your need. Features like toggling DND ON/OFF and Stopwatch can be controlled directly on the watch. Simply switch to either of the features using the Up or Down button and press the ‘Select‘ button once. (In the case of Stopwatch, switch to Stopwatch and press the ‘Select‘ button to start the stopwatch timer. Press the Select button again to pause the timer and press the ‘Back‘ button to reset it.)
Long pressing the ‘Back‘ button will turn on the backlight, while long pressing the ‘Select‘ button will toggle switch on/off. While on the back, stays your HR sensors, a tiny hole for the speaker, and charging pins.
The watch itself is more than enough to give you some basic insights into your daily fitness. But for getting a detailed analysis of your fitness data and enabling certain features, you will have to use Zepp (formerly Amazfit) companion app. Have a look at all the best features of the Amazfit Neo Smartwatch!

Do I need to keep the Zepp app in the background?
Yes, just like other fitness bands, Amazfit Neo relies mostly on its app Zepp, which you can download from PlayStore. Zepp serves as its companion app that lets you control most of the settings within the Amazfit Neo, hence it is needed to use most of the features such as Incoming call alerts, App alerts, and to check the stats. However, if you are planning to use it just as a digital watch with its fitness and health-oriented features, you don’t have to keep the app running and the smartwatch connected to your smartphone 24/7. In that case, you can connect the watch once a week to allow the watch to sync its collected with the Zepp companion app and show you an extensive analysis of your health and fitness data.
Why does the Zepp app require so many permissions?
Each permission serves a purpose within the Zepp companions app, which is essential to run a few functions. If you are not using those features/functions of the Amazfit Neo Smartwatch band, then you can keep those permissions disabled. Like, to get call notifications, you will have to give call log permission.
