Chinese headquarters
[edit]I think they are headquartered in China. Why is that not mentioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aussiewikilady (talk • contribs) 21:18, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- Mentioned that the headquarters is in Hefei in the panel that describes the company.
- No reason to add an extra section titled "Chinese headquarters".
- There is no such section for Google, Apple etc that say "American headquarters". 67.169.53.23 (talk) 15:33, 24 August 2025 (UTC)

Change the section Zepp Pay from "The availability of NFC may vary by country and region. Please see below for a list of countries or regions and banks that support cashless payments for each Amazfit wearable product. Supported devices: Amazfit Balance." to "The availability of NFC may vary by country and region." This is because 1. The section of the article mentioned is right below, so you don't need to say "keep reading" 2. there is no source saying that the Amazfit Balance is the only device that can use this feature.

Edit Request
[edit]This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
I'd like to correct and update this article but it is page protected. Can someone with rights help me?
1) The headquarters location is wrong. The Marketwatch site says it's AI generated. It's out of date. Here's the correct headquarters info with a more updated source.
| − |
hq_location_city = | + |
hq_location_city = [[Gorinchem, Netherlands]]<ref>https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/ZEPP</ref> |
I had to put in nowiki tags to force it to display correctly, but you can cut and paste the code within the tags.
2) The current lead is incorrect about the HQ location, it's too wordy and contains trivial information including puffery. I'd like to propose a new simplified, more accurate version. Per MOS:LEADCITE, there are no sources since it's a summary of information that's in the article. The previous request sources the headquarters location.
| − | '''Amazfit''' is a | + | '''Amazfit''' is a brand of smartwatches and fitness trackers developed by Netherlands-based Zepp Health. The company's first smartwatch was introduced in 2016. |
Done agree that the proposed version is better. STEMinfo (talk) 20:54, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
3) I'd like to rephrase the history section for readability, and replace the dead bgr.in source. This is a proposal for revising the first paragraph.
| − | In | + | In August 2016, Zepp Health predecessor Huami, a spinoff from Chinese multinational electronics company [[Xiaomi]], introduced the first Amazfit smartwatch. In April 2017, Huami launched the Amazfit Health Band. |
The second paragraph can be replaced with better, less promotional phrasing about a trade show, and to add a product introduction and Huami's purchase of Zepp Health:
| − | + | In 2018, the company began selling its Amazfit Bip, a budget smartwatch. In September 2018, [[EE Times]] reported that Huami claimed to have developed the world’s first RISC-V–based AI-powered wearable chipset, the Huangshan-1 AI chip. In July 2018, Huami announced it bought San Jose, California sensor technology company Zepp International Ltd. In September 2018, the company announced its Amazfit Verge smartwatch, and a new fitness band in China called the Amazfit Health Band 1S. |
The April 2020 section can be simplified and a source can be removed, per WP:OVERCITE:
| − | In April 2020, | + | In April 2020, Huami partnered with a laboratory led by [[Zhong Nanshan]] to use wearable devices to track activity for survivors of [[respiratory diseases]]. |
4) Please add the two items to history, chronologically:
and
5) Please update the Zepp Pay section to remove the unnecessary list of countries, per WP:NOTDIR. The list can be summarized as follows:
| − | Zepp Pay is an NFC cashless payment service supported by Amazfit wearable products | + | Zepp Pay is an NFC cashless payment service supported by Amazfit wearable products. The company lists 33 European countries that issue cards that can be used with Zepp Pay. |
6) I'd like to start a short Zepp Health section at the bottom about the company, which would be the info summarized in the new revised lead.
Zepp Health
[edit]Amazfit owner Zepp Health, formerly known as Huami, is based in the Netherlands.[6]
7) Lastly, we have an updated logo without the curly symbol. Please replace the image in the infobox with this one from Commons.

- I've marked this as a formal edit request so it receives attention. You need to add {{edit COI}} to do that
- I urge you to propose more incremental changes, one at a time, to increase the chances a volunteer will want to invest time in reviewing the request. 331dot (talk) 22:05, 1 October 2025 (UTC)
- @EvergreenEditor68: I completed the edits. I just noticed that the article uses a company infobox but it's about a brand. That should probably be changed. The coverage focuses more on the brand than the company. STEMinfo (talk) 21:55, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
Who owns Zepp/Amazfit?
[edit]The text suggests Zepp is a Dutch company but the details said that Huami bought Zepp, so therefore Huami owns it. This is unclear. Robintundrabay (talk) 02:18, 18 January 2026 (UTC)
