We compared Zepp version 10.7.3 against the previous release, looking specifically for new device names and hardware-related code. There is plenty of routine stuff in the update, but the solar additions stand out.

T-Rex Dual Solar now appears by name

The first change is fairly straightforward. Zepp 10.7.3 now contains the full product name Amazfit T-Rex Dual Solar in its device resources. This is a first.

At this point the name itself is not a huge surprise. Regulatory filings have already connected model A2570 with the T-Rex Dual Solar, following appearances in several certification databases. But it is useful confirmation that Zepp Health is now adding the watch to the software it will use when the device reaches customers.

This also builds on something we spotted in the Zepp app last month. Back then the code contained references to solar intensity, watch_face_input_power and case_back_input_power, but there was no device name connecting those features to an actual Amazfit watch.

Solar Boost Mode is the interesting bit

The bigger discovery, this time around, is an entirely new solar software package in Zepp 10.7.3. It includes code for solar statistics, intensity readings, charging records and notifications, along with a dedicated solar education graphic.

Among the new components are SolarStatsActivity, SolarIntensityServiceImpl, SolarIntensityDataHandler and SolarBatteryChargeRemotePlugin. There are also references to solar intensity measured in kLux and the same separate watch-face and case-back input measurements we saw previously.

But one feature stands out above the rest. Zepp 10.7.3 introduces something called Solar Boost Mode.

The app explains that when the watch enters this mode, it will only display the time, battery level and solar intensity information. Most other functionality becomes unavailable, including data synchronisation, route transfer, workouts started through the app and some Zepp Coach features.

There are also warning messages for situations where charging efficiency is low and prompts telling the user that data cannot be synchronised while Solar Boost Mode is active.

That gives us a much better idea of what Zepp Health is trying to achieve.

Rather than simply placing a solar panel on the watch and allowing it to trickle-charge during normal use, Solar Boost Mode appears to slash power consumption so the energy coming in from the solar system has a better chance of increasing the battery level. In other words, you may be able to put the watch into a deliberately restricted state when extending battery life is more important than using its smart features.

For a T-Rex device aimed at hiking, expeditions and long periods away from a charger, that makes quite a lot of sense.

It could also make Amazfit’s implementation rather different from the typical solar-assisted smartwatch. Garmin solar watches, for example, generally use sunlight to extend battery life while the watch continues operating normally. A dedicated low-power solar charging mode could give Zepp Health another way of squeezing useful energy from a relatively small solar surface.

There is still plenty we do not know. The code does not tell us how quickly the T-Rex Dual Solar charges or how much extra battery life it can generate.

The earlier watch_face_input_power and case_back_input_power fields remain particularly intriguing. They could point to two separate energy inputs, but at this stage we can’t draw a firm conclusion from those names alone.

The hardware has still not been announced, but the software side is starting to look very close to finished. Zepp Health now has the T-Rex Dual Solar name in the app, a solar statistics interface, charging records, intensity measurements and an entire Solar Boost Mode ready to manage the watch when solar charging becomes the priority.

APK teardown note

This article is based on an APK teardown. Code found inside an app can reveal features or devices that are under development, but there is no guarantee they will appear in a future public release.

The post Amazfit T-Rex Dual Solar leak reveals a clever Solar Boost Mode appeared first on Gadgets & Wearables.

The name shows up in several parts of the app code. This includes a dedicated device definition and sensor registration support, making the finding considerably more interesting than a single leftover string.

Polar H12 is hiding inside Flow

We took a closer look at Polar Flow 7.36.2 to see whether the latest release contained any hints about upcoming hardware. Polar officially describes this version as a relatively minor update that fixes connectivity issues, but there is more sitting under the surface.

One of the more interesting entries is a device specification class named PolarSensorGardener.

Inside it are the names Polar H12 and H12.

That alone would be worth noting, but there is considerably more supporting evidence. The app identifies the device as a heart-rate sensor, allows it to be registered as a sensor and includes it among devices considered published by Flow’s internal device-handling logic.

H12 also appears in Polar Flow’s sensor registration code alongside familiar products including H6, H7, H9, H10, Polar Pro, OH1 and Sense. Another part of the app includes H12 among the sensors that support Polar’s Fitness Test.

The Gardener class is particularly interesting because parts of it still look unfinished. It contains placeholder product text including Polar xxx Heart Rate Sensor and Polar xxx, while one of the support links still points to information for the existing H10.

That combination suggests Polar has created a working device profile before completing all the consumer-facing information.

H12 would make sense as an H10 successor

Polar currently lists three main heart-rate sensors on its official sensor page: the H9, H10 and Verity Sense. There is no H12.

The H10 has also been around for a long time. We reviewed the device back in 2017, so a new higher-end chest sensor would hardly be unexpected after nearly a decade.

What H12 might actually add is impossible to tell from the current code. There are no obvious specifications covering battery life, connectivity or new sensing capabilities.

One other question is whether this has anything to do with the recently filed Polar Pulse trademark. The company made its filing in Europe on July 9, followed by a US filing on July 15. The paperwork covers things such as wearable devices, biometric measurements, software and exercise coaching, so it is broad enough to cover quite a few possibilities.

Naturally, that makes you wonder whether Polar Pulse and H12 are connected. We checked the Flow code for the name, but found nothing tying Polar Pulse to H12 or the Gardener codename. So for now, these look like two separate leads rather than pieces of the same puzzle.

H12 is still the more interesting one. Polar Flow already has a dedicated device profile and explicit sensor support for it, which is much more concrete than a trademark filing. We still do not know when it might launch, what it adds over the H10, or whether H12 will even be the final retail name.

What the mini app actually does

Let’s clarify a bit.

A Helio Strap can already connect directly to a compatible Amazfit watch and provide heart-rate data during workouts. So the mini app is not required simply to make that basic connection work.

Instead, the mini app acts as the management interface for the screenless device on the watch. Version 2.0.1 says users can view information such as battery level and software version, and manage functions including Heart Rate Broadcast and Activity Recognition.

That is also why recent Amazfit firmware updates can sound confusing at first. Zepp OS is starting to expose some of these screenless-device controls through places such as Control Center and shortcut cards, rather than forcing users to open the mini app every time.

The latest Cheetah 2 Ultra firmware is a good example. Its release notes say that once a screenless device is connected, users can manage it through Control Center, shortcut cards or the device app.

That “device app” appears to be the newly renamed Amazfit Screenless Devices mini app. So these are not competing ways of connecting to the Helio Strap, they are simply different ways of reaching the same device controls from the watch.

You could think of the mini app as the main device page. Control Center and shortcut cards then provide quicker access to selected functions without having to dig into the app itself.

That setup should become more useful as Zepp Health adds more controls. Checking the Strap battery, toggling heart-rate broadcasting or finding the device from your wrist is much more convenient during training than pulling out a phone.

Why the new name is interesting

Support for the Amazfit Helio Strap Pro is part of version 2.0.1, but that alone does not really explain the rename. Zepp Health could easily have kept the Helio branding if the app was only intended to support a couple of Helio products.

Instead, it chose Amazfit Screenless Devices. That is a much more generic name, and it leaves room for straps, sensors or other screen-free hardware that may arrive later – future straps, sensors or other display-free wearables.

The broader direction fits with what we have already seen from Zepp OS 6. Amazfit watches are gradually becoming hubs for external sensors and accessories, rather than devices that operate largely on their own.

For Helio Strap owners, the immediate benefit is fairly simple. More of the Strap can now be managed from the wrist, and common functions can surface directly in places such as Control Center instead of remaining buried inside a dedicated app.

The post Amazfit turns its Helio Strap app into a screenless device hub appeared first on Gadgets & Wearables.

The company makes that distinction clear in its official Zepp OS 6 compatibility chart. You can see the recap below.

User feedback put the launcher rollout on hold

An Amazfit spokesperson has now explained the thinking behind the decision. Zepp Health received plenty of feedback after Launcher 2.0 appeared on the first Zepp OS 6 watches, and one complaint kept coming up in particular.

Users missed the horizontal widgets.

Launcher 2.0 changes what happens when you swipe around the main watch face. It gives workouts and apps more clearly defined places in the interface, while health and activity information moves into the vertical Shortcut Cards.

That sounds fairly minor on paper, but the horizontal widgets were a big part of how many people used their Amazfit watches. Removing them changes the basic navigation quite a bit.

Zepp Health says its product team is now evaluating that feedback. Until it decides on the best approach, the company has chosen to continue rolling out Zepp OS 6 to existing watches without necessarily including Launcher 2.0.

I can see why Launcher 2.0 divided opinion

I tested the new Zepp OS 6 Motion UI and Launcher 2.0 on the Balance 3 earlier this summer. It did not take long to get used to, but I came away thinking it was more of a rearrangement than a major improvement.

The new layout is certainly tidy. Workouts and apps have obvious places, while health information is grouped into Shortcut Cards. Once you have used it for a few days, the logic makes sense.

But the old horizontal widgets were useful. You could swipe through full-screen panels showing things such as heart rate, BioCharge and activity without first going into a vertical list and opening individual cards.

That extra step is small, but it changes the feel of the watch. When I tested the Balance 3, I thought the new setup worked perfectly well, but I was not convinced it was clearly better than what came before.

The full watch itself remains one of the better examples of Zepp OS 6 in use, as I also found during my Amazfit Balance 3 review. But Launcher 2.0 was never the part of the update that impressed me most.

Judging by Zepp Health’s explanation, enough users felt similarly for the company to reconsider how aggressively it pushes the new interface.

Missing now does not mean missing forever

There is one important detail in the clarification. Zepp Health says that not receiving Launcher 2.0 with the initial Zepp OS 6 upgrade does not mean a watch will never support it.

The company also pushed back against the idea that it is deliberately keeping newer software features away from older watches to separate product generations. Its stated approach is to provide the same software capabilities across different models where the hardware can support them.

It will be interesting to see what Launcher 2.0 looks like by the time Zepp Health makes a decision on the way forward. The company could simply resume the rollout, but it could also tweak the navigation or find a way to bring horizontal widgets back in some form.

The post Why some Amazfit watches got Zepp OS 6 without its new launcher appeared first on Gadgets & Wearables.

When we first covered Garmin’s HbA1c patent, the idea was pretty easy to understand. The watch would shine several different wavelengths of light into the wrist, read the PPG signals and use that to estimate glycated haemoglobin. So this would not be live glucose tracking like a CGM, but more of a longer-term view of where your glucose levels have been.

This goes beyond one glucose patent

There has been some movement since February. Garmin’s HbA1c patent application remains pending and received a non-final USPTO Office Action in March, meaning the examination process is now underway.

That is not an endorsement of the technology, and an Office Action can include objections or rejected claims. What is more interesting is what shows up when Garmin’s other optical-sensing patents are viewed alongside it.

A separate Garmin filing called Pressure compensation for wrist-based pulse spectrometry explicitly discusses HbA1c measurement. It describes compensating for the pressure a watch applies to the wrist, because compressing blood vessels and tissue can alter the optical signals used to calculate physiological measurements.

The filing goes into considerable detail, including pressure compensation across multiple optical wavelengths between roughly 600 and 1,000nm. It also describes calculating glycated haemoglobin from three PPG signals at different wavelengths, and two of its inventors, Paul MacDonald and Christopher Kulach, also appear on Garmin’s dedicated HbA1c patent.

That is a more interesting clue than another generic mention of glucose in a patent. Garmin appears to have been working not only on how to calculate HbA1c, but on one of the practical problems that could make those calculations unreliable on an actual wrist.

There is another piece of the puzzle. Garmin’s wrist-worn optical cardiac monitor patent describes sensor arrangements using three optical transmitters with different wavelengths, as well as configurations operating across several red and infrared wavelength bands.

The HbA1c patent also requires three separate wavelengths travelling along substantially the same optical path. That does not prove these filings describe parts of one future Garmin sensor, but the overlap is difficult to ignore.

And then there is Fenix 9

The timing makes Fenix 9 particularly interesting. Garmin’s HbA1c work claims priority back to June 2023, the pressure-compensation filing dates to October 2023, and the optical-monitor work goes back to 2022, so these projects have been underway long enough to influence a 2026 hardware generation.

We already know Garmin is preparing new high-end watches. Our Garmin Connect 5.27 teardown uncovered six coordinated outdoor-watch records that could belong to a future Fenix 9 family, although Garmin has not confirmed their identity.

There is also Garmin model A05170, an unannounced premium wrist-worn device that recently appeared at the FCC with LTE and satellite connectivity. Fenix 9 or Pro version of the same is one possible identity for that watch. But the filing keeps its external and internal photographs confidential, so it tells us nothing about the optical sensor on the back.

And that sensor is now the bit worth watching. If Fenix 9 arrives with a substantially redesigned optical module, particularly one with additional red and infrared emitters, the connection with Garmin’s spectroscopy work becomes much more interesting.

Why Fenix 9 is still a long shot

There is still a big gap between Garmin researching wrist-based HbA1c estimation and putting the feature into a shipping watch. So far, we have found no public evidence of clinical validation, regulatory work or anything else that ties the technology directly to Fenix 9.

Garmin’s wider interest in metabolic health is clearly growing. In May, Garmin Health published a Diabetes Insight Report looking at Garmin wearable data alongside CGMs, AI platforms and third-party diabetes programmes, but that is separate from Garmin measuring glucose or HbA1c itself.

Even if Fenix 9 introduces a new optical sensor, that alone would tell us very little. Garmin could redesign the sensor for better heart-rate accuracy, Pulse Ox, ECG performance, power efficiency or entirely different health metrics.

What would make the HbA1c connection more interesting is evidence that a new sensor uses the sort of multi-wavelength optical setup described in Garmin’s patents. Until we see something like that, linking Fenix 9 directly to glucose tracking would be mostly guesswork.

The post Garmin’s glucose tracking plans look more serious ahead of Fenix 9 appeared first on Gadgets & Wearables.

Better Helio Strap integration

For starters, the company has improved the way the T-Rex 3 works with the Helio Strap and Helio Strap Pro. Once connected, several functions can now be controlled directly from the watch rather than through the Zepp app.

Users can access these controls through Control Center, shortcut cards or the device app on the watch. Options include low-battery alerts, Find Device and the ability to switch heart rate broadcasting on or off.

The Helio device needs to be running the latest firmware before the new controls will appear. This builds on the existing option to use the Amazfit Helio Strap as an external heart rate monitor.

There is also a new Accessory Reminder setting for workouts. When enabled, the T-Rex 3 searches for compatible accessories when you reach the workout GO screen, giving you the option to connect them or continue without pairing anything.

Navigation and maps get an upgrade

Route navigation gets two changes. The watch can now detect when you are travelling in the wrong direction and display an alert with a one-tap option to reverse the navigation direction. The T-Rex 3 will also notify you when it has successfully recalculated a route after you go off course.

Maps have received a larger batch of changes. Zepp Health says contour lines are now easier to see, while trails use a different colour so they stand out more clearly from urban roads.

Sidewalk information has also been added alongside some major roads. This appears at map scales between 200 metres and 8 metres, so it should become most useful as you zoom further into an area.

The way points of interest appear has been adjusted as well. Road names and place names should also display more clearly at different zoom levels, while users can now download maps covering a larger geographic area.

VO2 Max and workout tweaks

Zepp Health has also updated the VO2 Max algorithm. The company says the change improves accuracy and stability, although the changelog does not explain what has actually changed in the calculation.

Track Run gets a small adjustment for people using imperial units. The second workout page can now display both imperial and metric distance information, rather than sticking entirely to one measurement system.

Freediving also gets a minor change. Users can now select different buzzer types for depth and time alerts, making it easier to distinguish between the two underwater.

Lumysi has taken a fairly simple idea, hide a screenless health tracker inside something that looks like jewellery, and found a surprisingly large audience for it. Its Kickstarter campaign has raised $528,913 so far from more than 2,500 backers, smashing the original $10,000 target by more than 50 times.

A fitness tracker that doesn’t really look like one

Lumysi sits in the increasingly busy screenless fitness tracker category, but visually it goes in a completely different direction. Instead of looking like WHOOP, Garmin CIRQA or Fitbit Air, the tracker sits inside a slim titanium bracelet designed to look more like conventional jewellery.

That distinction probably explains a good chunk of the Kickstarter success. Screenless health tracking is no longer unusual, but most devices still look like fitness equipment. Lumysi is aiming at people who want the data but don’t necessarily want to wear a nylon or silicone fitness band with everything.

The titanium body measures 31.7mm long and just 8.9mm wide. Different band options include stainless steel, leather and silicone, allowing the same tracker to shift between something more formal and something better suited to exercise. Lumysi also rates the bracelet at 5 ATM for water resistance.

There is deliberately no display, vibration motor or notification system. Everything happens quietly in the background, with the user opening the Lumysi app on iOS or Android when they actually want to look at the data.

The health tracking is familiar territory

Underneath the jewellery styling, the sensor package sounds much more conventional. Lumysi uses optical sensors with green, red and infrared LEDs, along with skin temperature and motion sensing. The company says readings update every 30 seconds.

Those sensors feed more than 30 health and wellness metrics covering areas such as heart rate, HRV, blood oxygen, sleep, recovery, stress, activity and women’s health. Continuous temperature tracking can also contribute to estimates of cycle stages and the likely timing of the next period.

Lumysi says that its PPG system uses the same general type of optical technology found in devices such as Apple Watch and WHOOP. But using similar sensor technology does not automatically produce similar accuracy. So only real-world tests will confirm accuracy.

Battery life is rated at up to seven days. Charging takes place through a portable charging case, which itself uses USB-C.

The price helped

Kickstarter pricing started at $179, compared with an expected retail price of $299. What’s more, Kickstarter backers were promised lifetime access to the Lumysi app without a subscription fee.

That is important in this category. One of the biggest arguments against WHOOP remains its recurring membership, while devices such as Garmin CIRQA take the opposite approach and continue working without a required subscription.

Lumysi’s regular retail model appears slightly less clear. Its own website says the hardware will remain a one-time purchase but that some advanced app features may eventually sit behind a premium tier. Kickstarter backers appear to have avoided that issue through the lifetime access included with their pledges.

Those who back the campaign now can expect a device at their doorstep in January 2027. That isn’t too far away for a new hardware product, so it will be worth watching whether Lumysi sticks to that timetable.

Price: $179 and up

Raised: $528,913 of $10,000 goal

Estimated delivery: January 2027

Two Watch D3 models have been certified

The two entries were published by Indonesia’s e-Sertifikasi database on August 11 and August 12. Both name the Huawei Watch D3 and classify it as a smartwatch manufactured by Huawei Device.

That is the first official confirmation of the product name. An earlier Huawei smartwatch roadmap leak mentioned the Watch D3, but at that point it was still just an unconfirmed name attached to a possible 2026 release.

What separates RIV-B10 from RIV-B11 remains unclear. They could be different connectivity versions, regional variants or simply separate configurations, but the certification records do not provide enough information to say.

A clinical trial reveals the important part

The more useful clue comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Huawei sponsored a completed study involving a wrist-worn ambulatory blood pressure monitor carrying the same RIV-B10 model number found in the Watch D3 certification.

The study enrolled 158 adults and ran from April 17 to June 15, 2026. Researchers compared readings from the Huawei device with a mercury sphygmomanometer while assessing its accuracy and safety against the latest ISO 81060-2 blood pressure validation standard.

No results have been posted, so we cannot say how well the device performed. Still, the matching model number confirms that blood pressure monitoring remains central to the Watch D3.

To remind, like Wellue BP Watch, the Huawei Watch D2 uses a miniature pump and inflatable airbag inside its strap to take cuff-style readings. The two devices are quite similar in the way they operate. The duo can also schedule measurements across a 24-hour period, giving it a very different purpose from watches that estimate blood pressure using optical sensors.

September is looking increasingly plausible

Huawei has confirmed a global launch event in Munich for September 2. The company has not said the Watch D3 will be there, but two fresh certifications and a recently completed clinical study make the timing difficult to ignore.

There is still plenty we do not know, including the design, price, battery life and what has changed from the D2. There are also some claims about possible glucose monitoring. But this should also be treated cautiously because neither the certification nor the clinical record mentions it.

The post Huawei Watch D3 appears with two models and a clinical clue appeared first on Gadgets & Wearables.

Some Pixel Watch 1 owners are seeing a warning that sleep and fitness tracking may stop unless they update their watch. The problem is that the original Pixel Watch is already at the end of Google’s guaranteed software support period, so there may be no update for them to install.

A Pixel Watch 1 owner posted the warning on Reddit after seeing it appear on their watch. The message tells users they need newer watch software to keep using sleep and fitness tracking.

That sounds simple enough, except the watch in question is already running Wear OS 5.1.

Pixel Watch 1 owners are stuck

Google only guaranteed software updates for the original Pixel Watch until October 2025, according to its official support timeline. The watch launched in October 2022, so its three-year support window has already ended.

Google did push a modem software update to Pixel Watch 1 in March 2026, but the first-generation model has not moved on to the newer Wear OS versions used by more recent Pixel Watches.

That leaves owners in a strange position. Their watch is telling them to update, but there may be nothing available to update to.

Another Pixel Watch 1 owner in the Reddit discussion says they received the same warning. They also posted what appears to be a response from Google support saying that Pixel Watch 1 is no longer supported.

That does not mean Google has officially announced the end of health tracking on Pixel Watch 1. There is no public support notice saying that sleep, steps or workouts are being switched off. But if this is the case, the device will lose access to Google Health.

It does not appear to affect everyone

Not every Pixel Watch 1 owner is seeing the problem. Other users in the same Reddit thread say their watches are still syncing steps and sleep data normally. So this could still turn out to be a bug, an incorrectly targeted warning or some kind of compatibility problem with a recent Google Health update.

Google’s own health support documentation still talks about sleep, heart rate and activity tracking on Pixel Watch without suggesting that those functions have been removed from the first-generation model.

That is why calling the watch “bricked” is probably going too far for now. The watch itself still works. And you can pair it to other apps. The question is whether Google is starting to require newer software for some of the health features that made people buy it in the first place.

Stopping major Wear OS updates after three years is one thing. Losing sleep and fitness tracking because Google’s health platform has moved on is something else entirely. The original Pixel Watch isn’t even four years old yet. Plenty of them will still be working perfectly well.

Google is already on the Pixel Watch 5, but that doesn’t mean the original model should suddenly start losing basic health features with little explanation. For now, this looks more like a developing issue than a confirmed shutdown. Still, with multiple owners seeing the same warning, it’s one Pixel Watch 1 users will want to watch closely.

You no longer need the WHOOP band

Until now, Advanced Labs has very much been part of the wider WHOOP package. The feature launched in the US last year, combining blood test results with the health and fitness information collected by WHOOP 5.0 and WHOOP MG.

That restriction has now gone. WHOOP says Advanced Labs is available without a wearable membership, so someone using a Garmin, Apple Watch, Oura Ring, Pixel Watch or something completely different can pay for the testing without also maintaining a WHOOP subscription.

Now make no mistake, WHOOP isn’t suddenly pulling Garmin or Apple Watch data into its platform. Instead, it is separating the lab-testing side of WHOOP from the requirement to use its own wearable.

That makes Advanced Labs a much more standalone product than it was when it first rolled out in the US last year. At the time, the attraction was the combination of lab results with WHOOP’s sleep, strain and recovery data. Now WHOOP is effectively saying the laboratory side has value even if you get your everyday wearable data somewhere else.

Testing starts at around $150

Advanced Labs uses Quest Diagnostics in the US and offers blood panels covering areas such as cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory health. Tests are ordered and reviewed by licensed healthcare providers, while the resulting reports include explanations and recommendations.

Pricing starts at approximately $150. WHOOP hasn’t turned Advanced Labs into a subscription-free replacement for the regular WHOOP experience, but it has removed the annual wearable membership as an entry ticket to the service.

It’s quite a shift from where WHOOP started. The company has spent years building around the idea that the hardware and membership belong together. Even when it introduced support for bringing blood test results into WHOOP, the idea was still centred around enriching the experience of existing members.

Advanced Labs can now bring someone into the WHOOP app before they ever consider wearing the device itself. Whether that eventually becomes another route for converting people into wearable subscribers is an interesting question.

WHOOP is also adding the Galleri cancer test

There is another addition worth mentioning. WHOOP is adding GRAIL’s Galleri multi-cancer early detection test to Advanced Labs, with results delivered through the WHOOP app

Galleri uses a single blood draw to look for signals associated with more than 50 types of cancer. WHOOP says it will be available through nearly 2,000 Quest Diagnostics locations in the US, with the actual analysis carried out by GRAIL at its North Carolina laboratory.

That’s a very different proposition from the recovery scores and training guidance WHOOP built its name around. The company has gradually pushed further into broader health with features such as Healthspan, ECG, Blood Pressure Insights and Advanced Labs, and this latest change pushes the platform another step away from being solely about the tracker on your wrist.
