When you see a minimal version in a watch face’s animated preview, it’s usually showing what the Always-On Display (AoD) mode looks like. On the Amazfit Band 7, this minimal design typically appears when the screen is off or in a low-power state—not just when Night Mode is enabled, which often only adjusts brightness or inverts colors.
Here’s what you can do:
Check for AoD Support:
Look in the Zepp app or your Band 7’s settings for an option labeled “Always-On Display” or a similar power-saving mode. If the watch face supports AoD, toggling it on should reveal the minimal layout.
Understand Watch Face Previews:
Sometimes the animated preview shows multiple design concepts (day vs. night or full vs. minimal), even if only one version is actually implemented on your device. The minimal version might just be a design mockup.
Consult Documentation:
If you expected a minimal version based on the preview but can’t find a way to activate it, check any accompanying notes or instructions from the watch face developer. They may specify whether the minimal layout is available on the Band 7.
In summary, if you’re not seeing the minimal version after enabling AoD or a related setting, it’s likely that the preview is showcasing an alternate concept that isn’t supported on your device.

Some watch faces show more minimal versions in their Animated GIF previews. How do I see the version of the face on my device?
I assumed it would be in night mode, but I see no change there.
I'm using Amazfit Band 7.
