Can't upload Balance watchface - how?

[BenS]

Hi There,

Have spent a day on this so sorry if it's easy - can't find info I understand sorry.

I've built a watch face using Watch Face Maker which exports a .zab file. Questions...

1. How do I upload the face to Amazfit Watch Faces with multiple images?

• I can only select 1 image

• I can't select the .zab file

Spoiler

2. How do I upload a watch face via Zepp Concole?

The 'Support Devices' filed is required but can't be edited

The 'Watchface category' field is required but can't be edited

Spoiler

Any pointers in the right direction much appreciated.

Cheers, Ben

1. How do I upload the face to Amazfit Watch Faces with multiple images?

You can’t upload multiple preview images directly, but you can use a GIF as a single animated preview. Additionally, you can embed multiple static images into the description using BBCode like this:

Code: Select all

[img]https://link.to/image.jpg[/img]

— just upload your images to any image hosting service first.

• I can't select the .zab file

The watchface file should be a .zpk (it’s a renamed .zip). Inside it, the face is usually named device.zip. Just rename that file (e.g. myface.zip) and upload it — no need to use .zab, it’s not supported.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

OK but the file which downloads using 'Export the watch face package' is definitely a .zab file - see attached...



If I rename it to a zip file and extract it, I see two .zpk files. If I rename those to zip and extract, I see the device.zip files but which one do I upload?

the device file inside 'default-target-MHS-480x480' or 'default-target-NXP-480x480' ?

And are you able to help with the Zepp Console questions?

To answer this properly, you’ll need to examine both folders — default-target-MHS-480x480 and default-target-NXP-480x480. There’s a chance the .zip files inside are identical or very similar, but that’s not guaranteed.

Here’s what you can do:
1. Extract the device.zip files from both folders.
2. Inspect the contents.
3. If they’re identical, it doesn’t matter which one you use.
4. If they differ, it’s best to test them on the actual device or check in Zepp which target matches your specific model.

Without this comparison, it’s impossible to give a definitive answer.
