Beta testers of the new Zepp app's Food Log feature, which includes an AI detection tool, have begun sharing their early feedback and insights. In September, Zepp Health launched a beta test for the food journal, specifically for users of the Amazfit Balance smartwatch, which is currently priced at $169.99 on Amazon.
Features and User Experience
During the announcement, it was disclosed that the Food Log feature would enable users to log their food intake by simply uploading images. An AI algorithm is designed to analyze these images, recognizing the food and estimating its nutritional content. Users have taken to social media to discuss their testing experiences. Many Balance smartwatch owners have remarked on the surprisingly accurate AI detection, noting that it typically requires only slight adjustments through text prompts. They also mentioned that the interface is user-friendly, and the summary of carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake has proven to be quite helpful.
User Insights and Suggestions
One participant of the testing indicated that users have the ability to set personal dietary goals. Another tester posted an image showing suggestions from Zepp Health regarding how meal timings can impact both sleep quality and digestion. There have been calls for additional features, such as a history log of previously uploaded foods and improved editing tools. The overall opinion seems to be that this is a solid beginning, with users eager to see how the feature evolves in the future.
Future Availability
Sadly, Zepp Health is no longer taking applications for individuals to participate in testing the Food Log feature. This means that interested customers will need to wait until the tool is available for public use. The company has not yet revealed when the food journal feature will be available to all smartwatch users. It is expected to be included in a future app update, following the recent significant refresh with version 9.0.0.
