However, the real excitement for most comes from the AI Zepp Flow voice command software. Using speech recognition and the watch’s built-in microphone and speaker, the Zepp Flow app can adjust your calendar, control your watch’s settings by asking it to adjust the brightness and so forth, and help you compose Whatsapp replies with suggestions.
