Workout Positioning

If you choose to start Outdoor running, you’d better go to the open area before workouts, which is conducive to rapid GPS positioning.

You can open the Amazfit App, connect it to the watch, and try again after the AGPS is updated.

It is recommended to ensure GPS positioning is processed successfully before the outdoor workout. If you start the workout during positioning, the workout track cannot be recorded and the recorded workout data will not be accurate.
