  • Automatic workout identification is a process where the watch automatically determines the workout type and records a single workout after related workout characteristics are compiled with and your workout continues for a period.
  • You can set this in Settings > Workouts > Workout Detection.
    • Type : After you select a workout type, the automatic identification feature is enabled for the workout.
    • Sensitivity : Higher sensitivity indicates a shorter identification time. Identification time is prolonged if the sensitivity is low. Set as required.
    • Continuous workout status monitoring will greatly reduce the battery life. When no workout is selected, the Workout Detection feature is not enabled. If the watch detects an ongoing workout, some data cannot be synchronized with the app.

Voice broadcast during workout

  • Voice broadcast is support when workout alerts or workout laps are triggered or when you pause, continue, end a workout or go to the workout history. The broadcast content includes workout data summary and operation reminders.
  • Only English voice broadcast is supported.
  • Go to Settings > Sound and Vibration > Voice Broadcast > Workout to enable this feature.

Workout history

  • When a workout ends, the workout record will automatically be saved to the Workout History app. If you end the workout when the workout time is too short, the watch will ask you whether to save it.
  • Due to the limited storage space, it is recommended that you synchronize the workout data to the app soon after completing a workout; otherwise, the workout data may be overwritten.

Workout history on the device

  • When a workout ends, the screen will immediately jump to the workout history details page, or you can view recent workout history details in the Workout History app. The watch can save up to 20 recent workout records.

Workout history on the watch
Workout history on the app shows a wider range of workout data. Dynamic route and sharing features are also supported. Open the Zepp app, tap in the upper right corner of the home page, and go to Workout History.
Physical indicators for workouts

  • The device provides a variety of physical indicators for workouts. You can use evaluation scores as a reference for your workouts. These indicators can be viewed in workout records or the Workout status app, including current training load, total recovery time, VO₂ Max, and training effect.
  • You can find a detailed explanation of current training load, full recovery time, and  VO₂ Max in the Workout Status app.

TE

  • Training Effect (TE) is an indicator for measuring the effect of a workout on improving the aerobic capacity. When you work out while wearing the device, the TE score starting from 0.0 increases as the workout progresses. The TE score ranges from 0.0 to 5.0, and different score ranges indicate different effects. A higher TE score indicates a greater workout intensity. It signifies a higher body load, but a better TE. However, you should consider whether your body load is too high when the TE score reaches 5.0.
Aerobic TE Score Effect on Improving Aerobic Capacity
0.0-0.9 This workout has no effect on improving aerobic capacity.
1.0-1.9 This workout helps improve endurance and is ideal for post-workout

recovery training.
2.0-2.9| This workout helps maintain aerobic capacity.
3.0-3.9| This workout significantly helps improve aerobic capacity.
4.0-4.9| This workout remarkably improves heart-lung ability and aerobic capacity.
5| Post-workout recovery is required for non-athlete users.
Anaerobic TE Score| Effect on Improving Anaerobic Capacity
---|---
0.0-0.9| This workout has no effect on improving anaerobic capacity.
1.0-1.9| This workout has a slight effect on improving anaerobic capacity.
2.0-2.9| This workout helps maintain anaerobic capacity.
3.0-3.9| This workout significantly helps improve anaerobic capacity.
4.0-4.9| This workout has a significant effect on improving
| anaerobic capacity.
---|---
5| Post-workout recovery is required for non-athlete users.

The TE score is evaluated based on your profile, as well as your heart rate and speed during your workout. A low TE score does not indicate a problem during your workout, but instead signifies that the workout is too easy and has no significant effect on improving aerobic capacity (for example, a low TE score for 1-hour of jogging).

  • How to obtain the data:
    Once a workout for which heart rate data is monitored ends, the watch displays the TE score of the workout and provides related comments or suggestions. You can also review the TE score of each workout record in the future.

  • Workout status
    Workout status includes training load, full recovery time, and VO₂ Max. The device calculates these metrics based on your personal information and data generated during the workout. As you wear the device and data accumulates over time, we will gain a better insight into your physical and workout data, and the accuracy of evaluation gradually improves.

Maximum oxygen uptake (VO₂ Max)

  • VO₂ Max indicates the amount of oxygen consumed by the body during maximum-intensity workouts, which is an important indicator of the body’s aerobic capacity. As one of the most important reference indicator for endurance athletes, high-level VO₂ Max is the prerequisite for high-level aerobic capacity.
  • VO₂ Max is a relatively personal indicator, which has different reference standards for users with different genders and in different age groups. The device evaluates your athletic capacity based on your  profile and the heart rate and speed during your workouts. Also, VO₂ Max changes with your athletic capacity. However, everyone has a VO₂ Max value, which varies by individual body conditions.
  • VO₂ Max values map to seven athletic ability levels: Novice, Elementary, Ordinary, Medium, Good, Excellent, and Superior.

How to obtain the data :

  1. Correctly enter your profile in the app.
  2. Run outdoors for at least 10 minutes when wearing the device and ensure that your heart rate reaches 75% of the maximum heart rate.

How to view the data:
You can view the current VO₂ Max in the watch’s workout status app. You can also view the VO₂ Max history and variation trends in the app.

  • Training Load
  • The training load score is calculated based on your Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC). A higher score indicates a longer workout time and a greater workout intensity. The training load score is calculated as your total training load over the past 7 days, which represents the burden brought to your body from the recent workouts.
  • There are three training load ranges: low, moderate, and high.
  • If the training load is low, it will not help much to improve your athletic ability. However, if the training load is relatively high or too high, you may feel too tired, meaning it is not conducive to effectively improving your ability and may also cause injury risks. If you want to continuously improve your athletic ability within a tolerance range, it is recommended that you keep the training load  score within the moderate range.
  • The moderate range of the training load score depends on your recent and long-term workout data, and will become increasingly accurate as you use it.

How to obtain the data:
After the workout mode is enabled on the device, you can obtain the training load of the current workout once you reach the minimum training load level. The training load over the past 7 days can be  viewed in the workout status application of the device.

  • How to view the data:
    • The training load can be viewed in the workout status application of the device. You can view your training load variation trends in the app.
  • Total recovery time
    • Total recovery time is the recommended time for the complete recovery of the body. After each workout, recovery suggestions will be offered based on the heart rate of the latest workout to help you  better recover and reasonably arrange your workout to avoid injury.
Full Recovery Period Workout Suggestions
0-18 hours You have fully or nearly fully recovered, and you can do slightly

higher-intensity training.
19-35 hours| You can train as usual and you can prepare to strengthen your regimen again.
36-53 hours| Appropriately reducing the intensity of your training will allow you to gain workout benefits from your last training, and you should do recovery workouts to relieve physical fatigue.
---|---
54-96 hours| Proper rest will allow you to get the benefits of the workout from your last high-intensity training.
