Wearing and Charging

Wearing and Replacing Watch the Strap
It is recommended to wear the watch with comfortable looseness to allow the skin to breathe and the sensor to function.
When measuring blood oxygen, avoid wearing the watch on the wrist joint, maintain a comfortable (appropriately tight) fit between the watch and the skin of your wrist, and keep your arm still throughout the measurement process. When affected by external factors (such as arm sag, arms sway, arm hair, and tattoo), measurement results may be inaccurate or the measurement may fail with no output.
You can tighten the watch strap during the workout and loosen it afterward. Tighten the strap appropriately if your watch sways on your wrist or fails to output data. AMAZFIT Bip 3 Smartwatch - figure 1

The watch vibrates when you achieve daily step and standing goals.

PAI

PAI is used to measure a person’s physiological activity and reflect overall physical condition.
It is calculated based on a person’s BMP, the intensity of daily activities, and physiological data.
By maintaining a certain intensity of daily activities or workouts, you can obtain a PAI value.
According to the research results of the HUNT Fitness Study*, people with a PAI value greater than 100 are more immune to cardiovascular diseases and have increased life expectancy.

Wake up the watch, press the button on the watch face page to go to the app list, and swipe up or down on the screen to select and open the PAI app. In the PAI app on the watch, you can view information such as your PAI score in the past seven days and today’s PAI score. You can also set the PAI app as a quick access app to easily view your PAI score.
For more information, go to the Zepp app Home page > PAI page > click Q&A.

The HUNT Fitness Study is a sub-project of the HUNT study, led by Professor Ulrik Wisloff at the School of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It has lasted over 35 years and involved more than 230,000 participants.

Heart Rate

Heart rate is an important indicator of physical condition. Highly-frequent heart rate measurement helps capture more heart rate changes and provides a reference for a healthy lifestyle.
Wake up the watch, press the button on the watch face page to go to the app list, and swipe up or down on the screen to select and open the Heart Rate app. In the Heart Rate app on the watch, you can view your most recently measured heart rate value, all-day heart rate curve, resting heart rate, heart rate interval distribution, and other information. Setting the Heart Rate app as a quick access app allows you to easily measure your heart rate. To ensure measurement accuracy, you need to wear the watch correctly according to the tips, and ensure that the part next to your skin is clean and free of sunscreen smear.

Sleep

Sleep quality has an important impact on human health.
When you sleep while wearing the watch, it automatically records your sleep data. Open the Sleep app to view your total sleep duration from the previous night and sleep data over the past seven days. You can also synchronize sleep data to the Zepp app to view your sleep duration, sleep stages, sleep score, and sleep suggestions.

Assisted Sleep Monitoring

Sleep Breathing Quality Monitoring
Keep the watch connected to the phone, open the Zepp app, and go to Profile > My Device >Amazfit Bip 3 > Health Monitoring to enable sleep breathing quality monitoring. Once this feature is enabled, if the system detects that you are wearing the device during sleep, it will automatically monitor your breathing quality to help you better understand your sleep status.
Blood oxygen
Blood oxygen is the concentration of blood oxygen in the blood and an important physiological parameter of respiration and circulation.

Wake up the watch, press the side button to go to the app list, and select the SpO2 app to start measuring blood oxygen.
After the measurement is complete, the watch displays the measurement result. You can also view measurement results from the past 3 hours.

Precautions for blood oxygen measurement:

Wear the watch a distance of one finger away from the carpal and remain still.
Wear the band tightly, with an appropriate sense of pressure.
Place your arm on a tabletop or a stationary surface, with the watch screen facing up.
Remain still during measurement and focus on the measurement.
Factors such as hair, tattoo, shaking, low temperature, and incorrect wearing of the watch may affect measurement results and even lead to a measurement failure.
The measurement range of the watch is 80%-100%. This feature is for reference only and should not be used as a basis for medical diagnosis. If you feel unwell, please seek medical advice.

Stress Monitoring

The watch provides the Stress app to measure your stress value. When the measurement is successful, the watch displays the measured stress value and stress status.

Heart rate range for a workout
When you are working out, the watch calculates your heart rate range based on your personal information. You can determine the effect and intensity of a workout based on the heart rate range. On the watch, you can view your current heart rate range in the heart rate data column.
After you finish the workout, you can open the Zepp app and find the current workout records to view the workout duration in each heart rate range on the Details screen.
By default, six heart rate ranges are provided.
The default heart rate ranges are calculated by estimating the maximum heart rate. The watch calculates the maximum heart rate by the common formula of subtracting your age from 220.
