Activities and Health
Activity target
The watch automatically records your activity data, including steps, calories, standing times, and Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI).
- The daily activity target consists of three parts, including the activity data (steps or calories), standing data, and PAI data.
- When a target is achieved, the watch vibrates to offer congratulations.
PAI:
PAI is an indicator of personal physiological activity. Based on heart rate
data, daily activity intensity, and multi- dimensional and dynamic evaluation
of personal physiological data, PAI is obtained through calculations by an
algorithm. PAI does not rely on individual data. Therefore, it allows you to
systematically and comprehensively understand your physical condition.
By maintaining a certain intensity of daily activities or workouts, you can
obtain your PAI value. According to the results of the HUNT Fitness Study*,
maintaining a PAI above 100 helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular death and
increase life expectancy.
**For more information, launch the Zepp app, and choose PAI Cards > About
PAI.
***The HUNT Fitness Study: This study is a sub-project of the HUNT study, led
by Professor Ulrik Wisloff, School of Medicine, Norwegian University of
Science and Technology. It has lasted for over 35 years, and involved more
than 230,000 participants.
Idle alert
To encourage you to have a certain amount of activity every hour when you are
awake and reduce the harm caused by sitting for too long, the watch monitors
your activity as you wear it.
If no activity is detected for more than one minute at the 50th minute of the
current hour and you are properly wearing the watch, the watch will vibrate to
remind you to do some exercises. After receiving an idle-alert, if you
complete activities before the next hour arrives, the stand target of the
current hour can still be achieved.
Enabling idle alerts: Keep the watch connected with your phone, start the Zepp app, and choose Profile > My devices > Amazfit X > Idle alert. Then, you can enable the idle alert function.
Heart rate
The heart rate is an important indicator of physical condition. Highly- frequent heart rate measurement helps capture more heart rate changes and provide a reference for a healthy lifestyle.
Automatic heart rate measurement
