Workout alert
Workout reminder settings allow you to control all different reminders, such
as distance, heart rate reminder, etc. You can set reminders as needed in the

time when the mileage increases a full kilometer. How to set up: Outdoor
running > Workout settings > Workout alert > Distance, choose the number of
full kilometers, and turn on or off the full kilometer alert.
Safe heart rate reminder
If the watch detects that your heart rate goes above the safe heart rate value
you set previously, it will vibrate and display the alert on the screen. If
this happens, you need to slow down or stop the current workout. How to set
up: Outdoor running > Workout settings > Workout reminder > Safe heart rate,
choose a safe heart rate value and turn on or off your safe heart rate
reminder.
Heart rate zone reminder
When you are running, if the watch detects that your heart rate does not fall
within the set heart rate range, it will vibrate and display the alert on the
screen. If this happens, you need to increase or decrease your speed to
maintain your heart rate within the set range. How to set up: Outdoor running

pace, and turn on or off your pace alert.
Auto pause
The auto-pause can be turned on or off in the auto-pause settings. Once it is
turned on, whenever the exercise speed is too slow, the workout recording will
be paused automatically. When the speed increases beyond a certain threshold,
the workout recording will resume. Recording can also be resumed manually
during the pause.
Real-time graph
In the real-time diagram settings, you can set if a real-time data plot should
be displayed during the workout. The plot for each workout can be different,
so one real-time plot using one set of data can be set up for each workout.
About GPS Positioning
When you enter the Workout Preparation page for an outdoor exercise such as
running, the watch will automatically start GPS positioning and alert you as
soon as your location is confirmed. The watch will turn off GPS positioning
automatically when you exit the Workout Preparation page or finish the
workout. The GPS searching process will last for 5 minutes maximum. If
positioning is not successful after that, you will be prompted to repeat the
positioning process. If you do not start exercising within 10 minutes after
you are successfully positioned, the watch will automatically turn off
positioning to reduce power consumption. You will have to repeat the
positioning process if you want to start exercising again.
Positioning tips:
GPS positioning should be performed in an open area outdoors. Please wait for
the positioning process to complete before starting your exercise. If you are
in a crowd, raising your watch to your chest level may speed up the
positioning process.
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS):
AGPS uses the orbital information of the GPS satellites to help the watch
perform GPS positioning faster. When the watch is connected to your phone via
Bluetooth, the watch will actively synchronize and update AGPS data with the
Amazfit app every day. If the watch hasn’t synchronized this data with the
Amazfit app for seven consecutive days, the AGPS data will expire, and the
positioning speed may be affected.
Pool Swimming
Useful terms
Lane length: The length of the lanes in your swimming pool. The watch
will calculate your swimming data based on the lane length you set. Therefore,
every time you change a swimming pool, please set the lane length accordingly
so that the watch can accurately assess your swimming data.
Lap: under the pool swimming mode, swim for a distance equal to the lane
length you set.
Stroke: finish a complete paddling action while wearing your watch on
your wrist.
Stroke rate: the number of strokes per minute.
DPS: An abbreviation of distance per stroke, refers to the moving
distance after finishing a complete stroke.
SWOLF: SWOLF is an important indicator for a swimmer, which uses scores
to make a comprehensive assessment of your swimming speed. SWOLF for pool
swimming mode = duration of one lap (in seconds) + number of strokes in a
single lap. SWOLF for open water swimming mode will be calculated using a lap
distance of 100 meters. The smaller the score is, the higher the efficiency of
your swimming.
Stroke recognition
The watch will recognize your swimming strokes under swimming mode and
display the main swimming stroke you use.
Use a touch screen when swimming
To protect the screen from unintentional touching and water interference, the watch will disable touch screen functions after you start swimming. During this time, you can use the watch buttons to operate. The watch will re-enable touch screen functions after you finish swimming.

recommend that you open the app to synchronize data in order to avoid the loss
of workout records.

records. If the watch records a mileage greater than 0.5km, the calibrated
mileage will optimize the algorithm to make subsequent mileage records more
accurate. If the mileage records are still inaccurate after multiple
