Wearing & Replacing Watch Strap
Put the strap on with comfortable looseness to allow the skin to breathe and
the sensor to function.
When measuring SpO₂, avoid wearing the watch on the wrist joint, keep your
arms flat, 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 a workout and loosen it afterward.
Tighten the strap appropriately if your watch sways on your wrist or fails to
output data.
To attach or detach the watch strap, refer to the illustration below:
Note:
After the strap is attached, please pull the strap using appropriate force to
ensure a secure attachment.
Avoid contact with liquid, as the leather strap is not waterproof. Switch to a
fluoro rubber strap or a silicone strap where you cannot avoid such contact,
for example, when swimming.

Workout GPS Positioning
If you do outdoor exercise, wait on the workout preparation page until GPS
positioning is successful. Then tap GO to start the workout. This helps avoid

Positioning guide:
1. If you receive a prompt to update the AGPS after selecting an exercise,
start the Zepp app on your phone and connect it with the watch to update AGPS.
Then, select an exercise again. This operation reduces the time spent
searching for a signal and avoids search failure.
2. If during the positioning process, the GPS signal icon continues to
flicker, an open area can offer you faster positioning for better GPS signal,
as nearby buildings may block and weaken the signal, extending the positioning
time and even causing positioning failure.
3. After successful positioning, the GO button is highlighted. The GPS signal
shows the current GPS signal strength.
AGPS (Auxiliary GPS) is a kind of GPS satellite orbit information data that
helps the watch accelerate the GPS positioning process.

Activities and Health
PAI
PAI is an indicator of personal physiological activity. Based on heart rate
data, daily activity intensity, and multidimensional and dynamic evaluation of
personal physiological data, PAI is obtained through calculations by an
algorithm. PAI does not rely on individual data categories alone. 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, start the Zepp App and choose PAI cards > About PAI.
*The HUNT Fitness Study, a sub-project of the HUNT study, is led by Professor Ulrik Wisloff from Medical School of Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It has lasted for over 35 years and involved more than 230,000 participants.
Activity Goal
The watch automatically records your activity data, including steps, calories,
standing count, and distance. It also records the duration that heart rate is
maintained within or above the fat-burning range as an index of fat-burning
time.
1. Your daily activity goal consists of three parts, including Move ring
(with target steps or calories), Fat burning ring, and Stand ring.
2. When a target is achieved, the watch vibrates to congratulate you.
Idle Alerts
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 1 min at the 50th min of the current
hour and you are properly wearing the watch, the watch will vibrate to remind
you to do some exercise. After receiving an idle alert, if you complete
activities before the next hour arrive, the standard 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 > Amazfit GTS 2 >Notifications and reminders > Idle alerts, and enable
the function.
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.
To ensure measurement accuracy, you need to wear the watch correctly according
to the instructions and ensure that the part next to your skin is clean and
free of sunscreen smear.
Heart Rate Alerts
If you set to use All-Day Heart Rate Monitoring, that is, measuring your heart
rate at least every 10 min, you can enable the heart rate alert function.
The watch vibrates when the alert value is reached and there is no obvious activity detected in the last 10 min.
All-Day Heart Rate Monitoring
1. Keep the watch connected with your phone, start the Zepp app, and go to
Profile > Amazfit GTS 2 > Health Monitoring to enable All-Day Heart Rate
Monitoring and set measuring frequency. Then, the watch automatically conducts
regular measurements of the heart rate at the set frequency and records your
heart rate change throughout the day.
2. Heart rate can change dramatically when you are doing an activity. If you
enable the heart rate monitoring function, the watch automatically increases
heart rate measurement frequency to record the heart rate change when it
detects activity.
3. The watch’s heart rate app allows you to view the heart rate curve and
heart rate distribution throughout the day.
Manual measurement
1. To measure your heart rate manually when All-Day Heart Rate Monitoring is
not enabled, wake up the watch, press the side button to go to the app list,
then swipe up or down to select the heart rate app.
2. You can set the heart rate app as a quick access app to facilitate heart
rate measurement.
3. The watch only allows you to view the heart rate value measured this time.
To view historical records, you need to synchronize data to the Zepp app.
Sleep
Sleep quality has an important impact on human health.
If you wear the watch while sleeping, it automatically records sleep
information. You can synchronize sleep information to the Zepp app to view the
sleep time, sleep stages, sleep score, and sleep suggestions.
Assisted Sleep Monitoring
Keep the watch connected with your phone, start the Zepp app, and choose
Profile > Amazfit GTS 2 > Health Monitoring to enable assisted sleep
monitoring for more accurate sleep information (REM sleep stage).
Sleep Breathing Quality Monitoring
Keep the watch connected with your phone, start the Zepp app, and choose
Profile > Amazfit GTS 2 > Health Monitoring to enable Sleep breathing quality
monitoring. Then, the watch automatically monitors the sleep breathing quality
when it detects that you are wearing the watch during sleep.
SpO₂
Blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) is an important physiological parameter of
respiration and circulation.
1. Wake up the watch, press the side button to go to the app list, and select
the SpO₂ app to start measuring SpO₂.
2. When you are climbing a mountain, you can run the Workout app in the
background, and start the SpO₂ app to measure SpO₂.
3. After the measurement is complete, the result will be displayed on the
watch. You can also view measurement results for the whole day.
Precautions for SpO₂ Measurement
1. Wear the watch a distance of one finger away from the carpal and remain
still.
2. Wear the band tightly, with an appropriate sense of pressure.
3. Place your arm on a tabletop or a stationary surface, with the watch
screen facing up.
4. Remain still during measurement and focus on the measurement.
5. 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.
6. The measurement range of this watch is 80%-100%. This function is for
reference only and should not be used
as the basis for medical
diagnosis. If you feel unwell, please seek professional medical advice.
Stress
The stress index is calculated based on changes in heart rate variability. It
is a reference for health status evaluation. You should rest more when the
index is high.
1. Wake up the watch, press the side button to go to the app list, and swipe
up or down to select the stress app to view related information.
2. When Automatic stress testing is enabled in the stress app, stress
measurement will be performed every 5 min to show you the changes in your
stress. You can also keep the watch connected with your phone, start the Zepp
app, and choose Profile > Amazfit GTS 2 > Health Monitoring to set this
function.
3. If Automatic stress testing is not enabled, you can access the stress app
for measurement at any time and view and record the results.
