In reading reviews for the new ASUS Zen Watch I saw that ASUS has a app. that is used to shut down clock alarms from the phone using the watch so you do not need to access the phone.
Is there an app. or another way to do the same thing on the LG G Watch?
You can use "Alarm for Android Wear" from NeFa Studio. You can setup alarm for Phone/Wear/Wear&Phone with phone or watch and dismiss with watch if you setup Wear&Phone
Thank You, Dersie!! This solves my problem.

And if so could someone please explain to me how to pair it. Notify and fitness mentions unpairing from the mifit app and only pairing with notify, but when I do this the watch only shows the connect to app icon. I would love to just use notify as mifit and notified seem to fight sometimes.
Yes, you can. I use it all the time and don't have Mi fit installed.
Just click on the menu button (3 lines in top left)
Then in the menu that shows, scroll down to the option: Re-Pair with Amazfit
It will disconnect (if connected) and then pair again with the Amzfit Bip.
Works great and there is less battery loss then with Mi Fit.
Do you pair originally with mifit then uninstall it? When I unpaired with mifit nothing I do in Notify takes the watch off the connect to phone screen. Notify says it's paired but the watch doesn't.

Yes, i started on my phone with the Mi fit app, but for my wife i never installed Mi fit.
What you can do after unpairing Mi fit, is using N&F and then install the latest firmware.
See here for a description what to do (follow all steps 1 through 5 except the Chinese characters step). The description is for step 5 (GPS), but simply start with 1.

Thank for the replies, unfortunately it's just not working. When I have Mifit uninstalled and paired with Notify, when I try to update the firmware it disconnects from Notify. I can re-pair the watch in Notify but when the firmware update starts its disconnects.
I love the concept of Notify and the custom notifications but I'm about to get a refund on the pro purchase and just use the stock software for consistency.
I tried to uninstall Mi Fit and pair through Notify. The pairing icons wouldn't go away from the watch. It looked like the phone was getting data from the watch, but the watch was not recognizing it was paired. There is a Reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazfitBip/comments/8dhyft/do_i_need_to_keep_mi_fit_when_using_another_app/ with other people having this issue. It would be nice to only have to run one app on the phone to cut down on battery usage.
I figured it out. In the notify app, go to settings and under the advanced tab, scroll down to where it says something about the official mi fit app. Select the app isn't installed and your watch should connect to the notify app
Cannot go to the main screen of the app
Hi all,
I have a problem with my amazfit pace.
I have MiFit installed and paired (as well as Amazfit app).
Whn I install Notify and fitness asks me for permissions wich I grant and asks if the watch is correctly paired.
After that I get to a Screen with several app list to activate notifications or not but I'm not able to go to the main page with all the features...
Is this happening to someone else?
Thanks
I would like to say thank you to the devs of this app. I'm a paid user and I have a question. Is there a way to use Notify App for only integration with Sleep as Android? I use the amazfit app as I like their graphs better. Thanks
Howdy all,
Just wondering if any of the Amazfit watches (especially the Bip), will allow you to put a message in with one of the alarms? I have searched high and low but all I can seem to find is that (using the Bip as an example) all you can do is set up to so many alarms, what time, daily/weekly etc but not whether or not you can attach a message like "Go to appointment" with that alarm.
Multiple smartwatch alarms to me seem kind of pointless if you can't remember what they were for.
Thanks,
Trevel14n
I don't know about BIP, but it doesn't work this way with Pace and Stratos. On them, however, you can install third party apps, one of them is TickTick. It has reminders and you can set timed reminders for them, and even sync using WiFi. Interface isn't the best because it was not meant for small screens, but after initial setup basically you will open it just to sync data with wifi when needed. It won't work with BIP because BIP runs a proprietary OS, not Android.
Hi, I've never had other smartwatch. I got it as a gift. First of all I was surprised that it doesn't work standalone at all. You have to install MiFit app to just start watch to work (after quite long time of installing/updating watch's firmware or so). What is more, You have to create an account on a manufacturer server to use the watch. Than the data are synchronized between a watch and phone. I do not feel comfortable to use closed source apps due to fact I do not know what of my data (in fact) are collected. Even if a manufacturer says in terms and conditions that he collects just these and those data You never know it, You can not check it due to fact that software is closed source. So I did create an account, started the watch and than uninstalled MiFit app. I can use the watch only as regular watch (to check the time), check my pulse from time to time and how many steps I did during the day- that's all. Do all smartwatches work this way? Why do I have to have MiFit app working in background, be connected with manufacturer's server to transfer data between my phone and watch? Why bluetooth enabled is not enough once both devices has been paired? Is there any way to control the watch without MiFit app installed and working? Thanks in advance.
You definitely need a MiFit profile.
As alternative app you can use "Notify and Fitness" app, that can be used without the MiFit.

Regards,
Thanks for a reply Prompter. I know that I need a profile to activate a watch. My main problem with using This watch is that I do not want to be constantly connected to server with an app which is closed source. You told me about an alternative app which is also closed source :/. I know that I can use gadgetbridge open source app after created a profile with MiFit, but Than I need a rooted phone to obtain an individual special key for my device. I have no rooted phone. ..
Hi all,
I bought Amazfit GTR 42mm few days ago. I'am unable to find way, how to receive notifications from Google Pay after i do some payment. Notifications from any other aplications/SMS are working. I have Google Pay(and also Revolut) in list of application, which should be notify. In Google Pay I have Revolut virtual card as my payment card.
In Revolut I receive some notification to watch, for example if someone send me money, but no notification after I paid for something. I want at least one notification about my payment from Google Pay or from Revolut(on phone are both shown) to be shown on my watches. Unable to figure out how to achieve that... ???
I tried original Amazfit app, AeX mod, MiFit. From apps witch is need to be buy: Notify & Fitness for Amazfit and Tools & Amazfit.
No success to receive notifications to my watch. I tried many settings combination without success. I have two notifications on phone - one from Google Pay and second from Revolut after I pay for something by Google Pay. For me is strange, that I'am able to receive any other notifications like from other apps, from SMS about calls... as I mentioned, I was trying to setup this on many SW combinations/settings, strange...
I'am on Android 9, Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact 47.2.A.11.228 (original FW with Magisk). Amazfit GTR 42mm Global, FW v0.1.0.47
If someone known how to solve this, please give me a hint Thak you!
Hi all,
I figure out, how to make Google Pay notification working - main problem is, that notifications from Google Pay are from com.google.android.gms (Google Play Services), not from com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel (Google Play) itself.
After I add com.google.android.gms to apps to be notified , notification after contact-less payment through Google Pay(with assigned Revolud card) are shown on my watches!!! Hurray \o/
Still facing strange behaviour with Revolut notifications.
Working Revolut notifications (able to receive this to my Amazfit GTR)
- notification, when someone send me money
- notification about low level of money
Not Working Revolut notifications (unable to receive this to my Amazfit GTR)
- notification about payment, after pay through Google Pay by my Revolut Card (tested both scenarios 1) NFC phone way 2) by Revolut physical card)
So, have someone a solution to receive Revolut notifications after payment to Amazfit GTR? I will write also to Revolut support to ask them - because for me is strange, that some notifications for the same application I'am able to receive, but some notifications not :/
NEWS:
- I tried also fix this by upgrade my Amazfit GTR 42mm to beta FW v0.1.0.51 (Global version - hawkw), not help
- I guess, that problem will be on Revolut app side
- For debug is nice to use for example Notification History - Google play link
BONUS:
- based on my experience the best app for Amazfit GTR with proper working notification is "Notify & Fitness for Amazfit" - Google play link
- in "Notify & Fitness for Amazfit" I can recommand to pair with key (without need to have Amazfit installed)
- also "Tools & Amazfit" working well for notification - Google play link
- any other apps don't bring any advantage to notifications(Amazfit, AeX, Mi Fit, Alert Bridge for Amazfit & Mi Band, Master for Amazfit... etc.) // if you known about other usable, just tell me
Yeah I have the same problem. It's happening on both my amazfit watch and my mi band. Tried mi fit and downgrading the firmware but unfortunately nothing fixed it, so i stopped using Revolut entirely.
Did you find a way?
Hi, I have a Pace, and if I start an activity (walk, run) from the phone, the app doesn't find the watch, and it can't read heart rate for example.
If I start the activity from the watch, it sync fine with the phone.
Does anyone else has this problem?
Thanks!
This is normal as the fitness part of the app on the phone is meant to be used without the watch.
Just as a backup if the watch isn't working.
