There seem to be a few useless apps on my LG G Watch:
Trigger (for NFC)
Heart Rate
Heart Activity
Since the watch doesn't have an NFC reader nor a heart rate monitor, can they be removed? How?
(and i want to keep trigger on the phone)
Trigger on your watch can launch activities. So it's not useless... But for me it's not working anymore. Getting a force close all the time I want to open trigger on the watch.
For me too. That's why I called it useless.
And why do we have the heartrate stuff if the watch doesn't support it?
dear all,
just got this gorgeous gear fit. it looks really good, love it. but i need it more than just good shiny bracelet thingy. i need three main functions (beside as a watch):
1. wa notification (done)
2. heart rate monitor which can automatically read my heart rate every one hour or so
3. sleep monitor
i am using xiaomi redmi 3s with marshmallow miui 8 eu dev rooted. browse and tried everything i bumped to to achieve those three goals. so far works for me:
a. gear fit manager debugsigned from other thread in this forum, but crash every time calls in.
b. open fit from google play, but wa notification don't have preview on the gear fit.
c. gear fit pro lite from google play.
all those manager apps can not connect to third party app which have heart rate graphs. gear fit pro lite include health graphics on its own but no heart rate graphics.
if anybody got any clue about no 2 and 3 please inform me...
thanks in advance
Hello to all the community, grateful to be part of I want to ask the following question ... is it possible to synchronize the heart rate monitor with third party app ?. It turns out that before with the xiaomi band 2 I could monitor the heart rate with the Runkeeper app and now with the amazfit pace I can not.
PS: I have the amazfit A1612 US / International with stockfied rom 1.2.49k
some can help please?, thx
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to do Gym workouts in this watch.
I would like to pick an exercise and input the weight i am lifting.
The watch needs to measure the number of reps and the heart rate.
In such a workput, the heart rate can go up really fast.
For example, in lifting weights, 110 resting HR to 165 peak HR, by the end of the 15th rep.
I am not sure if the HR diodes are capable of sampling data fast (need 25 samples/min or better)
But that is not a showstopper, as one can pair with external Hrart rate monitor such as Polar H7 or H10.
I expect the watch to count the reps though.
Thoughts?

Unfortunately, as of now the watch is not gym-friendly. I would at least want to be able to start a timer while in a workout. But even this is not possible. Interval workouts are only available for GPS-based activities. Hopefully Huami will look into this and deliver gym mode in next updates.

You can use Elliptical to track any indoor activity that you want, and for timed intervals there is a custom app made for the watch so you can track the time.

Yeah, I know and that's what I'm doing. Would like a dedicated workout mode, though. Just downloaded the Interval timer for the watch today. Can you really record the workout and run the timer at the same time? How?

Probably only using a 3rd party launcher, like QuickLaunher, installed on watch. But I think that intervals were added to other sports in latest CN dev versions, hopefully it will be added to EN versions soon.

Sorry, the intent is not the timer instead it is fast changing heart rate.
HIIT intervals can vary heart rate from warmup (say 120) to VO2max (say 170) depending on your age in a matter for 20 secs
So the diodes needs to keep up as it is now a sampling rate issue. The Samsung Gear 3 does it nicely.
I would suggest Stratos 3 that supports about 80 sport models.
use Amaztimer app
Nowhere have I seen how the "Exercise" mode of the new Amazfit GTR works. Could anyone share photos and their experience with this mode?
On the other hand, which is the best alternative for Amazfit to keep track of the exercises, repetitions, weight lifted, etc., that is, alternatives such as "Exercise Tracker: Wear Fitness", "WORKIT - Gym Log", "Jefit", etc.
I have seen the best options on FitBit, Polar, Garmin, Galaxy Gear watches and in Wear OS watches.
Any suggestions?
