Multi-time zone watch faces? - Asus ZenWatch 2

I've moved to the Zenwatch after the demise of Pebble. With the Pebble, I used a face that showed four time zones, which I found very useful. I'm trying to get the Zenwatch to show multiple time zones, but the watch face designer doesn't provide that and the built-in faces only show one additional zone - and that is shown in such small text that it is unusable. Are there any better options?

Take a look at Watchmaker. There are a few Pebble-ish faces in that collection.

Thanks. I have not been able to find any multi-time zone watch faces that do what I need. I did find and install the Facer App, which has let me create my own that does mostly what I need: the problem is that the "master" time zone does not change when I change time zones. For example, I have the watch showing NY at top, "local" in a larger font below that, then LA and Paris below. It worked perfectly in Maryland. I flew to San Diego last week and while the time changed correctly on my phone, the local time on the watch remained at Maryland local time. If I switch to the built-in faces, it shows the correct local time zone, but switching back to Facer still shows the wrong lcal time. (The Pebble had a similar issue, resolved by re-sending the settings - that doesn't help with Facer and my Asus.)

Sounds like "Business Time' (one of my favourites). Watchmaker has 'Pebble Big Time', which is reminiscent of 'Aspire'. Check it out.

Gear FIT 2 maps and gps data

Hi I own a gear fit 2 and did some wlaking. It nicely shows my speed and heart rate on S Health. But I saw some pics with maps. Does anyone know how to make them visible, either on the fit2 itself or on S Haealth?

on fit 2: main menu, then training, then on the bottom: show log, then select your workout and scroll to the bottom for the map
on s health, (have it synced with fit 2), find the type of activity, then under trends you can find your workout and just tap it to get all the details

I found that already but it appears that there is not always a map there, at least when I did my first walk.. Maybe this has to do with having a gps fix or not.
One more thing: there is a whole bunch of data on that page, but I miss the number of steps I took. Is that still hidden somewhere (still used to my fitbit)?
I was just wondering myself. If you figure it out please post the solution.

Funny, I saw the OP but never say your reply since I was on my phone. I got back after my run and found the map exactly as you have laid out here. Thanks.
No map too
I have same problem today. I run and the GPS work well. I saw my running route displayed in the log but not the map. I tried sync with s health but it still did not work. Anyone know how to display the map so that I can share it on my facebook?

I tried your instruction. Still no map displayed
You must activate location checkbox on setting "exercice" in the Fit2 app
When you start an exercice you see the GPS icon (same that on the phone) blinking until the Fit2 Fix location.

Thanks dersie. But I can confirm the location is lit green by default. I never switch it off. In fact the GPS is working because I can see my running route been traced but there is no map.
Me too
I have a similar issue, but with me, the mapping only seems to work when connected to the phone via bluetooth. if the phone is not present, then the mapping does not work. Is this the case?

The map is sending by the phone at least first time. So I think the Fit2 can not display a map if it is not received (so not paired) by the phone. GPS record only GPX data but it need map picture to stack data on real map.
Hi, anyone got the solution to display map on gear fit 2?
It worked for me once when I was hiking in Korea. The map was displayed in both my fit2 and later in my facebook posting. After I returned to Singapore (my home), I used fit2 for runs twice and no map appeared on my watch both times. I also cannot display the map in my facebook as a result. I will go down to Samsung service centre to ask for their advice soon. Stay tuned for updates.
Is your phone connected to data (3G/4G) during the exercise? if not, then you can maybe try it and tell us.
Of course the Bluetooth between the smartphone and the gear fit 2 must be activated.
I think that since the Gear Fit 2 doesn't have the map of every country on his memory, it has to get those data through the phone.
The problem is how to load our local map into the Gear Fit 2.
Would like this solution as well. I purchased mine from Korea, am currently residing in Singapore which doesn't display the map on my fit 2.

Please let me know. Thanks!
I believe because the Korean set use Naver Map instead of Here Map used by the international set, you can see Naver logo bottom left of the map in your fit2 device. Naver map only cover korea and Japan I think.
The map should be embedded inside the firmware, need to find a way to flash it with international/US set firmware
I have the same problem. I solve doing a Light reset. The mapping with the trajectory become visible
And after 4 days the problem returns. A Ligh reset again ...
I'm in the same boat, I don't see anywhere in the Gear Fit2 app or on the watch itself to display or access GPS data. As far as I can tell, there's no "Training" section anywhere on the watch
e: Ok, so under the exercise tab, you can scroll down and view the log, but still no GPS data or maps are present, though you can drill down into an activity and it'll tell you the time, mileage, and calories and offer to share with facebook
That's exactly the screen that the GPS data *should* be on. The one that lets you share on FB. So once you get your phone to download the map data and have a clear view of the sky at the same time, while having started an exercise on the fit itself (like walking, for instance), you should see the map data.
Just wish they'd let you do a bit more with the map after the fact. Like satellite view, for instance...

I'd love a native app with a map / gps coordinate showing. There's Plenty of space to do 1 state at a time. Where are all the devs when you need them lol

[Bug] Sport Item Order doesn't work for 6 data fields

I want report a bug, that several users have already confirmed with CN and US Rom and Amazfit Watch app from Mi Store and Play Store.
If the watch is set to 4 data fields for activities, the sport item order can be rearranged in the Amazfit Watch app, and the 4 fields will be shown correctly during exercise.
But if however the watch is set to 6 data fields, it ignores the sport item order from the app and shows always the same set. This is especially annoying as we can't see e.g. the average pace during a trail run.
Is there a correction with another rom?pacefield, US, CN???
Thanks
I have the same issue. I change the order of the fields in the app but they don't change on the watch. (( What should I try?
No solution yet for 6 fields. If you need a custom set, you have to switch to 4 fields only.
It doesn't even work with 4 fields. How do you make the change? Do I need to start an activity first?
Of course, how else do you want to see that it works?
If you change the order in the Amazfit app and you don't start an activity on the watch, you wont see anything on the watch. Strange question or I misunderstood you.
I think you misunderstood me.
I mean does it matter what's the consequence of the process? Does it matter if:
1) First I arrange the fields in the app and then start the activity, or
2) I must start an activity and then change the order in the app while the activity is on, or
3) another option?
So far it's not working and I thought there could be another proper way to do it.
My last tests are from the time of the first post. So, long time not checked. I always use 6 fields and can live with the default order.
But it should be logical that only made settings in the app can be used in an activity. Changes after a finished activity has no effect to the already done things. The sport item order screen is only visible while an active workout.

Lap distance, lap time

Is there any possiblity to get the actual lap time and lap distance in running mode? So when the lower button is pushed these values could be visible in real time?
Any answer? I'm interested.
Also, how can I view this lap info (time, kms) in the Amazfit app?
Hi, i wrote four times to Huami and a lot of times in the Amazmot Watch to ask to this.
I dont't wontt time , distance , pace of the last lap , a lap finished, I won't the actually lap, for nopw the pace and run faster or lower.
All garmin, suunto, polar can do it

You can do all this now in latest firmware and latest Amazfit version, simply go to the app, Sports widget and add the data fields (they are hidden by default).
Thank you for your answer. My amazfit pace has the latest firmware and my phone has the latest version of the app but I can't find what you say. In the sport widget I only have two options. 1. Intervals (a method to program intervals in pace) and 2. Data fields shown in the watch during different types of sports. In the running type I have all data fields activated.
What we are looking for is the way to analyze in the app times and paces for the manual laps marked during a training.
Thanks in advance

This?
Yes. This looks nice . Have you done anything to activate this?
Attached you can find how it looks an screenshot of my app.
App version is 2.5.2.1-play
Pace firmware 2.8.1.0
Looking the details of your attachment I've seen that the laps are exactly of 500meters (except the last one). Maybe you have turned on the autolap option in the amazfit pace with a lap each 500meters automatically?
What we are trying to do is to mark laps manually, with the rear button, and see times and paces between this manual laps. Is that possible??
Regards

1. Yes
2. Maybe it's possible with Stratos, you have to check it.
It's not possible i have the last chinesse versión 2.0.34.2
I want to see the manual laps during the running activity. I know in the mobile app it's possible.
It's not normal to activate de data LAp time , lap pace, lap distance in the app to see it during the activity but the watch show me only the last finished lap. I want to see the actual lap to see the pace for run faster or slower to do the lap in exactly pace , for example 4:04 the kilometre . NOW the watch show me the last lap and the date is fixed because the lap is finished. This information it's not useful

I'm interested in both functions, on the one hand see time and pace during de running activity, and on the other hand analyse data later in the amazfit app.
Anybody knows if that is posible with Stratos?

Hi,
I'm looking for the same (actual lap time and lap pace), but can't find how to have it. It seems not to be available yet with Stratos.
Is there a mod to have it ?
Another one looking for the same thing.
When i bought the watch (July 2018) the posibility of activate the fields was available in the app, even though the watch didn´t show anything.
Then, from one day to another, the options disapeared from the app.
¡This is really necesary to make quality training!
Lap watch rolling time does not restart
The question was about Lap rolling time on the watch not about the Phone app..
With a click on Lap button the the lap stop on the watch and never restart.
To do a lap training, athlete needs to see is Lap time running.
This behavior does not work on latest Stratos firmware.
Is there a way to got a fix for that.
Thank's

I think you didn't understand: you use the phone app to activate the display of the data fields on watch, one of them is the lap time..
You will see them when recording an activity on watch, obviously.

Lap time right now is a joke. Only shows the lap time the first lap, after that It shows the last time lap, not the actual lap time, It is useless.

That's true, on all standard watches a lap time stop a while and then restart rolling again. On the Amazfit watch it stay stopped and show only the previous lap time, that's useless.

this is a huge issue and renders the watch almost useless for me as a real time training guide. have you had any luck with working out a fix for it?
still not fixed with version 2.3.7.0

No idea, itwill be nice that we can contact Amazfit Stratos developers. But I do not have any link to them.

metric problem in sport mode

Ok will try to be clear;
I have the latest sw 2.3.4 on Stratos 2 installed
I passed my watch in metric using the app watch amazefit. No way to do it on the watch.
When doing a sport (e.g running) the distance is set in mile. Was confused first time.
When saved activitiy, the distance appear in KM in the app ... and also in the watch ..
So seems that it's only during the activity (only tested with running so far).
Anyone else..?
Thx
Change to miles, save, restart, change back to km and restart once more. If you see "mileage" on display, it actually doesn't change with units, read it as "distance".
thx
Works I have now the distance in KM in the watch during activities.
I ve notices a difference between strava and Xiaomi : strato 6km; strava 5,8km

[Stratos] Multiple GPS traces on the same map

Hello guyz,
Besides sports activities, I like to use the watch when I do city breaks so it might be very helpful for me to put several traces I do several days in a raw throughout the same city on the same map. For example, last weekend I was in Madrid and walked around 20 Kilometers every day. It will be nice to know how much of the center city area i just covered and what I missed. Anyone has any hints on this matter ?
Thank you !

Very strange desire
On which device?
One could export (gpx/tcx format) all the tracks and show it on PC using other software. Should also work with phone and 3rd party app like TwoNav or Locus but export is mandatory.

On the phone or laptop of course. The question is can you still download gpx/tcx tracks from the cloud ?
Export does not work from the cloud but from the database either on the device or on the phone (Amazfit app). For your question to be answered it would be helpful to specify which cloud you are talking about. My own solution consists of 2 steps:
1) Export tracks in tcx format from the device.
2) Show exported tracks with other software (as mentioned before) on Android phone or windows PC.
No cloud is involved in those steps.
