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

Hi everybody from Quebec city
My Bip watch is is with firmware 0.1.0.86
How could I show the record tracking on my walking on Google earth or other ?
I'm on Mac and I have a android phone to "sync" with Mi-Fit and Notify & Fitness app install
(android 5.X)
You can export the .tcx file on Notify and Fitness app, then import it into whatever mapping software you want.
How?
Seem we have many version of Notify and Fitness. What is the version I need and where do I "extract" GPS tracking ?
Thanks in advance

You have 4 choices : Google fit, Export tcx, Strava or RunKeeper
Big Thanks

You sadly can´t - so I sold my iPhone X and bought an Android phone
Now I can sync any TCX file with or without GPS to Endomondo etc. or directly to Strava from Notify & Fitness and from there automatically to most other platforms through the website Tapiriik.
FREE
I guess everybory already spent their money on the Notify and Fitness Pro.
But for those who want to know, i have found a Free Way.
Install these apps: Gadgetbridge and GPX Viewer.
In Gadgetbridge you will open the activity and choose the GPX Viewer.
And that's it. Now your .gpx file is in the GPX Viewer folder.
(Gadgetbridge is still a work in progress, but i succeeded here)
Hi,
for those using Notify & Fitness. I also use this app, but I have observed a problem in the 1st km statistics when running. Strava will show between 30-40 seconds less for first km compared to what the watch shows, or what you can see in Mi Fit or Notify.
When I export activity to tcx file, I see that first tracking points, aproximately first 200-300 meters, always has same time stamp, and that is causing problems in Strava. So far I dont know if this is a problem of how Notify & Fitness export data, or is the watch that is doing it wrong, any idea?
Thanks
iPhone/ iPad supported !

Found 'AmazTools' in the Apple App store recently, and it works well on latest BIP s/w version !! Including GPX/ Strava/ loads of WatchFaces, and extra button functions. Give it a try!

Thanks, it's still working, but I had to set in Mi Fit my Amazfit Bip as visible BT device, then pairing with Gadgetbridge was ok.

Trying N&T i get a slight difference, here are stats :
- mi fit : 3.87kms / 14min43sec
- N&T : 3.88kms / 15min03sec
- Strava : 3.87kms / 14min17sec
Haven't much other tracks, i'll try, is it alike what you experienced..?

Hello @Vinicius_Gonzo
That kind of offset : see attachment
I didn't used gpx viewer but took directly gpx file from Android/data/ee.aegrel.gadgetbridge/files
Thx
Hi,
What's the easiest way to export GPS data to a PC? I have Android phone, not iOS.
Also, how long will be battery last with GPS recording? What's the record frequency (1 pt per second, etc)? And how much data can it hold (e.g. 10 hours)?
Thanks
Hi, have you found a solution? I will only use gadgetbridge and not mi-fit (data-collector)
Hi !! Have you try to use ZEPP App for connect AMAZFIT BIT to Strava ??
Thanks for the tip, it works just fine, I have a question though: the workouts in Gadgetbridge are all off by 1 hour, so my Strava runs aren't in sync with my friend' tracks, have you met this isuue?
Hello,
I just received my Stratos English Version and was trying to sync my activity with Strava. The Accounts are linked into the Amazfit Watch App, but no sync happen. I tried with Walk, Run, nothing happen.
I also tried to pair MiFit App with Amazfit Watch, but also, nothing happen, it simply opens Amazfit Watch app and no pairing is happening.
I wanted this pair to be able to sync Steps with Apple health. I read that on the pace, the firmware needed to be Chinese ?
Thanks in advance
So I solved one of the 2 problems ..... I saw that my 2 IDs were different in Mi fit and amazfit, so I created account again this time with google sign in. I have the same account ID on both apps.
The sync to Strava is working, but I still cannot pair with Mifit ....
You will not be able to pair International version with MiFit. Only Chinese version pairs with MiFit, but it does not have Strava.
is there a way to extract and sync steps with apple health on the international version ?
I have my Pace synced with both MiFit and Amazfit international versions, I've used a Google account as well. You may need to activate apps listing to fire up "BLE connect" to show the QR code to pair without reseting the watch (unpairing in Amazfit app will reset the watch). Or, if doesn't work, install the Chinese version to pair watch, then remove, then go to international version again (may be complicated on iOS, I did this on Android).
when I put the chinese version of amazfit, it cannot read the QR Code .... it put always scan failed

There are apps and tutorials about it elsewhere, but basically you push an empty text file named "launcher_config.ini" to /sdcard/ on watch. You can also use a third party launcher as QuickLauncher as well, or any other method to open the app, of course.

I think it is different on the stratos, because I cannot see a sd card folder on the watch

Even with a different account and/or after resetting the watch?
Yes, I log in the International version with Google, in the chinese version I have a xiaomi Account with a different User ID.
I tried to reset the watch, delete the bluetooth profile in the phone.does not matter, always a pair error.
May be they have disabled the ability to pair an international watch with the chinese amazfit ?

I don't know, I have a Pace, but it worked. Try creating a new account for the CN version, sometimes it lets it pair again.

Sorry I forgot to mention this, but I had set the region to China !
on IOS to switch to China version of the Amazfit software, you simply have to switch Region of the iPhone
Hi,
Can you tell me the diameter of the watch ? I can not see this specification nowhere ???
the overall diameter is about 47mm ... If you want one, I can sell you mine, the sport integration is not complete enough for me.... I'm living 80 kms from you
What a shame I ordered one just 4 days ago from AlliExpress
I have also a Fenix3, complete for sport but a little too big for daily use
To Scan the QR Code I had to dowload the Chineese version App on Store. QR code was not detected with the EN/EU version App.
Worked for me English version with English app.
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.
I purchased a Bip first, and subsequently upgraded and acquired a Stratos. I just didn't have the heart to sell off the Bip. In retrospect, I think that was a wise decision.
I have an Android handset. I find that both the Mi Fit as well as Amazfit Watch app for Android leaves a lot to be desired. Both are horribly slow to sync with the watch. At times, I feel like something has gone wrong. In comparison, Notify & Fitness for Amazfit is heads and shoulders better. Also, the data remains locally in the phone, and not get transmitted to some server in mainland China. But for the app to work with my Stratos, I have to compulsorily install the Amazfit Watch app for the QR code to be scanned and paired by the phone. Seems a bummer, as I have to install two different apps for the same job.
Is there any way of altogether bypassing the Mi Fit or Amazfit Watch app for Stratos to work similarly?
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.

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. ..
