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

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?
I have Mi pulse and a MIO FUSE activity trackers. Is there any application which periodically checks the heart rate and report the result to google fit. most of the apps I found tracks the heart rate while in a activity but does not track in other times.
I tried "Heart Rate OS app" but it even did not ask me to pair my devices.
Any help would be appriciated

HROS2 was built for Android Wear devices, in which case the watch is already paired with the phone.
You may want to search for apps built for you device(s). There's a caveat, though. There is a ton of interconnectivity that people want that doesn't exist yet
I am planning to purchase the Stratos. But I still have some questions.
I want the watch mostly for tracking my gym workouts and bicycle rides. But I did not find a gym or bootcamp sports program. How can I track this?
There is all the workout data stored? Is there a website or do I have the history in the app? How much workout history can be stored on the watch itself? Is google fit sync working?
Whats the thickness and diameter? Is it possible to sleep with?
I hope this is the right forum, thanks in advance!
There any way to integrate additional Sport Modes? I see there Football, Swimming, Cycling, etc. But no program for Sailing and for Rowing.
1. There is no "Stratos 2", it doesn't exist...
2. Most "unsupported" activities work fine with Elliptical: it will record time, HR and calories.
3. For requests to manufacturer, if you have an international model: https://support.amazfit.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
I bought this watch a couple of days back since my TomTom conked and found it to be a good piece of hardware.
but in the same breath I must tell you its terribly disappointing that there is no option to export indoor sports data like treadmill running to either Strava and then sync to endomondo or endomondo directly.
If there was a option to sync to endomondo it would have been ideal. Now I dont know wht to do to track my treadmill runs after having bought this watch without knowing even something useless and primitive like strava wont have indoor sports data option.
Any ideas to export indoor data to any sports app so i can sync to endomondo ?
I am just frustrated trying different options. have no other way out than return this.
You can do it manually or automatically (almost, you just need to connect the watch to computer and extract the data), search for AmazeBackup, FitnessSyncer and online storage sync.
Hi,
If you're using the Amazfit Watch app from Google Play it can connect to Strava.

Only for GPS based workouts. Not for indoor.....
Have you found a solution?
