Mine is arriving from Amazon tomorrow. Looking forward to setting it up. One question has arisen from research on the watch: I see references to the Amazfit Bip, Amazfit Bip Lite and Amazfit Bip Youth. Is there a difference?
Nope. There is no difference. They are all the same, just called different things

Just picked up a cheap bluetooth HRM. Wondering if anyone has experience with them and the G Watch? Any apps that will allow you to pair directly with the watch for phone free heart rate tracking? I play racquetball in the mornings too. Can any one comment on how well the HRM might work with my phone being right outside the glass?
Only solutions I have seen looks like requires all 3. The watch, the HRM, and the phone. The phone runs the app and then sends the info to the watch it seems.

Yes. I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pnn.android.sport_gear_tracker together with a Polar H7. It has a phone and watch app.
- Install app
- On phone: Search and link to bluetooth HRM (do not pair).
-> if you start "workout" on phone, phone communicates with HRM
-> if you start the "workout" through the app on the watch, the watch communicates with HRM and shares info to phone (but continues to work when phone is out of range). When phone is in range, it will upload the results to the phone.
Hi everyone,
I bought my Stratos about 3 weeks ago and all the time I've been using it I see the same issue. I have iPhone SE with AirPods. The same iPhone is paired with my Stratos. Once I connect AirPods to this iPhone, my Stratos start draining their battery. They use about 1% per two-tree hours in a regular case but once I connect AirPods to iPhone they start using about 1-1.5% per one hour. The only way to stop the battery draining on my Stratos is to reboot both iPhone and Stratos. I tried to reset my watches, unpair and pair both Stratos and AirPods with iPhone but with no luck.
I've never faced such an issue with other my BT headsets or sound devices and I've no idea how to fix this issue.
Same here with iPhone 5 or SE, UE Boom or TaoTronics BT Headset and Pace.
It won't work as it should. Huawei is using some of their "innovative" methods of pairing the watch with the phone.
But in case of Moto Z2 Play, it does not want to reconnect automatically most of the times when connection drops because of out of BT range .
It does not even appear under Bluetooth devices list when trying to pair it without using "Huawei Health" app.
That said, if someone wants great, classy looking smartwatch I highly recommend Fossil Q line of watches.
Beautiful, battery life is counted in months and really well built.
Hi!
Are there any Stratos 3 owners that have a heart rate monitor strap which works together with the watch?
I have a Polar H7 which I read it works with the Stratos 2. But I have not managed to connect it to the watch
Today I got the H7 working. Didn't do anything different from when I tried yesterday. It just connected and tested it for a little walk and it was fine.
Not sure what to blame here if the strap or the watch. Let's see how reliable it is over time
Hi. I have Suunto smart sensor. And it works just fine with stratos 3.
Hi!
I have been using my stratos 3 with an external HRM strap (Polar H7) and that works great. I have also read that it is possible to use also the Bluetooth headphones at the same time for music (although I have not tried this yet)
My question is if it is possible to use two external Bluetooth devices at the same time? E.g. the HRM + a cadence sensor for biking. I was planning to buy a cadence sensor since I saw it is supported in bike workouts, but I won't do it if it can't be used together with the HRM strap.
Thanks

Unfortunately I can't answer your questen. But perhaps you can help me. I'm using the Polar OH1 as external HRM sensor together with the Stratos 3. This works great too. But I'm a bit conserned about battery life. One hour running with the OH1 costs nearly 25% battery. That means that I have a total time of about 4 hours for work outs. That's ok for training, but not enough for a marathon or so (at least with my pace)
Do you have other experiances or tricks with the H7?

1. BT headphones + BT HR chest monitor = Yes.
2. BT Cadence sensors = No.

I had read that the first Stratos was also using a lot of battery if used with external HRM. It is not the case for me with the H7, I run twice per week 30min each and I get 7-8 days battery life. So it might be related to your HRM, it would be worth testing your Stratos with another HRM

Thanks, that is a pity. I don't know why I thought the cadence sensors were already supported in the previous Stratos. I might have misread it somewhere
