I go for long bicycle rides (30 miles +/-) and use Endomondo to keep track of distance, calories, speed, etc. It updates all this information regularly with computer-generated voice and I can hear it through my earphones. One thing Endomondo doesn't do is tell me what time it is. I wear wrist braces because of my history of carpal tunnel problems, so the only way I have for telling time right now is to strap my watch onto the handlebars. Does anyone know if there is an app that will tell me the time at regular intervals? Thanks.
If you are rooted, you can use Tasker to do this, I believe the "Say" command is listed under "Misc" and you can set up a task to say the time at any desired interval. You could even set it up to begin when Endomondo starts and stop when it exits.

Sounds perfect. I'll take a look at Tasker. Thanks!
Edit - Tasker looks like a very useful tool. It also clearly has a learning curve. This will take time, but it could be fun.
I am running the latest official international rom (1.3.4f). Was wondering if anyone is having accuracy issues with the indoor modes that do not use GPS. I tried the treadmill run last night and completed 4km according to the treadmill in the gym but only 2.7km according to my watch.
I also have an issue with trying to sync this activity. All of my other walk activities before the indoor run synced properly and all of my walk activities synced today. I get a partial sync failed error in the app, so I am guessing this activity is the issue for some reason as everthing else is being synced properly. Anyone have a similar issue.
Other than this I am extremely pleased with the watch and its accuracy for GPS related activities and the HR monitor data.
Thanks
Edit: just completed another indoor run and noticed a neat little feature that I missed in my first indoor run. When you stop and save the run there is a little button labelled "calibrate" that allows you to update the distance you have actually run. I don't know if this then updates the algorithm for future but it at least keeps each indoor run accurate.
Maybe this was the issue with the first run not syncing
Treadmill: How do you think the watch is measuring that?
It counts your steps and takes your walking stride length. That can't be anywhere near the reality.
Sync: partial sync error occur sometime, just try again.

I knew that it was calculating steps that way but the algorithm seems out by quite a bit. If I was to scale that up to a bigger run then it would be out by a larger margin. It should allow you to either enter stride or base it on an average stride for that activity based on age, height and weight.
Just for info for anyone else. It was the run indoor activity that was causing the sync issues. I was getting the message everything until I deleted the run activity from the watch. Will try another indoor run in the hope that this is a one off.
This has been bothering me for a long time! I'm not sure that I feel better or worse finding out that others are seeing the same thing.
When I run on a treadmill, the reported mileage on my watch is always way less than what the treadmill says. This morning, my Amazfit Pace told me I ran 2.7 miles, while the treadmill reported way above 4 miles.
Is there a way to adjust the stride length that the watch uses?
Hello, I'd like to ask you how to solve the issue with one missing activity in my android Amazfit app. I have Amazfit Pace watches for 1 month and never had issue with syncing so far. I did running up to 1 hour, cycling up to 2 hours, but on Saturday I had road bike race for 110 km (over 4 hours) and I don't see this activity in my app. I can see it on my watches though, I see everything, including map and gps data. I tried syncing multiple times. I also did short bike activity today, on my way to work, and I can see it on my phone. I also tried to select this activity on my watches and then click "export", it says "exporting, please wait for a while", I left it for 1 hour, nothing happened. So does Amazfit Pace have problem with longer activities? How can I solve this issue, any tips?
Edit: I forgot to mention that I have the latest version of android app and watches as well.
Try AmazeBackup, it exports data from watch directly to TCX/GPX.
Is there any way to show Avg Pace on the screen during running on Amazfit Bip?

same thing here
even though I am using Notify and fitness, I can not change actual pace to average pace..
i looked like a snail
I think if you press the hardware button on the side once during a run, the screen changes to a screen with average pace, cadence and stride on it, if you press it again it goes to altitude, then again goes back to the main screen.
Not ideal as I'd like average pace, time and dist shown together but at least you should be able to view the data you want.
I've only just got mine, so that is how I think it works but will be able to confirm when I've done another run!
Hi there
I've an Amazefit Pace International Version with all updates till today. Already reset the device, unpair and paired again but the problem subsists.
After walking/running no matter the distance, when i close the activity, there is no problem sincyng the data syncs to the app amazefit, but, after when syncing to Strava, the distance that apears is inferior by a large diference from the amazefit app..
Exemple: Running 25Km. When sync to amazefit app the distance its correct but then when sync to strava the distance its shortened to 23K. Its not few meter but Km in some cases..
Does anyone had this problem before?
Strava will always recalculate and smooth the track, so it will never show the same value, specially with bad GPS signal or a lot of noise. If it is important to you, then you can try:
1. Disable auto pause and 3D data in activity settings;
2. Change the activity to "race" once it is imported to Strava.
My stratos have 3D and auto pause off and still apear on Strava such a big difference from amazfit

Hi there,
i have the same problem with Pace and last stock rom , i tested climbing and trail running, when sync to strava i have big distance difference. For example 16,13 km on Pace and 14,35 on strava. The 3D data and auto pause off.
Any suggestion? Thanks.
I've seen a few occasions where the end point on Strava is shorter than the end point recorded on my watch.
When this happens I delete the Strava activity, export the GPX track from the watch, then manully upload the GPX to Strava and so far this has fixed the problem.
I had to do this yesterday as the first upload via Amazfit sync was 2 miles short.
The distance on Strava is correct, compared with other gps in same activity. The Pace calculate and show the wrong data. Even uploading on strava the exported gpx file from Pace, i have the same result.
Time is shortened
Hi, I just made a test.
3D and auto stop was OFF.
Auto stop could be good but it is just for fun not normally usable for sport. 3D is interesting but I cant check what it really count. If you want to compare with map or others it is messy. Better to check altitude gain.
RUN TEST:
Watch (Stratos) and APP shows all OK. Distance, pauses, laps. It correspond to the reality.
STRAVA:
- Thinks all stops (not mooving) are pauses! Shortened the run about 40 minutes!
- No manual pauses shown and not possible to see them.
- No laps are shown.
When I switched to RUN/RACE WALK or BIKE, mode on Strava, it then calculate also stops to the time. Better.
- But the manual pauses was calculated also! It does not make a sense. And whats more, it think you made a hyperjump to other place of speed of light! Nice PACE than
In the result is is totally unusable. If you do not use manual pauses, you can can you RUN/RACE mode.
Whats more. If you want to find some place on the map and check time - time when you was there:
- Amazfit APP: not possible to track on the map! Why? You can check on the graph but you dont now where is it.
- Strava: Yes, but only on PC! not in the phone APP, it is nice, but if you have pauses, it is hard to understand.
- GPX export: Over USB and PC it is really not quick method.
Result is, that on the mobile APP you are not able chack position and time on map ever! Thats Amazfit watch.
- GPX export: Over USB and PC it is really not quick method.
1 export gpx on watch
2 amazmod file explorer download (to amazmod folder android)
3 mail to pc
4 manually add activity in strava from file.
Note this only resolves the amazfit App bug that terminates run to strava early (normally when route crosses). FW 2.3.9.0 inability to quickly re-acquire GPS after running under bridges etc will not be fixed.
The difference is easy to spot if the route is correct on the watch then GPX export will resolve.
Disabling 3D worked for me, thx!
the same is the problem with me. what is the solution?

I had the same problem. For example, I stopped the run at 15km, and pace showed it properly. Then it synced to Strava, the distance was reduced to 12km, with the ending point being 3kms back, way before i actually stopped the activity. I checked altitude data in it just went dead after the 12km, so i guess this is a bug (altitude data goes dead and the watch just stops the activity, even though it still shows you data screen like it's recording). I tried to download gpx from the watch and upload it to Strava manually, which sometimes worked, but sometimes didn't. In some occasions, I also noticed that while amazfit app showed the correct distance, the activity map showed the activity ending flag way before the gps line stopped.
My solution: Power off the watch, wait 10 secs at least then turn it on before each activity. This was the only way for now that reliably worked. I sucpect this is a software issue from the last Pace update, since itnever happened before.
I have the same problem. My Stratos automatically send my Morning Ride with shorter track than I ride (22.5km). After that I export my track to GPX in Stratos device and I have full track of my Morning_Ride (24.7km). It looks, that problem is in synchronization Stratos <> Strava. What is the solution for this problem?
Hi,
I have a pace smartwatch and when i look into the gpx data it's starting after 1km when the watch finally record altitude. So I can't even manually charge the run onto strava with the GPX file. Any idea how to make proper GPS record or to make the altitude work from the first step ?
Maybe it's because I started running right after the GPS tracking was ok but the watch does not tell you the altitude recording is still not possible.
