Is there a way to have the HR display stay on the face during a run or bike? If I'm on a hill I can't be messing with swiping so I just want to tap to turn it on then tap again for HR.
Some watch faces have the HR displayed all the time. Dont ask for the name of them because i cant remember but there are a few and maybe you should download the wear store app as it lists the watches insted of being unorganised like the play store

Thanks, I might give that a try. I went for a run yesterday and the HR was not very accurate when I was pounding on the road. On cool down it was fine. I'm assuming the jarring and arm movements were throwing it off. I really want it for biking and I'll try that later in the week. Once you start an activity it seems the HR will stay on along with your exercise stats but I'll find out more as the week progresses. One problem I see is it drained the watch battery from about 90% to 64% in an hour. If that's the case then I'll have to abandon the HR function on continuous basis, since a 4 hour ride would make the watch unusable, and simply track my activities with Strava. I'll play with it but it seems that this is more of a smart watch than fitness tracker. I actually bought it for fitness tracking and planned to return it if it didn't work as well as the about to be released Garmin Vivoactive HR band, but I since have fallen in love with the smart watch look and notifications features and will keep it no matter. Probably gonna cost me another $249 once the Garmin comes out but what the heck.
edit: I connected the Google Fit app and it's much better than the Moto Body. Battery drain not horrible during my gym workout today. Gave me HR readings every 5 while jumping rope and throughout the workout. I have to figure out how to stop the constant notifications once I reach my goal though. Still at 67% too after about 10 hours off charger.
I find that gf2 sleep tracking is really inaccurate. I've had the band for almost a week now and I can say so far it has never properly recorded my sleep for even 1 night.
- 1 time it just recorded as inactive the whole night
- I go to sleep at 11pm usually but the few times it recorded, it was several hours later
- sometimes when I take a noon nap it records but usually incomplete.
- today I woke up at 7am but I got a notification at 8.30 asking me to rate my sleep.
Coming from a fitbit charge hr, this band has been a major disappointment so far other than its prettier gfx.
Is my experience typical? Is there anything else I can do to make it more accurate? TIA
I find that my GF2 usually estimates the time I go to sleep accurately but usually thinks I got out of bed 10-15' later than I actually did. It always waits an hour or more before it shows the "how did you sleep" info though, for some mysterious reason.
I have been using the GearFit2 for some time, and find its working near perfect for me. For me I find the accuracy is better if the Fit is snug against the wrist.
This morning I got up at 4AM, and I checked the report, and it picked up my movement at 4am.
I also find that you should restart your device like once every two weeks.
I find the Fit 2 to be spot on - amazingly so.
Could be the fit to the wrist as mentioned above.
So I bought the pace model.
Did an interval workout on the treadmill, after I checked the app it measured 195 heartbeats/second. Which was nice and well becase i know thats where I end up at the end of those 4 minutes.
However, after that I did some strength training, and then finished off with some uphill walk on the treadmill where the treadmill measued 150 BPS, and my watch... 88 BPS. I know 150 is more accurate because my breath was around there.
After that, it hasnt been able to register anything over 110 BPS. Tried it for several workout sessions, still doesnt measure above 110. I tried factory reset.. doesnt change anything.
Someone else seen this?
I'm testing one amazfit and comparing with one garmin 630.
Amazfit measures correct just after 10 minutes of workout and then, after some minutes it measures wrong about a minute or two, and back to measure correct again.
Very bad algorithm.
Has nothing to do with bad algorithm.
Why do you guys think that there is no gym workout on the watch?
Because there is no known wrist hr sensor that is working correct for that.
Doing workouts means bending and flexing the wrist, which means that the sensor looses contact, which means inaccuracy .
And 90% of people that complain, have the sensor on a spot that is not really working.
Have seen very hairy guys complaining or people that have the watch "between the hand and the bone".
And make sure it is tight.

Holy crap, 195 beats PER SECOND!!?!! How are you still alive? Are you The Flash? Or possibly some kind of super smart hummingbird with an xda account (that would be cool).
Jokes aside, I also find the HRM on the Pace problematic.
It seems to work ok when you do "check now" as long as you stay still and its on tight. But whenever I use continuous HRM or do an activity like biking the reading seems to be about 20+ bps too high.
For example, I did "check now" just before a bike ride and got 65bpm, then again right after the ride and got 104bpm, but the bike activity recorded a starting heart rate of 84bpm and an ending rate of 134bpm.
yeah, sometimes my watch seems to measure my heart rate correctly, but other times it shows quite strange results.
I just finished indoor cycling workout. I used together Suunto Ambit watch with HR strap and Amazfit Pace. Amazfit HR data is useless. Here is merged image with both graphs.
Amazfit was tight, and my hand didn't moved to much. I tried several times to move hand on different positions to check is there any improvement, but without change.
Here is paralel graph (top is Suunto, bottom is Amazfit)
sometimes when physical exertion increases (when I go up a slope, for example) the heart beats are reduced.
The HR sensor in the pace seems about as accurate as someone guessing your heart rate from across the room.
Yes the bip is the same.
Absolute ****.
I've compared it with Polar watch + chest strap. There were differencies in the meassured pulse, however the average pulse for the trainings was very close on both devices. What is important for Peace, it has to be fastened very tightly on the wrist.

I have compared Amazit Pace (1.3.6d) with Garmin Chest Strap HR monitor and FR235 doing Interval training running, and to FR235 optical HR monitior doing indoor biking.
In both activities Amazit Pace worked inestable the first 10 min then worked showing nearly same HR thank Strap HR and optical HR monitors.
Amazfit Pace showed a sudden decrease in HR reading about the middle of activities (about 1 hour each) and then back to proper reading.
In summary, Amazfit Pace uses about 10 min to have proper HR values, and sometimes during the activity has sudden decreases in HR reading.
For the rest of activity it performs quite well.
but you know that you can pair amazfit with a heart rate monitor strap, for example Polar H7?
This is about the Pace, and that can't be paired with a strap.

oh, ok, i was talking about Stratos
heart rate sensor go crazy
I have the pace model too
sometimes (recently with more frequency) the heart rate sensor go crazy
yesterday, when i did an Indoor Run, he show the alert: "heart rate too low: 75", seconds after this, he show: "heart rate too high: 185", seconds after: "heart rate too low: 81", "heart rate too high: 172", etc etc.
Someone else seen this?
Someone know how to fix it?

Is the watch brand new? Do you sweat a lot? Check the cover of the HR sensor, some people that had used the watch while bathing/showering had problem with the cover getting loose.

I bought my pace in Feb/18 (3 months ago)
my sweat is near to zero
never bath/shower using it
the pace work well until one week ago, when i need to do a factory reset because something was draining the battery too fast (one charge in one night)
after the reset, the battery issue has gone, and the watch work well until yesterday (when the HR sensor issue start)
thinking about do one more factory reset... :fingers-crossed:
just to illustrate: HR (red) x Cadence (blue)

Same issue here, with every Rom update HR accuracy gets worse in Sports activities. Continuous HR monitor seems accurate when compared to my chest strap, but goes haywire and at least 50% off true when in Run Indoor and Cycle indoor. Elliptical seems to be accurate at least some of the time. Have factory reset many times but nothing seems to help.
Yesterday I realized that with new ROM update, Peace have option to connect to other Bluetooth sensor(s).
I tested it and it with cheap 20$ Bluetooth sensor and works nice.
Hi All,
Just got my GTR 47, very good looking & quality watch, when brightness is high the screen is spectacular with watch face that has 3D deep, for the sleep detection it does not detect when I am not sleeping, it find when I go to bed and wake up in the morning but between this I get up often at night to p and it did not detect that. anyone got this watch to better detect the sleep pattern. (compared to my fitbit blaze that was able to detect when I was not sleeping even if I was staying in bed).
thank you all.
I am currently on day 8 since last full charge.
AOD off.
Lift wrist to display off.
Total 5 days' gym workout comprises 43 sessions (with total 614 mins/5864 calories/60km run & walk).
Watch faces synced at least 30~40 times.
HR at 1-minute interval. Sleep assistant only enabled after day 5.
My GTR-2e is currently showing 54%. By calculation, I would expect it to last 17 days per single charge. It is much better than I earlier expected. Amazfit has not exaggerated on its claim that the watch can last for 24 days on typical use.
Hi, I wanted to ask if you know as I'm interested also to get it but searching online i couldn't find anything.
Does the GTR2e has rowing workout ?
I saw that it received an updated that increased the total supported workouts to 90 but i can't find anywhere a list with the supported workouts.
Thanks
I just checked. There is no rowing workout. My watch is updated.
Both indoor or outdoor rowing not available.

oh, thats a bummer.
Thank you for checking it.
Can you confirm that GTR2e can show AOD if lift to wake is active?
