Hi
I use my Amazfit Pace to record my cycling activity and upload it afterwards to strava, it works fine except for one issue: the heart monitoring is not accurate at all, no matter how tight I fasten the strap the readings are not reliable, and I would like to turn it off to improve battery life. I've seen that other activities _trail run and climbing- allow to turn PPG off, but not cycling. Why??

Hi guys, I am considering buying a Pace for running and was wondering how it does?
There is a post on here about the stratos saying it is floored as a sport tracker for the following issues, are these also true for the Pace?
Pace reading quickly fluctuating while running instead of being average over a few seconds.
poor altitude readings
poor hr readings
discrepancies between mileage recorded in the Amazfit app and when uploaded to Strava
Thanks!
I own a Pace and it perfectly fills my needs: built-in GPS, heart hate monitor (with option of continuous monitoring at expense of more battery drain), sleep monitor (only works by night), internal storage for use with music and Bluetooth phones, changeable bands, battery for more than a couple of days and a trans reflective display that is simply perfect under sunlight. I am not a pro, so I don't need precision below 10%. As it's a watch, it seems to me that most errors are due to how much the watch is tight on wrist and if you pause or not during the activity. This is an example of all the data it calculates (I was walking by the way, testing other things), what means it can improve or be fixed by future firmware updates.
Hi everyone.
Does amazfit has user modified training options like, intervals with own speed or time?
I have noticed that when the Amazfit BIP is connected to Iphone then strava, runtastic etc detect it as a bluetooth HRM and display heart rate for real time monitoring. But when doing the same on Android, none of these apps detect it. Anyone knows the reason
A lesser known app MotiFit connects on Android as HRM but not the better known fitness apps
HRM Amazfit BIP

I tried this several tmes with Strava, Runkeeper etc. But I can't connect it as a HRM on my Iphone 7+
Can you tell me what you did to make this work?
Hi all
Anyone had an experience with the continuous heart rate not showing in the amazfit app?
After re pairing the watch its no longer updating the app yet the watch shows all the data I have unpaired it twice now
Its a pace on the latest firmware the sync time is also miles out
Greetings. Over the holiday season, I received a Fossil Gen 5 Smartwatch. One issue I am encountering is with GPS functionality when the watch is not connected to WIFI or connected to the phone via BLUETOOTH. This happens for example when I go out on a run.
My current procedure entails turning WIFI and BLUETOOTH on the Fossil watch off, and placing the watch outside while I wait for the Google Fit app to acquire a GPS signal. This typically takes 3-5 minutes. Then, once the GPS signal is acquired, it tends to toggle back and forth between "GPS Acquired" and "Acquiring GPS". This intermittent GPS connectivity tends to cause some very unusual map generation at the end of the activity, and I also call into question the distance measurement of the app. Is it switching over to the pedometer method of counting steps when the watch does not have GPS connectivity?
Has anyone else experienced issues with GPS connectivity with their Fossil Gen 5 Smartwatch? Has anyone been able to improve GPS performance?
Smartwatches are the new cool gadget in the market; it lets you carry your world on your wrist!

Yes I am having problems. I use Strava for running and cycling. It tracks my rides fine, but I think that's because I have my phone with me. When I go for a run without my phone Strava hasn't recorded one correctly. I have started using Nike Run Club for runs because of this and it seems to be OK, so I am not sure if it is a Strava issue or not.
Sometimes using the Nike app it has the right distance but segments are not showing on the map when I've finished so maybe it isn't. Didn't have any problems when using my Huawei Watch 2.
Hello community! I would like to ask some. I use a spinning bike at home. Does the app of amazfit stratos 3 allows you to modify the measurements or to add km, cadence,speed at your workout?

Helllo! I also bought this watch for cycling training mainly but I found it to be a scam! The watch has 80 sports without being able to display data for all of them, it just boasts that it has many sports. The main problem with cycling is that it does not recognize the Cadence And Speed sensors. The above sensors are the main cause of indoor measurement. Cadence is also an important element for cyclists. Another nonsense that this watch has is that it tries to locate GPS in the internal cycling profile, for what reason?
Has anyone connected Bluetooth Cadence and Speed sensors to the watch?
I imagine NO !!!
