Hello everyone,
I'm going to buy Verge but I have some doubts. I hope you will help me:
1. I know that in lite version You can't control music during active training. But what about "not lite" Verge version? Am I able swtich between training and music control? Or at first turn on music (mp3 on watch itself) and then start training?
2. Am I able to control Spotify app on smartphone?
Best regards,
Lukasz
1. Only if you use AV2P Bluetooth headphones, as latest Chinese firmware for Verge, there is no music control during activities like the one available for Pace/Stratos;
2. Yes, if you enable Music control in Amazfit Watch app and you keep the phone with you and connected to the watch, of course. But, again, you cannot control music this way during sports activities.
Verge isn't the best option for sports:
1. Battery life is shorter if compared to Pace/Stratos mainly due to AMOLED display, what also makes it harder to read outdoors during the day unless you use maximum brightness;
2. It is all plastic and IP68 (although I doubt it due to the openings for both mic and speaker);
3. Custom straps are hard to find because it does not use an standard format, although they have the quick-release mechanism.
Thx for reply.
Yes but I can play music before trening start, and this is OK for me (I got Verge since friday). I made 2 trainings and for now only drawback is brightness, it could be better. But I run at evening mostly.
I found some offers for straps on Ali, and I am wating for delivery.
Generaly I am realy happy. Verge is not perfect but if You consider price/value ratio it is best choise im my opinion.
What the heck, Huami? And I thought I was doing something wrong or overlooking something. Why would you not make music controllable on the Verge during an activity when it is possible on Stratos / Pace?? That's frustrating.
I got weird interrupts when playing music over BT while running with GPS on and using Polar BT HR band. Every 20 to 60 seconds the music has little pauses. This happens with MPow DS6 headphones. Has anyone else this?

Really, what I want in my android wear device is
1. The time
2. my notifications (incoming calls, sms, email, alarms, etc)
3. Weather
4. a dialer to remotely call with my phone
Most of the other features are useless to me. However I do like Sony's smartband, and it's sleep alarm feature that will gently wake you up as you sleep. Are there any addons for watches that will do this?
I also want a high quality BT headset to pair with my phone.
Having nto paid enough attention to tech these past few years, what should I be getting?
never realized it is so many. I just want one that you can take calls on it and reply to text with voice. I don't care about the other things like your heart rate. But I got that feeling that is like asking for a HDTV without the Smart capabilities.
jaybird bt headphones the best...but i have noticed that the sound is inferior with the nexus 6 vs opo or motoX maybe lack of aptx
I am trying to find ways to save battery life while using gear fit 2 as my GPS running watch and Mp3 player. Gear fit 2 losses about 50% in an hour while keeping the display turned off.
I was wondering that this huge battery drain may be because of the watch trying to find my phone since Bluetooth is still turned on. Is there anyway to keep my watch connected to my Bluetooth headphones but stop my watch from trying to find my phone.
Also, any other tips and tricks to help with battery life during runs would really be appreciated. Thanks
That happens with mine too.
I don't think there is anything we can do. While jogging, the watch has bluetooth on to stream music to headphones while checking heartrate and GPS location constantly.
I'm going to fire up my old iPod shuffle and use it on my next run to see how much longer the watch will last without the music player.

Thanks for your reply, from my experience I have concluded that Bluetooth streaming is a bigger battery drain.
Please share your findings as well.
I've just bought an Amazfit pace (international version) and love it. One thing I keep seeing in online forums is that it supports audio lap alerts when running and connected to a bluetooth headset. I cannot get this to work on mine and cannot seem to find a definitive answer on whether or not this actually works. I've only ran twice with the watch (both times playing music via bluetooth earphones and leaving my phone at home) but just get a vibration and an on screen message showing me my pace for the last km. (I've turned on the Lap Alert setting).
Is there anything I'm doing wrong or does this feature actually exist?
Also just to add to this, I noticed the pace alert only seems to work if I have my wrist raised (backlight turns on). Should this not always work?
Is there a way to control music player on the phone while any sport activity is active?
You cannot acees to the notificiations with music controls when sport is active, you can use Watchdroid with "running when unlocked" option checked, but Watchdroid usually stops sport activity. In sport activity you can acces to the rightmost screen where is internal player but for this kind of listening you need BT headset.. Any idea? I am using Pace mostly for tracking my runs..

I'm having the same problem. Did you figure out a way to control music player? An older version of OS, it was possible to control musics while in activity, after the new updates, this control is gone.
Latest International firmware for Stratos (I think Chinese too, but no one uses it outside China as it doesn't support other languages), which is 2.3.8.0 as of now, as well as latest Chinese firmware for Pace (2.6.5.0 as of now) brought back music control as the far right screen when recording activities. It should come back to Pace INTL version soon. In the mean time, you can either use headphones that support A2DP protocol or use a floating music player (not the best solution, just a workaround).
has anyone figured this out yet? my old watch was a gear 2 neo running android wear and the screen could be set to default to the music controls when the phone was bluetoothing music to anything. This seems like such a no brainer functionality to have, its absurd that tizen (samsung) hasnt figured it out yet that when people are listening to music, that theyd want the option to have the screen default to this
This feature was added in the latest Pace update!
Hello!
I am searching for a smartwatch. I saw the GTR and it looks perfect. The specific are all I need and the look is good.
What I would like to see from my watch:
Style for suit and gym
HR when I am power walking, having break on gym
Change to skip songs from it (not the must)
Steps and calories
Sleep and stress
All seemed to be perfect and the aim was gtr 47mm, but then I saw issues with the watch about the GPS and hr. The GPS is no problem, I don't need to track my road meeter by meeter. But how accurate is the hr ?
Is this watch for me or should I go with other watch other brand?

If you don't care the gps, you can choose the lite version. You save some money!
For all other request is ok
