Time error sync with Strava - Amazfit

Hi - I have new Amazfit GTR 42. All seems correct on the watch and in the App (android) when I record a run. However when this syncs to Strava I get a very slightly reduced distance (say, 30m, so no biggie) but a significant difference in time - much less than run so I look like I ran very much faster over the distance. This has happened on the first few runs and is not the same amount each time but is always a significant amount (several minutes in a 5km run).
For information, the Pace graphic on Strava shows as very erratic while I can attest that the run was quite consistent.
Any ideas how to resolve?
Thank you!

I have the same issue on my GTR 47mm, firmware v1.3.5.77. The "Moving Time" in Strava is totally off and the calculated pace shows that I was running very fast... too fast. The "Exercise time" and "Avg pace" in Amazfit app shows a more realistic representation of my run. GPS accuracy is a separate complain I have about this watch.
According to Amazfit Support (Kudos for the detailed reply!), if you go to Strava browser view of the workout, you will notice that the "Elapsed Time" is the same as the Amazfit app "Moving Time". The error in Strava's "Moving Time" is due to the way it interprets the workout GPX data. Apparently Strava thinks there were a lot of pauses/rests in my workout and so reports a shorter Moving Time. Pace is calculated based on the Moving Time and so result in a fast pace.
However there is no fix for this and Amazfit just says it is a matter of how an application interprets the GPX workout export. ??? I do not think that is an acceptable answer as I did not have this issue with my Pace and Stratos in the past. Why only in GTR?? I suspect GTR is trying to save battery and records GPS readings with larger gaps in between, just my guess.
If this issue remains, I would strongly advice against buying GTR as a watch for runners.

GTR to Strava
That’s a shame! Begs the question then of how worthwhile the watch is for other activities too.
My other comment is as to how poor Strava support is. They have not even bothered to reply

I attest this statement. I may have written 20-30 emails and I seldom get response.

It is getting worst
Strava now thinks I run at 11 s/km pace

This problem is not applicable to GTR only. It affects at least GTS and T-Rex users as well (as testified in this forum). I got the problem on the same morning I updated my Amazfit App in late June. So I would guess it affects everyone using the current version of Amazfit App.

The issue us not limited to GTR; it's with GTS, T-Rex, Sometimes with Stratos 3
Thankfully, this is not seen in Pace or Stratos 3 as of now.

I have the same problem. It was ok until 3 weeks ago. Now the moving time, speed and other parameteres are totally off

Me too and Strava support is terrible, my pace 11s/km and my run is not count in any challenge

Same problems on my GTR. Do you have any idea to fix it??

See the differences, can you???
I like to break record's, be calm the f*#% down!

Same issue since last update.
I'm tired of this ****ty watch.

For me nothing to do with thé watch. Algorithme that calculate distance are différent. Perhaps amazfit uses 3d correction not strava. For my run if tonight I have 11,63km in Strava and 11.62 in amazfit. All good for me

Guys, Do you auto-sync in Strava ?
I opened a thread concerning Time, Distance, Average speed datas between Stratos 3 and Strava.
When i auto-sync the watch, the Time, Distance, Average speed are different (loosing 2km/h on my commute)..but if i manually sync (recording on the watch then upload the ride in Strava) Time, Distance, Average speed are better when i compare to my Garmin 1000.

Seem problem solved after update to lastest zepp app. Strava sync time is ok

Amazfit GPS drifting problem, findout the reason.

I and all you guys may met that problems many times before, and after doing many test I can see the cause of the problem. This time I show you one case I have just done it few hours ago:
- First I'm using iphone (but it not effect to the test)
- Amazfit app, change to us verson (simple just change the region to my country), so it will sync the activity to Strava.
- Watch Rom: us official 1.3.3a (the result is the same with dev PACEfied rom)
- Do the ride test around, with many turn.
- Sync the activity to Strava, go to strava export TCX file.
- Export TCX file directly from the watch. (How to)
****Okay, now compare:
Strava activity link: https://www.strava.com/activities/1068275813
TCX file export from strava and watch (see attachment files)
How to compare: import TCX files to this size: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map_input?form=google
The result you can see at pictures attachment.
****Conclusion:
- The original GPS file from the watch is very good, no drifting at all.
- After syncing to Strava, GPS route change alot, drifting happens.
- So the issue here is the step "syncing to Strava"
****Solution:
I have no solution, because I am not the engineer from Huami, I hope people from Huami/Xiaomi see this post and will fix this problem. I have read many feedback from Amazon, Facebook group that they have to give back the watch because the drifting problem. Maybe Strava is not fair to change something when syncing (my thinking). The watch is really good but this problem made many people disappointed.
It is "easy" to spot what happens.
while the Amazfit saves the coordinates with 15 decimal places Strava uses only 6 ( and adds a 0 ).
If we take the first entry
Amazfit:

You can see that there is a difference, but a small one ( ~13cm )
If you then go to
Amazfit:

Here the difference is ~10.8 meters.
so you want to tell me that the watch is very precise and Strava is castrating down the results ?!?!?!!
I have installed the python scripts and extracted the data to GPX files.
One of them I uploaded to Strava and then re downloaded it again.
And the downloaded one was with Single precision.
But it was only off on a few points in a 12.5 Km run.
So it is a combination of Strava storing everything as a single ( not double ) .
But even there the data from the Amazfit was drifting, but it was a run through a forest.
If it was only for the precision it wouldn't really matter that much ( maximum of ~0.5 meters ).
So it seems that
1 - The Amazfit is drifting, and
2 - the upload to Strava sometimes does a strange "correction" to the data.
Thanks a lot Trần :good: this has been reported to the team and we are looking into it.

Just my thinking, the problem happened when syncing to Strava, and we got the bad final result.

Sorry for my bad, I dont follow your words (Single precision and Double), are you using your record or my files? Maybe it better with picture, thanks.

Thank you so much for your responding! :good:
Single/double Precision is a programming/computing term.
Compared to Double they have a smaller range and therefore are easier to store, but not as accurate.

If netzkobold said that it was reported to the team, trust me, Huami are working on it.
I also have this problem. The drift is sometimes 20+ meters from the road so some Strava segments are not captured. I have downloaded the raw data from the watch (gpx file via python script) and uploaded that manually to Strava and it is perfect. Definitely something is happening when you sync to Strava via the Amazfit app. I can upload my files if anyone is interested.

[Amazfit Bip] how to use as heart rate monitor with Endomondo

Hi,
Is there any chance to use Amazfit Bip as a heart rate monitor for Endomondo training? I was looking for any answer and i didnt find it. Mi Band 2 works perfect with Tools & Mi Band app. Now I have Amazfit Bip, I tried Mi Fit, Amazfit Tools and Notify & Fitness for Amazfit apps - Endomondo still doesn't see Bip as heart rate monitor. Bluetooth is set to visible in Mi Fit app. Any idea how can i fix it? Thanks.
PS. Sorry for my english, it's far for good i think

Hello! I know the last reply was sent some months ago but I thought I would comment anyway...
I have tried the method mentioned in this thread for connecting a Mi Band 1S so I could use the hearth rate sensor in Endomondo but also had no luck. After some try-and-fail, I noticed that this method does work with Endomondo versions up to 18.4. Later versions seemingly don't detect the Xiaomi devices so at least for the time being an slightly old version of Endomondo must be used, which can be downloaded from sites such as APKMirror.

Amazfit 2 stratos interval workout stop

Hi everybody
I bought the amazfit 2 and had a few difficulties with interval workouts.
After i set a training in my phone app and synced it to the watch i went for a run.
In most times the training stop and wont continue to the next lap/interval/repeat/segment and i have to stop the activity and start a new running activity.
Does anyone had this problem and can help me work it out ?
Same problem here
I am having the exact same problem here. Doing interval training, set to trigger on a given distance. After the second or third interval repeat the watch get stuck and the next interval never starts, forcing me to save the activity and start a new one. This is really not ideal. I was using a BT HRM, wondering if that might be contributing to the issue ?
First of all, there is no Stratos 2:
Stratos is Huami Sports Watch 2, or simply Stratos (some call it Pace 2, since it came after Pace, but it's also wrong).

That being clarified, there is a know bug about interval repetitions, it hangs after some time. A simple workaround is adding multiple intervals with the same distance (or time), dumb but usually work. If you have an International version of the watch (A1619), you can report it in the link below, maybe they fix it some day:
https://support.amazfit.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
I have that bug when changing screens. If i dont change between screens then no problem at allí.

Amazifit-App 3.0.0-play Holy crap

What did they do? Today they released 3.0.0-play on Play Store.
My verge have to be "activated"....ok
No more HF curves, ohne a Table with numbers. See picture, Pulse=HF
The app will be unclear from version to version.
My point of view? They killed herself. Im out after 6 Month if this is the result. The "Verge" count steps, but the cant show it in the app - and so on and so on.
****ty update. On pace the heart rate and steps no longer sync with the phone app. Also I'm always asked to have the location on on my phone in order to connect with the watch? No, Thanks!
Delete the app and reinstall it, I just updated too now, but it did not work properly not even with clear cache. Once I reinstalled and updated it's pretty cool actually, it's basically Mi Fit now. It even added my old data that I had synced from an Amazfit BIP. The table with numbers appears if you have manual measurements enabled on the watch, if you have it on continuously monitoring then it will show the curves too.
This has totally screwed ability to run mi fit & amazfit app in parallel (former for Google fit sync). Wouldn't let me log in for ages. Seems to have settled down now but now have no way to sync. Emailed support but last time I did for something they were as much use as a chocolate teapot. Let's see how they get on.
Update makes the App like Mi Fit ..its Okay. You have to disable continues heartrate ans enable it again to get the old continued overview (amazfit Pace)

Continious is enabeld, since day one. It must be enabled on the watch and thats OK and enabled. Notify App just draw my heart rate like yesterday with the previous version.....that shows me that all is OK, but the new app dosent show me all of that.
My Verge keeps failing to connect to this app. Have to downgrade to 2.9.0.

You have to go to Profile -> Amazfit Verge -> activate. I dont no what the developer drunks as hi script this, but it was the wrong thing.
After 24h i get a curve für HF and not only the table.
I miss the batterie level in the start screen.
My verge won't be recognized at all with new update
I had to re-register and create a new account on Amazfit so I could continue using Mi Fit (Mi Band 3) with Xiaomi account and Amazfit (Stratos) with Amazfit account. Otherwise they can't work simultaneously anymore.

I faced that too. During bar code scanning it won't recognise the watch. I have to use 2.9.0 to pair.
In 3.0.0 after the watch lost connection with the phone (i.e. go out for a run without bring the phone). It will not connect to the phone again (forever lost connection). I have to reboot the phone to connect.

I thought the same, but after some manual check of heart rate, some sync all heart rate is showing as was before and if say honest i love now this app, it became much more better, giving good advises, also there are much more option like to edit sleep time, weight and ec t. So app became full sport tracking app... Ok ok almost, need calories add option, but anyway it very good step to forward. All yours information is, just try to find it. Some of them is in sport, some of yours profile and ect. By the way now Amazfit app giving much more information, analyzes and ect. Did i mentioned that i love now this app? :laugh: Cheer up it became much more... better, powerful, informative and many more.... :highfive:
P.S. They showing steps, and you know what's new? They showing how much you need into yours daily target, so nice... Keep smiling, believe me app is much more better just need some time to find everything, cuz was changed a little bit design, but now app showing much more as was before with much more tools to change if something was incorrect like sleep tracking... Even you can now control yours weight what wasn't before...
DID I MENTIONED IT TRANSLATED NOW TO NATIONAL (my) LANGUAGE? What do you want MORE??? :angel:

There is no any problems now with app, for me it working without any issues/bugs and etc. Maybe you just need to check and time to know everything... My Verge have latest update, app is 3.0.0 too If say honest enough easily i found everything and now i have really good tool of my health tracking

GUYS and GIRLS!!! If you don't know something it doesn't mean that it bad - that DEDICATED for all which don't know about this app and screaming here that this is app is now worst... App is very good if say honest i did not saw better version of this app yet until now... Thanks to Amazfit/Huami/Xiaomi developers, but now app is best which was until now Cheer up!!! :victory: I did not found everything too, but i checked a little bit everything and i found: heart rate, steps, sleep, weight, battery level and ect. Everything is in app and much more. Just look in all app's section first and then scream here... Everything is in app as was before + new options, tools, information and ect.
Try to factory reset your watch and scan again? (As a new user)
For who the watch doesn't connect with new Amazfit app, that's my workaround; clear app cache
For who doesn't receive notifications in watch, go to settings in phone and search access to notification and enable again
The translation to my language is atrocious. Barely makes sense half of the time. It's obvious that they have just machine translated from English.

Some text like: heart rate times/min, weight, see more statuses, compared with similar users (this text is in weight section), VO2 Max (all explain too), training load (all explain too), Amazfit verge profile all section (like: watch faces text, battery text, connected text and all section at all), almost all my record section wasn't translated at all, all text still is in english. Some text like in sleep section: light sleep is translated like slow sleep. But in general all other is translated good, i don't have any complaints. Need keep in mind that my language at all is one of hardest in the world, so i'm happy that at all is translation, even of advises and explains of most sections like sleep, weight and ect. I was suprised at all how some text at all was correct translated, i thought they have worker from my country as have (or had in past) biggest companies in the world, like: Google, Walt Disney and ect.
You cant Switch the View of Google Maps for runs (Like Terrain) as before..und Google sync does Not Work Any more... Thats the only disadvantages what i have found.
Alexa account login suddenly available in the 3rd party account but my watch's (Verga) widget is not loaded.

Mine just faced problem with connection. App couldnt find my watch even bluetooth said already connected. In app it said "No paired devices, tap to pair" after tap>Watch>Amazfit Verge> .. It openned with scan "Place the code on Amazfit inside the frame" but what is the code ? Pls help.
Edit 1 : I've tried restart both watch and phone, still couldnot solve. Uninstall Amazfit App cant solve. Finally decided to Factory Reset now everything comeback working, QR code shown on watch then can scan with app it works fine now.

Stratos 3 > no VO2Max in Zepp app

Hy,
i've replace my Pace for a Stratos 3, stock version with firmware 4.2.8.0.
In my Zepp IOS APP version 6.0.1, i don't have any VO2Max value after 3 ou 4 cycling activities.
In the activity details, i'va VO2Max values.
do you experience the same issue ?
Laurent
You gonna have to do a run for VO2Max to display. To be honest Stratos 3 is a downgrade comparing to Pace/Stratos (v1) - softwarely speaking.
