Hello,
There are sooo many Amazfit (Xiaomi?) watches avalaible and each model has even different versions which make it very hard for a newcomer to make choice.
I found a board comparing all of them.. But it's up to 2019 (beginning?), so a lot are missing. Also, they seem to have different names depending on the country..!
GTR, GTS... What is it called in China?! I want one that's Android based (so i can get custom roms, install apks..) and i'd like it to have speaker/mic, as well as non proprietary straps.
The Verge's the only one that fits (not for the straps though) according to that 2019 board but maybe one of the most recent one would fit..? Let me know!
Thanks.
Forget it.
Those with android have a "special" Android version where you have a very limited amount of working apps. ( and not wear ).
And as it is closed, and for a MIPS processor you will find no real custom rom.
Speaker/mic ? Why?
Stratos

He wants with ? and ? . Verge is the only offering from Amazfit while you can talk to Watch.
Stratos is for sports users.
T-Rex - for men with khaki who think they are tough
GTS - fashion Watch (period)
GTR - for men on suits
Pace - for sports enthusiasts people
BIP - for people looking for minimalist design and options
Rest are more dear than alive

But the pace and stratos (this thread is for them) also have that same Android as the verge.. isn't it?! No real custom ROMs.. are you saying those running huamiOS like the BIP got real cf?! I don't get you there!!

Hello all,
I am totally new to the android hacking/developers circle and this is probably a really dumb question, but would it be possible to hack android ware to be used on a cheap Chinese watch. I can't afford a $200+ watch, but would love to have a smart watch, but can't imagine the stock UI on the cheap watches to be any good.
Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated,
Nathan
You can buy an lg g watch like me... it s cheap if you find a second hand one. Me and my friend paid 50€ for one. G watch has no heart beat sensor ,no wifi and other small things but, it s 100 times better than any Chinese watches .
I would recomend the LG Urbane smartwatch. This was launched in Q2 2015 and till now looks updated and according the trends. Works very well linked with android's mobiles.

Hi i was wondering about same thing, I tried to install Huawei watch Android Wear ROM on my new android smartwatch based on Mediatek MT 6580 with no luck. I am quite sure that it should be possible, bot i dont know how to create custom ROM
Hello
Is there a fix for the GPS measuring the routes to short. For instance will it help if i installed the "Pacified Rom"? Or does someone know if they announced a later firmware update with a fix?
Thanks
I have never ever heared that the pace measures to short, so why do you think so?
Because the Amazfit measures my running routes 150 - 200 meters shorter than the routeplaner I use. Also based on Google maps like the Amazfit.
What percentage is that of the run?
Where do you run?
I usually have no real differences, except for one route where there are a lot of houses and a forest.
Here I can see that the Pace "cuts corners", but also does every other device I have ever used ( Fenix 5 used by a friend, Sony Z1 Compact ).
Also where is the difference? On the watch? in the App? on Strava?
but there where a few changes to the GPS firmware in the CN version ( so also in the pacified ) that we hope to get in the upcoming new us rm.

I agree with the OP that the amazfit measures less than other watches (f.e. my polar m400 I used before). And with my partner's Garmin I could see it again: for a 13km through forest and mountains, it only measured 12'69km... So frustrating

I have same problem, Pace cuts about 200-300m (always) for 10km of running, compare with Lenovo k6 note and Garmin FR110.
The problem is bigger if the route have more turns. In my opinion, the watch should check the position more often.
I wrote about it on the 'Huami Beta Tester Program' but no response.
Because of that I'm going to sell my watch, in my opinion gps accuracy is the biggest problem of this watch ;(

Hmm. The last couple of days it now sometimes measures to long. And the route data is also sometimes wrong, like it draws a route parallel to the real route.
Hello,
I've just receive the new Amazfit PACE 2 Stratos only with chinesse language.
Unfortunately, I used unknowingly the English firmware of PACE 1 and now the buttons and touch screen does not work.
Do you know if we can find a ROM for PACE 2 in English (or other language)
Thanks a lot !
As far as I have seen, the earliest claim for an English release is March.
It would however be possible MAYBE if you were able to dump the firmware to start translating based on that, as well as helping ports to the original Pace
Thanks for yours informations
I unfortunately do not save the original chinesse firmware, so it does not work properly, it only displays the time.
Pavel Zeldin from the "Global Huami Amazfit Pace Smartwatch Group" Facebook group is currently working on implementing the Stratos Fimware. Maybe he can help you!
Greetings Volker
well, i'm just testing it ( PZ is me ), there are a lot more pro devs involved in this, and in the not so far future, the Smartwatch 2 will be Enlishfied
@1immortal Pls send me Super Avante watch face. It should be as an app.
hopefully it will be available soon

Expecting it to be available at the end of March or April when the English or International version of the Amazfit 2 is release in the market

hello,
I think we dont need to wait too much, there are devs already working on chinese stratos porting.
One of them already extract the rom and he is adapting it to the amazfit pace, I think soon they will find a way to translate stratos in english. things are moving.....
regards
Is it OK to purchase Amazfit 2 Chinese version now?
I plan to buy Chinese version now. It is possible to convert it to English firmware in this case, right?
Stratos is still chinese version only [emoji19]

ROM for Amazfit Pace 2 exist in Italy and English ver. Find on FB or try http://nicolasagliano.com/stratos-1-0-rom-italiana-per-lamazfit-stratos/
finally its here, check the thread here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/rom-stratos-amazfit-sport-watch-2-t3746334
update 2.0.10.0
Hi there!
Has anyone tried the update 2.0.10.0 yet?!?!?!
I will try now. Thanks for info.
Title may be a bit misleading, lol, it is "Amazfit Stratos 3" questions...
I have been searching on the internet (forums, reviews and YouTube vids etc.), then I came up with some questions, hoping some owners can help me out
How many data fields (big one in the squre boxes , not the top bar) can it show in one workout page at a time? From all the pictures I can find online, it shows 4 data fields, while the Stratos plus can show 6, this to me is a downgrade...
Can you customize each data field of what it shows?
Is there an all day stress monitor function? According to FirstBeat page, it does not have stress
Has anyone compared its workout data quality/accuracy vs Garmin watches, are they good enough to ditch Garmin
Any rumors/plans that it will come with more FirstBeat functions in the future updates?
Many thanks in advance!

This is based on CN firmware/ROM:
1. 3, 4 or 5 data fields
2. Yes, in Amazfit app
3. Stress level monitoring is only available for CN firmware, not for US, and it's not expected any time soon. Data only is registered in the watch, not in the app
4. IDK...
5. IDK...

Thanks for the reply! This is so very useful to me.
All those region based differences are really frustrating. I also know the CN version Huawei Watch GT2 got more features than the internatioanl one.
And it is quite strange about the stress monitoring. I am not sure why there is both region difference and platform difference for many brands. Platform difference that the stress monitoring is supported when paired with Android but not with iOS, heck?

Just a question pls. Does the Stratos 3 have a SPO2 (Blood Oxygen) messurment? German/Euope version.
Thanks
I would not buy this watch.
I was very pleased with it. But today I'm experiencing to much issues and bugs.
I bought 3 Amazfit watches (GTR, Stratos 3 and GTS) and 2 were buggy or barely useable.
And I think the last one (GTS) is starting to show strange behaviours.
I think I'll turn away from Huami unless they correct all the bugs that makes their watch unusable.
It's too bad as they also introduced very nice features.
Yeah, i know about the quality of Amazfit. But my question is: Is there a SPO2 messurment?

I have the GTR2 for almost 3 years. It´s a OK smartwatch. Not good, not so bad. First of all , the GPS stop working out of the blue. I've tried to upgrade from different versions of the ZEPP but with no sucess.
You just CAN'T install app in those SmartWatch . Is what is install and that´s it .
Both have a lot of watch face. There is an app called amazfaces . GTR3 have quite a few more nice, in my opinion . But not a lot.
GTR3 has more baterry for sure.
Powerfull ? Both are pretty much the same.
There is no game for those GTR...
Both are very similar . I would by the GTR3 just because the battery.

That´s the thing. There is NO app store for amazfit. I know, it's ridiculous .
I have no ideal which other Smartwatch is better than amazfit.
