Last week I got an amazfit band 5. I already had a stratos 3. Today I ran 20km wearing both the band and the watch, recording the activity only on the stratos. The band 5 was the active device. Then when done I did a manual data sync from the stratos without activating it. I was hoping to get PAI AND all the firstbeat metrics. The data sync worked or it least it said it did but the activity didn't show up in zepp or strava so after maybe 5 minutes I activated the stratos and synced from zepp. Then the activity displayed in zepp. Finally I activated the band 5 again, because it's more comfortable and might be better for sleep etc.. This last step reset my 18k steps in zepp back to zero which was disappointing. I did get 79 pai though.
Should I have waited longer before giving up and activating the stratos or can't this be done?
EDIT* Answering my own question. Yes I should have waited. Today I tried again except this time with an indoor rowing activity on the stratos and a manual data sync from the watch and the activity displayed in zepp and synced to strava without me having to activate the stratos in zepp. I might go back to wearing the bip s.
Sleep detection on the band is pretty strange. Says I was in rem sleep while reading in bed.

Hey, now I have Amazfit Pace, In the past I had MI Band - There was an option to get alert every hour with no movement (I work in the office and sometimes forget hours to move!). How can it be done on the Amazfit?
Thanks

Hello,
in Germany, last night clocks were adjusted at 3:00am to 2:00am due to dayliht saving. My Android phone switched the time instantly, my Amazfit BIP ignored it, even at 11 am, the time was still faulty, syncing with the Mi Fit app didn't help. The only thing that helped was to unbind and rebind the BIP to the phone
This is really a pitty, I wonder how often at all the BIP does syncronize at all, and why the people developing this piece of software are so ignorant not to implement the most obvious use-cases.
Any tips and hints how the time sync behaviour can be improved? Thanks!
Turn off and then on the Bluetooth. That's all. Works every time. I travel a lot and that's what I do to sync the time when I change timezones.

A lot Xiaomi/Amazfit Products (Miband, Bip, Cor etc) has to connect one time to mifit after time change to get the right time again! I use mifit since a few years now and i‘ve never a problem with the time change!
I tried reconnecting bluetooth as well as syncing in the MiFit App, both did not help. Only unpairing and repairing solved the issue Even if these two did work, it is a shame that things like that do not work automatically out of the box...
Hello, i have same issue. Just turn off and on your bip and it solve the problem.
Restart the phone
I had same issue today and restarting the phone connected to my BIP solved the issue instantly. Hope it helps!!
4 years later and my brand new Amazfit Band 7 ignores daylight saving even after a full shutdown. Disappointing indeed because (almost) all my devices, clocks, watches use either DCF or NTP to avoid this issue in the first place.
Hello, I have a problem with my stratos and I would like to know if anybody else has this problem or how to fix it.
When I finish my run and then sync with phone and open the app to check my run the finish flag on the map is not on the proper spot but 2-3km sooner.
For example, I run about 15 km but on 12th km, it sets finish flag but it continues to count distance, pace and so on further. In the app, it shows proper distance and everything seems ok but when I look on the map finish flag is on 12th km.
It seems like no issue at all but after uploading on Strava it cuts off everything after the finish flag, so it shows only those 12kms and nothing else. And this bothers me because I use Strava as my primary app to analyze my runs. Interesting is that no matter how long I run it always cuts off more or less the same distance around 2-3 km before the real finish.
I appreciate any help.
Go to Settings on wacth -> Activity reminders, set both to ON, save, then set both to OFF again (you must reset them).
If watch is running firmware > 2.3.7.0 then there is a bug when GPS signal is lost that didn't happen in the past. You may want to factory reset but do NOT restore old data to watch to reset all data, do the above again (also reset Activity reminders), make sure you get a strong GPS-fix before starting to record any activity. And to get better HR data, enable continuous HR for at least 24h and use the watch while you sleep to record resting rate.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried reset activity reminders but it did happen again. The watches are running on 2.3.9.0 and this problem first time occurred on 7th January. Is it possible that some update came out around that date?
About the GPS when I get a green screen which indicated good GPS lock and I start the activity it shows always altitude like -20000m and it takes some time until altitude becomes accurate but I always wait on the same spot till it's ok. Could that be a problem? Should I wait to start tracking even though GPS is ready?
After factory reset can I upgrade the watches to the current version or I should stay on some older one?
Reseting data will only erase the activity data stored on watch, it won't affect firmware. I'd suggest that you do the procedure above, and also turn off the watch for about 15s to reset sensors. And find start to record the activity as soon as you get a green GO, wait a few seconds for a stronger GPS fix.
Hello, I have the same exact problem on Amazfit Pace. It happens on Cycling and Walk and always cut the last 1-2 km of the track before the arrive regardless of the length of the ride.
I would try the suggested solutions but I can't find Activity reminders on Pace.

On the Stratos Activity Reminders are found under Settings > General. Not sure if it will be the same on the Pace.

Amazfit ended up replacing my watch for this issue. None of the fixes they suggested worked. If they are hesitant to replace the watch, remind them of the Satisfaction Guarantee slip included in the package when you purchased the watch.
I have the same problem on my Amazfit pace... So annoying!
Has anyone found a fix?

Hello, I have the same kind of problem.
My watch : Amazfit Pace 2.8.5.0
It happens only when the run is more than 15km
The finish flag is about 1.5 km to short.
The total distance is ok on Zepp App but it is not good in Strava.

Does anyone has a fix?
did you ever tryed a climb and see what the altitude map shows you?
I think my issue (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...os-3-2020-12-03.4033223/page-25#post-84231665) is because of that...

Hi.
First sorry for my english.
I have same issue. Zepp is the problem. GPX data from watch is ok. When it is updated to Zepp, data is ok.
But when you download the .gpx from Zepp (like Strava should), the latest data is missing in the .gpx
I opened a ticket at Amazfit but for them everything is fine.
In the screenshot below, we see on the left my watch's .gpx on the left and Zepp's .gpx on the right. There are 30 seconds of data missing.
The Zepp app is very poor at tracking deep sleep. Anyone with the same problem?
Notify & Fitness for GTS is tracking fine.
Two months ago,it tracked sleep normally, but now it doesn't.
Any help? I also reinstalled
See attached images
Yes, I also have the same problem with deep sleep tracking! I made a complete reset of the GTS but it doesn't work. The problem is still the same! I also noticed that since the Zepp update the heart rate is not so accurate as normal and also PAI isn't working. Very disappointing, the GTS was great but now I am thinking to switch to another brand.
Hi.
Can I connect two devices on zepp simultaneously? I bought a amazfit band 5 and I have a amazfit pace, but when I activate one the another desactivate, and this proccess are manually. I installed a notify for amazfit and the band works, but after a few hours the band not sync again. I have tryed with mi fit app, but can't conecct the band to the app.
My solution yet, is get the key of the band with a modded zepp app(from freemyband), uninstall it and use notify for amazfit connecting with auth key and withnot zepp app, after installing the zepp oficial app for pace.
EDIT: after a bluetooth disconect, or reboot he phone. The sync and notifications not work correctly again.
Hi there, is Alexa working when you use notify for amazfit? I have two phones with two different accounts to be able to use Amazfit band 5 and GTR 2, I use the band because of Alexa.
I can't use alexa on notify, because this is a pro feature and I was not purchase pro license yet.
How many days GT 2 works with always on display? On sunlight is good visible screen like as pace?
