Best Amazfit watch for outdoor/hiking GPS use? - Amazfit

I was leaning very heavy to the T-Rex Pro..... but was unaware of the Android based options like the Stratos since they don't show up on the US site.
What I'm really looking for is a day to day things like sleep tracking, steps, and workouts and the ability to view GPS coordinates when I'm hiking with maybe a way to save waypoints and "navigate" to them with a simple arrow and distance.
Can any of the watches do everything I want?

Gym for Amazfit

It's possible add a activity for gym workout in amazfit?
I'd be very interested in having that as well. As of now, with firmware 1.3.4f, the list of activities that you can track is really short: Run, Walk, Run indoor, Bike, Bike indoor, Trail run and Elliptical. When I used to have the MiBand 2, I'd have continuous HR on and track circuit training in Endomondo. Now, unfortunately, I am unable to do any of that
Any ideas if there's a way to:
- add more sports activities to the Sports tab?
- track circuit workouts in any way, ie in Endomondo?
Thanks

Continous HR is available in Amazfit, whats stopping you from doing what you were doing earlier?
Well if I log a circuit workout in Amazfii it doesn't get exported to Strava. I think I read somewhere that it only exports workouts where you get GPS fix, ie. when you're outside. Other than that, I'm too cheap to pay 50 bucks for premium Strava if I had that for free in Endomondo...
I'm in a similar boat, don't really want to pay premium strava, but thought that maybe I could use the "Elliptical" training mode for my gym workouts to track time and heart rate. I didn't realise you couldn't upload the workout itself somewhere after training though to analyse the heart rate graph if you wanted to for example.
@kopaczus, how do you currently track / log your gym and circuit sessions?

You are not the first that want's the non GPS activities
Thank you @fzelle
I don't have a watch yet, doing my research but I'll definitely look into this.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants non GPS activities or gym workouts. Hope this at least resolves the strava integration!

Although non GPS activities are not uploaded to Strava they can still sync to the Amazfit App so you have a record on your phone of riding time average HR and kCal burn.
Yeah, but that's useless if you have all your workouts in a single tracking app - Endomondo for me - to analyze your performance and plan ahead. Amazfit app is okay, but doesn't cut it.

Lap time by gps position

Hi all,
I don't know if this already exist or if it is even possible from the technical perspective. I've tried to find how to do it, mainly trying to install one of the already existings apps for android but only one is compatible with the amazfit pace architecture and the result in the watch screen is to poor.
The point is to have a new activity in the smartwatch that record laps by GPS position (fe some garmin models do this as well). You set at the beginning a start point and every time you cross that point the activity set a new laptime. It will be usefull for different sports as for example circuit cycling or motorsports like go karts/motorbikes.
Does someone know if this is possible or if already exist something similar?
Regards
Which device? Pace and Stratos have a function called Autolapse which I guess is what you are looking.

Hi nhedgehog, thanks for your reply.
I have an Amazfit Pace... I can see the autolap by distance or by time but can't find the autolap by gps start position or something called autolapse, where is that? Do you have any custom rom installed?
I don't think you can do it besides auto lap by distance or time, as most watches do. If you need anything else then probably you must export the GPX data on watch, transfer it to computer then use a third party service to edit the data.
I'll answer later, just switched the ROM, don't know if I got confused with all that new settings.
I'm on the Amazfit Pace Chines BETA 2.0.6.12 ROM. Here is a thread which lists the activity settings of some outdoor activities.
You are right I can't define a GPS position as Lap Starting. I have the possibility to define autolap by distance and set this alert on or off but not what you were looking for.
I also would be interested by this GPS lap function
WOS2 on Pace has an "Auto Lap" setting (with option of notification separate from the normal lap notification where you can set the lap length), most probably it exists on Stratos as well... Does it do what you need?

Waypoints in Stratos

Hello,
I have recently moved from Suunto to test the new Stratos. I wonder, if anybody used the watch more throughoutly in trekking or navigating environment.
It is really nice that you can directly upload GPX tracks from phone to watch, this saves a lot of time. I wonder, however, if there is possibility to see waypoints on the track, once in the activity, so you get notifications, when you are approaching any waypoint (it helps to mark the turns on the crossroads). It worked just fine in Suunto, but I can't see waypoints in Stratos - maybe I am missing something.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
no waypoints in Stratos latest global firmware

It would be a great imrovement if they would address that in upcoming updates. I think it is the single major feature that I miss compared to previous Suunto Ambit 3.

Then you should try to contact them and request the feature.
Hi,
There is a feature called location in the current stock Stratos ROM which saves your current gps location to be used as a navigation waypoint for compass navigation back to your starting location.
I find it useful, but far more useful as requested in this post would be the facility to upload a gpx location in the same way that gpx routes can be uploaded.
I have requested it on the Amazfit forum FB, but so far no feedback.
There are reports of people Using GPX files with waypoints and it works on Stratos, at least with firmware 2.3.10.4 and up...
A little flag or triangle is displayed for waypoints on Stratos but waypoint descriptions seem to be problematic. Looks like it is trying to show something but is missing proper font or so.

Gym/weight lifting apps for Verge/Stratos/Pace ?

Hi guys,
I just bought a Amazfit Verge and would like to know if there are any workout tracker apps for the watch. Counting reps, weights, intervall timer etc. Im using "Jefit" on my phone right now, but would switch to another app if there is a standalone workout tracker for the watch. Thank you!
Officially, gym workout is not supported. I'm using treadmill when doing workout in the gym.

Have you tried installing the JEFIT APK on the watch? I know it is compatible with WearOS, but I don't know if it works in the AMAZFIT. In fact I have the same doubt as you, and I am looking for the best watch that has the possibility of measuring this, so if it works for you I appreciate you can share your experience.
Thanks and regards,
I also go to the gym for a while and try to lead a healthier lifestyle. Now that this whole coronavirus thing has happened, I have to do everything in my power at home. I do special exercises, lead a healthy lifestyle and thus I notice big changes in my body every day, which makes me very happy. However, I still can't get the desired result. When I look at other bodies more beautiful than me, I seem to be disappointed. For this reason, I am thinking of trying to consume SARMs. Can anyone on this forum help me with an opinion or advice? I also found a site where the best SARMs are https://jonnsaromatherapy.com/best-legal-steroids/ but I still don't know if it's worth trying or not. Please help.
Try AmazTimer
I use Endomondo; it has a long list of great features. The health and fitness app allows you to track your physical activity data, whether you're exercising outdoors or indoors. The app also works great with heart rate monitors to bring your heart rate data. It also analyzes your data to bring up a daily diary, split time for each workout, and nutrition supplements. I always use https://rats.army/product/rad140-testolone/, and I have it programmed in the app when I should take it.

Background GPS tracking (GTR3 pro)

Hi,
During a long outdoor activity, I'm not really interested in all the details of the workout. I would rather have a nice watch face to look at and when the activity is ended look at the details of it.
So I was wondering if it is possible to enable GPS tracking in the background during the day or have an activity with a normal watch face instead of all the activity details?
Hello,
I do not know all the parameters of the watch, but to have searched, it seems impossible to launch the GPS without going through an activity and therefore the display sport watch face.
In your case, if it is possible for you, I will choose to record the position (and the route) by the phone, rather than the watch... With the zepp app you can start an activity on the phone, it will look for the sports data on the watch and the GPS signal on the phone and the watch wiil keep the "normal" face

Thx for the reply! Already suspected it, but thx anyway. Phone is not really an option (milsim events), so I think I just buy a second device for the recording.
Sorry, but on the older amazfit watches like amazfit pace, etc when we are doing workout we can have simple maps( just line and direction ) on our watches.
Which workout provides the same functionality on gtr 3 pro. I cant find the maps on my watch when im doing outdoor workout
