There are two approaches to starting a workout:
The watch currently supports the following workout modes: outdoor running, indoor running, outdoor cycling, walking, open water swimming, pool swimming.
Before starting a workout, the storage space on the watch will be checked. If not enough space is left, any old workout data that have yet to be synchronized might be overwritten. In order to ensure this does not happen, we recommend that you connect with the app to synchronize workout data as soon as possible after the workout.
The following workout modes require GPS positioning for track recording: outdoor running, outdoor cycling, walking, and open water swimming. Before you start an activity, please wait until GPS has full signal. The longer you wait, the more it will grab and the better your signal will be.
The workout in progress page will be displayed after a 3s countdown.
During workouts, if your heart rate exceeds the set maximum, the watch will vibrate to remind you that your heart rate is too high and show the current heart rate. Before using this function, you need to enable heart rate alert in the workout settings page.
When the real-time pace is slower than the set value during a workout, the watch will vibrate to remind you that your pace is too slow and display your current pace. Before using this function, you need to enable pace alert in the workout settings page.
During workouts, whenever you reach a set mileage, the watch will vibrate to remind you of the current mileage and the pace or speed during the past one mile workout. Before using this function, you need to enable lap alert on the workout settings page.
If there is insufficient space during workouts, the watch will vibrate to remind you whether to continue the workout. If you tap "Continue", unsynchronized workout data will be overwritten. If you tap "End", you will end the workout.
During workouts, if the storage space is exhausted, the watch will vibrate to remind you. The current workout record will be automatically saved.
During outdoor workouts, if positioning was unsuccessful before, the watch will vibrate to remind you that GPS positioning is successful after repositioning is successful for the first time.
For any non-swimming workout mode: Users can view the activity data by pressing the button and sliding the watch screen up or down.
For a swimming workout mode:
The screen will be locked automatically when it is turned off during workout, and you can't turn it on by swiping. The screen can only be operated by pressing the watch button to unlock it.
Long press to pause the workout. The paused interface will be displayed. If you tap "Continue", the workout will continue to be recorded. If you tap "End", a confirmation prompt will be given based on the current distance. For any nonswimming workout, the record will not be saved if the distance is less than 50m. If the distance exceeds 50m, you will need to confirm again whether to end the workout.
Tap Workout and swipe up to see the history entry. Tap it to view the latest saved workout records. If there is any unsynchronized workout record, an unsynchronized icon will be displayed to the right of the list. This icon will be removed once a successful synchronization is performed in the app. You may tap on a workout record to view its details.
You can view all workout records synchronized from the watch in the Amazfit app's exercise record.
On the detailed workout data display, you can swipe up until the "Delete" button appears at the bottom. If the data have already been synchronized, you can tap "Delete" to clear the workout record. If not, you need to confirm whether to delete it.

Tap Workout and swipe up to see the workout settings entry. You can set whether auto pause, heart rate alert, pace alert, and lap alert should be enabled during workouts, as well as the swimming lane length. When these alerts are enabled, the watch will vibrate to remind you when the set value is reached (see the "Alerts during Workouts" section for details).
When you enter the workout preparation page for an outdoor exercise such as outdoor running, the watch will automatically start GPS positioning and alert you as soon as your location is confirmed. The GPS positioning will be disabled automatically once you finish your workout.
GPS positioning should be performed in an open area outdoors. Please wait for the positioning process to complete before starting your workout. If you are in a crowd, raising your watch to your chest level may speed up the positioning process.
Assisted Global Positioning System (AGPS) uses the orbital information of the GPS satellites to help the watch to perform GPS positioning faster. When the watch is connected with your mobile phone via Bluetooth, the watch will actively synchronize and update AGPS data with the Amazfit app. The watch needs to synchronize this data with the app regularly, as otherwise the AGPS data will expire and the positioning speed may be affected. In this case, the watch will remind you to connect to the app to update AGPS data before you start your workout, so it can speed up the positioning process.
During workouts, the watch will calculate which zones your heart rate belongs to base on your personal information. These zones can help you understand the effectiveness and intensity of your workout. The watch will display your current heart rate zones in the heart rate data column. When the workout ends, you can use the app to view the workout duration of each heart rate zone in the "Details" page for this workout record.
The watch provides six zones by default:
The default heart rate zones are calculated based on the estimated maximum heart rate. The watch calculates the maximum heart rate by deducting your age from 220.
Heart rate zone | Calculation rules |
Relaxed | Lower than 50% of the maximum heart rate |
Light | At or above 50% and below 60% of the maximum heart rate |
Intensive | At or above 60% and below 70% of the maximum heart rate |
