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.

GPS and AGPS

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.

Introduction to Workout Heart Rate Zones

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
Aerobic	At or above 70% and below 80% of the maximum heart rate
Anaerobic	At or above 80% and below 90% of the maximum heart rate
