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

Workout Settings
Tap Workout and swipe up to see the workout settings entry. You can set whether

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.
