Activity Tracking

1. Starting Activity

   There are two ways to start an Activity:

   • From the home screen, swipe left to find "Activity".
   • Long press the physical button to quick start an Activity configured in watch Settings.

   Amazfit Bip supports outdoor running, treadmill, cycling, and walking.

   Before starting an activity, ensure sufficient storage space on the watch. If space is low, unsynchronized activity data may be overwritten. It is recommended to connect and sync data immediately after finishing an activity to prevent data loss.

   For sports modes requiring GPS (outdoor running, cycling, walking), start the activity after GPS successfully acquires a location.

2. Activity Initiated

   If the GPS option is initiated and started, the watch will provide a three-second countdown before tracking begins.

3. Alerts during Activity

   From the home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" → "Activity settings". Tap "Activity settings" to set "Auto pause", "Heart rate alert", "Pace alert", and "Distance alert".

   • Heart rate alert:

     Set a value for the watch to alert you if your heart rate exceeds it.

     Visual Description: A watch screen displaying "166 Heart rate is too high".

   • Pace alert:

     Set a target pace for the watch to alert you if your pace falls below it.

   • Distance alert:

     Set a desired distance for the watch to alert you (e.g., vibrate every 2 mile/km).

   • Insufficient space alert:

     The watch vibrates to remind you if space is insufficient to continue the activity. Choosing "Continue" will overwrite unsynchronized data. Choosing "End" will stop the activity.

   • Space exhaust alert:

     If you run out of space during an activity, you will be alerted by vibration, and the watch will automatically save the activity record.

   • GPS status change alert:

     When choosing an outdoor activity, the watch will vibrate once GPS is successfully positioned.

4. Basic approach during Activity

   On the activity interface, long press the key to pause the activity; short press the key to switch the screen. You can also switch screens by swiping up or down manually.

   Visual Description: Two watch screen diagrams. The first shows activity data: "00:00:35", "0'00" 10.35", "112 bpm", with a note "Short press to switch the screen". The second shows activity data with options to swipe up/down: "11.13 km", "6'33" pace", "21.02 kcal".

5. Suspending/Continuing/Ending Activity

   Press and hold the physical button to pause the activity. The paused interface will display. Tap "Continue" to resume or "End" to stop.

   Note: If you ran less than 50 meters, the watch will prompt "distance is too short to save".

6. Viewing Activity History

   You can view activity history from both your watch and the Mi Fit App.

   1. Watch:

      From the home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" → "Activity history". If an unsynchronized activity record exists, an unsynchronized icon will appear. This icon disappears after successful synchronization. Tap an activity record to view detailed data.

   2. Mi Fit App:

      Open the Mi Fit App → Click "Activity" below the home page to view all synchronized activity records.

7. Deleting Activity History

   From the home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" → "Activity history" → Swipe up until you see "Delete".

   Note: Ensure the activity is synchronized with the app before deleting it from the watch. To delete the record from the app, you must do so manually within the app.

8. Activity Settings

   From the home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" → "Activity settings". Tap "Activity settings" to configure "Auto pause", "Heart rate alert", "Pace alert", and "Distance alert". Once activated, corresponding reminders will be performed during the activity.

GPS and A-GPS

When you select outdoor running, the watch automatically searches for a GPS signal. You can skip this step by clicking "Skip", but the watch will continue searching for GPS during your activity.

1. If the GPS option is initiated and started, the watch will provide a three-second countdown before tracking begins. You can long press the physical button to "pause" and tap "continue" to resume or "end" to stop.
2. After finishing and syncing, you can view the GPS route and details in both the watch and the Mi Fit App.
3. GPS signal reception is best in open spaces. After successful location acquisition, you can start the activity. In crowded areas, raising your arm to your chest can speed up GPS positioning.

Assisted GPS (A-GPS) is a system that allows GPS receivers to obtain information from network resources to aid satellite location. An A-GPS system is particularly useful in locations where satellite signals are difficult to penetrate.

A-GPS helps your watch quickly find your precise position and improve accuracy. A-GPS data updates once a day. The latest A-GPS data is automatically updated each time you sync with the Mi Fit App.

Note: If the watch has not synced with your Mi Fit App for 7 days, A-GPS data will expire. Positioning speed may be affected when A-GPS expires.

Heart Rate Zone

During activity, the watch calculates your heart rate zone based on your personal information. The heart rate zone helps determine the effect and intensity of the activity. The current heart rate zone is displayed next to the heart rate on the watch. After the activity, you can view the duration in each heart rate zone from the "Details" page of Activity history on the app.

There are six default zones (Relaxed, Light, Weight, Aerobic, Anaerobic, and VO2 max), calculated based on the estimated maximum heart rate. The watch calculates the maximum heart rate using the commonly used "220 minus age" formula.

Maintenance

Amazfit Bip is water-resistant, but NOT waterproof.

• Clean the watch and strap periodically with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
• Do NOT use shampoo, soaps, or other chemicals to wipe dirt, as they may irritate skin or corrode the watch.
