Activities and Health
PAI
PAI (Personal Activity Intelligence) measures physiological activity and reflects overall physical condition, based on heart rate, activity intensity, and physiological data. Maintaining a certain intensity of activity or workout contributes to your PAI value. Research suggests a PAI value greater than 100 is linked to reduced cardiovascular disease risk and increased life expectancy. For more details, refer to PAI > PAI Q&A in the Zepp app. The HUNT Fitness Study, referenced here, is a long-term study on health.
Image description: An image of the watch displaying the PAI score.
Activity Goal
The watch automatically records activity data including steps, calorie consumption, standing events, and distance. It also records time spent in the fat-burning heart rate range. The Activity Goal app has two daily goals: steps and standing. The watch vibrates when a daily goal is achieved.
Image description: An image of the watch displaying activity goal progress.
Standing Alerts
To encourage hourly activity and reduce sedentary harm, the watch monitors your movement. If no activity is detected for over 1 minute at the 50th minute of an hour, it vibrates to remind you to work out. Completing some activity before the next hour helps achieve the standing goal.
Enabling Standing Alerts: Connect the watch to your phone, open the Zepp app, and go to Profile > My Device > Amazfit GTS 2 Mini > Standing Alerts.
Image description: An image of the watch displaying a standing alert reminder.
