You can set this in Settings > Workouts > Workout Detection.
Type: After you select a workout type, the automatic identification function is enabled for the workout.
Reminder: When the feature is enabled, a pop-up dialog box is displayed when a workout is identified or ends. When the feature is disabled, data is recorded silently upon workout identification and a dynamic icon is displayed on the watch face screen.
Sensitivity: Higher sensitivity indicates a shorter identification time. Identification time is prolonged if the sensitivity is low. Set as required.
Note:
- Continuous workout status monitoring will greatly reduce the battery life. When no workout is selected, the workout identification function is not enabled. If the watch detects an ongoing workout, some data cannot be synchronized with the app.
Workout history
When a workout ends, the workout record will automatically be saved to the Activities app. If you end the workout when the workout time is too short, the watch will ask you whether to save it. Due to the limited storage space, it is recommended that you synchronize the workout data to the app soon after completing a workout; otherwise, the workout data may be overwritten.

Physical indicators for workouts
The watch provides a variety of physical indicators for workouts. You can use evaluation scores as a reference for your workouts. These indicators can be viewed in workout records or the Workout status app, including current training load, total recovery time, VO2max, and training effect.
You can find a detailed explanation of current training load, total recovery time, and VO2max in the Workout Status app.
TE
Training Effect (TE)
Training Effect (TE) is an indicator for measuring the effect of a workout on improving the aerobic capacity. When you work out while wearing the watch, the TE score starts from 0.0 and increases as the workout progresses. The TE score ranges from 0.0 to 5.0, and different score ranges indicate different effects. A higher TE score indicates a greater workout intensity. It signifies a higher body load, but a better TE. However, you should consider whether your body load is too high when the TE score reaches 5.0.
Aerobic TE Score | Effect on Improving Aerobic Capacity |
0.0–0.9 | This workout has no effect on improving aerobic capacity. |
1.0-1.9 | This workout helps improve endurance and is ideal for post-workout recovery training. |
2.0-2.9 | This workout helps maintain aerobic capacity. |
3.0-3.9 | This workout significantly helps improve aerobic capacity. |
4.0-4.9 | This workout remarkably improves heart-lung ability and aerobic capacity. |
5.0 | Post-workout recovery is required for non-athlete users. |
Anaerobic TE Score | Effect on Improving Anaerobic Capacity |
0.0–0.9 | This workout has no effect on improving anaerobic capacity. |
1.0-1.9 | This workout has a slight effect on improving anaerobic capacity. |
2.0-2.9 | This workout helps maintain anaerobic capacity. |
3.0-3.9 | This workout significantly helps improve anaerobic capacity. |
4.0-4.9 | This workout has a significant effect on improving anaerobic capacity. |
5.0 | Post-workout recovery is required for non-athlete users. |
The TE score is evaluated based on your profile, as well as your heart rate and speed during your workout. A low TE score does not indicate a problem during your workout, but instead signifies that the workout is too easy and has no significant effect on improving aerobic capacity (for example, a low TE score for 1-hour of jogging).
How is it obtained?
Once a workout for which heart rate data is monitored ends, the watch displays the TE score of the workout and provides related comments or suggestions. You can also review the TE score of each workout record in the future.
Workout status
Workout status includes current training load, Full recovery time, and VO2max. These indicators are determined based on your profile and other data such as heart rate. As the watch continues to understand and analyze your body and workout data, the accuracy of evaluation scores gradually improves.
VO2max
VO2max indicates the amount of oxygen consumed by the body during maximum-intensity workouts, which is an important indicator of the body's aerobic capacity. As one of the most important reference indicator for endurance athletes, high-level VO2max is the prerequisite for high-level aerobic capacity.
VO2max is a relatively personal indicator, which has different reference standards for users with different genders and in different age groups. The watch evaluates your athletic capacity based on your profile and the heart rate and speed during your workouts. Also, VO2max changes with your athletic capacity. However, everyone has a VO2max value, which varies by individual body conditions.
How is it obtained?
- Correctly enter your profile in the app.
- Run outdoors for at least 10 minutes when wearing the watch and ensure that your heart rate reaches 75% of the maximum heart rate.
- After the run ends, you can view your current VO2max in the watch's workout record app or on the See more statuses screen.
- VO2max scores map seven athletic ability levels.
How can I view it?
You can view the current VO2max in the watch's workout status app. You can also view the VO2max history and variation trends in the app.
Training Load
The watch calculates the training load based on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) scores over the past seven days to evaluate your workout volume. You can adjust your subsequent training schedule based on your training load score range.
You can view your historical training load and change trends in the app.
Full recovery time
Total recovery time is the recommended time for the complete recovery of the body. After each workout, recovery suggestions will be offered based on the heart rate of the latest workout to help you better recover and reasonably arrange your workout to avoid injury.
Full Recovery Period | Workout Suggestions |
0-18 hours | You have fully or nearly fully recovered, and you can do slightly higher-intensity training. |
19-35 hours | You can train as usual and you can prepare to strengthen your regimen again. |
36-53 hours | Appropriately reducing the intensity of your training will allow you to gain workout benefits from your last training, and you should do recovery workouts to relieve physical fatigue. |
54-96 hours | Proper rest will allow you to get the benefits of the workout from your last high-intensity training. |
