Activity Tracking

1. Starting Activity

There are two ways to start an activity:

• From the watch's 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), the activity can be started after GPS successfully acquires a location.

2. Activity Initiated

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

3. Alerts during Activity

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

• Heart rate alert: A value can be set to trigger a watch alert if the heart rate exceeds that value.

Visual Description: A watch screen displaying a heart rate alert: "166" and "Heart rate is too high".

• Pace alert: A target pace can be set to trigger a watch alert if the pace falls below the target.
• Distance alert: A desired distance can be set to trigger an alert (e.g., the watch vibrates every 2 mile/km).
• Insufficient space alert: The watch vibrates to warn if there is insufficient space to continue the activity. Choosing "Continue" will overwrite unsynchronized data. Choosing "End" will stop the activity.
• Space exhaust alert: If space runs out during an activity, the watch will vibrate and automatically save the activity record.
• GPS status change alert: When an outdoor activity is selected, the watch vibrates to alert when 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. The screen can also be switched by swiping up or down manually.

Visual Description: Two watch screen diagrams showing activity data. The first shows "7:19 PM", "00:00:35", "0'00" 10.35 /km", "112" (heart rate), with text indicating "Long Press to pause the activity" and "Short press to switch the screen". The second shows similar data with additional metrics like "13 km", "11.13 km/h", "633" (pace), and "21.02 km/h", with text indicating "Swipe up or down to switch the screen".

5. Suspending/Continuing/Ending Activity

Press and hold the physical button to pause the activity. The paused interface is displayed, offering "Continue" to resume or "End" to stop.

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

6. Viewing Activity History

Activity history can be viewed on both the watch and the Mi Fit App.

1) Watch

From the watch's home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" → "Activity history". If an unsynchronized activity record exists, an unsynchronized icon will appear on the right side of the list. Once synchronized, the icon disappears. Click on an activity record to view detailed data.

2) Mi Fit App

Open the Mi Fit App, click "Activity" below the app home page to view all synchronized activity records.

7. Deleting Activity History

From the watch's home screen, swipe left to access "Activity" → "Activity history". Swipe up until "Delete" appears.

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

8. Activity Settings

From the watch's 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, these reminders will be performed during the activity.

9. GPS and A-GPS

When starting outdoor running, the watch automatically searches for a GPS signal. This step can be skipped by clicking "Skip", but the watch will continue searching for GPS during the activity.

1. If the GPS option is initiated and started, the watch provides a three-second countdown before tracking begins. The physical button can be long-pressed to "pause" and then tapped to "continue" or "end".
2. After finishing and syncing, the GPS route and details can be viewed in both the watch and the Mi Fit App.
3. GPS signal reception is better in open spaces. After successful location acquisition, the activity can begin. In crowded areas, raising the arm to the 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. AGPS helps the watch quickly find a precise position and improves accuracy. A-GPS data updates once a day and is automatically updated each time the watch syncs with the Mi Fit App.

Note: If the watch has not synced with the Mi Fit App for 7 days, A-GPS data will expire, potentially affecting positioning speed.

10. Heart Rate Zone

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

There are six default zones: Relaxed, Light, Weight, Aerobic, Anaerobic, and VO2 max. These are calculated based on the estimated maximum heart rate, which the watch determines using the common "220 minus age" formula.

Maintenance

The 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 clean the watch, as they may irritate skin or corrode the watch.
• Wipe the wrist and watch with a dry cloth or tissue after workouts, as sweat can interfere with accuracy.
