Howdy all,
Just wondering if any of the Amazfit watches (especially the Bip), will allow you to put a message in with one of the alarms? I have searched high and low but all I can seem to find is that (using the Bip as an example) all you can do is set up to so many alarms, what time, daily/weekly etc but not whether or not you can attach a message like "Go to appointment" with that alarm.
Multiple smartwatch alarms to me seem kind of pointless if you can't remember what they were for.
Thanks,
Trevel14n
I don't know about BIP, but it doesn't work this way with Pace and Stratos. On them, however, you can install third party apps, one of them is TickTick. It has reminders and you can set timed reminders for them, and even sync using WiFi. Interface isn't the best because it was not meant for small screens, but after initial setup basically you will open it just to sync data with wifi when needed. It won't work with BIP because BIP runs a proprietary OS, not Android.

And if so could someone please explain to me how to pair it. Notify and fitness mentions unpairing from the mifit app and only pairing with notify, but when I do this the watch only shows the connect to app icon. I would love to just use notify as mifit and notified seem to fight sometimes.
Yes, you can. I use it all the time and don't have Mi fit installed.
Just click on the menu button (3 lines in top left)
Then in the menu that shows, scroll down to the option: Re-Pair with Amazfit
It will disconnect (if connected) and then pair again with the Amzfit Bip.
Works great and there is less battery loss then with Mi Fit.
Do you pair originally with mifit then uninstall it? When I unpaired with mifit nothing I do in Notify takes the watch off the connect to phone screen. Notify says it's paired but the watch doesn't.

Yes, i started on my phone with the Mi fit app, but for my wife i never installed Mi fit.
What you can do after unpairing Mi fit, is using N&F and then install the latest firmware.
See here for a description what to do (follow all steps 1 through 5 except the Chinese characters step). The description is for step 5 (GPS), but simply start with 1.

Thank for the replies, unfortunately it's just not working. When I have Mifit uninstalled and paired with Notify, when I try to update the firmware it disconnects from Notify. I can re-pair the watch in Notify but when the firmware update starts its disconnects.
I love the concept of Notify and the custom notifications but I'm about to get a refund on the pro purchase and just use the stock software for consistency.
I tried to uninstall Mi Fit and pair through Notify. The pairing icons wouldn't go away from the watch. It looked like the phone was getting data from the watch, but the watch was not recognizing it was paired. There is a Reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/AmazfitBip/comments/8dhyft/do_i_need_to_keep_mi_fit_when_using_another_app/ with other people having this issue. It would be nice to only have to run one app on the phone to cut down on battery usage.
I figured it out. In the notify app, go to settings and under the advanced tab, scroll down to where it says something about the official mi fit app. Select the app isn't installed and your watch should connect to the notify app
Cannot go to the main screen of the app
Hi all,
I have a problem with my amazfit pace.
I have MiFit installed and paired (as well as Amazfit app).
Whn I install Notify and fitness asks me for permissions wich I grant and asks if the watch is correctly paired.
After that I get to a Screen with several app list to activate notifications or not but I'm not able to go to the main page with all the features...
Is this happening to someone else?
Thanks
I would like to say thank you to the devs of this app. I'm a paid user and I have a question. Is there a way to use Notify App for only integration with Sleep as Android? I use the amazfit app as I like their graphs better. Thanks
Hello!
I bought a Stratos watch, so far I'm impressed.
I like it but I do not know yet what else I can do with it and I have the following questions:
How do I use Sleep as Android tracker?
How do I set up Tools & Amazfit?
In some Apps or Widgets, I saw Chinese text, is my ROM Chinese or International
Can I sync it with my Calendar and To-Do lists?
Is there any PDF Reader or Note Reader for the watch?
Any method with Maps and Directions on the Watch?
What else can I do?
I can answer some of the questions.
3. I have a pace with the international version and everything is in my language, no chinese at all, so maybe you have the chinese ROM.
4. You can install some apps on the watch to sync your calendar. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/app-widget-calendar-pace-t3751889 or only the timeline https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/app-widget-timeline-v1-0-1-pace-stratos-t3894632) (I believe that I saw and app for the to-do, but I'm not sure...)
6. For the maps directions I use this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.re.amazfitmaps)
In this forum, you can find some other interesting apps for your watch. We have amazings developers and a lot of options for ours watches!!!
Is the interval editor as awful as it appears or do I need to tweak something?
Is there really only the one "Interval type" and is it also impossible to title each interval? Surely in 2019, I should be able to create a run/walk interval session with ease on a so-called smart fitness watch? I want to create intervals sessions with different exercise categories. eg run/rest/run/rest/press ups/rest/situps/rest/run etc. as it is there is no way to title or annotate an interval and there is only ONE category: "training". Dire.
I am new to watch.
Not good to mix subjects but while here, which app do you use on Android to control/sync the watch? "Notify and Fitness" won't show me graphs for different exercises (run, swim and cycle) and also doesnt have any interval session editor. Is it supposed to work alongside the offical Amzfit app? I haven't figured why I would want to use Amzmod either.

You shouldn't buy Stratos for serious training, you get what you pay.

That's a total nonsense reply. The tracking and sync to Strava etc is excellent.
I purchased a Bip first, and subsequently upgraded and acquired a Stratos. I just didn't have the heart to sell off the Bip. In retrospect, I think that was a wise decision.
I have an Android handset. I find that both the Mi Fit as well as Amazfit Watch app for Android leaves a lot to be desired. Both are horribly slow to sync with the watch. At times, I feel like something has gone wrong. In comparison, Notify & Fitness for Amazfit is heads and shoulders better. Also, the data remains locally in the phone, and not get transmitted to some server in mainland China. But for the app to work with my Stratos, I have to compulsorily install the Amazfit Watch app for the QR code to be scanned and paired by the phone. Seems a bummer, as I have to install two different apps for the same job.
Is there any way of altogether bypassing the Mi Fit or Amazfit Watch app for Stratos to work similarly?
Hi, I've never had other smartwatch. I got it as a gift. First of all I was surprised that it doesn't work standalone at all. You have to install MiFit app to just start watch to work (after quite long time of installing/updating watch's firmware or so). What is more, You have to create an account on a manufacturer server to use the watch. Than the data are synchronized between a watch and phone. I do not feel comfortable to use closed source apps due to fact I do not know what of my data (in fact) are collected. Even if a manufacturer says in terms and conditions that he collects just these and those data You never know it, You can not check it due to fact that software is closed source. So I did create an account, started the watch and than uninstalled MiFit app. I can use the watch only as regular watch (to check the time), check my pulse from time to time and how many steps I did during the day- that's all. Do all smartwatches work this way? Why do I have to have MiFit app working in background, be connected with manufacturer's server to transfer data between my phone and watch? Why bluetooth enabled is not enough once both devices has been paired? Is there any way to control the watch without MiFit app installed and working? Thanks in advance.
You definitely need a MiFit profile.
As alternative app you can use "Notify and Fitness" app, that can be used without the MiFit.

Regards,
Thanks for a reply Prompter. I know that I need a profile to activate a watch. My main problem with using This watch is that I do not want to be constantly connected to server with an app which is closed source. You told me about an alternative app which is also closed source :/. I know that I can use gadgetbridge open source app after created a profile with MiFit, but Than I need a rooted phone to obtain an individual special key for my device. I have no rooted phone. ..
