Key Takeaways:

• Understand the step count algorithm of Amazfit GTR 2
• Follow troubleshooting steps for accurate step count
• Learn how to adjust the initial step count value
• Verify the distance accuracy
• Ensure real distance display on your Amazfit GTR 2 or Amazfit Bip

Understanding the Step Count Algorithm

The step count algorithm in the Amazfit GTR 2 is designed to accurately track your steps based on your height, weight, and gender. It utilizes a sophisticated algorithm to calculate the distance covered by analyzing the swinging motion of your arm while walking at a normal pace.

However, it’s important to note that certain activities such as playing tennis, badminton, or basketball may not be accurately counted as steps. This is because the algorithm primarily focuses on detecting the arm swing motion associated with regular walking or jogging.

If your arms are stationary while you work out or if you’re carrying something that restricts the natural swing of your arm, the step count may not register accurately. It’s essential to maintain a natural arm swing for the algorithm to track your steps effectively.

Troubleshooting Steps for Accurate Step Count

If you are still experiencing inaccurate step count with your Amazfit GTR 2, there are troubleshooting steps you can follow to fix the issue. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Press the button and go to Settings > System & Security.

2. Swipe up until you find Huami Lab and Feedback.

3. Tap on Huami Lab and enable Sensor Capturing.

4. Choose the “Walking” activity and start your walk (ensure GPS is available).

5. Walk for about 1 kilometer and then turn off Sensor Capturing.

6. Tap on Feedback to generate reports.

7. In the Amazfit Watch App, go to Profile/Me and send the Amazfit ID.

8. Submit a feedback with the step count and provide screenshots of the Routes and Graph from the activity.

Following these troubleshooting steps should help you resolve the issue of inaccurate step count on your Amazfit GTR 2. By enabling Sensor Capturing and generating reports through the Feedback feature, you can provide valuable information to Amazfit support to assist in fixing the problem.

Adjusting Initial Step Count Value

If you find that the step count on your Amazfit GTR 2 is not accurate, you can adjust the initial step count value to improve accuracy. By doing this, your device will start counting steps after a certain number of steps have been taken. Follow these steps to adjust the initial step count value:

1. Swipe down from the watch home screen and tap on Additional settings.
2. Scroll up until you find Huami Lab and Feedback.
3. Tap on Huami Lab and enable Activity Data Collection.
4. Choose the “Walking” activity and start your walk (ensure GPS is available).
5. Walk for about 1 kilometer and then turn off Activity Data Collection.
6. Tap on Feedback to generate reports.
7. In the Amazfit App, go to Profile and send the Amazfit ID.
8. Submit a feedback with the step count and provide screenshots of the Routes and Graph from the activity.

Following the above steps will help you adjust the initial step count value on your Amazfit GTR 2, ensuring more accurate step tracking and better fitness monitoring.

Verifying Distance Accuracy

Some users have reported that while the step count may not be accurate, the built-in GPS of the Amazfit GTR 2 registers the correct distance. This can be verified by comparing the distance measured by the watch with a mapping service like Google Maps. However, it should be noted that the Amazfit Bip may not display the total distance accurately, resulting in a lower distance number than the actual distance covered.

One way to confirm the accuracy of the distance measured by the Amazfit GTR 2 is to compare it with the distance displayed on a reliable mapping service such as Google Maps. By tracking a known route and comparing the distances, you can determine if the watch’s GPS measurement is accurate.

However, it’s important to keep in mind that the Amazfit Bip may not provide precise distance measurements. Users have reported that the Amazfit Bip tends to display a lower distance number than the actual distance covered. Therefore, if distance accuracy is critical to you, the Amazfit GTR 2 is a more reliable choice.

Ensuring Real Distance Display

To ensure the real distance is displayed on your Amazfit GTR 2 or Amazfit Bip, consider the following steps:

Show Separate Fields for Activities

One way to ensure accurate distance display is by showing separate fields for the total of all activities using GPS and steps. This allows you to track the distance covered solely through steps and the distance tracked using GPS, giving you a better understanding of your overall activity.

Calculate Distance Based on Stride

Another method is to calculate the distance using a stride calculation based on your height. By excluding any movement done during exercise, such as when pushing a stroller, you can obtain a more accurate measurement of your overall distance. Displaying combined steps and distance provides a holistic view of your activity.

Set a Threshold for Improbable Steps

In some cases, the number of steps and stride calculation may result in an improbable value, such as an unusually long stride. To address this, set a threshold where steps are calculated from the distance covered. This helps to ensure that your step count aligns with a reasonable distance traveled, improving the accuracy of your overall activity tracking.

By implementing these steps, you can optimize the real distance display on your Amazfit GTR 2 or Amazfit Bip, providing you with more precise data to track your fitness goals.

Visualizing Total Distance in MiFit App

Currently, users have reported that the MiFit app does not accurately display the total distance, especially when combining activities involving GPS and steps. This can make it challenging to track your overall fitness progress. Fortunately, there are ways to improve the accuracy of the total distance displayed in the MiFit app.

Separate Fields for GPS Activities and Steps

To ensure a more accurate representation of the total distance, it is recommended to display separate fields for GPS activities and steps in the MiFit app. By segregating these measurements, users can have a clearer understanding of the distance covered through GPS tracking and the total steps taken throughout the day.

This separation allows the MiFit app to provide a more reliable overview of your overall physical activity, ensuring that the displayed total distance is higher than the sum of all activities. This way, you can have a comprehensive view of your progress and stay motivated to achieve your fitness goals.
