Amazfit watches are known for long battery life and simple controls, but much of their value shows up in the phone app. The Zepp app is where your health trends, workout history, watch faces and settings live. A few minutes exploring it turns raw numbers into useful habits.

How the Zepp App Is Organized

  • Home: cards for steps, sleep, heart rate, stress, PAI and readiness.
  • Workouts: your activity history with maps, splits and heart rate.
  • Device: watch faces, mini apps, notifications and watch settings.
  • Profile: personal details, goals and linked accounts.

You can reorder or hide the home cards so the stats you care about sit at the top.

Key Scores Explained

The table below explains the scores Amazfit users see most.

Score What It Measures How to Use It
PAI Heart rate based activity over the past 7 days Aim to keep it at 100 or higher
Readiness Recovery from sleep, HRV and resting heart rate Train hard on high days, ease off on low days
Sleep score Duration, stages and restfulness Spot nights that need more rest
Stress Daytime heart rate variability Notice patterns and take breaks

Quick answer: PAI shows whether you moved enough this week, and readiness shows whether today is a good day to push.

Workouts and Training

  1. Open a workout to see the route map, pace, heart rate zones and splits.
  2. Use the training section to follow a structured running plan on supported watches.
  3. Set your heart rate zones in the profile. Our heart rate zone calculator gives a starting point.
  4. Review weekly totals to keep training load steady.

Personalizing the Watch

  • Watch faces: browse the store in the Device tab and pick one that shows your key stats.
  • Mini apps: add extra tools such as calculators, timers or games on supported models.
  • Notifications: choose which apps can alert you to save battery.
  • Shortcuts: set button and swipe shortcuts for the features you use most.

Linking Other Apps

In the profile section, open linked or third-party accounts to connect Strava, Apple Health on iPhone, or Health Connect on Android. Our guides to Apple Health and Health Connect explain how that shared data works.

Final Thoughts

The Zepp app is the control center for any Amazfit watch. Arrange the home cards, learn what PAI and readiness mean, and link the other fitness apps you use, and the watch becomes much more than a step counter.
