2. Daily Use
2.1 Wearing
We recommend wearing the watch at a moderate snugness, at a distance
of two fingertips between the watchband and your wrist, to ensure that
the optical heart rate monitor works properly.
During workouts, wear the watch at a comfortable snugness and ensure a
tight fit that does not slip. Do not fasten the watch too tightly, but ensure
that the watch doesn't move freely.
2.2 Activate on Raise
Amazfit Stratos 3 has the Activate on Raise function turned on by default.
The system recognizes your wrist-raising motion and automatically
activates the screen backlight. Each time you raise your wrist, you will be

5
able to see information on the watch face more clearly. Please note that
the Activate on Raise function only activates the screen backlight. If you
want to use functions of the watch after raising your wrist, first tap any
physical button to unlock the screen.
Amazfit Stratos 3 has a transflective MIP display, which is especially
suitable for outdoor use. The stronger the light, the clearer the screen will
be. If you are engaged in long-term outdoor activities in high-brightness
outdoor conditions, you can manually deactivate the Activate on Raise
function to extend the watch's battery life by going to
Settings>>Preferences>>Wrist raise.
2.3 Sleep and Unlock
If you do not touch screen or buttons for a period of time, the watch will
enter the sleep state. Amazfit Stratos 3 still displays the watch face in the
sleep state. The touch screen of the watch is not available in the sleep
state.
In the sleep state, you must first tap any physical button to unlock the
screen to access other watch functions.
2.4 Buttons
Amazfit Stratos 3 has four buttons.

6
2.4 Ultra Mode
The Amazfit Stratos 3 has two master control chips and two operating
systems, and is designed in consideration of professional workout and
daily usage battery life requirements. Ultra Mode not only supports daily
health data statistics, continuous heart rate monitoring, viewing
notifications, viewing weather information, NFC wallet, Alipay offline
payment, and other daily functions, but also supports a range of basic
workout modes. More workout modes are under development. You may
access more workout and smart functions in Ultra Mode through system
upgrades.

7
Swipe down on the watch face or press the UP button to go to the quick
setup. Tap the middle button to switch to the Ultra Mode of long battery
life. In Ultra Mode, battery life for the Amazfit Stratos 3 is 15 days under
daily usage conditions.
Note: Display effects and functions of Ultra Mode may differ from those
in Normal Mode.
2.5 Charging
Amazfit Stratos 3 is equipped with a magnetic charging base, which
automatically attracts the watch when near to the charging base. Please
note that the charging contact on the base is aligned with that on the
watch. Insert the other end of the USB cable to the USB power adapter,
and the watch display will indicate that it is in the charging state.

8
We recommend charging the watch via a computer USB socket or a
mobile phone charging plug. Also, ensure that the mobile phone charging
plug's rated input voltage is DC 5.0V and that the input current is greater
than 500mA.

throughout the day with algorithm support, and a heart rate value will be

13
measured every minute.
Single HR mode: Automatic measurement is performed every time you

Continuous HR Mode

heart rate app will display your heart rate per minute (BPM), as well as
your heart rate chart for the last four hours.

the Amazfit App.
Single HR Mode
After deactivating continuous heart rate mode, you will need to activate
the heart rate app on your watch to measure your heart rate. When
activated, a single measurement will begin automatically. During

measurement, try to remain relatively stationary to ensure the watch
produces accurate heart rate data.
Note: To improve the accuracy of heart rate measurement, wear the watch
correctly, and ensure that the wearing part is clean and free of sunscreen
smear.

under your account. You can view all your workout records in the Amazfit
App workout.
3.7 Weather
The weather app/widget allows you to view weather info for recent days
at any time. Given that weather info must be obtained through the mobile
phone network, you must connect the watch to the mobile phone for

calculated at 5M per song.
