Is My Amazfit Watch Supported by Runna?
Important: Most devices support workout syncing from Runna to the Zepp app, but importing workouts from Zepp to Amazfit watches is only available for the following devices:
Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro (this means the standard T-Rex Non-Pro is not fully supported)
Amazfit Balance 2
We're actively working with Amazfit to extend workout syncing to other devices, so stay tuned for future updates!
To view the list of supported devices, go to: Zepp app → Workout tab → '+' in My Training Plan → View Supported Devices List.
How to Pair Your Amazfit Watch with Your Runna Plan
To pair your Amazfit watch with your Runna plan:
Open your Runna Profile
Select Connected Apps and Devices → Watches → Connect Watch and choose Amazfit.
You’ll be prompted to log in with your Zepp credentials and upon successful connection, your Amazfit will appear under 'watches' in the Runna app.
What to expect after connecting:
For Runna Premium users, your next two full weeks of workouts (unskipped and not completed) will sync to the Zepp app.
For free trial users, only the workouts scheduled within your free trial week will sync to the Zepp app.
When you switch plan or edit your Runna plan, we’ll automatically update your workouts in your Zepp app for you. And when you mark a workout as complete, we’ll remove it from your Zepp profile.
How to Sync Your Workouts from Runna to Amazfit Manually
After connecting your Zepp account to Runna, our Amazfit integration will automatically sync the next two weeks of unskipped, not completed workouts to your Zepp App.
You may need to manually trigger a sync in the Zepp app:
Open the Zepp app
On the home screen, scroll down and wait for a tick to appear
How to Sync Your Amazfit Workouts to Strava
Connecting Strava to the Zepp app allows your workouts to automatically sync from your Amazfit device to Strava once your activity is complete. If you use both Runna and Strava, we recommend to also sync Amazfit with Strava so your Amazfit-recorded activities show up in Strava.
To connect Strava to your Zepp account:
Open the Zepp app on your phone
Tap Profile in the bottom-right corner
Select Add accounts (or Third-party accounts, depending on your app version)
Tap Strava from the list of available services
You’ll be redirected to Strava - log in and authorize Zepp to connect to your account
Once authorized, you’ll be taken back to the Zepp app, where Strava should now appear as connected
Past activities won’t sync retroactively - only workouts recorded after connecting Strava will be shared.
If you don’t see your Runna activities sync to Strava when using an Amazfit device, please ensure that your Zepp account is also synced to Strava, even if Runna is also connected to Strava. If issues persist, please contact support so we can further investigate.
What Your Amazfit Watch Can — and Can't — Do with Runna
See your upcoming workouts on your wrist: scheduled Runna sessions appear on your Amazfit watch (with Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro and Amazfit Balance 2 only).
Plan and workout updates: If you switch plans, adjust or make changes to your current Runna plan, your Runna workouts in Zepp app will automatically update to reflect those changes.
Completed runs sync back to Runna after each session with all metrics captured by your Amazfit watch. They will also link to planned runs.
Real-time metrics: heart rate, cadence, calories, distance, and pace tracked while you run
When you mark a workout as complete, it will also be removed from the Zepp app
Non-running activities don't sync into Runna
Recommended Amazfit Settings for Runna Workouts
There are some settings that we recommend configuring to make the most out of your Runna workouts when downloaded to your Amazfit watch.
Turn off auto-lap
By default, your Amazfit watch will automatically create a new ‘lap’ every 1km or 1mi. For the longer splits that we set you (e.g., 2km repeats) this means that the splits will automatically be lapped (split into a new step in your run) mid-way through which makes analysing your average pace afterwards difficult. We recommend turning off auto-lap when following your Runna workouts, but also recommend turning it back on again if you’re going for a casual run, time trial or race so that your watch will keep you updated on your pace. The steps to turn off auto-lap depends on your watch model, please check out this link to see how to turn off auto lap on your Amazfit device.
Turn off auto-pause
Auto-pause will automatically pause your workout when it detects that you’ve stopped moving (e.g., at traffic lights). However, this can be a problem when running interval workouts since while you’re resting, even if walking around, it can detect that you’ve stopped running and pause the workout including the timer to start running again.
We recommend turning off auto-pause and getting into the habit of manually pausing and resuming the workout when you are forced to stop running temporarily (e.g., at traffic lights). The steps to turn off auto-lap depends on your watch model, please check out this link to see how to turn off auto pause on your Amazfit device.
Turn on Audio Prompts
If you connect your compatible Amazfit watch to your headphones to listen to music or podcasts, you can also receive pace and audio cues through your headphones during your run.
In the Runna app:
Go to Plan → Profile (top-left)
Select Phone Recording
Make sure Run Splits and Pace Alerts are switched ON
Adjust the volume if needed
On your compatible Amazfit watch:
Open the Workout mode on your watch
Go to Workout Settings or Settings → Workout Options
Enable Voice Broadcast or Voice Prompts
On some Amazfit models, this option only appears once you enter the specific sport or activity settings.
If your watch does not support audio cues then you'll still receive vibration notifications. To enable these:
Open the Zepp app on your phone
Go to Profile → My Devices → [Your Amazfit] → Notifications & Reminders
Enable App Notifications and toggle the apps you want alerts from
Make sure your phone has granted notification access to the Zepp app so alerts can reach your watch
How to Start a Workout on Your Amazfit Watch
On your Amazfit watch, press the side button to open the app list.
Select Workout
Choose Outdoor/Treadmill Run
Wait for GPS to connect
Tap Start to begin your run
Complete your workout as planned.
Tap Finish and save the activity on your watch.
What Happens After I Complete My Workout With My Amazfit Watch?
Once you’ve completed a run on your Amazfit device, your workout will automatically sync to the Runna app via the Zepp app.
For planned speed workouts, this sync enables automatic pace insight analysis in the Runna app. You’ll also receive any relevant mileage or training insights, helping you to understand how your workout went and any recommendations for your plan.
If you’ve connected Strava from within the Zepp app, your activity will also sync from the Zepp app to Strava.
Can I Add Strength Workouts to Zepp?
At the moment, we can only support syncing 'Run' type workouts to and from your Zepp App, and to your Amazfit watch. However, you can still use our Calendar Sync Feature to schedule and track your strength training in the Runna app. We hope to enable syncing of other workout types in the future!
FAQs
Do I need to update my Runna app to enable the Amazfit integration?
Yes, you will need to be on at least app version 8.21.0. You can update your Runna app by heading to the App Store or Google Play Store.
I’m having trouble syncing my completed workouts from Zepp to Runna
If your watch is compatible with importing completed workouts into Runna, sync issues can sometimes be caused by a poor internet connection or a temporary connection error.
A quick workaround is to disconnect and reconnect your Amazfit account in Runna:
In the Runna app, go to Connected Apps & Devices
Disconnect Amazfit/Zepp
Reconnect and follow the prompts to authorise again
I’m having trouble syncing my Amazfit activities to Strava
If your completed Amazfit activities aren’t showing on Strava:
Check the activity appears in the Zepp app first (this confirms it has synced from the watch)
In the Zepp app, disconnect and reconnect Strava
Confirm you’re logged into the correct Strava account
What happens if I delete an activity in Zepp or on my Amazfit watch?
Once an activity has synced from Amazfit/Zepp to Runna, deleting it in Zepp or on the watch will not delete it in Runna.
Can I run without my phone and only with my Amazfit Watch?
Yes, you can leave your phone behind if you start your Runna workout from the Amazfit Watch. Your completed workout will then sync back to Runna.
