It deletes my Thai fonts. Now I can't read Thai notifications :(

It also un-root my watch so I cannot manually install the fonts I need too.

Yesterday I installed version 2.8.0.5.
- Display timespan since last charging is back now (it disappeared since three Versions back)
- It is no longer possible to configure daily step goal. The watch is showing standard value of 8000 steps, but the App shows my custom value of 6000 steps
- it wipes all my custom watchfaces
- it requires unpair -> new pairing

it works great for me better battery life
for daily step goal you can modify it from settings then apps then step goals
bigger buttons to silent or close calls

How did you do it on old ROM? For me it was a problem from the beginning.

I don't know where to and if you can still trace a previous exercise. Is there anyone else with this?
Tap "Run", move down to "Settings" and try "Course import". I don't use it, so may be you will need to export previous exercise.

Also, I cannot find official info, but there is "Devices" in this menu. It's about bluetooth and basically you will find your headset there. But! If you switch on/off your headset during activity, you will see heart rate icon near headset icon.

I don't seem to get the update on mine, is the release dependant on your zone?
My ROM version is 1.3.8a

After updating my Pace Smartwatch firmware to 2.8.0.5 the recording of activities -i did a cycling tour- gets resetet after about 90 minutes. All counters start from 0, but only time counts up again. After finishing the activity no data gets synced with the phone app.
I already opened a ticket for that inside the app.

Does anyone else have such an issue?

After updating to the last ROM, my watch battery drain drastically. After 100% charge and 2 hours later a 20% has gone. Anyone knows what's the problem and how i can fix it?

Thank you!

I also updated to the last version. There are new watchfaces as well, including some which were available only in Stratos. :))

Is "voice prompt" an option on this ROM? Should be under Run-> Settings-> More Settings. The first option should be Voice Prompt*

*Voice Prompt tells you what your distance/pace is via voice when you are listening to music through bluetooth.

    I've just got a notification that a new official international firmware for my Pace is available: 2.8.05. It downloaded OK (with some glitches, but luckily downloader resumes after a "fail", does not start from scratch every time) and has just been installed on my watch.

    I am curious what is really new and what just a bug fix. The high version number of firmware might mean major upgrade.

    The upgrade adds additional languages, but requires new pairing, that is "scan the QR code" procedure. I wonder if this is really necessary?

    Obviously, this pairing procedure wiped my custom watch faces, but retained music and gpx files.

    Otherwise, firmware looks stable after a couple of minutes of usage and checking.
    New "apps":
    Disconnect Alert
    Standup Alert (on/off)

    New activities:
    Tennis
    Soccer
    Run indoor

    its a 10% deploy only, not everybody will get it now, it will be randomly deployed only to 10 percent of all pace users.

    this update looks so cool . waiting patiently ....not so patiently

    Don't hold your breath. Got 2.8.1.0 earlier this week. All sports activities are still inaccurate. Example - HR is way off, when true HR is 145 the watch is showing 107. After 25 minutes of indoor activity (Run Indoor,Elliptical Trainer, Indoor Cycling) it starts showing near true HR. Distance is still off by a large margin. Outdoor activities are the same, with GPS distance measurements still inaccurate. I took a short 10 minute break during Run activity and was standing still, the distance counter was still moving forward. All of these were measured against a Nike chest strap and an Apple watch 3, both of which showed the same data with a difference of less than 1% between them. The last accurate ROM as far as sports activities was before 1.3.6.

    My watch is now obsolete. I have been in regular correspondence with Amazfit support since March, their consistent message has been that they are aware of the issues, that they have found the bug and are working on it and that I should wait rather than send device back to vendor. The Support agent has received error reports and screen shots from me, and claimed to have passed them to developers.

    I would not advise opening a session with support using Watch/App, as you will not have a copy of correspondence. I suggest to contact support only by direct mail and then provide them with Error reports and data from Watch/App after you have mail confirmation of receipt from service agent.

    2.8.3.0 seems a bit smoother to me for now, screen is a bit more responsive and animations stutter less. Haven't had time to test the location app yet, so I'm not sure of its functionality. AmazMod and greatfit seem to be working fine. Nothing needed to be re-setup.
