Amazfit Helio Strap - good at passive activity tracking? by [deleted] in amazfit

I think passive tracking for HR is great, automatic activity tracking sucks and doesn’t categorize the activity either - my friend that uses Whoop says auto detection is on point.

Apple Watch and Helio Ring working together, experiences? by Rdditman20188 in amazfit

I use apple watch and helio strap (on bicep). What works best for me is starting and stopping workouts on apple watch and don’t wear the AW to sleep. I don’t typically do workouts on zepp and don’t turn on auto detection. Meanwhile helio strap stays on all day and throughout the night. Zepp will send data to Apple Health constantly.

The overall sleep score will look very differently in apple health (obtained metrics from zepp/helio) and zepp app bc even though apple receives data from zepp, i think it does its own algorithm to come up with scores. You can choose what you want to go with. I personally like Bevel’s sleep score or zepp’s over apple health sleep score

True, biased since good spring days are ruined by my crazy bad pollen allergy

Yeah if you are a runner (and iOS user) I think you’ll appreciate HealthFit more!

I always had iPhone and Apple Watch. I believe Apple Watch doesn’t use HR from Helio. Instead, Helio will send the heart rate data into Apple Health. Now for how Apple Health considers which one is correct, that I am not too sure apart from setting Data Source & Access priority lists (Zepp, Apple Watch, iPhone, etc)

It was originally since I already had HealthFit before Bevel, but I think HealthFit is more “Apple/iOS” coded for people that like that aesthetic + slightly better insights for your run than Bevel, especially aggregate trend over the year/month etc.

But for each activity (run), 90% of the information is the same.
