Well, let me tell you, using the GPS on the Redmi Watch 3 ain’t as hard as some folks might think. In fact, it’s pretty simple if you just follow a few steps. Now, if you’re like me, and you don’t want to be lugging around that big old phone when you’re out for a walk or a run, then you’re in the right place. The Redmi Watch 3 got your back with its built-in GPS, and that’s what we’re gonna talk about today. So, sit tight, and I’ll walk you through it, step by step.
Step 1: Turn On Your Redmi Watch 3
First thing’s first, you gotta make sure your watch is on, right? Just press the side button, and the screen should light up. If it don’t, maybe you need to charge it a bit. You don’t wanna be running around with a dead battery, do ya?
Step 2: Connect the Watch to Your Phone
Now, to get that GPS working, you gotta make sure your watch is connected to your phone. You’ll need to have the Mi Fitness app on your phone, that’s the one that helps you pair your watch with your phone. Open the app, and follow the steps to link ‘em together. Once they’re connected, you’ll be good to go. Don’t skip this part, or your GPS won’t work right!
Step 3: Enable GPS on the Watch
Now that your watch is all hooked up to your phone, it’s time to turn on that GPS. On your watch, swipe down from the top of the screen, and you should see a bunch of settings. Look for the GPS symbol, and make sure it’s turned on. You’ll see a little icon pop up that shows your GPS is working.
Step 4: Choose the Right Mode
If you’re out for a run, or maybe even a bike ride, you wanna make sure you’ve selected the right mode. On the watch, press the side button to open the menu, then scroll down until you find the “Workout” option. When you choose it, you’ll see a bunch of different activities to pick from. Whether you’re running, walking, or cycling, pick the one that matches what you’re doing. This will help the GPS track your movement more accurately.
Step 5: Start Your Workout and Track Your Route
Once you’ve chosen your workout mode, hit the “Start” button, and the watch will start tracking your location. Now, the best part about this GPS is, you don’t need to have your phone with you! The built-in GPS on the Redmi Watch 3 will track your route for you, and you’ll be able to see it right on the watch’s screen as you go along. No need to worry about getting lost. It’s like having a little helper on your wrist!
Step 6: View Your Route After the Workout
Once you’re done with your run or walk, and you stop the workout, you can go back into the app on your phone, and check out the route you took. You’ll see a map showing where you’ve been, all thanks to that GPS built right into the watch. Pretty neat, right?
Some Extra Tips:
- Battery Life: GPS can drain the battery pretty fast, so if you plan on using it for a long time, make sure your watch is fully charged. The Redmi Watch 3 is good for up to 9 days of battery life, but using GPS will shorten that a bit.
- Weather: If you’re out on a rainy day, don’t worry. The watch is 5 ATM water-resistant, so you don’t have to fret about a little water getting on it.
- Accuracy: The GPS on this watch uses both GPS and GLONASS, so you get good, accurate tracking no matter where you are.
So, there you go! That’s how you use the GPS on your Redmi Watch 3. Simple as pie, right? Now, you can go out and enjoy your walks, runs, or rides, and never have to worry about losing your way again. And the best part? You don’t need that heavy phone weighing you down. Just your trusty watch, and you’re all set. Go ahead, give it a try, and see how it works for you!
