3. App version updated on iOS, but not on Watch

Sometimes, the YaoYao iOS app version is updated to 2.0.1, but the watch version is only 2.0.0.

2. Don’t using YaoYao both with other workout app together.

The normal error is in the 1% to 5% range, adjust the sensitivity on watch app setting if the error is smaller than the actual times. Turn up the sensitivity. Otherwise, turn it down. (Just for reference, if your speed is greater than 180/min , it is recommended to set to 5, if the speed is less than 90/min, you can set to 2.)

Sensitivity settings. Sentivity

5. Heart rate/Calorie data is inaccurate?

Firstly, YaoYao’s calorie data is calculated by watchOS, based on heart rate, exercise sensor strength, time, type of exercise, age, etc., and is not a completely linear result, normally around 600 total calories in an hour. Secondly, dynamic calories refer to calories burned during exercise and do not include base energy burned.

You should wear watch more tighter to make the electrical and optical heart sensors work well. Otherwise, it will lead to inaccurate heart rate and calorie data, such as: the watch app shows the heart rate gray, workout results detailed data has flat heart rate curve.

Total Calories burned = Active Calories Burned + Base Energy Burned

YaoYao shows active calories by default, and total calories are shown in the workout details. Not wearing the strap tightly can seriously affect the accuracy of the heart rate and calorie data, and it is recommended that you wear it tighter, since heart rate has the most impact on calories!

6.App Health Privacy Authorization (one of the reasons why workout data is not recorded/Heart rate not show on the phone)

The first run of the App will request health privacy authorization to read or write various types of workout data to Apple Health, which can be opened manually if ignored.
