For the running that reporters are accustomed to, various step types such as “warm-up”, “running”, “relaxation”, and “rest” can be arranged to adjust the time or distance in order. For example, set “Warm up” for 5 minutes and start “Run” for 2 kilometers, then “Relax” for 5 minutes, and then continue to “Run” to cycle to the end. After importing the plan into the watch, when the scheduled time and distance are reached, there will be a vibration reminder to tell the user the next step, targeting users who love sports and have related planning goals.
