Review on Amazfit GTR 2 Smartwatch with Alexa, GPS, and 90 Sports Modes - 14-Day Battery Life, Heart Rate Tracking, and Waterproof for Men and Women (Classic) by Kritbodee Chaicharoe ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I am dissatisfied with the product, there are no positive qualities.

In decreasing order of importance of the problem: 1. GPS. it's just trash . this watch was purchased for use as a recorder for outdoor activities (biking, running, tracking). one of the reasons for purchasing the ability to pair with Strava and import workouts there, so as not to carry your phone with you. For this, of course, GPS is used. so in this watch it works badly. Firstly, it searches for satellites for a very long time, then it constantly loses them, in the sense that it can happen every 5 minutes if you drive in the forest, if in an open area or in the mountains, the situation improves, but losses occur anyway. Secondly, when the GPS is running, the battery sits down extremely quickly. for several hours of activity using GPS, the battery is discharged by 30-50%, for example - this summer in the Caucasus I wrote tracks, 2 days the first 8 hours, the second 6 hours. the battery died completely . for comparison, the comrade HONOR Watch with a full daily recording of tracks lived all 10 days of the campaign. In short, this is a very significant drawback for me (at the same time, I note that without using GPS, the battery lasts for 8-9 days. 2. The pedometer is lying in a big way . at first there were only sensations in this regard, but rather quickly noticed that the watch counts steps when gesticulating with hands . i. E. for example, you wash your hair in the shower and they count all the sniffing of the head as steps. I don’t know how other watches cope with this and whether they cope, but here the error in steps by day is about + 15% 3. pools are considered acceptable when you set the length of the track before the swim. when swimming in open water, it’s a disaster, right at random, sometimes everything is normal, sometimes even half of the swim is lost. quite well define the style (crawl, breaststroke) 4. The glass is very unstable, well, I have everything in scratches, and there are deep ones. not very critical and yes, you can seal it with a film . but damn it, this is a street device for sports . is it really impossible to put the glass stronger, especially since the watch is not a cheap segment . RESULT - I think to change.

Pros
  • feature set is excellent. good design. comfortable regular bracelet, light, almost not noticeable on the wrist. good application from the manufacturer (ZEPP) I chose this watch because their module is used by xiaomi and a number of other manufacturers, which for me meant, firstly, decent hardware, and secondly, cheaper than famous manufacturers, although the price is still high. in general, the watch is normal, but there are a number of minuses that are critical for me personally and essentially nullify all the pluses.
Cons
  • Pedometer, GPS module operation, swimming data, glass

It was lucky that my colleague bought them and a week later he sold them to me for 10 thousand. This allowed me to understand what exactly did not suit me in them and sell them for the same money in a month.

Its pros: High quality and beautiful. With its cons. This is not Xiaomi. The application with the MI9 phone does not work at all. Before that, I tried the Honor bracelet (!) - no problems with default synchronization.
