Review on πŸ’ͺ Stay Fit and Connected with the Amazfit GTS Smartwatch - 14 Day Battery, Heart Rate Monitor, GPS, Sleep and Swim Tracking, and More! by Quan Tran (Louis Trn ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe Ill buy it again.

There are some very ambiguous qualities that, in theory, should have been beneficial, but in practice, they were not. 1. The presence of always-on-display, which drastically reduces the amount of autonomy that workers have in their work. Personally, I don't see the point in it because you can simply turn your wrist slightly to see the time. Isn't that enough? 2. There is an error in the presentation of the weather. It may seem like a wonderful feature that you can check the weather without looking at your phone, but in reality, it only displays the average temperature for the day and night. It is currently displaying incorrectly; while it should be +3 during the day when the sun is out, it is instead +17 in the evening. Contradicts the actual readings that were done. 3. Although it is not possible to play music on the watch, this functionality was not advertised as being included, despite the fact that it would be very convenient to have. There is a technology known as GPS that enables you to run without taking your phone with you and still obtain accurate data; however, since running without music is not enjoyable, you will still need to bring your phone with you. 4. There is a timer and a stopwatch, but neither one can be turned off by the user. Even though it is very small, the time that the timer is currently running is still visible in the top right corner of the screen. You have the option of selecting the appropriate time for the timer from the ones that are suggested for you, or you can set it yourself, which is unquestionably an advantage. 5. Although the display is made of Gorilla glass, after only a week I noticed a scratch on it. Already after purchasing the GTS, I began to compare them with the MiBand 4 (according to reviews). At first, I was disappointed that it appeared to be almost the same in terms of functionality; however, with the exception of GPS (the reason this device was purchased), it was not required in practice. But there are still benefits, and because of them, an overpayment of six is something that I personally consider to be justified: + appearance - has a very nice and solid look when held in the hand + larger screen + more detailed display of activity information + complete alarm management + PAI If the question of expense is of the utmost importance, then you need only concern yourself with MiBand 4. And if you add a little bit more, you will be able to purchase the Huawei Watch GT 2, which is a fully functional smart watch. In general, I am pleased with the purchase; in comparison to the MiBand 2, which I have been using for more than two years, the device appears to be very good. However, this is not the best option because you desire more value for your money.

Pros
  • 1. Have a pleasant look and avoid appearing to be of low quality 2. Their weight in the hand is even less than that of a MiBand. 3. Large display of such high quality that it makes reading the notifications on it a real pleasure. Everything can be seen clearly even when the sunlight is shining directly on it because of the AMOLED matrix. 4. The brightness can be adjusted, and it can also be set to automatically adjust. I can't use the second one because, even when it's dark out, the brightness is still higher than it should be for some reason, and that makes it impossible for me to see anything. Because changing the brightness requires only three actions (moving down the curtain, clicking on the brightness, and reacting), I find that manually adjusting it is the more convenient option for me. 5. The ability to use the watch to control music played on the user's phone. Owners of Bluetooth headphones who like to move around their apartments while listening to music but not their phones will find this feature to be very convenient. Yes, and even with wired ones it is convenient because you do not need to take your phone out of your pocket once again because you can do everything with your hand. 6. The ability to fully control the alarm clock from the main clock itself, including the ability to turn it on and off as well as change the time and day. 7. In comparison to the Mi Band, wireless charging is much more convenient because there is no need to remove the display from the strap. 8. The PAI mode is a very interesting feature that analyzes the activity that you do throughout the day (while also taking your heart rate into account), and then it awards you points each day for being active (the goal is 100 points per week). Encourages activity, but only for people who are typically very sedentary. It is not difficult to earn 100 points if you perform three fitness workouts of a medium intensity lasting half an hour each and walk around the block every day. People who have a normal heart rate are the only ones for whom this function makes any sense; those who have tachycardia will continue to rack up points even when they are at rest.
Cons
  • 1. Strap The first couple of hours were marked by itching caused by him. Then it returned to its normal state, but the skin continues to sweat under the strap, which results in discomfort (even if it is greatly weakened). In general, I am not a fan of silicone straps; instead, I prefer the Milanese loop; however, the silicone strap that comes with the MiBand was more comfortable than other options in this regard. 2. The flashlight is hardly of any use because it is so feeble. 3. There is no way to respond to incoming calls or messages 4. There is a significant lack of NFC support, but this is a limitation shared by all Amazfit devices. 5. The information regarding your sleep can only be viewed through the application, and not through the watch itself. 6. Within the next 14 days, autonomy will be declared. The battery life significantly decreases with each passing minute that the heart rate is being monitored. I had enough for seven days, and during that time I turned the training mode on twice, the music control once, a timer several times, a timer several times, and notifications on constantly. The brightness was set to about thirty percent, and the screen turned off automatically after five seconds. In other words, the load on the clock was even below average, and the battery was sufficient for only fifty percent of what was declared. 7. Despite appearances, this is not a smart watch; rather, it is an advanced fitness bracelet designed to look like a watch.
