Review on ๐Ÿ’ช Stay Fit and Connected with the Amazfit GTS Smartwatch - 14 Day Battery, Heart Rate Monitor, GPS, Sleep and Swim Tracking, and More! by Candra แ Œ

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Expected more from the purchase, but not the worst option.

The price is very high, since this is not a smart watch, but just a fitness bracelet with a large screen. Music control, I could not even imagine that this elementary function can be spoiled like that. I thought it would work. You turn on the music on your phone and that's it, the player appears in the clock and you calmly control the music. In reality, it's not all right. You turn on the music on the phone, then open the music control on the watch and wait from 3-20 seconds (here itโ€™s lucky, sometimes it doesnโ€™t work at all) to receive data from the phone. Then you press let's say "next track" and there is a delay of 3-7 seconds and the track switches. Volume works the same way. And the saddest thing is all this happens all the time, as you go out on the clock from the player. If this synchronization took place once before switching on, I would not say anything. The next minus stemming from the fact that a fitness bracelet, not a watch. Music control is not possible when using a stopwatch, timer, etc. There is no multitasking at all. You can do only one action. As I wrote above, the firmware is very raw. Translated into 2022, only the main menu items. Cast dials and AOD in English. AOD to choose from, only two dials, arrow and digital. As for the measurements, everything is at the level of Beep or MiBand. The applied rendering gives, but does not guarantee accuracy. As for me, the bracelet is not bad, but it climbed too high with this price, there are a lot of competitors of the same company nearby with much more functionality. And if you add a little, you can take a Samsung or the same Apple, albeit an older model and not the same autonomy. But on the other hand, with a normal level of measurement of indicators, and not with exemplary and full-fledged functions of smart watches.

Pros
  • Design and overall build quality. The battery lasts for 4 days with AOD off. Does a good job of getting notifications.
Cons
  • The price is very high. Firmware, to put it mildly, raw. The menu slows down when scrolling, the sensor works clumsily. If you want to open the curtain, you swipe back, if you want to swipe to the side, it will move to the bottom. Translated into 2022, only the main menu items. Cast dials and AOD in English.
