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 Hotaru Kai ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad product, but you can do better.

Due to the fact that this is not a smart watch but rather a fitness bracelet with a large screen, the price is significantly higher than average. Controlling the music is such a fundamental ability that I find it hard to fathom how it could be compromised in such a way. I believed that it would be successful. You activate the music on your phone, and immediately afterward, a player appears in the clock, where you can calmly control the music being played. In point of fact, it's not going to work out. You begin by activating the music on the phone, after which you open the music control on the watch and wait anywhere from three to twenty seconds (if you're lucky; occasionally it doesn't work at all) for the watch to receive data from the phone. Then you press whatever button it is, let's say "next track," and after a delay of three to seven seconds, the track changes. The same logic applies to volume. And the most heartbreaking part is that all of this keeps happening as you move further and further away from the player on the clock. If this synchronization was performed just once before the power was turned on, I would not comment on it. The following strike against originates from the fact that the item in question is a fitness bracelet and not a watch. When using a stopwatch, timer, or any of the like, you will not have control over the music. There is absolutely no capacity for multitasking. You are only able to take one of these actions. As I mentioned earlier, the firmware is in its unfinished state. Only the primary items on the menu have been translated into 2022. The dials and AOD are to be cast in English. AOD is available, and the only dials available are digital and arrow. In terms of the measurements, everything is at the Beep or MiBand level. The rendering technique that was used provides an approximation, but it does not guarantee accuracy. My opinion is that the bracelet is serviceable, but I believe the asking price is excessive given the number of similar products available from other retailers in the area that offer significantly more features. And if you add a little more, you can take the same Apple or Samsung, even though it will be an older model and won't have as much autonomy. On the other hand, with a standard level of measurement of indicators and not with the exemplary and fully-fledged functions that smart watches typically have.

Pros
  • The overall design and construction quality. When the AOD is turned off, the battery will last for four days. Performs an admirable job of acquiring notifications.
Cons
  • The cost is prohibitively expensive. To put it mildly, the firmware is in its raw state. When scrolling, the menu moves more slowly than usual, and the sensor is difficult to use. Swiping backwards will open the curtain; swiping to the side will cause it to move to the bottom of the screen. Only the primary items on the menu have been translated into 2022. The dials and AOD are to be cast in English.
