Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazfit GTR 2

  • Premium design with a sleek, borderless AMOLED display
  • Excellent battery life (up to 14 days in typical use)
  • Built-in speaker and microphone for Bluetooth phone calls
  • Local music storage (3GB) for phone-free listening
  • Comprehensive health tracking (Heart Rate, SpO2, Sleep, Stress)
  • Built-in GPS and Alexa voice assistant integration
  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear

What we don't like about Amazfit GTR 2

  • Lack of third-party app support and limited ecosystem
  • Inconsistent GPS and heart rate accuracy during high-intensity workouts
  • Always-on display (AOD) significantly drains battery life
  • Cannot reply to notifications directly from the watch
  • Music storage does not support streaming services like Spotify
  • Zepp companion app can be unintuitive and prone to bugs
  • NFC payments are often restricted to specific regions (e.g., China)

Verdict

The Amazfit GTR 2 is a versatile smartwatch featuring a vibrant 1.39-inch AMOLED display with 326ppi pixel density and 3D curved, bezel-less glass. Key specifications include a 471mAh battery providing up to 14 days of typical usage, 5 ATM water resistance, and 3GB of local music storage. It is equipped with the BioTracker 2 PPG sensor for 24-hour heart rate monitoring, SpO2 measurement, sleep tracking, and supports 90+ sports modes with built-in GPS. Main pros include its premium design, built-in Alexa, and the ability to answer Bluetooth calls directly via its speaker and microphone. However, notable cons include the lack of third-party app support due to its custom OS, occasional inaccuracies in high-intensity heart rate tracking, and a somewhat slow GPS connection.
