What we like about Amazfit GTR 2 2022

  • Elegant and premium-looking design with a crisp 1.39-inch AMOLED display.
  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting up to 14 days on a single charge.
  • Accurate sleep tracking and general activity monitoring for casual users.
  • Built-in microphone and speaker for handling Bluetooth phone calls.
  • Local music storage (3GB) allowing for phone-free workouts with Bluetooth headphones.
  • Lightweight and comfortable enough for 24/7 wear.

What we don't like about Amazfit GTR 2 2022

  • Lack of third-party app support due to the proprietary operating system.
  • Notifications are non-interactive; users can view but not respond to messages.
  • Inconsistent GPS accuracy and heart rate spikes during high-intensity sports.
  • The Zepp companion app can be difficult to navigate and sometimes has translation issues.
  • Automatic workout detection is often slow to trigger or unreliable.
  • SpO2 (blood oxygen) readings can be finicky and difficult to capture consistently.

Verdict

The Amazfit GTR 2 (2022 New Version) is a sleek smartwatch featuring a 1.39-inch AMOLED display with a 326 ppi pixel density and a 3D curved, borderless design. It is equipped with the BioTracker 2 PPG sensor for 24-hour heart rate and SpO2 monitoring, supports over 90 sports modes with 5 ATM water resistance, and includes 3GB of local music storage alongside built-in Alexa and Bluetooth calling capabilities. Main pros include its vibrant always-on display, lightweight 32g aluminium alloy or stainless steel body, and an impressive battery life of up to 11 days under typical usage from its 471mAh cell. However, notable cons include occasional GPS inaccuracies, inconsistent SpO2 readings, and a lack of support for third-party applications due to its closed Zepp OS environment.
