Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazfit GTR 2E

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting 1-2 weeks or more on a single charge
  • Vibrant and bright 1.39-inch AMOLED display that remains readable in sunlight
  • Sleek, lightweight, and attractive design that resembles a classic watch
  • Excellent value for money compared to high-end competitors
  • Wide variety of sports modes (90+) and reliable core fitness tracking features
  • Accurate sleep tracking and heart rate monitoring for most users

What we don't like about Amazfit GTR 2E

  • No built-in speaker, preventing users from taking phone calls directly on the watch
  • Software limitations in the Zepp app, including occasional syncing issues with third-party apps like Google Fit
  • The temperature sensor is frequently described as inaccurate or unhelpful
  • Silicone strap can feel cheap and is not breathable during intense workouts
  • GPS can sometimes be slow to lock or slightly inconsistent in accuracy compared to specialized sports watches
  • Notifications are non-actionable and lack support for emojis or images

Verdict

The Amazfit GTR 2e is a budget-oriented smartwatch featuring a 1.39-inch AMOLED display (454x454 resolution, 326 ppi) housed in a lightweight 32g aluminium alloy body. It is equipped with the BioTracker 2 PPG sensor for 24-hour heart rate monitoring, SpO2 blood-oxygen saturation measurement, and a unique temperature sensor, while also supporting 90+ sports modes, built-in GPS, and 5 ATM water resistance. Its primary advantages include an exceptional battery life of up to 24 days in typical use (extending to 45 days in basic mode), a vibrant and sharp screen, and a comfortable, slim design. However, it lacks a built-in speaker and local music storage, which prevents taking Bluetooth calls directly, and users have noted that its GPS accuracy and temperature readings can sometimes be inconsistent.
