  • Notifications are largely read-only with very limited quick-reply options.
  • Sleep tracking can be inconsistent, sometimes failing to detect awake periods accurately.
  • Issues with 'skin detection' for users with tattoos, which can prevent sensors from activating.

Verdict

The Amazfit GTR 4 is a versatile smartwatch featuring a premium aluminum alloy frame and a vibrant 1.43-inch HD AMOLED display with anti-glare technology. It is powered by a 475mAh battery providing up to 14 days of typical usage and utilizes the BioTracker 4.0 PPG sensor for 24/7 health monitoring, including heart rate, SpO2, and stress tracking. Key pros include its industry-first dual-band circularly polarized GPS for superior accuracy, over 150 sports modes with automatic recognition of 8 activities, and built-in Alexa with Bluetooth calling capabilities. However, notable cons include a limited third-party app ecosystem through Zepp OS, the lack of contactless payment support, and reported lag in heart rate tracking during high-intensity workouts.
