What owners say about the Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition

Based on 60 owners sharing their experience in online comments

38%positive4%mixed58%negative

Owners value the sports tracking and battery life, but unreliable calls and inaccurate health readings hold the watch back.

What owners dislike

  • Owners with Samsung or iPhone say calls do not connect or cannot be answered from the watch. Bluetooth calling often stops after pairing or after leaving the phone's range.11
  • Resting heart rate reads high and fitness data is unreliable. Steps are inconsistent, sleep is not tracked well, and PAI scores do not match workout effort.5
  • Caller names do not show in incoming-call notifications even when saved on the phone. Some iPhone owners get no app, text or WhatsApp notifications at all.4
  • Alexa is missing on the Limited Edition in the Zepp app. Owners say it is not available yet and must wait for a future update.4
  • Owners say the case feels like cheap plastic and the glass scratches easily. The included strap feels cheap, so a screen and case protector is advised.4
  • Battery life drops a lot after about a year. Owners who once got 10 to 14 days now get only 2 to 6 days, with no settings changed.3

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition

  • Premium materials including 316L stainless steel frame and a ceramic back for a more luxurious feel
  • First Amazfit smartwatch to support wireless charging in addition to standard magnetic charging
  • Exceptional battery life lasting up to 14 days with typical use, outperforming many mainstream competitors
  • High-quality 1.43-inch AMOLED display that remains bright and readable even in direct sunlight
  • Added health sensors including body temperature monitoring that were not present on the standard GTR 4
  • Accurate dual-band GPS performance using a circularly polarized antenna for reliable tracking

What customers don't like about Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition

  • Software limitations compared to Wear OS or watchOS, with a lack of high-profile third-party apps
  • Absence of a NFC mobile payment system, which is a common feature in other premium smartwatches
  • Notification management is limited, generally offering read-only alerts without robust interaction options
  • Higher price point than the standard GTR 4 without significant functional upgrades beyond aesthetics and wireless charging
  • Occasional lag in heart rate sensor response during high-intensity intervals compared to chest straps

Verdict

The Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition is a premium smartwatch featuring a 1.43-inch AMOLED display with anti-glare technology, a durable stainless steel frame, and a glass-ceramic back. It is equipped with a 475mAh battery that offers up to 14 days of typical usage and stands out as the first in the series to support wireless charging. Key technical highlights include the BioTracker 4.0 PPG biometric sensor for 24-hour health monitoring (heart rate, SpO2, stress, and skin temperature), dual-band circularly-polarized GPS with route import, and over 150 sports modes with automatic recognition for select exercises. Its main pros are the elegant, high-end build materials, exceptional battery longevity, and accurate dual-band navigation. Main cons include a lack of NFC for contactless payments, limited third-party app ecosystem through Zepp OS, and a noticeably heavier weight (49g) compared to the standard model.
