Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazfit GTR Mini

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting 10–14 days on a single charge
  • Slim, lightweight, and comfortable design that is suitable for 24/7 wear
  • Vibrant and sharp 1.28-inch AMOLED display with high pixel density
  • Broad suite of health tracking including 24/7 heart rate, SpO2, and detailed sleep monitoring
  • Reliable built-in GPS supporting five satellite positioning systems
  • Affordable price point offering high value compared to major competitors

What we don't like about Amazfit GTR Mini

  • No built-in microphone or speaker, preventing on-watch phone calls and voice feedback
  • Limited third-party app support due to the proprietary Zepp OS
  • Communication is restricted to viewing notifications and using preset text replies (Android only)
  • Absence of NFC for contactless mobile payments
  • Large bezels around the display that can reduce usable screen space
  • Occasional accuracy issues with heart rate monitoring during high-intensity gym workouts

Verdict

The Amazfit GTR Mini is a slim and lightweight smartwatch featuring a 1.28-inch HD AMOLED display with 326 PPI and a 42.8mm stainless steel frame. Key characteristics include 5 ATM water resistance, a patented circularly-polarized GPS antenna supporting five satellite systems, and the Zepp OS 2.0 with over 120 sports modes and 24/7 monitoring for heart rate, SpO2, and stress. Main pros are its impressive 14-day battery life (up to 20 days in saver mode), ultra-thin 9.25mm profile, and high-quality build at an affordable price. However, it lacks a microphone and speaker for Bluetooth calling, does not support third-party apps or on-device music storage, and features a relatively large bezel around the screen.
