Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazfit GTS 2 Mini 2022

  • High-quality, bright 1.55-inch AMOLED display visible even in direct sunlight.
  • Extremely lightweight and slim design (19.5g) that remains comfortable for 24/7 wear.
  • Comprehensive health tracking features including SpO2, heart rate, and sleep monitoring.
  • Built-in GPS and GLONASS for accurate outdoor activity tracking without a phone.
  • Excellent value for money, undercutting many established competitors.
  • Useful additional tools like the Pomodoro timer and Alexa integration.

What we don't like about Amazfit GTS 2 Mini 2022

  • Real-world battery life typically lasts 5-7 days, falling short of the 14-day claim with heavy use.
  • Basic notification support that is non-interactive (no ability to reply).
  • Lacks automatic workout detection, requiring manual starts for activity tracking.
  • Occasional UI lag or stuttering during scrolling and animations.
  • Heart rate monitoring accuracy can falter during high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
  • Limited third-party app ecosystem and no support for mobile payments.

Verdict

The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini (2022 New Version) is a compact, ultra-lightweight smartwatch featuring a 1.55-inch Always-on AMOLED display with 450-nit brightness and an aluminum alloy body weighing just 19.5g. Key characteristics include built-in GPS/GLONASS, 5 ATM water resistance, and over 68 sports modes, alongside health monitoring for heart rate (BioTracker 2 PPG), SpO2, stress, and sleep stages. Its primary pros are the slim 8.95mm profile, high-quality vibrant screen, and a 220mAh battery offering up to 14 days of typical use. However, notable cons include a lack of internal music storage, no built-in speaker for Bluetooth calls, and basic notification support that does not allow for interactive replies.
