Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazfit GTS 4 Mini

  • Excellent battery life, typically lasting 1-2 weeks between charges
  • Bright and clear 1.65-inch AMOLED display with an always-on option
  • Lightweight and compact design, making it comfortable for small wrists
  • Wide range of fitness features with 120+ sports modes and built-in GPS
  • Affordable price point offering high value for basic tracking needs
  • Built-in Alexa support for voice commands and basic tasks
  • 5 ATM water resistance, suitable for swimming and daily water exposure

What we don't like about Amazfit GTS 4 Mini

  • Inability to reply to messages or answer phone calls directly from the watch
  • Health tracking metrics (heart rate and sleep) can be inconsistent or lack precision
  • Limited third-party app support and no NFC for contactless payments
  • GPS can sometimes be slow to acquire a signal outdoors
  • The included charging cable is noted as being too short and uses a proprietary connection
  • Limited selection of free watch faces; many high-quality ones require payment
  • The side button functions only as a pressable button, not a rotating crown for navigation

Verdict

The Amazfit GTS 4 Mini is a compact, ultra-slim smartwatch featuring a 1.65-inch HD AMOLED display with 309 PPI and always-on support. It is equipped with the BioTracker 3.0 PPG sensor for 24-hour heart rate, SpO2, and stress monitoring, alongside 5-satellite GPS positioning and 5 ATM water resistance. Key advantages include its lightweight 19g aluminum alloy design, over 120 sports modes with smart recognition for seven movements, and an impressive battery life of up to 15 days under typical usage. However, it lacks a built-in speaker for Bluetooth calling, does not support NFC for contactless payments, and has limited third-party app integration compared to more expensive models.
