Amazfit GTR 2 Review

Amazfit GTR 2 Design

Let's first start with the design aspect of this Amazfit GTR 2 review. This is the first GTR smartwatch that has a good quality metal case and leather band. However, the bezel was massive. Changes were made to the design of the watch. And as a result, we have a sleeker watch that resembles the Watch GT smartwatch series of Huawei.

Instead of having two size options, there is only one 47mm model. But there are two case materials to choose from.

While the Sport variant is an aluminum case, the Classic packs a stainless steel case and costs $20 more. Whichever you choose, you will get a smartwatch that is noticeably slimmer and more attractive, compared to the last GTR.

There is a 22mm strap that comes with the case. The strap comes either in leather or silicone. It has a simple pin mechanism, making it easier to change to another band. The silicone strap is comfortable to wear for daily use and even during workouts.

Amazfit GTR 2 is priced at $179.

Amazfit GTR 2 Display

The streamlined design is somewhat broken up by a ceramic bezel in the front. The smartwatch sports a 1.39-inch AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 454 x 454. The display is sharp, vibrant and brings out rich, deep blacks. It also offers strong viewing angles. You won’t have any trouble glancing at the display even in bright outdoor light.

The Amazfit GTR 2 also has an always-on option. This will keep the display on 24/7. But do take note that, the battery life of the watch will be severely impacted. There is an additional smart mode that will recognize if you are sleeping and turn the display off. This mode will also switch the smartwatch off whenever you remove it from your wrist.

There are two physical buttons that will take you to the main menus or to quick access for sports tracking. The smartwatch is water-resistant. You can take it underwater for up to 50 meters. So you can wear the watch in the shower or for a lap in the pool.

Amazfit GTR 2 Features

As a smartwatch, the GTR was pretty basic. You only got music controls and notifications that only worked if you paired the device with Android phones.

With the GTR 2, things have become a little better. The smartwatch can still be paired with iPhones and Android phones. But you only get the fullest experience when you pair the smartwatch with an Android smartphone.

You will receive notifications. However, they aren’t actionable. When they are from the same app, they can bunch up. You also have music controls to be used during workouts.

The smartwatch also has weather forecasts and reminders. You can also change the watch of the faces which can be found via the store.

There are a built-in microphone and speaker. So you can take calls via Bluetooth. You also get a built-in music player. The smartwatch offers 3GB of storage that you can use to store about 300 to 600 songs. You can pair it with Bluetooth headphones to listen to music on the watch.

You can transfer the music to the watch through a companion app called the Zepp where you will upload the audio on your phone. Similar to the Amazfit Band 5, the GTR 2 also has Amazon Alexa support.

Amazfit GTR 2 Fitness

With the GTR 2, you can monitor heart rate, take SpO2 readings, track sleep, and count steps. You can track stress as well.

There is a built-in GPS, an altimeter, and standard motion sensors. You will also get the BioTracker PPG, Huami’s latest biological data sensor for heart rate monitoring and blood oxygen levels measuring.

The smartwatch can track 12 sports modes in total like running, swimming, cycling, climbing, and elliptical.

Amazfit GTR 2 Battery

The Amazfit GTR 2 comes with a 471mAh battery. For typical use, the smartwatch manages to last 14 days. When the battery is drained, it will take about 2.5 hours to charge from 0% to 100%. For typical use means using features like sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, and 30 minutes of music listening.

With GPS and always-on mode turned on, the battery will drop significantly. If you use all the available features, turn the brightness of the screen to maximum, and use always-on mode, the smartwatch won’t last 14 days. But overall, the battery life is great, compared to other smartwatches from Samsung and Apple. We hope that all the information we have covered, from Amazfit GTR 2 price to Amazfit GTR 2 specs, can help you decide whether to splurge your money on this device.
