Huami, with the GTS 2, has upgraded the design of its smartwatch. The downside is its higher price and a loss of its battery stamina. The smartwatch is one to consider if you are looking for an attractive square smartwatch doubling as a decent fitness tracker. But if you prefer a more rounded smartwatch with sports tracking, you might want to look at Apple or Garmin. Here is everything you need to know about the device, from Amazfit GTS 2 price, to release date and specs.
Amazfit GTS 2 Review
Amazfit GTS 2 Release Date
Huami will launch the Amazfit GTS 2 in India on December 21. Similar to the GTR 2, the device will be priced at Rs 12,999. Consumers can purchase the smartwatch on Amazfit India’s official website and amazon.com.
Amazfit GTS 2 Design & Display
The first GTS from Huami was an attractive-looking square smartwatch with an affordable price. While with the GTS 2, the materials are largely the same, the design has changed. The GTS 2, as a result, looks much sleeker.
You still have an aluminum alloy case and a plastic back. The size is dropped slightly from the GTS’ 43mm case to 42mm. The smartwatch is 9.7mm thick. It has a slight bit of timber with curved edges around the only physical button. When you wear it on your wrist, it feels similar to the first GTS.
For the case, you have three colors to choose from, grey, black, and gold, compared to its predecessor’s pastel shades. The case comes with a 20mm silicone strap. You can remove it to switch to another band from Huami or from a third party company. You can take the GTS 2 with you 50 meters underwater.
The display of the smartwatch really stands out. The GTS 2 has a 1.65-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 348 x 442 with 341 PPI. The screen and the casing feel unified, creating a nice unibody look. The display of the GTS 2 delivers great colors, good visibility both indoors and in bright outdoor light. You also have an always-on mode but this will affect the device’s battery life.
Of course, the GTS 2 is no Apple Watch. However, it is attractive in its own right.
Amazfit GTS 2 Fitness
The GTS 2 comes with a gyroscope motion and accelerometer sensor for indoor activity and automatic sleep tracking and step counting. You will have a built-in GPS for outdoor activities like running, open water swimming, and cycling.
Huami’s newest BioTracker 2 PPG optical sensor is also included, for continuous heart rate monitoring. The sensor powers stress tracking as well as the PAI Health Assessment system. The device can also measure blood oxygen for a more in-depth look into your current state.
The GTS 2 can track 12 sports. All can be accessed via the Workout screen. With activities like outdoor running, the device will show you pace, average pace, distance, and heart rate. You can access music controls too. Compared to Garmin smartwatches, GPS-based distance tracking of the GTS 2 is underreported. Heart rate monitoring isn’t accurate either.
Amazfit GTS 2 Features
In terms of smartwatch features, the device has the same features found on the GTR 2. You will have notifications, receiving calls via Bluetooth, event reminders, music controls, and weather forecasts. You can always add dedicated screens or widgets to access them more easily.
You can also customize the watch faces. The main new features are the music player, a new offline voice assistant, and Amazon Alexa support.
The music player offers 3GB of storage for around 500 to 600 audio files. Music can be transferred to the device via the Zepp companion app.
With Amazon Alexa, you can use the microphone to do things that you want the smart assistant to do.
The offline voice assistant allows hands-free control of the device’s core features like using workout mode or opening music controls. You can also use it for Alexa, setting up alarms, etc.
Amazfit GTS 2 Battery
The GTS 2 comes with a 246mAh battery compared to the original GTS’ 220mAh one. According to the company, the device will last you seven days for typical usage. With basic usage, you can use it for 20 days. For GPS battery life, you will have 25 hours. It takes the device two hours to charge from 0 to 100%.
Amazfit GTS 2 vs Amazfit GTR 2 in terms of battery? The battery numbers of the GTS 2 are lower than that of the GTR 2. When you use all the features minus music or GPS, the battery will drop around 20% daily. And with always-on mode switched on, that drop is even greater.
That is all the information that we have got regarding the Amazfit GTS 2 price, release date, and specs. We hope that it can help you decide whether to spend your money on the device or not.
