Amazfit GTR Mini

I have had this watch for a few months at this point. I have used a ton of different cheaper watches, and the accompanying apps. This one by far is beyond the others. First the watch faces are customizable you can use a large variety of free ones, you can purchase more in the app or you can use the custom watch face builder to create your own. The tracking of everything works well. I don't use any of the paid services, but there is plenty of information available for someone who is mildly interested in tracking sleep quality, steps, exercise, water consumption, activity levels, etc. More importantly for me, it sends me notifications, answers calls, has voice assistant, and tracks all of the above. It stays charged for an entire workweek. I charge it on my day off when I am just relaxing, then I am good to wear it consistently for the next week. I have eyed the pixel watch on and off, but the darn higher end watches don't stay charged long enough. So if you are not looking for a doctor on your wrist that gives perfectly accurate data this is a good choice. It seems pretty accurate for what I use it for, and I don't base medical decisions off the data, other than maybe saying I don't think I am getting enough sleep sometimes. If the pixel watch eventually can match battery life might try that out someday, but until then this is the brand for me. Oh and unlike all the other cheaper ones, this app stays connected and reconnects when it is back in range, I never lose my sleep or steps data because I forgot to link the app at exactly 11:59 at night, or ever. The only time I don't get data is when I am not wearing the watch. ***update April 2025*** This watch is still working fantastically. I work in a commercial kitchen, I am sometimes elbow deep in a sink full of dishes or covered to my elbows in degreaser, oil, sanitizer, or food of some sort. When I am just prepping food I will usually pull my glove up over the watch, but otherwise it is exposed to the abuse of the elements in the kitchen. Most of the watches I have used before seem to fall apart after a few months in the kitchen. I think some of the chemicals we use dissolve the glue that holds the face to the body of the watch. This one still looks brand new. There is a warning somewhere in the instructions to not expose this to prolonged hot water, the thing is I can't stop what I am doing to take my watch off, so I had resigned myself to just purchasing new watches when the old one broke. And if this one eventually falls apart I will replace it with the newest model of the exact same watch. The app for this watch just works. It tries to sell me upgrades every couple weeks but they aren't necessary to keep track of steps or sleep or anything else really. It still connects automatically whenever in range of my phone, and I do not have to think about it at all. I can ignore the app for weeks at a time and still go back and look at the data whenever I want. And when I am feeling like I want something new I just switch out the band. It is so nice to be able to view my messages when I am elbow deep in a giant batch of bread. For me this watch takes the abuse that I never expected it to, I have given up on the more expensive brands... They are never going to compare especially when it comes to battery life. ***august 2025**** Last update because I think the point has been made. This watch is still working exactly as it should. I still wear it for four to six days without charging or removing, I charge it on my first day off work, then the only other time I remove it is when I get in the shower, then I jut put it right back on after I have toweled dry. I have come to expect this watch to always be there. It has become a tool that I use always. I use the weather app, check steps, sometimes check sleep, time and date, and notifications. I still don't even use this to it's full potential. There are so many other little things like the stress monitor, heart health, it has a built into the app nutritional info. It has a training template so you can track reps. There are sooo many widgets and measurements it is easily personalized for the individual. Fantastic smart watch.

Have been putting this through some abuse now, and this is what I have to say: HR is in line with other monitors I’ve tried. Same with o2 sat. Sleep tracker can be glitchy for me being on an overnight schedule; it doesn’t like to recognize my normal sleep sessions and counts them as a nap. I guess that’s something to do with their algorithm and when you go to sleep past a certain time. For me, I’m more concerned with the overall amount of time I was asleep rather than all the other metrics. If it shows I had an 8-hour “nap” because I went to bed too late and I wake up feeling rested, it’s enough to see that sleep duration (I’m really bad about keeping track of when/what time I fall asleep) Was honestly shocked at how accurate the activity and resting calories burned trackers have been; they fall directly in line with how much weight I’ve been losing vs my caloric deficit through this cut. The few workout modes I use (strength training, indoor cycling, outdoor running) all seem to work well enough, and it’s interesting looking at the metrics sheets the watch and app come up with for the workouts. Is it 100% on point? Most likely not. Is it close enough to have an idea of how I’m pushing myself through my workouts? Absolutely It shows texts notifications, but not WhatsApp notifications. It doesn’t get the Do Not Disturb memo from my phone and lets texts through, unless going into the watch’s settings and turning on the watch’s Do Not Disturb. Swipe controls can feel a little sluggish, and water streams from a shower head can manipulate the screen. Slightly annoying, but nothing I can’t ignore/get past. GPS tracking has been accurate for runs through my suburban neighborhood, though haven’t tried it outside of this smallish area yet. As far as battery life and charge speed: both have been absolutely phenomenal (Recent run went from 100% to 39% over 6 days and took maybe 30-40 minutes to come up to 100%). Build quality on it is decent. Not the fanciest, but it definitely doesn’t feel like something cheap. Overall, for the $120 I spent on it, I was actually impressed. Was really just looking to snag a basic watch and fitness tracker combo, but this surpassed the expectations I had. Yeah, there are things that could be better with it, but for the price point, I’m happy with what it can do.

Been wearing for 3 weeks so far. Pros -Beautiful watch. Very soft color, looks even lighter pink than the picture, almost like a soft grey/white in some light, which I love. -Battery life - hands down, fantastic. I’ve been getting 10 days use out of each charge, and couldn’t be happier. My two year old Fitbit had to be charged every 36 hours. -Screen is amazing - bright, sensitive to the touch, works very well. You can choose what background you like, even upload your favorite picture from your phone and make that your background, plus customize display appearance - top notch. Display brightness is adjustable so that it doesn’t glare at night or drain down battery as quickly if you prefer dimmer screen. -Many apps, I have little need for most of them. -Sleep tracker is a lot of fun - the app that links with the watch has great data and tips to get more quality rest. -Two of my favorite unexpected features are the easy-to-use timer which I find so helpful with my chores and with cooking and the night light. -Armband material is fantastic - soft, supple, comfortable to the touch, yet seems durable. Love how the loose end tucks into the band. Great design. Cons -Step accuracy. I did a side-by-side comparison with my Fitbit luxe (wore both the Amazfit and the Fitbit on the same arm for several hours) and the Amazfit only counts 67% of the steps that the Fitbit counts. I confirmed which tracker was the accurate one by watching the devices count as I took steps back and forth and indeed, the Fitbit counts steps that the Amazfit misses. Amazfit customer service was very responsive about the issue, made sure that I felt my concerns were heard, BUT made no promise to fix the problem in the immediate future. They instructed me to always make sure my arm swings when I walk to ensure all my steps are counted (this is impossible for me.) They also promised to take my comments into consideration. My comment to them was to design the watch to detect footfall, not just arm swing. -Fit - Amazfit instructs users to wear the watch snugly. I have always preferred to wear my watch more loosely, so I have struggled to get used to this, and find I’m constantly fidgeting with and adjusting the band for comfort.

This watch is fabulous! I am impressed! The GTR Mini has a sleek and stylish design, making it suitable for workouts and daily wear. It features a vibrant display that’s easily read in various lighting conditions. It has multiple exercise activities to track, like running, walking, yoga, and swimming. There are valuable insights like Equipped with multiple sports modes, it accurately tracks activities like running, cycling, and swimming. The heart rate monitor and SpO2 sensor provide valuable health insights. Impressive battery life allows for up to two weeks of usage on a single charge, depending on your settings and usage. It also offers notifications for calls and messages. You cannot take calls from the device, but that is not a deal-breaker for me. The Amazfit GTR Mini is a great choice for anyone looking for a stylish smartwatch with solid fitness tracking and long battery life at an affordable price.

I love this little watch!! I cannot say enough good things about it. It blows my Apple watch out of the water on every level. Looks, price point, app features and reliability and durability. This watch is packed with features that are helping me stay accountable and reach my goals and then some. It's small but perfect size for my wrist. It does not bump my wrist when I flex my hand back like my Apple watch did. It doesn't accidentally push the button. It's super lightweight so you really don't notice that you're sleeping in it. Everything my Apple watch could do, this one does, but better with a few more added features. Step counter is on point. Sleeping recognition is on point. I can wear this easily 10 days on a single charge. Can't do that with an Apple watch! Easy to pair up with your phone (iOs or android both yes). The only thing my Apple watch could do that this one can't is answer a phone call. Not a deal breaker in my book. But I do get alerts if I have an incoming call and can decline it if I wish. There are plenty of free watch faces to choose from, or you can purchase some for pennies. I can seriously brag and brag on this little guy all day. And the strap that comes with it is super comfy and can fit a very tiny wrist up to a larger one. Display is top shelf. Bright and robust. You can read the screen indoors or outdoors very easily. You can adjust the brightness to your liking. Charges fully from zero in about an hour. Haptics work as well as you would expect one to. It's a super nice piece to look at. Now I just need to shop for some bands to interchange with. I can't complain about this watch....its perfect in every way!! If you're concerned about getting one....don't be. Get it! You won't regret it.

This watch has been very reliable and a great alternative to more expensive watches. It has all the options I was looking for: step counter, heart rate, alarm, weather, sync with phone. The only downfall is the watch band needed to be replaced after 6 months as it began to have an off smell. Overall, great quality and value.

Pros: 1. Sleep tracking is nice and more than I expected. It provides daily trends on sleep habits, including the time frames of REM, Deep Sleep and Light Sleep (all shown in separate parts in the same graph). Love this, and didn't expect I would use it, but I do. It reminds me to go to bed based on a goal. Provides sleep grades compared to others and this goal. And it has been successful in helping me track my overall sleep health, and to develop better sleep habits. This was an unexpected perk for me. 2. Setup of the watch and the Zepp app was so much more painless than the initial watch I purchased and its app. It synced up quickly and correctly. The app started reporting, and transferring over to the Apple Health app right away once I got it all set up. It did take some figuring out how to get the Apple Health synced up, but that was a complexity issue more on the Apple side. 3. The battery life is really good. I typically only have to charge every 3-4 days. Am very happy with the battery life considering how much I use the watch. 4. The watch provides a wide array of health stats including the already described Sleep, Stress, Heart Rate, Blood Oxygen, Steps, Activities, Exercise, Calories, distance, and provides a PAI score each day that took a little to understand, but I now find very useful to just "summarize" if I'm staying active and healthy each day. I especially love the blood oxygen reading which I track every hour because I suffer from asthma that is allergy and autoimmune-related. I can now track when I might need to pay closer attention and "take a puff" before it gets really bad. I don't know how accurate this all is, but the readings make enough sense to be useful in tracking my overall systematic health, and I find that very useful overall. 5. I know I have only "unlocked" and used half of this watch and Zepp watch's abilities. There is also geolocation capacities, which I look forward to using on a hike or outdoor activities. 6. I also like the tap button on the side, and the many possibly configurations you can set up to customize how you interact with the watch. It's easy to push because it sticks out, unlike some other smartwatches that you have to push just right. I use my tap button for 1) short tap to access all the apps (and you can buy or download free apps - this is also nice), 2) long tap to wake my watch. I just love the flexibility in setting up the watch to fit your own needs and preferences. 7. My texts and messages from iMessage on my iPhone and WhatsApp come through with no issues. I like getting those notifications on my watch and then going to my phone to read the message. The text is previewed on the watch, but any attachments, I have to go to my phone. 8. I get reminders from my calendars (Google, Apple, Work) on the watch. I like that a lot. 9. The weather app is standard in look and data. Nice to have. 10. You can scroll down on each app and screen, and the watch drills down to a lot detailed information. Love this. The amount of details is great (even for the weather). 11. Also have alarming options. I can set alarms on my watch for daily activities. 12. I love the round watch face as opposed to the square or rectangular face. It's aesthetically a beautiful watch. Cons: 1. Pricier than other smartwatches, but cheaper than Apple and other high end watches. For the price, I think it has a lot. So not sure this is a con. It's more than I wanted to spend. :) 2. There is so much it took a few days to set it all up the way I finally wanted it, and some were not intuitive. I even have MORE to set up, just haven't. 3. I may have missed it, but they have a stopwatch. Would be nice to have a Timer. 4. The watch will notify you of incoming calls and missed calls, but does not allow you to make calls, nor is there voicemail on the watch. I don't miss this actually because I usually have my phone with me too. I get the notification on the phone, and I then know to call someone back or listened to voicemail of a missed call. Overall, I am very pleased with this watch. It does what is advertised. Other than a bit lengthy and complex set up, it's primarily an activities, health tracking with some daily management watch. And I am finding that's really all I need it for. My goal of developing healthier habits is helped significantly along with this watch.

I've had the watch for about 8 months now, and I've worn it off and on. I've found the GPS accuracy on workouts to be extremely good. I honestly don't know why they keep updating this, because it's been flawless since day 1. I once wore it along with an Apple Watch series 3, and it blew the AW away in accuracy. It will also write data to the Apple Health app, which is nice. Watch faces were lacking at first, but now there are quite a few very nice free ones that you can get. The watch faces are cool, and the always-on display works great. The ONLY thing the watch can't do well is detect sleep. They claim it detects "sleep" from 6pm through 6am, and anything outside of this range is considered a "nap." I don't have a problem with that, if it actually worked. I go to sleep at roughly 11pm and wake up at 7am. I'm pretty consistent, and I have no trouble sleeping. I wear the watch tight enough. It does not detect sleep accurately. Nearly every single night, the watch records that I went to sleep for the first time when I go BACK to sleep after waking up in the night. It says I slept from 4am to 7am, which is just wrong. I slept like a rock from 11pm to 4am, and it's like the watch just glitches during that time period. I've factory reset it a few times, so it's not that. It absolutely refuses to record that sleep has started at any time from 9pm to 2am Eastern Standard Time. Occasionally, I'll take a nap from 10am to 11am or so -- when I do that, the watch typically detects the start and end of the nap with no problem. Another interesting thing to note is that when I traveled to Europe, the watch magically started recording my sleep properly. When I came home, the problem returned. It seems like a bug in the code around time zones or something. It seems like a massive problem, so I have no idea why it hasn't been found and corrected yet. Also.. I would not even care if this watch had NO sleep tracking at all. Sleep tracking is useless in my opinion -- but you cannot turn it off! And then the stupid thing sits there and lectures me about the importance of a good night's sleep.

I got this AMAZEFIT GTR mini Watch during sale, discount was great!

Este reloj es muy bonito y sin duda compite con los mejores del mercado. Es una muy buena oportunidad para adentrarte a los relojes inteligentes, pues su uso y comprensión son sencillos y en una gran medida se ajusta a las actividades que realizas. Sus acabados son agradables y su funcionamiento bastante adecuado.

Desde el primer momento, lo amé, la batería me duró la primera vez casi 15 días en uso normal de reloj, conectado al cel y usándolo cuando hago ejercicio, me gustan los relojes grandes y este me encantó, el color es bellísimo, pues aunque es como rosa muy clarito, a veces se ve como gris o casi blanco, justo lo que buscaba, un buen reloj, grande, de buena marca, con mucha opciones de caratulas y sobre todo que la pila le durara varios días, al principio le batalle para que se conectara al celular, pero agarrándole el modo, es bien rápido, lo recomiendo al 100%

I had not heard of Amazfit brand before, until my son bought one for his gf. You can gauge quality immediately from the website, which is nicely put together and nice graphics. These watches are hard to find to try in shops, so I wanted to try one. Immediately out the box you can see this is high quality, with nice touches like the engraved button control and high polish finish, plus high quality graphics. The setup out the box is uber-easy and it was up and running quickly. The Zepp app has lots of functionality and connects well to see any trails and maps in lots of detail. The watch is very light and low in profile, so you hardly know you are wearing it. The strap tucks in the strap and so doesn't catch on clothing and easy to wear overnight for sleep tracking. The heart rate and blood O2 are impressive and if not absolute at least give trends and alerts. I used the watch for some mountain biking and hikes and it tracks nicely and accurate. I was concerned about privacy as one reviewer couldn't find it on the Amazfit website, but its there and similar to Apple, Garmin etc. This smartwatch puts it ahead of the competition costing 2 or 3 x the price. I have had Samsung Watch5 (only works on Android), Garmin but I'm certainly impressed with this GTR Mini and its price, functions and battery life.

I’ve been using this watch for about 10 days now. I fully charged it when it arrived, and the battery lasted around one week with regular use. The watch looks nice and feels good to wear. It doesn’t have an overwhelming number of features, but it includes the essentials like blood oxygen monitoring, stress tracking, heart rate monitoring, and many different sports modes to choose from. Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase.
