How are the always on screen? Is it only like 2 styles as it was on the older watches? Taxing on the battery? How are sms and notifications support? Thanks for an awesome review!
Like the older watches and it kills the battery very quick in a day or 1 and 1/2. SMS and notifications come through you just have to set it up in the app.
Bysler - I have the Mini. The notification feature is NOT reliable. Sometimes, it gets every notification and even before they show on my iPhone screen. But most of the time, it doesn’t get any notifications at all. It’s not a big deal to me - I don’t rely on the watch for these anyway. But it’s irritating that this brand new watch isn’t working as advertised. Also, the weather feature often reports it can’t get updates.
I have good results (as far as I can tell) during the night with my GTR 2e, but I took a nap the other day, nearly 1-2 hours of real sleep, and it was not logged. A bit disppointed, as it seems quite accurated for the rest.
Weird, now I'm looking at the previous week, and everything is recorded... I'm 100% certain the nap was NOT there later the same day after synchronization !
Hey Chris good review! Out of topic but could you look into testing the 888 when you receive the mi 11? Alot of people reporting high battery consumption and heat.
Sure I will run my normal battery life test and thermal imagining camera test to check the thermals after 1 hour of demanding gaming like Genshin Impact.
Hey, great review! Is is possible to Turn off bluetooth or enable an airplane Mode on gts 2e or gtr 2e. I think on the normal Gts 2 it is possible. Greetings from Germany
This review covered everything I wanted to know. Nice job man! I would like to be clear on one of the cons you mentioned for the GTR 2e; that it doesn't run android Wear OS. What exactly is the implication of that?
@TechTablets First of all thumbs up for the video! Would you recommend me to buy Honor Magicwatch 2. GTR 2 or the "new" GTR 2e? Or maybe there is another watch I do not know about?
accuracy lol i can't find any use for it at all. amazfit recommends for the watch to stay 30 minutes on/in whatever air/surface you want to measure. it'll tell you air or skin surface temperature but not body temperature. i wanted to get 2e for body temp but since it's not capable like oral or IR thermometers, i'll go with mini instead. can walk into any dr office to get my temperature for free lol
Hi! Need some advice... since you have reviewed both the HONOR GS PRO and the AMAZFIT GTR2, which one would you recommend? The price where I live is identical, 170euros for the gtr2 classic, and black GS pro. I love the looks of the classic, but overall, probably the gd pro is the better one. I love the voice commands on the gtr2...
Hey Chris, thanks for the quality review (as usual)! Can you tell us if there is a dedicated weight trainng or crossfit type of sport mode (I cannot seem to find a list of the supported 90 modes....). Is it also correct that there is a breathing quality assessment during sleep that is in beta? (Asking as a light sleep apnea 'patient'). Thanks in advance for the info!
@@pxsaber2177 oh really? then what watch u use now? I just ordered gts 2 mini yesterday, watched WesKnows channel and it seems that gts 2 mini had better reading than gts 2e I choose gts 2 mini bcoz my wrist relatively small and i using bip before, also for cheaper price tag.
Hey Chris how do you go on about buying phones directly from China? I have my eyes on the Mi 11. I know you've bought the mi 10 ultra from trading Shenzhen but I've heard they're not so legit and that people had problems with customs insurance or the like. What's your experience with buying from China? I really don't wanna have to buy the global Mi 11
In Europe they are being much more strict now with stuff that comes from China, so the possibility of you having to pay VAT is pretty high. It really sucks. Talking with someone working on borders they told me if there are 100k items that arrive from China, they have to check at least 40k, so if you are lucky and are among the remaining 60k you won't have to pay VAT.
@@nicetrayyy yeah I'm aware, but I don't live in Europe, my actual phone I had ordered from Germany and I had to pay around 70 euros to import it to my country, I'm not worried about paying a little more 😁
@@Dan01-01 it won't be just for gaming, normal day to day usage will be worse in terms of heat and and battery life. Just get a discounted 865 device it will be better.
Interesting, I don't see any measure of body temperature in the app demonstration. Does the temperature measurement get used to calculate stress levels or is it just an on watch feature so you can figure out temperature at the time? If that's the case, I'm thinking the standard GTR 2 with the onboard speaker is more useful
Has the GTS2e a black or a DARK Grey bezel/case? Can't really tell from the vid. I am stuck between the black and Green one, as I want a DARK Grey watch which I will update with a Grey wrist band.
Does the GTS2 mini has the same Always on display watch face like the GTS 2e? If so I'll go with mini itself that's the reason. Especially the basic watch face on GTS2 and 2e. Please tell me!
the processor of gts 2 seems the same of gts 2e? same touch response? thank you (the gts 2 mini i know its not so smooth and good as the big brother right)
From what I experience Series 2 and Series 2e have same processing (Gtr and Gts) , both of them smooth and great touch response.. But if u compare Gts 2 series with Gtr 2 series, Gtr 2 series had more stuttering than Gts 2 series when u slide in homescreen.. I don't know why.. But I think its because they have different screen resolution, Gtr series have bigger resolution
Is there any smartwatch where the sport activity start/ stop is done by the physical button and not by the touchscreen? This is soooo important for runners I think and always overlooked in the reviews in general. Could you comment if the GTS2E button does that?
No just the GTR 2e and GTS 2e. I didn't have time for the GTS 2 Mini GPS testing but my wife is using it now (gave it to her) and it seems fine from her walks.
Hi, can you see the notifications also while recording an activity? Like while hiking and recording the exercise, I still want to check notifications without getting the phone or stopping the recording
@@Techtablets I'm sorry I didn't explain correctly, what I mean to say is while you're registering an activity (like hiking) is it still possible to check the notifications you receive? (With the phone connected) I ask because I have an old Amazfit Pace and you can't check notifications while an exercise is running
you can export gpx file from zepp to whatever gpx editor/reader you prefer. in mini gps is sometimes as accurate as in my s10 phone but if i stand in one place too long or indoors i get a bunch of zigzag lines. also sometimes when starting and finishing indoors the start and end point are very far apart, like 20-40 feet. if you buy amazfit test it without the phone/zepp app connected to the watch. let it sync with zepp without tracking in phone. use a different phone with accurate gps and without zepp app installed to compare watch gps accuracy. i haven't tried hiking with it. only street.
Sir I hope you notice this I want to inform you that there is Vivo X60 Pro can you give full review on it? Seems to be good. It has Exynos 1080 better chipset than Samsung note s20 utra. There is Huawei Nova 8 Pro too
Is it possible to use the GPS of my Phone, instead of the built in the GTR 2e? I prefere it because the AGPS of the phone gets the satellites Almanac from the nearby cell tower and the start up process in much faster.
I would NEVER use a "fitness" tracker whose data cannot be controlled = offline. Normally you can expect the connected app to send some "technical data" or whatever they call it, to be sent home, aka China. Selling user health data and tracking profiles for marketing is nothing to be NOT warried about.
@@andrew7455 I dont use ANY "smart" watch at all. and btw I don´t get either.

@@cl4s2013 make sure to get a smart anal probe then. Skin temperature is enough for me and I find it useful, as you can compare with previous values to see if there is an increase
Cool watches but without internal storage they're not useful for me as exercise devices. Who wants to go for an hour long run with a phone strapped to them or in their hand? I've done it but it bugs me the whole run.
1) Lots of people go to gyms where having a phone next to you is not an issue, and 2) You carry a phone in case you get urgent messages from family or work, or you need a phone in case of an emergency.

You gave the best comparison and overview of this series I have seen. Thanks!
a proper review and comparison. hard to find a proper one, so many weak info-lacking reviews on yt. your's are very very good.
Thanks for watching 👍
Great review as usual Chris, I use the first generation AmazFit GTS and love it.
Man you do such good reviews, great channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
These series of watches are impressive👍👍.. Great battery life!
Very nice Chris. 🙂✌
Yes they are!
All in one reviews... cool ! one of the best tech review channel 🙂
I recently bought the Mini for my mother and it seems to significantly underestimate the amount of steps taken!
i have the first gen, it's awesome
But second gen is feature packed

Not bad for ambient temps for skin (wrist) temps not really sure if 31 degrees is right as my thermal camera would show a few more degrees.

Question
TechTablets. why the screen on the GTR 2e looks biger that the one in the GTS 2e if the GTS 2e has a biger screen?

Set it in the app and your phone then sync it and it will sync the time
Is it possible to use the GPS of my Phone, instead of the built in the GTR 2e?

I ve done the whole Amazfit watch thing, but definetly going back to Garmin. Amazfit just less reliable and less features.
