Very nice watch. Good looks

I've worn it for a few weeks now and I'm pretty happy with it. Tons of functions, maybe even too many, but fully customizable. The workout detection is very good. I'm very happy so far.
This is a gem of a device - better in most ways to the Apple or Samsung alternatives. The watch looks fantastic with its design and screen, the battery lasts an incredibly long time (and charges quickly), the UI is fast and fluid and easy to use, the workout libarary is huge, and the auto-detection works a charm. This would be worth the money at 2x the price honestly. Its fantastic. In addition, the amout of information and control in the Zepp App is pretty remarkable and exceeds what is avalable from Samsung, Fitbit, and even Apple. Downsides? Alexa doesn't say connected, the heart rate sensor can get confused occasionally, and there aren't many Zepp OS apps. Not all data is written to Apple health or Google fit.
The watch is amazing. So many functionalities, a great display and an even greater battery life. BUT at least 3 items are SIN in a such complete watch:
1) there is really no functional way to set an interval training session. The available one is so rude and simple that is practically useless. Worst, there is no way to customize it. You can only determine if there is a heating phase or not(without adding duration , distance or HR zone). It let you only add one type of run, a rest time and how many reps. No space to add different running distances within the interval train.
2) lack of real time support. Garmin offers support almost 24x7 by chat or mail.
3) for those who get training schedules for a sport and strength, I havent seen a way to import the daily scheduled trainning sessions to the watch. And as long as it's very limited, I cannot even set it manually because Amazfit does not allow anything beyond the very simple settings its built in.
For those who practice any amateur sport, as a hobby, but has a consistent practice that needs a little bit more than the settings of past decade watches, i have to admit that garmin still leads the choices. Unfortunatelly there is no support we can talk to(or chat) real time to look for a model that perhaps overcome these issues Im bringing here.
Overall, I really like the watch and would buy it again. Battery life is great. I'm not sure the sleep data is very accurate. I can get up and be walking around and sometimes it's still in sleep mode. The bluetooth setup was a bit confusing though it stays connected to my Pixel phone and I like getting the text and call notifications, as well as having the ability to answer or make a call. Being able to answer a text with a canned response is very helpful. Heart rate monitor seems accurate compared to a BP/pulse arm cuff, as does oxygen data. I've only used the biking and walking programs but the information seems accurate. I used it in a pool without any problems. The display and overall appearance of the watch are really nice. Can't beat it for the price.
Nice watch and great looking but the notifications don't mirror the phone, I've had Amazfit starting with the GTR 2 and never had and issue, I now have the GTR 4 and GTR 4 limited edition and both have these issues. If I delete the notification from the watch it still stays on my phone so I still need to go and delete from the phone, I've had many other watches form other brands and this is the first time I'm having this issue. I hope they have a fix soon, I rarely wear them now and probably won't get another one until I'm convinced it's been corrected. I've contacted support numerous times with log files as requested by an email from support but nothing since.
I have really enjoyed tracking my sleep and exercise. I’m an avid tennis player (4 days a week) and the watch has exceeded my expectations with all of the data available from my workouts.
This is great looking watch that is feature rich with a long battery life. It's sleek looking and can go well with office attire or gym clothes . However, some of the features miss the mark. The GPS is so far off on mine that Strava won't even recognize I've completed segments on routes I've run; the GTR's GPS shows my path off trail. It also constantly sends me notifications that the GPS needs to be connected to the app and updated (the frequency of needed updates is 5x that of Garmin or Coros or more). The HR monitor also becomes wildly inaccurate as soon as a sweat. And lastly, I get a nice little chemical burn from the metal on this watch if I wear it more than 24 hours. Amazfit was nice enough to send a new strap to see if that was the issues, but it wasn't. It's a great looking watch and would likely function well for the the athleisure demographic, but in my opinion it is not a watch for folks who partake in endurance sports or extreme sports.
Great looking watch that is pretty feature rich. It's slim and stylish enough to go with anything from trail running clothes to office atrire. It has lots of activities to choose from and a long battery life. Getting Oxygen saturation at this price point is pretty amazing too. Gripes: The GPS tracks so far off that Strava won't even recognize you've run certain segments in wooded areas. The wrist top HR is wildly inaccurate once you start sweating. The metal on this watch gives me a nice skin burn on my wrist if I wear it for more than 24 hours straight. Amazfit was nice enough to send a new band to see if that worked, but it didn't. To me this is more of lifestyle/athleisure watch. I definitely wish I would have bought the T Rex again after I lost mine surfing.
