Until the whole world can decide which smart watch is better – Apple, Samsung, or Huawei, Huami (a Xiaomi subsidiary) has released another generation of gadgets to the market. The Amazfit GTR 2 sports watch with a round screen has replaced the rectangular models produced earlier. It’s clear that the manufacturer involved top designers in the development. As the gadget has a chance to climb the Olympus of fame.

Amazfit GTR 2 Sports Watch: Display
You can talk for hours about comfort and design. But just a quick glance at the display is enough to immediately understand whether the gadget is worth its money or not. The Amazfit GTR 2 sports watches are available in two variations: with a 42mm and 47mm round screen. You can choose the case material – steel (Classic model) or aluminum (Sport).
The Amazfit GTR 2 watches are equipped with an energy-efficient AMOLED display. Besides good brightness, the screen has excellent contrast. Text is clearly visible from any angle. The display is touch-sensitive with an oleophobic coating. The surface of the glass has engraved minute marks, done in white. This does not significantly affect the design, but it will definitely slow down battery drain.
The Amazfit GTR 2 sports watches feature a “normal watch” function. This means the date and time are constantly displayed. Brightness is adjustable, as is the displayed information. The most interesting feature is that the backlight automatically turns off during sleep. So, there’s no need to constantly turn the mode on and off.
Strap for Amazfit GTR 2 Sports Watch
The manufacturer did not make any changes to the style and functionality of the straps for the sports watches. As with previous models, there are options made of leather and silicone. Color variations are possible. The strap width remains unchanged – 22 millimeters.
Compared to the Korean brand Samsung, it can be noted that the strap of the Amazfit GTR 2 watch is very comfortable. Flexible, soft, elastic. A wide range of adjustments. No need to pick an accessory to fit the wrist thickness. And all this at an affordable price segment.
Amazfit GTR 2 Sports Watch: Review
After seeing the appearance and screen quality, you want to see the gadget in action. Feel the functionality and ease of control. And, of course, for the soul, you need something new, in demand, and exciting.
The touch control is complemented by two physical buttons. The top button launches the app menu. The bottom button opens the workout menu. There are quick access curtains – swipe down to open the quick access menu, just like on a smartphone. The options are limited – brightness, sound, touch. Swipe up from the bottom to bring up the keyboard. Swipes left and right switch between sections and apps.
Activity, heart rate, weather, music player – a standard set of functions for smart watches. The Amazfit GTR 2 can be connected to iOS and Android devices. Custom skins are available to change the interface. A huge selection, quick setup – done with taste.
Functionality of the Amazfit GTR 2 Sports Watch
Finally – you can make and receive calls directly from the watch. No headset needed. Built-in microphone and speaker transmit and receive voice messages perfectly. Inside, the sound is ideal, and outdoors, it’s better to bring the watch closer to the face. Text messages can only be read, not replied to. Well, that’s fine – the round screen doesn’t lend itself well to typing.
The Amazfit GTR 2 smart watch can be used as a remote control for music on a smartphone. Additionally, built-in 3 GB of Flash memory allows the watch to function as an autonomous player. However, you will need to get Bluetooth headphones. The device has a Wi-Fi module but no NFC. This seems very strange. It would be better if it were the other way around – with NFC and no Wi-Fi.
Sports programs in the Amazfit GTR 2
The sports watch has 12 ready activity modes. This is designed so that the user does not waste time on settings. It also has a built-in GPS module. In addition to basic functions for smart watches, the device can monitor stress and determine blood oxygen levels. Measurements can be taken automatically or manually.
The manufacturer claims the device’s autonomy up to 36 days. This applies to power-saving mode, where all wireless modules and sensors are turned off. That is, the Amazfit GTR 2 sports watch is in regular watch mode, with automatically turned off backlight. It’s unlikely anyone will use such functionality. On average, if you make calls on the watch, it will last about 1 day. With GPS enabled, the watch will last 1-2 days. In “Sport” mode (sensors active, modules off), the device will work for 12-14 days.
The Amazfit GTR 2 sports watch charges in two and a half hours. The charging connector has a magnetic contact. The attachment is very convenient and durable. The price of the Amazfit GTR 2 ranges from 200 to 270 US dollars. Most likely, by the New Year holidays, the price will drop by 10-20%. You can buy the Amazfit GTR 2 for $230 here.
