Smart Features On The Amazfit GTR 2Īs expected, the smart features of the Amazfit GTR 2 are largely the same as on the Zepp E – that is to say, pretty limited. It’s there for contactless payments, but only if you use AliPay – a system that isn’t widely used outside of China. What’s less acceptable is the watch’s implementation of NFC. While it’s disappointing that Amazfit’s legendary battery life is gradually slipping (the Amazfit Bip promised over a month with GPS), most people would still say two weeks is more than enough for a smartwatch – and it certainly eclipses the day-long life of the Apple Watch or any watch running Google’s Wear OS. No reason is given for this, but it likely comes down to the extra grunt of the processor and power-hungry operating system. While the battery is technically larger (471mAh vs 410mAh), the average battery life is considerably lower, promising only 14 days to its predecessor’s 24. The GTR 2 improves over the original with 4GB of onboard storage for music, a diamond carbon surface to make it resilient to scratches, a speaker and the ability to conduct phone calls from your wrist, if you’re prepared for the odd looks you’ll get as a result.
They’re so alike, in fact, that I was able to sub out the rubber GTR 2’s rubber straps for the faux leather ones that came with my original GTR. Both have 1.4in (36mm) faces and two buttons on the right-hand side alongside touch controls.
It also looks nicer, with the bezel and watch face blending into one disc, rather than the chrome edge the original favoured.ĭesign-wise, however, the two GTRs are pretty similar. For one thing, it feels considerably smoother when moving from menu to menu. In fact, there are improvements across the board, though very little that would actually be picked up in a comparison GTR vs GTR 2 specs table. Amazfit now owns the Zepp brand so the devices have a custom OS in common, which is a huge improvement on the original GTR’s somewhat clunky interface. You might assume the most sensible comparison point for the Amazfit GTR 2 to be the Amazfit GTR but, while there are similarities between the two, it feels closer to the Zepp E.

For £209, it did just enough to warrant a four-star score, based on its excellent looks, superb screen and basic but streamlined interface. A little while ago, I reviewed the Zepp E and was rather keen on it.
