AmazfitGTS 2 Mini Smart Watch for Men Android iPhone, Alexa Built-in, 14-Day Battery Life, Fitness Tracker with GPS & 70+ Sports Modes, Blood Oxygen Heart Rate Monitor, 5 ATM Water Resistant-Black

After going through three Fitbits that have died on me after a year, I decided to try another brand of smart watch. While I would love an Apple Watch, the need to charge every day is not ideal. I don't want to have to add charging my watch each day to the many other things I have to remember to do. So, I decided to try this Amazfit GTS 2 Mini. It is among the thinnest and lightest of smart watches, and I didn't want anything bulky on my arm.I'm really happy with it so far! It has taken about four days to really play with it and understand all that it can do. For instance, today, i just discovered that I can create customized watch faces. I thought I was stuck with the pre-made ones in their watch store. This really makes me feel like I can make the watch very personalized to me.I really like the long battery life. I also like how immediately and quickly it syncs. It used to take my old fitbits FOREVER to sync. I love that I can customize the shortcuts to only see the features I want in the order I want. I love that I could customize the app to hide the features I won't use and put the features I will use in the order in which I want to see them. I really like the countdown app, the cycle tracker, the meditation breathing, the sleep tracking, the heart rate monitor, step tracker, the weather (although it could be more self-explanatory), the ability to control sound and move forward/backwards when playing music, podcasts, or other audio from my iphone.My favorite feature is that I can have a plain digital clock display with the date, day, and steps when the screen is off. That was the feature that sold me on the watch!The screen is also beautiful. The band is quite plain-looking relative to the beauty of the watch, but I'm just ordering a nicer band to put on it.I got all of these many new features in a device that still cost much less than what I was paying for those Fitbits!!I'm giving it four stars only because I had a few glitches that I hope won't become long-term issues. One issue was that some of the notifications weren't coming through. However, after restarting and changing a setting on my phone, it has been back to working fine. The other issue was that after a day or two the digital clock was not displaying when the screen was off. I'm not sure if that was a watch system issue or if I have a setting somewhere that was not configured properly.It does have Alexa (to provide text-based responses), but I disabled it. It only seemed to work when you have the Zepp app open on the phone. Doing that would get so cumbersome that it would defeat the purpose of having it readily available on the watch.Overall, I am very happy with this watch!UPDATE: I'm actually bumping to five stars. I am so much happier with this watch than my old Fitbits. The screen is gorgeous. I realized that I wasn't getting the digital screen-off clock because the watch turns it off when it thinks I'm sleeping. After I wake and get moving, it starts displaying again. Neat! The displays of notifications are still unclear to me, and it can't get the weather for the exact place where I live (only for the next county over). Still, I'm really happy with this watch given its price and the other options out there on the market. I notice that I'm using the meditation/breathing bubble app quite often!SECOND UPDATE: They need a better instruction manual for this watch. Just when I think I had discovered all that it can do, I come across other features that I didn't know about. I didn't realize that all of the watch faces can come with their own screen off watch faces. Also, the watch faces you customize have their own bare bones screen off watch face (so that you can get the color of text you want for the screen off face). Being able to customize the screen off watch face has been awesome! I also had not understood the "lit when wrist lift" setting. I now have that off, which is what I prefer. Realizing these functions saves battery life and helps me customize the watch even more to my style and liking. As for battery life, in the first week, I got a little over four days of battery life on a full charge. However, I was playing with it a lot and I had not realized how to use the "lit when lift wrist" function. Now that I turned off the "lit when lift wrist function," I'm getting longer battery life. Even happier with my watch!

Desde que lo compré, se ha vuelto parte de mi rutina diaria. Es muy cómodo de llevar La batería me sorprendió muchísimo: me dura más de una semana con uso normal.

Update #2I contacted Amazon support, who arranged for me to receive a replacement watch. I've worn the replacement for a week - and updated it - and it's working fine.I'm changing my rating to 4 stars. If the manufacturer company ever changes the support contact form on their website to not require data items that cannot be ascertained if the product is unable to be turned on, I will consider changing my rating to 5 stars.I do love the watch. But product vendors *have* to support their products.Update #1Initially, I was over the moon when I received this watch. I was so impressed, I talked my husband into getting one. He's crazy about it, too. Then, today happened.The app told me there was an update and the button was illuminated that said to transfer it to the watch. So I did. The transfer progress bar reached the end, and the watch went dark as if it was restarting. Except that it didn't. I tried pressing the start button on the watch, and plugging it in to its charging cable. No sign of life.Here's the worst part though. In the app you can go to the Help screen... IF it can sync with the watch. Obviously, I can't. Great - no support through the app. So I found the feedback link in the app. But that's for suggestions for new or better features. Undaunted, I went ahead and used it. I got an auto-response saying they would take my suggestions under consideration. le sigh.Hoping for the best, I went to the website, and found a Support contact interface. But you have to be able to enter the build version of the watch into the contact form. To find the build version, you have to turn on the watch. I can't turn on the watch, and that's a required field on the Support contact interface. So I can't reach support that way.Finally, I found an actual email link. I emailed all of this information to that address. I got an auto response saying that my email had been blocked. At this point, I've spent far too much time explaining the problem to nobody.My final, last ditch effort is to come here and change my review to 1 star, in hopes that *someone* from the company will answer me. If not, I will send this dead watch back to where it came from.If you are considering purchasing this watch, be advised that getting support for a dead unit will be nigh unto impossible.- - - ORIGINAL REVIEW - - -I ordered this on 9/10, received it on 9/11. When I received the watch, I charged it to 100%. Since 7pm on 9/11, I've taken it off only to shower. Configuring the phone via the app was mostly intuitive, and I quickly had it set the way I wanted it to remain dark during my sleep cycles.I haven't been tracking my steps as closely as I have my sleep score. We have a late model Sleep Number bed with the SleepIQ app, and I've been dissatisfied with the scores on that system because I was sure it was picking up our cats' nocturnal motion rather than my own. This watch has proven my suspicions.But what seems absolutely stunning to me is the battery life and comfort of this watch. It's very light in terms of physical weight. I've been wearing a Samsung Galaxy, and this AmazFit is so much easier to wear. And two weeks on a single charge is - well, amazing. Today is 9/25. I just now plugged it in, and it was still at 22% charge.I'm hopeful that more watch faces become available, or that the app developers will publish a guide to enable users to make and submit their own. I'm hopeful that some of the data which must currently be entered manually can one day be detected via the watch, including blood pressure. Other than these minor details, which are common to Samsung's Galaxy watches as well, I'm well satisfied.I do think I'll update the watch band though. It isn't uncomfortable in the least, but it's plastic. I want to dress this fine watch up a bit! :-)
