A new update is rolling out to the Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 smartwatches. The update brings new features to the two watches, with the key one being support for more sports modes.
According to an official Weibo post, the update is currently available only for Android users. The iOS update has been delayed as it has not yet passed the iOS app store review as a result of the Thanksgiving Holiday in the US. The update arrives as version 5.6.0 for Android and has already been reviewed by the various Android app stores.
Huami says the update brings a new motion recognition function. It also increases the number of supported sports modes to 90. The manufacturer had promised during the launch of the two watches that an update will increase the supported sports modes from 12 to 90.
Users will also be able to edit the list of supported sports modes so that they can bring their favorite sports to the top of the list. The changelog also says that the smartwatches will not light up every time a new message alert comes in.
This new update is the third firmware update for the Amazfit GTS 2 and Amazfit GTR 2 since they were announced in September. The two watches have AMOLED displays but of different shapes and sizes – a 1.65-inch rectangular display for the GTS 2 and a 1.39-inch circular display for the GTR 2.
Both watches have 4GB of storage (3GB for the global version), built-in GPS+GLONASS, a SpO2 sensor, a heart rate sensor, XiaoAI voice assistant (Alexa for the global version), NFC, and a battery life of up to 7 days for the Amazfit GTS and up to 14 days for the Amazfit GTR. The two watches are priced at $179.
