If you own an Amazfit GTR or Amazfit GTS, then a new feature rolling out to the two smartwatches will allow you to unlock your car with just your watch. Don’t get too excited as it is just not any car but a particular Chinese electric car.

According to a post by the official Huami Weibo account, the Amazfit GTS and Amazfit GTR will be able to unlock the Xiaopeng P7/Xpeng P7. This is an electric vehicle that is touted as the Chinese rival to the Tesla Model 3. A post by ITHome says the feature is now available via a new update rolling out to the two watches.

While being able to unlock your car with your watch is definitely a cool feature to have, this particular one is a niche one as the Xpeng P7 is just one out of the several different types of cars available. So being able to unlock just a particular type of car really narrows down the usefulness of the feature. We are also sure there are only a very very small number of persons that own both the car and either of these watches.

Nevertheless, we won’t rule out the possibility of a similar feature being available for other cars in the future especially those from more popular brands.

Huami Technology is known for its Amazfit brand of fitness wearables. The Amazfit GTR 47mm/42mm and Amazfit GTS are one of the most affordable and value for money smartwatches available in the market. They are now receiving new firmware update with bug fixes in China.

The maker of Xiaomi Mi Bands is slowly growing its product portfolio and entering into new markets. At the same time, it continues to support all of its products with regular software updates.

With feedback from its users, the company has been improving the overall experience of its products. Following the trend, the brand releases new firmware update for two of its popular smartwatches – Amazfit GTR 47mm/42mm and Amazfit GTS in China.

The firmware update for these wearables brings different fixes for each. For instance, the 47mm version of GTR gets optimization for battery life and fix for abnormal heart rate syncing, whereas the 42mm variant gets fix for automatic restart issue. Interestingly, the changelog for GTS is same as GTR 47mm with an extra fix for problem with all-day heart rate monitoring.

Here’s the official firmware update changelog shared by Amazfit on Weibo (translated)

• Amazfit GTR 47mm

  • Optimized the watch life after heart health monitoring is turned on
  • Fixed the problem of abnormal heartbeat data syncing from the watch to the app not showing

• Amazfit GTR 42mm

  • Fixed the automatic restart problem caused by Bluetooth

• Amazfit GTS

  • Optimized watch life after open heart health monitoring
  • Fixed the problem of abnormal heartbeat data from the watch to sync app not shown
  • Fixed the problem some users now can not even detect heart rate throughout the day

The post Amazfit GTR 47mm/42mm and Amazfit GTS receive new firmware update with bug fixes in China appeared first on Gizmochina.

It has been more than a year since Huami announced the Amazfit GTR. The Amazfit GTS on the other hand is a few weeks from its 1-year anniversary. Now, there is a chance the Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 may be arriving soon.

The folks at Geekdoing found references to the Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 in source code. The GTR 2 is said to be codenamed “Lisbon” and the GTS 2 is codenamed “Newton”. They also found a third device called Amazfit Neo with the codename “Tokyo”.

More details found in the Amazfit app source code by Xiaomiadictos reveals the Amazfit GTS 2 may come with a round dial, a big change from the square dial of the original. While some may not like it, at least the comparisons to the Apple Watch will die this time around.

Other features found include support for XiaoAI (Chinese version) and Alexa voice assistants, NFC, and an unknown one called “Smart Crown”. There are no details about the Amazfit GTR 2 but it too should have an AMOLED display like its predecessor as well as a built-in smart assistant and NFC. We also have no info on the Amazfit Neo which may be a more affordable smartwatch than the GTR 2 and GTS 2.

Amazfit announced the GTS at IFA 2019, so there is a chance the successor will also be announced at this year’s event. However, we expect a release in China first before a global launch.

Most smartwatches and fitness trackers have sleep tracking which practically activates when you go to bed at night up until you wake up. But of course, nighttime isn’t the only time we sleep.

Huami has begun rolling out an update to the Amazfit GTR and Amazfit GTS that allows the smartwatches to track those naps you have during the day. The new feature will monitor any sporadic nap you have during the day that is more than 20 minutes.

The update brings the firmware version of the Amazfit GTR to 1.3.5.77 and that of the GTS to version 0.0.9.12. So if you own either of these two smartwatches, head to your app store and update your app. The new firmware should then be installed once you connect your watch to your phone.

There is no news on when the feature will roll out to other Amazfit smartwatches or even if they will get it at all.

Among the best Xiaomi subsidiaries, there is Huami, a company that quickly became one of the most important manufacturers in the wearable market. Currently, there are a lot of Amazfit smartwatches in the company’s portfolio: the latest one is the Amazfit Ares. It is affordable, it is rugged and it comes with advanced specs sheets. But is it the best choice among the most recent wearables? This “internal” comparison in which we included Amazfit T-Rex and Amazfit GTR will help you find out which is the best Amazfit smartwatch for your needs.

Huami Amazfit Ares vs Huami Amazfit T-Rex vs Huami Amazfit GTR

Design and build

The Amazfit Ares and the Amazfit T-Rex are rugged wearables, so you do not get exactly the most elegant design. If you need the most beautiful smartwatch, you should definitely go for the Amazfit GTR. It comes in two variants differing for the materials adopted: there is an aluminum version, a stainless steel version, and even a titanium version. The straps are made either of leather or rubber and the smartwatch is waterproof up to 50 meters deep. But if you need the highest build quality, the Amazfit T-Rex is the best with its military certification, Gorilla Glass 3, resistance to high temperatures, and water up to 5 atm. Amazfit Ares sits in the middle: it is a bit rugged and it is waterproof, but it does not offer any kind of certification against drops.

Display

The most impressive display belongs to the Amazfit GTR: it boasts an AMOLED panel with a 1.39-inch diagonal and a resolution of 450 x 450 pixels (there is also a smaller version). It supports the Always On display mode, it has an oleophobic coating and it is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. Amazfit Ares has a square display that may be more comfortable for a lot of people but makes the design less attractive. Despite it does not reach the same quality as the Amazfit GTR, the Amazfit T-Rex still comes with a stunning AMOLED display with a 390 x 390 pixels resolution and it takes the silver medal.

Hardware & Software

With the Amazfit Ares, you have to renounce to an elegant design, but you get the most advanced hardware features. Just check the table above to realize it. You get more interesting sensors, resulting in features such as FIRSTBEAT and VO2max calculation. But how interesting these features depend on your kind of usage. You might even be more interested in the atmospheric pressure sensor found on the Amazfit GTR. The Amazfit Ares supports up to 70 sports modes, which is the highest number. Make your choice depending on your kind of activity.

Battery

Despite it comes with a smaller battery, the Amazfit Ares provides the longest battery life: it delivers up to 90 days on a single charge if you use it in watch mode only. But the battery life decreases a lot and it is inferior to the Amazfit T-Rex with normal usage. While the Amazfit T-Rex reaches 40 days, you can do max 14 days with the Amazfit Ares. The Amazfit GTR lasts 24 days with normal usage.

Price

Amazfit Ares is priced just €65/$71 in China and it is the smartwatch with the best value for money in this comparison. Right Amazfit GTR starts from about €103/$114, while Amazfit T-Rex is priced roughly $116/€105. While Amazfit Ares wins the value for money comparison, Amazfit T-Rex looks like the most complete wearable of this comparison.

Smartwatches have become an increasingly popular accessory amongst several people. They not only tell the time but also perform multiple other functions such as tracking physical activities, alerting you of notifications from your phone, tracking your sleep, measuring your heart rate and more.

If you are on the search for a smartwatch and have a hard time deciding which to buy, we have put together a list that should help you make a decision.

Huawei Watch GT 2 – For the sports enthusiast

The Huawei Watch GT 2 is Huawei’s latest smartwatch and a successor to the Watch GT released back in 2018. Available in two sizes – 42mm and 47mm – the selling point of this watch is its battery life which is up to 14 days on the larger model.

The watch can track up to 15 different activities including elliptical workout, rowing, and free training. It also has automatic workout detection for six activities and a professional sports trainer. There is support for GPS and GLONASS for accurate positional tracking.

Unlike a lot of other watches on this list, the Watch GT 2 can store up to 500 audio files, so you have something to listen to while working out (only supported on Huawei and Honor phones). It also supports voice calls over Bluetooth (46mm version only). Other features include stress-monitoring, sleep monitoring, oxygen saturation detection (SpO2), and menstrual cycle tracking.

Honorable Mention Watch GT 2e – this is a more sports-oriented version of the Watch GT 2. It boasts the same 2-week battery life and can also track several physical activities with the addition of personalized training modes for activities such as skateboarding, surfing, parkour, and rock climbing. The price is €199.

Amazfit GTR – Best Battery Life

When it comes to smartwatches and fitness trackers, Amazfit has become a sort of household name. The manufacturer (Huami) is not only known for its Amazfit-branded products which also includes earbuds and running shoes but is also known as the contractor for Xiaomi’s Mi Band fitness trackers. 

The Amazfit GTR is the first of a new series of smartwatches from the manufacturer. It has a lot going for it from its Gorilla Glass protected AMOLED display to its aluminum/stainless steel/titanium bezel to its support for 12 different activities including elliptical, swimming, and free training. However, top of it all is its 24-day battery life (up to 74 days in basic watch mode) which puts that of the Huawei Watch GT 2 to shame.

The GTR is available in two sizes – 47mm and 42mm – and also comes in several color variants. It is also pretty affordable with a price tag that starts at ¥799 (~$113). However, it sells for a bit higher from third-party retailers.

Amazfit GTS – An Amazfit GTR in a different body

Don’t like round watches, the Amazfit GTS has got you covered with its Super-Retina-grade square AMOLED display. Even with its minimalist design, the GTS is a stylish watch and packs several of the same features as the GTR. It has GPS, NFC, up to 12 activity tracking, music playback control, a heart rate sensor, and is waterproof up to 50 meters. It also has an amazing battery life – up to 46 days in basic watch mode and 14 days of regular use (NFC, notifications, GPS on for 30 minutes each day, sleep monitoring, and heart rate monitoring on).

The Amazfit GTS launched with a more expensive price tag than the GTR and can be purchased for $160 on Giztop.

OPPO Watch – Premium but familiar design

OPPO joined the smartwatch-makers league this year with the OPPO Watch. The smartwatch’s design is greatly-inspired by Apple’s own watch which might make it unpopular among folks who do not want people calling their smartwatch a clone. Design aside, the OPPO Watch is actually a pretty capable smartwatch.

The 46mm version of the watch has a 1.91-inch flexible hyperboloid AMOLED display. Unlike several of the watches on this list, you can download apps onto the OPPO Watch, thanks to its Android-based ColorOS Watch system.

Alongside all the tracking and measuring you will expect of a smartwatch, the OPPO Watch can also make and receive calls even without being paired to a phone and that is because it has an eSIM and cellular connectivity. You can choose to have a different phone number for the watch or have it share one with your phone.

With respect to battery life, the OPPO Watch can last up to 21 days in power saver mode (or basic watch mode). Smart Mode which is when you use all the features including as a phone and connected to the internet, its battery life is 40 hours. Thankfully, the watch supports Watch VOOC fast charge, allowing you to charge it from empty to 50% in just 17 minutes.

The OPPO Watch starts at ¥1499 (~$212) for the 41mm aluminum version and goes up to ¥2499 (~$354) for the Stainless Steel 46mm version.

Mi Watch – A 4G Smartwatch with a familiar design

The Mi Watch launched before the OPPO Watch above and got its own fair share of  “Apple Watch-clone” remarks. We’ll leave it to you to decide which one is more of a clone. When you finally accept the design, you will realize it actually packs some really interesting features.

This watch has an eSIM, 4G, a Snapdragon Wear 3100 processor, and a custom-version of Wear OS called MIUI for Watch. There is support for app downloads, NFC payments, and a built-in smart assistant (XiaoAI). The Mi Watch also boasts a 2-day battery life.

The Mi Watch has a starting price of ¥1299 (~$185).

Xiaomi Watch Color – A less-expensive Amazfit GTR (47mm) but without the battery life

The Xiaomi Watch Color can be termed as a less-expensive alternative to the Amazfit GTR. It has a similar design and even shares some of its specs but skips on some features such as battery life (2-weeks for normal use and 22 days in basic watch mode ) and the number of activities it can track (down to 10). However, you do get NFC, GPS+GLONASS, heart-rate monitoring, and sleep tracking. One feature it has that the Amazfit GTR doesn’t is a built-in smart assistant (XiaoAI) though one that users outside China will find useless.

The Xiaomi Watch Color has an MSRP of ¥799 (~$113) but sells up north of $130 from 3rd-party retailers.

Haylou Watch Solar – Budget with a big B

You are probably wondering why a watch that is yet to go on sale is on this list. Yes, that is because we have faith in the Haylou Watch Solar based on what its sibling, the Haylou LS01, offers.

The Halou Solar is the cheapest watch on this list with a price tag that is a third of the second-cheapest watch on the list. A low-price tag isn’t the only thing this watch has got to offer. The watch has a 1.28-inch display (TFT not AMOLED) that Haylou claims is bright even under direct sunlight. While they have skipped on the type of display, the rest of the features are great.

You get a metal frame (surprisingly not plastic) and 22mm silicone rubber straps (not sure about the quality of the straps, you can purchase replacement bands made from various other materials).

The Haylou Solar can track a total of 12 physical activities including gymnastics, basketball, soccer, yoga, and rowing. It also has 24-hour heart-rate monitoring, sleep tracking, music playback control, and support for notification alerts. Haylou tops it off with a 30-day battery life in basic watch mode (2 weeks with 24-hour heart rate tracking).

The Haylou Solar has an MSRP of ¥149 (~$21) but expect it to sell for between $30 – $35 when it goes on sale. Even at that, it sure is still one of the cheapest smartwatches you can buy.

Huami has released a new software update for the Amazfit GTR smartwatch. The update now allows users to set a timeout on the Always-On Display. The feature is expected to help conserve battery.

The new firmware comes with the version number V1.3.5.32. It also brings a fix to the black screen problem and extends the alarm ring time to 30 seconds. The new update also activates a pop-up reminder when AGPS expires. With such a feature, you won’t be caught in a situation where you’ll discover AGPS has expired when you need to use a feature that requires AGPS.

Amazfit GTR users in Malaysia are already getting the update and so, we expect it to hit other regions pretty soon. You can as well head over to Settings > Check for update menu in the Amazfit app to see if it is available for your device.

The Amazfit GTR smartwatch was released on July 16 and comes in 47/42mm sizes, both adorned with three high-grade metals: titanium, stainless steel and aluminium. The 42mm version is smaller and more compact. The body is only 9.2mm thick and weighs 25.5g.

For the watch face, the Amazfit GTR 42mm series is equipped with a 1.20-inch AMOLED colorful screen with a resolution of 390×390. The screen is covered by the Corning Gorilla 3 with anti-fingerprint (AF) coating. In terms of functions, it supports mobile phone calls, text messages, emails, calendars, social applications and other information reminders, and can also find mobile phones and control mobile phones to play music. The watch also supports contactless payment as it is equipped with a built-in NFC chip. It can also be used to unlock the smart door lock and other contactless services such as bus card.

In terms of battery life, the Amazfit GTR 42mm daily use mode lasts for 12 days, the basic watch mode is 34 days, and the GPS continues to work for 22 hours. The 47mm version sports a bigger 1.39-inch screen with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels.

The Xiaomi Watch COLOR announced today has got lots of folks excited including me. While it looks nothing like the Apple Watch, it does look like a lot of other watches with a circular dial. Extra points for hiding in plain sight.

Xiaomi is yet to announce the price of the watch as well as its features and specifications. However, following the launch of the Xiaomi Watch COLOR, Huami has announced a price reduction for the Amazfit GTR.

The 47mm version of the smartwatch which sold for ¥999 (~$143) when it was launched back in July will now be sold for ¥769 (~$110). The 42mm version which had a launch price of ¥799 (~$114) at launch will now be sold for ¥589 (~$84). At this new price, the 42mm GTR is now cheaper than the Amazfit GTS which is currently sold for ¥799 (~$114).

Huami says the watches will be available at the new prices starting January 1 on JD.com, Xiaomi Youpin, and the Huami online store.

The 47mm Amazfit GTR has a 1.39-inch 454 x 454 AMOLED display while the 42mm version has a 1.2-inch 390 x 390 AMOLED screen. Both have Gorilla Glass 3 protection and an oleophobic coating. The watches connect via Bluetooth 5.0, have NFC, GPS+GLONASS and a BioTracker PPG sensor for advanced heart-rate monitoring. It can track 12 physical activities including outdoor running, treadmill running, walking, outdoor and indoor cycling, elliptical training, climbing, skiing, and swimming.

The Amazfit GTR is not only a watch for tracking your physical activities. It can also control music playback, inform you about the weather, notify you of alerts and calls from your phone. It also has a sedentary reminder, a compass, and a find my phone feature.

The 42mm version packs a 195mAh battery (lasts up to 12 days) and uses a 20mm strap that can be easily replaced while the 47mm version has a 410mAh battery (lasts up to 24 days) and uses a 22mm strap. Both watches are water-resistant up to 5ATM.

Huami has also announced a Lite version of the 47mm GTR that is sold for €99 on Gearbest. It has 8 sport modes instead of 12, does not have GPS, and comes with a silicone strap rather than a leather one.

The smartwatch market began as a revolution in mobile devices but things slowed down after the first wave since they initially were just used for receiving notifications. Nowadays, both software and hardware have evolved so much that smartwatches are really worth a try. According to the latest statistics, Apple Watch is the dominant model holding around 35% of the market share with Samsung coming in second place.

But, although it comes in 1st place, the Apple Watch isn’t all that perfect. It is addressed only to iPhone users and thanks to the strong ecosystem of the company, it achieves high sales numbers, so, it’s a no-go for Android users. In addition, the cheaper models come with an aluminum case that isn’t the most durable material out there. Also, its battery life is a day or less and you need to charge it every night.

Custom OS smartwatches

Besides Samsung that has its own wearables ecosystem (Tizen OS) and has successfully managed to populate it with many popular apps, Huawei and its sub-brand Honor are also selling very noteworthy watches. Huawei Watch GT2 is the latest model and it sells around $249 while the Honor Watch Magic sells at around $129. Both feature a custom OS that constrains their capabilities.

Both are adequately equipped featuring a built-in GPS and up to 50m deep waterproofing. Also, the Honor Watch Magic has a week-long battery life, NFC, etc. Its affordable price makes it popular among youngsters. Still, it is inferior to the Huawei Watch GT
that sports 2 weeks of battery life, a larger display, and better design.

Up next, is Huami that is specialized in smartwatches and grabs a big chunk of the market pie. The flagship model is the Huami Amazfit GTR watch which is available in two sizes – 42 mm and 47 mm. The bigger of the two is more striking and has a longer battery life (24 days vs. 12 days use) and costs just $20 more than the small one. Generally speaking, it is recommended that men choose the bigger one, and ladies choose the smaller one but that’s a matter of personal taste.

It comes with the company’s custom OS and features 12 sports modes while being waterproof up to 50m underwater. What’s more, it comes with an AMOLED high-resolution display that looks great and takes care of keeping battery consumption at a low level since when displaying black colors means zero consumption.

Full OS smartwatches

Apart from the above-mentioned models that come with their own OS and other models that come with Google’s Wear OS platform, there are manufacturers that choose to adopt a full OS. This is the case with KOSPET and its latest flagship model, Prime. The KOSPET Prime is literally a smartphone on your wrist, supporting most of the Android apps found on Play Store. Also, it supports 4G connectivity and you can make phone calls right from your wrist without the need of your smartphone.

Of course, adopting a full OS has its drawbacks like increased power consumption so the Prime comes with a 1260mAh battery, nearly 40% higher than the second in place. This results in a 168h standby time that is the best among Android watches. In addition, it sports a 1.6″ HD display and it is a full-round one as most watches come with a kind of notch that cuts the circle at the bottom. The big display solves many issues as in the past, displays were too small for third-party applications.

As said, it is a smartphone on your wrist and that requires enough power and memory so that it is fast. Prime comes with 3GB/32GB memory combo and that’s the top configuration found at the price tag of KOSPET Prime. Lastly, it is the first smartwatch to come with a dual-camera setup that supports Face ID. Lifting your hand towards your face will instantly unlock the watch thanks to the full Android OS running on the device.

As you can see, the smartwatch market isn’t as simple as the smartphone one due to the OS fragmentation. The high-end luxury category belongs to Apple and Samsung while the mid-range category is where most other manufacturers like Huawei, Honor, and Huami and even small-time manufacturers like Kospet are placed.

There aren’t many full OS smartwatches in the market that look good. But the KOSPET Prime offers pretty good features based on the Android platform. You can check it out from here.

Popular smartwatch maker Huami has officially launched the Amazfit GTR smartwatch for the Indian market. The Amazfit GTR should be the fourth smartwatch Huami has launched this year after the Amazfit Verge 2, Verge Lite and the Amazfit Health Watch. The Amazfit GTR comes ina 42mm and 47mm variants but only the 47mm version has been made available in India.

The Amazfit GTR 47mm packs a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels. The screen is covered by the Corning Gorilla 3 with anti-fingerprint (AF) coating.

The price is slightly higher than the 999 yuan ($140) price in China, perhaps because of customs duties and other import costs. The smartwatch will be available from Flipkart and Myntra starting Thursday, September 12. It comes in an array of colour such as Cherry Blossom Pink, Moonlight White, Starry Black, and Tan am.

Earlier this month, a Mod on Huami‘s forum has let us in on one of the features the next update for the newly launched Amazfit GTR smartwatch would bring. The update was scheduled to hit the device by end of July and will see the Amazfit App dial store get updated with custom dials themed after popular cartoon characters.

Huami has now shared renders of the four new watch faces on its official Weibo page. Te post also hints that the watch faces would be available soon. From the renders, some of the characters include Ali from the popular cartoon Ali the Fox, “Wuhuang Wanshui” cat, and yet another cartoon character Zhu Xiao Pi (Little P). These are popular cartoon characters in China, we presume. Apart from these ones, there are hundreds of cool watch face themes available to watch GTR owners already which would transform the device from just a smartwatch or timepiece to a piece of artwork in your wrist.

The Amazfit GTR is Huami’s latest smartwatch which was announced in July. The watch comes in two different sizes, 42mm and 47mm. While there are minute differences in terms of colour and dimensions, when it comes to specifications both models are identical. Both sizes of the Amazfir GTR packs an AMOLED display with 326PPI pixel density and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top of them and AF Coating. The 47mm version sports a 1.39-inch screen with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels. On the other hand, the 42mm version features a 1.2-inch display with a resolution of 390 x 390 pixels.

Amazfit smartwatches are always known for affordability and feature-rich user experience. These watches are popular among every age group as it brings refined and precise measurements.  The Xiaomi backed Huami has come up with a new Amazfit GTR smartwatch. There are a lot of advancements and enhancements present in the new smartwatch.

Interestingly, the Huami has finally moved towards the round dial with Amazfit GTR. The company appears to be paving a way towards the premium segment with the new watch. Huami launched two different size variants of 42mm and 47mm with a slight difference in the build and color options.  We will discuss all the changes in our comparison of Amazfit GTR vs Amazfit Verge. Let’s have a quick look at the specifications of both the smartwatches:

Amazfit GTR vs Amazfit Verge: Specs

Design and assembly

Most of the Amazfit smartwatches are known for their cost-cutting square dials, but the Amazfit GTR is breaking the regime with a round dial. It beautifully fits in hand and is more attractive than the Amazfit Verge. The newly launched GTR is 5ATM water and dust resistant and can resist water up to the depth of 50 meters, whereas the Amazfit Verge carries IP68 certification only. The Amazfit GTR is available in two different sizes – 42 mm and 47 mm. The slimmer variant is about 9.2mm thick and weighs 25.5 grams. However, the 47mm variant is a bit heavy and bulkier weighing over 48 grams. The Amazfit 47 mm version comes in aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium metals. The Amazfit Verge has a plastic body, circular dial, and just one plastic button on the upper right. It becomes quite difficult to charge the Amazfit Verge.

Huami has introduced the new titanium build for the first time on any Amazfit watch. On average, the titanium build goes through 15 processes and takes 55 days to produce a single unit of the titanium watch. It is widely used in the aerospace industry due to its incomparable properties like hardness, corrosion resistance, lightweight and biocompatibility. The titanium smartwatch version comes paired with a rubber-coated hybrid strap. It is coated with a high wear-resistant oxide layer to enhance strap durability.

The stainless steel comes coated with high-gloss IP chrome film and AF anti-fingerprint film coating to enhance the metallic color.

Display: 

The bigger Amazfit GTR wins with  1.39 -inches AMOLED display and the resolution of 454 x 454 pixels with 326 PPI pixel density. It has the most vibrant and large display. Meanwhile, the 43mm version is a bit small with 1.2-inches AMOLED display and 290 x 290 pixels resolution. Both the smartwatches fare well against the Amazfit Verge which carries a 1.3-inch display and 360 x 360 pixels resolution. Other features like Anti-Fingerprint coating makes the new watch our favorite pick among both. The AMOLED displays on both the smartwatches make the text more crisp and clear.

Hardware

The Amazfit Verge uses a dual-core 1.2GHz processor with 512 MB RAM and 4GB onboard memory. However, the Amazfit GTR uses low-power chip along with a new circuit design aimed at optimizing the power usage. It facilitates the brightness control and motion modes to save power.  The power efficiency is improved with the reduction in the power consumption of about 48.7%. The GPS is optimized and has jolted down the use by 51.2 percent.

Amazfit GTR hosts 15 different sensors including BioTracker PPG Bio-Tracking Optical Sensor, 6-Axis Accelerometer, 3 Axial Geomagnetic Sensor, Air Pressure Sensor, Capacitive Sensor, Ambient Light Brightness Sensor, and others.

Software

The customers can easily choose between 100 dials having different styles and effects to customize the watch’s UI. Every dial is efficient and displays massive information like time and date, heart rate, steps count, remaining power, etc. all on a single screen.

To make the Operating system more intuitive and streamlined, Huami has divided functions into three different parts of daily, sports and health use. The Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity facilitates users to get text messages, email, calendars, social applications, and other information reminders.

On the other hand, Users can also initiate cardless transactions with the help of in-built NFC chip. Amazfit has integrated the NFC functionality with subway cards across 253 cities in China. It also supports bus transfer card. Alipay support is also present on the new Amazfit GTR watch for offline code-scan payments.

Amazfit Verge introduced ten different sports activities. Meanwhile, Amazfit GTR has 12 professional sports modes with 100 sports courses. It can easily differentiate and measure walking, running, outdoor riding, swimming, and different exercises. In real-time, it can report high heart rate, pressure rate, and other metrics.

Unlike the Amazfit verge, the Amazfit GTR supports Huami’s own BioTracker PPG technology which can precisely monitor 24-hour uninterrupted heart rate and can also report heart vibrations. It also helps to measure fat burning during exercise.

Amazfit Verge is compatible with any device running Android 4.4+ and iOS 9.0. The newly launched smartwatch supports Android 5.0+ and iOS 10.0 and above running devices.

Battery

The Amazfit Verge can withstand five days of regular usage upon the full charge, whereas, the new GTR smartwatch can work up to 24 days with regular usage. Notably, the Amazfit GTR 47 mm version comes with a 410 mAh LiPo battery and supports up to 24-days of battery life with normal usage and extends up to 74 days in basic watch mode (turning off Bluetooth, heart-rate and other functions). The GTR 42mm variant comes with 195 mAh battery and can last up to 12-days battery life with regular use and extends to 34 days with basic watch mode.

However, the Amazfit Verge’s 390 mAh battery gets fully charged within an hour, but the Amazfit GTR charges take 2 hours to charge 410 mAh battery.

Other features

Amazfit GTR 47mm Iron Man Edition will come with stainless steel case, iron man red-colored wristband and a Marvel’s commemorative coins. In connectivity, Huami added new Bluetooth 5.0 instead of the Bluetooth 4.0 present in the Amazfit Verge.

Pricing

Amazfit Verge was launched at the price of $116. This time, the Amazfit GTR 42mm is priced at 799 yuan ($116), and the limited edition Swarovski model will be available for 999 yuan ($145). The bigger, Amazfit GTR 47 mm aluminum and stainless steel versions will be available for 999yuan ($145). The titanium-based Iron Man special edition will go for 1399  yuan which roughly translates to $203.

Both the smartwatches fared well in our comparison of Amazfit GTR vs Amazfit Verge. The Verge is a bit old and is devoid of some new features, but the price is also considerably lower than the GTR.

Huami just launched the Amazfit GTR smartwatch yesterday, and it’s been warmly received. Apparently Huami is also quite happy about the little wearable, as they’re still trumpeting its features around. The company is especially proud of the Amazfit GTR 47mm’s battery life, which they claim can go to up to 74 days on a single charge.

It might seem like a ridiculous number, mainly because it actually is. Of course, the caveat is that you need to run it in basic mode, but it’s still a fairly impressive feat. Basic mode removes most of the functionality from the smartwatch, keeping only the base essentials. On normal mode, the device can last up to 24 days on a charge, which is still fantastic.

The Amazfit GTR 42mm may not be as great as the 47mm, but it’s also no slouch. The smaller wearable can last up to 34 days on basic mode, which means you only need to charge it once a month. The normal mode battery life is also pretty good at 12 days. Only needing to charge your smartwatch once every two weeks is still pretty great.

The standard variants of the Amazfit GTR 42mm is priced at 799 yuan ($116), while the limited edition swarovski model will go on sale for 999 yuan ($145). The Amazfit GTR 47mm aluminum alloy and stainless steel versions go for 999 yuan (US$ 145), while the titanium version and Iron Man special edition are priced at 1399 yuan (US$ 203). All of these are available for order starting today in China.

Last month, Huami announced two new smartwatches – the Amazfit Verge 2 and the Amazfit Health Watch. A few weeks before the June launch, it announced the Amazfit Bip Lite and the Amazfit Verge Lite. Today, Huami has announced it will unveil a new watch called the Amazfit GTR on July 16.

The Amazfit GTR (Grand Tour Racing) will be unveiled in Beijing according to Huami. One of its main features will be its case which will be made from Titanium. Titanium is more durable than stainless steel and has excellent corrosion resistance.

With respect to its design, a silhouette of the watch shown in a teaser poster reveals it will have a circular dial and two buttons on the right. Huami also revealed on Weibo that the watch will have 24-day battery life.

The Amazfit GTR is already available on pre-order on Jingdong, Tmall, and Xiaomi’s official website. Those who pre-order get a ¥60 coupon which they have to use before July 31. There are no images of the watch on the listing which isn’t surprising but the page does say the watch will go on sale the same day it launches.

In early June, Huami revealed its plans to launch over 10 smartwatches in the coming months and it seems set to keep to its words. Counting the GTR will bring the number to 5 which means we should expect at least 5 more watches before the end of the year.
