Amazfit launched the GTS 2 mini in India back in December 2020. At the time of launch, it didn’t have the Amazon’s Alexa assistant features built-in. However, it is getting it now via an OTA update in India.

Amazfit has sent a press release(via XDADevelopers) to notify the new feature on the Amazfit GTS 2 mini. Accordingly, users of the smartwatch are now getting the Alexa support via an OTA update. After updating the wearable to the latest firmware, users can send voice commands to Alexa AI Assistant via their smartwatch.

Specifically, you can now play music, set an alarm, provide weather forecasts, get traffic updates, and do more via the Alexa. For the unware, Alexa is a virtual assistant AI technology developed by Amazon. It was used on the company’s Echo devices initially in November 2014 and expanded to other devices gradually.

Coming back, the update has a firmware version 1.0.2.31 and it should enable all the features of Alexa assistant on GTS 2 mini. The GTS 2 mini is currently retailing on the Amazfit website and Amazon India for ₹6,999($96.24). It is available in Black, Sage Green, or Pink color.

You can follow the steps below to enable the Alexa on your GTS 2 mini:

This year was a big one for wearables as several smartwatches from various manufacturers and across different price categories were announced. We also had new players such as OPPO and Vivo make their entry into the wearables market with the OPPO Watch and Vivo Watch respectively. If you are on the search for a new smartwatch, then our list of the best smartwatches of the year should help you.

Best Apple Watch – Apple Watch Series 6

If you want to grab an Apple Watch, it makes sense that you pick the best, and currently, that is the Apple Watch Series 6. It has a great display, new health features including blood oxygen level detection, ECG, and lots of sports functions. With a starting price of $399, you can’t go wrong with Apple’s latest offering.

Honorable Mention: Apple Watch SE

The Apple Watch SE is an alternative if your budget is under $300. It packs a lot of important features such as a retina display, fall detection, sleep tracking, and heart rate measurement but it drops others such as ECG and Blood Oxygen level detection to keep the price tag low. It starts at $279.

Best non-Wear OS Smartwatches – Samsung Galaxy Watch3 and Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro

If you want a smartwatch that doesn’t run Wear OS, then you can choose between Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 3 and Huawei’s Watch GT 2 Pro. Both watches run their own proprietary operating systems – LiteOS on the Huawei watch and Tizen OS on the Samsung watch.

These two watches combine style and functionality and are made from premium materials including titanium. Both watches have ECG*, blood oxygen level measurement, sleep monitoring, and support for professional sports. The Galaxy Watch 3 starts at $399 while the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro starts at €299.

Honorable Mention – Amazfit GTR 2

If you want something much more affordable than the Huawei Watch GT 2 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3, the Huami’s Amazfit GTR 2 is a great choice. This round-faced watch has an AMOLED display, SpO2 sensor, heart rate monitor, sleep tracking, Amazon Alexa, support for Bluetooth calls, in-built storage, GPS, support for 90 sports modes, and 14-day battery life. It is priced at $179.99.

Best Rugged Smartwatch – Garmin Fenix 6 Pro

If you want an outdoor/rugged watch that does it all, then the $699.99 Garmin Fenix 6 Pro is the watch for you. It packs a 1.3-inch transflective display with a 260 x 260 resolution and Gorilla Glass DX or Sapphire Crystal. Alongside all you will expect from a standard smartwatch, the Garmin Fenix 6 Pro justifies its price tag with a lot of premium features you won’t find on most of the other watches on this list.

It allows you to add maps; store up to 2000 songs on its 32GB of built-in storage; provides support for pre-loaded activities such as skiing, trail running, rowing, and golfing; and provides access to CourseView maps for more than 41,000 golf courses across the world.

Its battery life varies but in smartwatch mode, it goes up to 14 days on a single charge.

Honorable Mention – Amazfit T-Rex

At $699.99, the Fenix 6 Pro will definitely be out of the range of several folks, but you can pick up the Amazfit T-Rex rugged smartwatch for a fraction of that price, $139.99 to be precise. It misses out on several features of the Garmin watch but if all you want is a watch that will survive outdoors, then it will do.

It has 12 military-grade certifications and will handle extreme temperatures and weather. The AMOLED screen is 1.3 inches in size just like that of the Fenix 6 Pro but it is sharper as its resolution is higher. There are fourteen supported professional sports modes, built-in GPS, and it has heart rate monitoring, a 20-day battery life, and a 5ATM water-resistant rating.

While it launched for €129, the watch can be purchased for €99 in a number of European countries.

Honorable Mention – Mi Watch Lite

The Mi Watch Lite makes for an honorable mention. With a price tag of around $60, this is for those who want to save even more money. It doesn’t have SpO2 measurement and its sports modes are fewer at just 11. Nevertheless, you get a square 1.4-inch dial with more than 120 watch faces to choose from, heart rate measurement, a barometer, GPS, and a battery life of about 9 days.

Best Fitness Tracker – Amazfit Band 5

Honorable Mentions – Xiaomi Mi Band 5 and Honor Band 6

The Mi Band 5 is a cheaper alternative to the Amazfit Band 5. Both can pass for the same as they are made by the same manufacturer, Huami. However, Xiaomi’s own doesn’t have blood oxygen level detection, Amazon Alexa, and women’s health tracking. It currently goes for between $30 and $35.

Priced at about ~$40 Honor Band 6 packs a much bigger display than the other two fitness trackers. It is a 1.47-inch AMOLED display with a 368 x 194 resolution. The fitness tracker has support for 10 sports modes, automatic workout detection, SpO2 measurement, 5 ATM water resistance rating, and 14-day battery life. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have GPS.

The post The Best Smartwatches and Fitness Trackers of 2020 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this month, Huami launched the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini smartwatch in its home country China. Three weeks later, the company has now announced this wearable for India. Priced at ₹6,999 ($95), the product will go on sale starting December 26 in the region. It can be bought from either Amazfit online store or Amazon India in Black, Sage Green, or Pink color variant.

1 of 3

The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini is the latest smartwatch from Huami. After unveiling it in China, the firm announced it for the global markets (western) late last week priced at $99. Now, this fitness tracker disguised as a smartwatch has reached the Indian shores as well.

As its name suggests, the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini is a watered-down version of the regular Amazfit GTS 2, which also recently debuted in India for ₹12,999 ($176). Almost at half the price of the standard model, it offers everything one needs in a fitness wearable.

The major differences between the mini and the regular variants are that the former is lighter in weight, sports a smaller AMOLED display, only 70+ sports modes, and neither features internal storage for music nor a speaker for calls.

If you are fine with the above-mentioned shortcomings, the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini is a better buy than the regular Amazfit GTS 2 that costs almost double in all the regions where both of them are available.

The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini was announced at the beginning of this month. The smartwatch made its debut in China as a more affordable version of the Amazfit GTS 2 that was launched back in September. Now Huami has taken the new mini watch to global markets.

If you are in the US, you will be able to grab the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini from Amazfit’s US online store for $99.99 which is a fair price considering it sells for ¥699 (~$107) in China. Honestly, we expected a higher price tag. The smartwatch is available in Green, Pink, and Black color variants.

The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini has a 1.55-inch AMOLED display with a 2.5D glass cover and sits inside an aluminum alloy case. Huami says it has a borderless design thanks to the curved glass on top. The watch has matching silicone straps and users can choose from over 50 different watch faces with over 30 Always-on Display patterns to style up their watch.

The smartwatch supports over 70 different sports modes including indoor swimming and outdoor cycling. It will notify you of exercise stages, conditions and heart rate zones, and will provide a data report when you are down with your workout.

EDITOR’S PICK: With the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini, there’s no compelling reason to get the Amazfit GTS 2

The GTS 2 Mini has a heart rate sensor with 24-hour heart rate monitoring and also has Sp02 and stress level measurement. It will also measure the quality of your sleep including daytime naps. Other supported features are female health (menstrual cycle tracking), Amazon Alexa assistant, breathing exercises, music playback control, Pomodoro clock, and Bluetooth camera remote.

1 of 2

The smartwatch has a 220mAh battery that will provide up to 14 days of battery lfe in typical usage and up to 7 days in heavy usage. It goes up to 21 days in basic watch mode.

The US store also has the Amazfit Bip U which launched first in India. The square-faced watch is priced at $59.99 but has been discounted to $49.99. Unfortunately, it can only be picked up in black as the Pink and Green variants are listed as out of stock. The Amazfit Band 5 has also been discounted to $39.99 from its original price of $49.99.

Huami announced two new smartwatches today, one of which is the Amazfit GTS 2e. This new smartwatch brings the models under the Amazfit GTS 2 series to three which is a lot considering last year’s GTS watch was only available in one model.

When the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini was announced, I wrote an opinion piece on why the smartwatch was a better purchase than the standard Amazfit GTS 2. Now that there is a third model now, we are sure our readers will want to know which of these three watches is worth purchasing. We hope this post makes it easier for you to choose from the lineup. First, let’s have a spec by spec and features comparison of the features of all three watches:

The table clearly shows the differences between the three smartwatches which cuts across multiple areas including the display, features, and price. Below, we will focus on the major differences

Display and Materials

This is the part of the smartwatch users will interact with the most, so it will most likely be the dealbreaker or dealmaker for anyone who is considering any of the three watches.

The Amazfit GTS 2 and GTS 2e both have the same screen which is a 1.65-inch Super Retina Display. Where they differ is in the glass covering the screen – you get a 3D curved glass on the former while the latter has 2.5D glass. Apart from aesthetics, the screens are the same. So you can’t go wrong with either of them.

However, the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini has a smaller and less sharp AMOLED display. It is not bad but it won’t measure up to that of its siblings.

Coming to materials, Huami uses the same material for the case of all three watches which is commendable. It is aluminum alloy but the finish is different and that is one of what makes them different.

Sports Modes and Features

The Amazfit GTS 2 lineup supports a plethora of sports modes – 90 modes on the Amazfit GTS 2 and GTS 2e while the GTS 2 Mini has 70, which is more than sufficient if you ask me.

All three of the watches support the basics too such as heart rate measurement, blood oxygen level detection, and sleep tracking. The GTS 2e adds temperature measurement, a feature not available on the more expensive GTS 2 and the more affordable GTS 2 Mini. According to Huami, you can use the temperature sensor to measure ambient temperature and also the skin (surface) temperature of the wearer.

The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini’s own unique feature is support for women’s health and it is surprising it is the only one of the three that has it. This will make it appeal more to women as the menstrual calendar along with reminders for periods and ovulation will surely come in handy.

The Amazfit GTS has its own unique features too, one of which is built-in storage that allows users to store their own songs on the watch. Another feature it has is support for Bluetooth calls, so you can pick calls on it and talk back as it has not only a microphone but a speaker too. It is also the only one that connects via Wi-Fi.

Battery life

The Amazfit GTS 2 and Amazfit GTS 2e have the same battery capacity but the latter has better battery life. The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini which has a smaller battery but of course smaller screen also has a great battery life too that matches that of the Amazfit GTS 2e.

Price

The Amazfit GTS 2 is the most expensive of the three, and Huami may justify that with its sharper display, built-in storage, support for calls, and more premium finish. The Amazfit GTS 2e is more affordable while retaining most of the features of its sibling. It also has a significantly better battery life which is one of the cons of the Amazfit GTS 2.

The GTS 2 Mini is the most affordable of them all and that low price is due to the tradeoffs in the screen size and type, fewer sports modes, and motor type. Its battery life also matches that of the new Amazfit GTS 2e.

Conclusion

I already said there isn’t a compelling reason to get the Amazfit GTS 2 since there is the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini, and the launch of the Amazfit GTS 2e further reinforces that point. The GTS 2e packs the same display as the GTS 2, most of its features, and a way better battery life at just ¥100 more than the Mini model. All of these make the Amazfit GTS 2 a hard sell.

So if you want to pick up a model from the second-gen GTS series, the Amazfit GTS 2e or the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini are what we will consider first before the Amazfit GTS 2.

Last week, Huami confirmed the arrival of Amazfit GTR 2 to India. Now, ahead of December 17 launch, the pricing and features of the wearable have been revealed.

Amazfit GTR 2 India Price, Availability

As reported by XDADevelopers, Amazfit GTR 2 price has been revealed on Flipkart, and it’s official website. You can take a look at the price of the Classic, and Sports edition below:

• Sports Edition- ₹12,999$($176)*
• Class Edition- ₹13,499($183)*

As mentioned above, the Amazfit GTR 2 will be available for purchase on both the Amazfit website and Flipkart after the official launch. Now, the device is up for pre-orders on the official website whereas Flipkart shows the  ‘Coming soon’ message and a ‘Notify Me’ button. Additionally, the Amazfit website says the Delivery will start from December 17 suggesting the sale date.

*- users who pre-order the fitness tracker before the launch date will get an additional strap for free.

Amazfit GTR 2 Specifications, Features

Although Huami lists the specifications and features of the GTR 2, we already know that from the China launch back in September. The wearable is merely a fitness tracker but hides under the look of a Smartwatch. It comes in two modes- Classic and Sports Edition.

Measuring 46.4*46.4*10.7mm, the GTR 2 weighs 31.5g(Sport) and 39g(Classic) and comes in Obsidian Black color. You get a Round display upfront and two circular crowns on the right side. Amazfit says the body is made of Aluminum alloy(Sport), Stainless steel(Classic), and the touch screen with tempered glass, Anti-fingerprint, and ODLC coating.

It features a 1.39-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 454×454, 450 nits brightness, and 326 PPI. For connectivity, you get built-in GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, and Wi-Fi (2.4GHz). A 471mAh battery backs all this and it charges via a Magnetic charging stand. Amazfit claims that one charge will give a typical battery life of up to 14 days.

As for features, the GTR 2 has a self-developed BioTracker, 2 PPG with blood oxygen monitoring. It also supports 24-hr heart rate monitoring, stress and sleep monitor,  12 sport modes, PAI health assessment, Amazon Alexa built-in, and more. Apart from GTR 2, Amazfit has already confirmed that it will launch the Amazfit GTS 2, and GTS 2 Mini in India.

Huami announced the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini yesterday as a more affordable version of the Amazfit GTS 2 which itself is still a new smartwatch. After comparing the specs of the two watches, I can not come up with a justifiable reason to choose the latter.

The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini packs the necessary upgrades that earn it the tag of the true successor to the original Amazfit GTS that launched a year ago. It does this while keeping the price tag affordable. A few reviews I have come across said the Amazfit GTS 2 doesn’t offer enough to justify its price tag. For those who share a similar sentiment, I believe the GTS 2 Mini may be the smartwatch for them to purchase. I hope the points below help to convey why I believe so:

A smaller display but still AMOLED

The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini has an AMOLED screen. It is a 1.55-inch display with a 354 x 306 resolution and a ppi of 301. The screen is smaller than that of the original Amazfit GTS and the Amazfit GTS 2 and its resolution is also lower but it should suffice.

The display is housed in an aluminum alloy case with a plastic bottom shell. These are the same materials used for the Amazfit GTS 2. So just because it is cheaper doesn’t mean it comes with lower-quality materials. It is important to mention that Huami doesn’t say if the GTS 2 Mini has any form of protection for the screen but the GTS 2 drops the Gorilla Glass 3 protection of its predecessor for a diamond-like carbon coating that makes the screen more resistant to scratches and wear.

More than enough sports modes

The Amazfit GTS 2 launched with 12 sports modes out of the box but a recent update brought the total number to 90. That is definitely a lot and we are sure only a fraction of them will be used. The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini doesn’t disappoint either as it comes with 70 sports modes right out of the box. That is fewer than 90 but a lot more than the 12 sports the original Amazfit GTS has.

SpO2 Sensor? Women’s Health? Check!

One of the upgrades the Amazfit GTS 2 brings over the first-gen model is support for blood oxygen level (SpO2) detection. The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini also comes with a SpO2 sensor. Another feature that the mini has is Women’s Health Management which tracks period and ovulation dates. Surprisingly the Amazfit GTS 2 doesn’t have this feature.

EDITOR’S PICK: Amazfit Pop Pro launched in China with built-in GPS, compass, and Xiao AI voice assistant

It has built-in GPS

Huami is known to remove GPS from the more affordable models of its smartwatches. The Amazfit Bip Lite and Amazfit Bip S Lite are examples. Thankfully, that is not the case with the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini. It has GPS and GLONASS for positioning when exercising outdoors. It also has an accelerometer, geomagnetic sensor, and gyroscope.

AI Assistant and NFC on board

Just like the Amazfit GTS 2, the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini has Xiaomi’s XiaoAI Assistant, so you can set reminders, ask questions, and control compatible smart home products. We believe the global version will swap the Chinese assistant for Amazon’s Alexa assistant when it launches. The watch also has NFC but this will most likely not be available for the global version. The global version of the Amazfit GTS 2 also doesn’t have NFC but the one sold in China has.

Longer Battery Life

The Amazfit GTS 2 Mini has a smaller 220mAh battery capacity but its battery life – 14 days for typical usage is double that of the Amazfit GTS 2 which has a slightly larger 246mAh capacity.

What is missing?

To keep the price tag low, the GTS 2 Mini doesn’t have built-in storage so you can’t store songs or audiobooks on it but it does support music playback control when linked to a phone. It also doesn’t have a speaker so you cannot accept calls on it. Another missing feature is that its screen doesn’t rotate to accommodate both left and right-handed users. Other missing features are offline voice assistant, stress-level monitoring, and an air pressure sensor.

Conclusion

With a price tag of ¥699 (~$107), the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini costs even less than the original Amazfit GTS which launched for ¥899 (~$137). The Amazfit GTS 2 is ¥999 (~$152) in China, $179.99 in the US, €169 in Europe, and £159 in the UK.

We expect the global version of the GTS 2 Mini to be priced between $120 – $130 which makes it $50 to $60 cheaper than its sibling. For that price difference, and seeing that you are not missing much, the GTS 2 Mini will likely sell faster than its sibling.

The post With the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini, there’s no compelling reason to get the Amazfit GTS 2 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huami has launched two more smartwatches in its home country China. The new models are called Amazfit GTS 2 Mini and Amazfit Pop Pro. As their name suggests, the first one is a toned-down version of the recently launched Amazfit GTS 2, whereas the second wearable is a higher variant of Amazfit Pop. Here in this article, we will take a closer look at the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini.

Amazfit GTS 2 Mini  Specifications and Features

The newly launched Amazfit GTS 2 Mini is a smaller and slimmer version of Amazfit GTS 2 that debuted in late September. It sports a 1.55-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 354 x 306 pixels and 301 ppi. The panel not only supports 50+ watch faces but also AOD functionality.

The body of the wearable is made of aluminum alloy, however, the bottom part features a plastic build. Further, the watch ships with a silicone strap and the whole product is 5ATM water-resistant.

Being a watered-down variant, the smartwatch measures 40.5 x 35.8 x 8.95mm in dimensions and weighs 19.5g. Both these measurements don’t include the strap.

Like any other new Amazfit watch, this one also comes with Huami BioTracker 2 PPG Biological Optical Sensor (heart-rate sensor, SpO2 sensor), accelerometer, gyro sensor, compass, ambient light sensor, vibration motor, and microphone.

The wearable connects with smartphones via Bluetooth 5.0 BLE through the Zepp app and has built-in GNSS (GPS, GLONASS) for activity tracking. Additionally, it also has NFC for contactless payments and transit passes.

Notably, the wearable was recently spotted on FCC, so an imminent launch was expected.

Huami recently took the wraps off the global version of the Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 smartwatches. So far, the Chinese manufacturer has launched nothing less than 6 smartwatches this year but it doesn’t seem to be done yet. A listing on the FCC website has revealed there is a new smartwatch coming called the Amazfit GTS 2 Mini.

The original Amzaift GTS didn’t have a mini version or lite version but the Amazfit GTR had a lite version that didn’t have built-in GPS. It seems this year, Huami is taking a different path by launching a more affordable version of the square-face GTS 2.

The FCC documents reveal the model number of the watch is A2018 and the included diagrams of the upcoming smartwatch show the watch’s design is similar to that of the Amazfit Bip. The watch has thick bezels around the display and a single button on the left side of the frame. The frame itself has rounded corners and is attached to straps that are most likely 20mm in size.

There is still a lot we do not know about the watch but we believe more details will surface in the coming weeks. There is also no news yet as to when the watch will be announced but we believe it will launch this year.
