Amazfit India has already confirmed that it will launch the entire GT 2 series of Smartwatch in the country. Accordingly, it announced the GTR 2 starting at ₹12,999($177) a few days back. Today, the company has made the sibling GTS 2 official for the same price.

Amazfit GTS 2 Price, Availability

Amazfit GTS 2 will be available on the official website, and Amazon India at launch. The device will accordingly launch on December 21 in the country. However, starting today, users can pre-order the smartwatch on Amazfit Website from Today(December 18). You can take a look at the pricing below:

• Amazfit GTS 2 (Black)- ₹12,999($177).

As mentioned, the pre-order is open only for the Midnight Black variant. However, we can expect the GTS 2 Chinese variant colors like Desert Gold, Urban Gray to debut on December 21(Monday).

That said, the Amazfit website also says deliveries will begin from December 21 and a strap worth ₹1,799($24.47) will be free for those who pre-order the device. Still, the Amazon India webpage just shows a ‘notify me’ button.

Amazfit GTS 2 Specifications and Features

From, the above, we can see that Huami has priced the GTS 2 exactly as the GTR 2. However, we all know that GT’S’ has a square-shaped display whereas GT’R’ watches have a round dial. Additionally, they have has some differences in display, battery but share a lot of similarities as well.

The Amazfit GTS 2 measures 42.8×35.6×9.7mm and weighs 24.7g without the strap. As mentioned above there is a square-display up front, a single crown on the right, and straps made of silicone. Amazfit says the body is made of Aluminum alloy with a 3D curved bezel-less design but the bottom shell is plastic.

Besides, there is a 1.65-inch AMOLED square-display with a resolution of 348×442 pixels. It also has a peak brightness of 450 nits and a 341 PPI. This is a bit bigger than the GTR 2  and also has a similar ODLC coating for scratch resistance. Similarly, the GTS 2 has a smaller 246mAh battery than GTR 2(471mAh) and it should last for 7-days(Typical use) on a single charge via magnetic stand.

For connectivity, we have Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 2.4GHz, GPS, GLONASS. Other features like self-developed BioTracker, 2 PPG with blood oxygen monitoring, 24-hr heart rate monitoring, 12 sport modes, PAI health assessment, similar to GTR 2.

Huami is trying to expand its reach and its latest announcement may help it increase its share of the wearable market by bringing its Amazfit smartwatches to more people in the US.

An official statement released by Huami today says they have partnered with retail giant, Walmart, to offer its Amazfit line of smartwatches across its stores in America. Prior to the announcement, Amazfit watches could only be purchased online in the US.

Walmart has about 2780 stores across the United States and this should greatly help Huami sell more watches as folks can simply walk into a Walmart store near them and purchase any watch of their choice. The press statement says Walmart will offer just two watches for now – the Amazfit GTS and the Amazfit Bip S.

The Amazfit GTS was announced last year and it shares a resemblance to Apple’s own smartwatches but sells for much less. The watch, which has a retina AMOLED display, a heart rate sensor, built-in GPS, and support for tracking up to 12 sports modes, will be available in black and gold at Walmart stores.

The Amazfit Bip S is an improved version of the Amazfit Bip. It was announced in January and boasts features such as support for 10 sports modes including elliptical, yoga, and swimming (stroke rate, stroke times, and SWOLF Index). It also has a heart rate monitor, a GPS chip, sleep tracking, and a battery life that lasts up to 40 days.

There is no info on when other products will be available but we expect Huami will announce when it happens.

The post Huami announces Walmart stores will now sell Amazfit smartwatches appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier this week, Amazfit had announced that a couple of its smartwatches will be debuting at Walmart stores in the US. These smartwatches combine sports functionality and health related features and will be available through up to 2,870 locations across North America.

According to Mike Yeung, Huami chief operating officer, “Offering our assortment at Walmart is the perfect opportunity to expand our market share in North America and reach a large number of consumers who want advanced intelligence, quality craftsmanship, and great value. Amazfit smartwatches lead the industry in battery life, proprietary biometric sensors, and advanced algorithms. These competitively priced smartwatches are ideally suited to Walmart shoppers and we expect them to fly off the shelf.”

While the brand and its wearables had been available in the US, it is only now finally being sold through a national retailer, as per a BusinessWire report. The move from Amazfit arrives to expand its market in the region with its line of smartwatches that have dedicated features related to both sports/activities and health management. In other words, it would be a worthwhile offering for fitness band users and health conscious consumers as well. This would also be further supported by the reasonable pricing at which the company offers its products.

Walmart will now be debuting two Amazfit smartwatches, which includes the Amazfit Bip S and GTS. The former will be available in Onyx Black and Warm Pink while the latter will be available in either Gold or Black variants. The lightweight Bip S will be available across 2,870 Walmart stores in the US while the stylish GTS will be available in 2,553 Walmart stores. The company will continue to collaborate with national and regional chains across the nation to expand its brand and its online presence in the market as well.

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

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.

The post The Amazfit GTR and Amazfit GTS can now track daytime naps appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

With the GPS and GLONASS enabled, the battery on the Amazfit GTS lasts up to 25 hours.

The smartwatch is rated to withstand pressure up to 5 ATM, meaning that the device can survive up to a depth of 50 meters. It supports multiple swimming scenarios and is designed to recognize different swimming positions automatically. The GTS supports 12 mainstream exercise modes including outdoor running, treadmill, walking, outdoor and indoor cycling, open water and pool swimming, climbing, trail running, elliptical trainer, skiing and general workout.

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. 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 47mm daily use mode lasts for 24 days, the basic watch mode is 74 days, and the GPS continues to work for more than 22 hours. The watch comes with three material variants adorned with three high-grade metals: titanium, stainless steel and aluminium. The titanium variant just went on sale in China so we doubt if it will be available immediately in China.

As for the price, the Huami Amazfit GTR 47mm smartwatch is priced at Rs. 10,999 ($154), which is for the aluminium and stainless steel models. 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.

Just a little over a week after announcing the Amazfit GTS and Amazfit Sports Watch 3 in its home country of China, Huami as unveiled both watches in Germany at the ongoing IFA 2019 trade show. This might as well be the fastest international launch for any Amazfit product.

Amazfit GTS

The Amazfit GTS is priced at €130 and packs a number of interesting features. It has a 1.65-inch rectangular Super Retina-grade AMOLED display with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

The GTS uses 20mm quick release silicone straps and comes in six different colors. It works with Android and iOS devices. Huami hasn’t announced the UK and US pricing yet.

Amazfit Stratos 3

When the Amazfit Sports Watch 3 launched, we told you it would launch globally as the Stratos 3, and we were right.

The Stratos 3 is designed for professionals and enthusiasts. It has a circular dial – a 1.34” JDI Full-Moon reflective low-power display covered with Gorilla Glass 3. There are two operating systems on the watch as well as two chips – one for each OS. It also has four buttons on the right side of the frame.

The post Huami’s Amazfit GTS and Amazfit Stratos 3 get global launch at IFA appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huami unveiled the Amazfit GTS a couple of days back with a design that looks like the Apple Watch series. The Amazfit GTS seems to be a successor to the Amazfit Bip, the only Huami smartwatch with which it shares the rectangular-shaped design. We expect the device to be a hot-selling model especially due to the awesome design and studded specs lineup. The smartwatch costs just ¥899 ($125), that’s like a fraction of what you’ll pay for an Apple Watch. We must add that it comes with lesser features, though, but you get NFC o this one. Here’s a photo tour of the Amazfit GTS showing the smartwatch in all its glory.

The Amazfit GTS packs a 1.65-inch Super Retina-grade AMOLED screen with a resolution of 348 x 442 pixels and 341ppi. The display is covered with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3 curved tempered glass. The watch is encased in a steel frame.

The watch uses a 20mm quick release silicone strap and is available in six different colors; pink, blue, meteorite black, beige, and red. You can read more about the watch from our launch article. Check out more pictures of the smartwatch from below.

Update: Amazfit Sports Watch 3 Star Wars Limited Edition added.

Huami said it was going to launch more than 10 smartwatches this year and it sure is ready to keep that promise. It already announced the Amazfit Bip Lite, the Amazfit Verge Lite, the Amazfit GTR, the Amazfit Verge 2, and the Amazfit Health Watch. Today, it has taken the wraps off the Amazfit GTS, the Amazfit Sports Watch 3, and the Amazfit X which is a concept watch with a flexible display.

Amazfit GTS

The Amazfit GTS can be termed the true successor to the Amazfit Bip. It does give off some serious Apple Watch vibes but costs significantly less than Apple’s latest offering, which isn’t surprising since the GTS comes with fewer features.

The Amazfit GTS is gorgeous with its minimalist look. With a price tag that roughly converts to $125, you get a 1.65-inch Super Retina-grade AMOLED screen (348 x 442) with a 341ppi, covered with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3 curved tempered glass, and embedded in a steel frame. Huami says it settled for a rectangular dial as it can fit more information than a circular dial with the same screen size. There are up to 100 different watch faces to choose from; forty will be available out of the box with more to follow later. The watch uses a 20mm quick release silicone strap.

The watch can track a total of 12 main sports including cycling, running (indoor, treadmill), swimming, hiking, skiing, and weightlifting. It has support for GPS+GLONASS. The Amazfit GTS also has a BioTracker PPG optical heart rate sensor 24-hour heart rate monitoring. Huami says an OTA update in November 2019 will bring arrhythmia screening.

The watch connects via Bluetooth 5.0. It also has NFC with support for subways and bus stations in 255 cities in China. There is a 220mAh battery that will last up to 14 days for regular usage (notifications, NFC, heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, running 3 times a week with GPS on for 30 minutes for each exercise). In basic watch mode (Bluetooth, heart rate monitoring and other functions turned off) it will last up to 46 days on a single charge. For a continuous workout with GPS turned on permanently, it will last 25 hours. The watch takes 2 hours to charge. It is waterproof up to 50 meters so it is suitable for swimming, showering, snorkeling, and will survive in the rain. However, it won’t survive deep water swimming, scuba diving, and high-speed water sports.

The Amazfit GTS comes in six different colors. There is pink, blue, meteorite black, beige, and red. The watch has a price tag of ¥899 and is already available for pre-order on Tmall, it will go on sale on September 24. Unfortunately, only the Meteorite Black variant is available.

Amazfit Sports Watch 3

The Amazfit Sports Watch 3 (should launch globally as the Amazfit Stratos 3) has the name says is for sports enthusiasts and professional athletes. The Sports Watch 3 comes in two versions – a Standard Edition and an Elite Edition.

The watch rocks a 1.34-inch JDI Full-Moon reflective low-power color display. The display is said to be specially designed for outdoor use and Huami says the stronger the light, the clearer the display. The standard edition is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, has a stainless steel bezel and uses quick-release silicone straps while the Elite Edition is covered with AF+AR coated sapphire glass, has a titanium bezel, and uses quick-release fluoro-rubber straps. There are four buttons on both versions of the watch.

The Amazfit Sports Watch 3 has dual processors and dual operating systems.
