Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition Smart Watch for Men Women, Wireless Charging,14-Day Battery Life, Alexa Built-in, Dual-Band GPS & Route Navigation, Strength Exercise Recognition, Answer/Make Phone Calls

Before buying this Amazfit GTR 4 Limited Edition, I was using a Fitbit Versa 3 and I simply adored the fitness reporting capability because it helped me to control various aspects of my high blood pressure more closely. The only real reason that I stopped using the Fitbit is because the Versa 3's GPS would stop in areas of weaker reception to the point that I became so frustrated that I overcompensated by buying this particular Amazfit watch because of its beefed-up capabilities in that arena. So, what I am left with is a very nice watch with great GPS mapping capability an many nice features, but, a very weak controller application in Zepp 2.0. The folks at Zepp have sidestepped offering useful exercise statistical reporting in favor of calming music while you sleep in the form of Zepp Aura, a feature that I have absolutely no use for. In my opinion, the folks at Zepp should beef up the part of their app that offers its users the ability to recall ALL useful exercise statistics over longer periods of time instead of just the few that THEY think are important. Is the Amazfit series of watches being manufactured and targeted to aromatherapy junkies and people who find sleep music more important than exercise and exercise tracking stats? If so, I would love to know so I can avoid what otherwise is a nice watch and go back to Fitbit who has a great free app for its watches. The Amazfit watch is too nice to be stuck with an app like Zepp!UPDATE: I have been using my watch for several months now and I continue to be impressed by its quality and performance, particularly the strength of its GPS antennas. I upgraded from a FitBit Versa 3 primarily because it dropped the GPS feed in weaker areas thus also dropping the balance of any workout that lost its connection.I gave Zepp OS some negative input in my original review, but, I would like to amend those words with some positive input about Zepp's performance since I bought this watch. Apparently they have been busy with some updates that have proven to be helpful and welcome for people who value workout stats and other functional enhancements via Zepp OS app promotions. I am delighted to see that they appear to be committed to making the AmazFit user experience a good one. If you are looking for an excellent fitness watch don't be shy about checking out the AmazFit series of excellent watches.

I'm coming from the GTR 3 Pro Limited Edition. I just purchased it last month and was disappointed to see that the sequel was released so soon, but that was because I loved the GTR 3 Pro Limited Edition's design language, battery life, and OS so much that I knew I would have to grab one! My main gripes with the GTR 3 Pro were display refresh rate usually being locked to 30hz, OS slowdowns when more than 3 notifications popped up, and Alexa being a bit muffled. Thankfully all of that has been fixed in this iteration. The device is smooth as butter and runs at a constant 50 to 60 hz! Still waiting on the update for Alexa support. There was an OTA update when I set the watch out but I didn't come with Alexa so I'm assuming within a couple of weeks we should have it. Hopefully Alexa's voice is clear and I'll have zero complaints with this watch! The design is an evolution of last year's model, with more masculine and streamlined design as opposed to last year's flat design. I'll include an image of the two! The watch faces are now interactive which is a nice feature to see, for instance if a watchface has the current weather or your heart rate on it, you can tap on the said portion of the watchface to receive detailed information on that particular metric, weather, etc. This was a feature on very few watchfaces for the GTR 3 so it's nice to see it be available on nearly all watchfaces now on this model, I also appreciate the inclusion of Wi-Fi for updating from the watch as well as water ejection for when you go for swims or showers. Battery life has also been improved by a couple of days which is great. The GTR 3 Pro lasted me 4 days with always on display and tilt to wake always on. All the new watch faces are very nice and appealing to look at as well which is great to see because one of my complaints from last year's model was that some of the watch faces made the watch look a little cheap but these new ones are all elegant! The membership card feature is excellent as well, as you can put your gym membership onto your watch so you don't need to bring your card or scan your phone! My only critique is for the Zepp OS. I would like to see more playful animations when interacting with the watch and would like the always on display to fade transition into the main watchface rather than the current cut transition. Other than that I love the OS! Great job to Amazfit! I'm glad they're listening to the community and improving their products tenfold every year! I'm excited to try the GTR 5 Limited Edition at the start of next year! You've got another yearly customer on your hands!
