Anyone tested GTS/GTR 2nd Version

[iyengar]

A lot of reviews but all seems to be biased favoring buy. None of them are speaking about any issues or problems. Is the watch that really good?

2 weeks i have GTR2.Battery 14 days, normal use. Updated, playing music from the watch, speaking with the watch and Swimming. Really good stuff for a 170 usd. Change strap for metal bracelet. Looks amazing!

How do you transfer mp3 files to the watch. Mine keeps failing

Used since 2 days and steps counter seem totally wrong in daily tracking. Before go to sleep my Fitbit One has 1300 steps and GTR2 310 steps. Fitbit One is always right steps count because it is in the pocket and count only when the leg move. In exercice mode GTR2 has right steps. It is like GTR2 start to count steps anly after 40 (or more) continuous steps
At this time Fitbit One 6136 steps vs GTR2 3302 steps, totally wrong and unusable

GTR Watchfaces from "Notify for Amazfit" do not load, Fail each time.

the steps counting is better, if you do perform a reset on the GTR2/GTS2.. (after the last fw update)

watchfaces from 1st generation do not work on GTS2/GTR2 !!!

and there are no custom watchfaces yet, seems to be the apps for modding are still missing.

battery life of my GTS2 is about 9-10 days ... my GTS1 got 19-24 days

Tried factory reset, nothing changed. After 40min in my kitchen, my Fitbit One count 306 steps (and with the One it count only when the leg move) and the GTR2 counted 62 steps. So still totally unusable as daily tracker.

Really incredible that Amazfit can stay with a new (recent) watch wich can not do the basic with counting right steps ???? I can use my GTR Lite and the steps are correct, no much difference with my Fitbit One.

 

[deepblue2000]

yeah it is a bit annoying, the GTS1 was so much better.

I dont know what they did @amazfit.... it seems to be the GTR2 / GTS2 are beta
devices for maybe the mini-Version that will be released soon

The algorithm for steps counting is trying to measure actual walking steps not just random movements which is why it's best checked in a walking activity. I got my GTR 2 a couple of weeks ago and so far I'm happy with the step counter.

That's weird, maybe you have a faulty one. I have GTR 2 and my wife GTS 2 and step counting is good on both (around 1200 steps per kilometer during activity) and even around the house it accumulates as expected. Try to feedback to Huami in Zepp app and see what they say.

Great Watch but very limited watchfaces. GTR watch faces do not work.

Firmware update for GTR2 yesterday
In change log :
- setup for wrist watch
- optimize accuracy of steps counting

at this time :
- Fitbit One : 3767 steps
- GTR2 : 3897

so no faulty unit, just faulty Amazfit developers

Well I have a gts 2 and I've been a bit disappointed with it so far. No Alexa connection (to follow so amazfit have told me) and the on board voice control is only part working.
I can start playing a song via voice command but cannot then say play next song or pause playing.
Contacted amazfit about the problem and they said oh yeah we know about that and we're working on it!!
Ever get the feeling that you bought something a bit too soon

Hi all,

I'm having problems with the heart rate monitor, while I'm resting it's more or les accurate, but when I'm doing some exercise it's useless, having a differences somtimes up to 50 bpm lower than the real heart rate, I tried a factory reset but is still the same.

Does any of you have a similar problem? I have just sent a feedback on the app, let's see

It's a great watch but I'm thinking on returning it...

 

[AMoosa]

Does anybody get voice reminders when doing a run for example? There's a setting during the run for voice volume, and I have it set to maximum, but there's no voice to say 1 mile and the time etc. Is my unit faulty? Music works OK.

 

[dukynko]

Maybe it works only with earphones, try it.

The watch has speakers so it shouldn't be necessary to have headphones connected. Music plays nicely through the watch speaker.
