Review written on:29/07/22 Updated last on: 27/03/23 --Purchased this watch at first sale price of 6999. Writing this review after 2 days of use.The watch is absolutely premium. The smartwatch is very light and comfortable as mentioned 19gms only. The watch strap is very soft,made of premium quality silicon and has interpolation system hence gives a secure fit but the buckle is made of plastic instead of metal. --It has 2.5d curved and completely flat display, half metal body and button which gives it a premium look. The display is anti fingerprint and is scratch resistant.The watch will be suitable only on small and moderate sizes of wrists otherwise would look of small size. --The watch has squarish 1.65 inch Amoled display with Aod support and 309ppi so all texts are really crisp and readable.The bezels are equal on all sides and completely invisible with black watchface. Also you can set your own watchface under the settings of customisable background in watchface store in zepp app. --It comes with new Zepp OS 1.0 which is well optimised and the animations and details dont make it a boring fitness watch.The watch has ambient light sensor which responds well and screen is visible even in harsh sunlight. It has 5 satellites connection which locks position outdoors within few seconds.The watch has a rotor motor which gives good haptic feedback. It also has built in alexa which can answer simple questions via text and set alarms, reminders,timers. --The watch has 50 watchfaces only which are extremely less at this price point and only 7-8 of them look good. Watchfaces synchronize within 10seconds. --There is 24/7 heart rate,blood oxygen and stress monitoring. The watch gives really accurate measurements and is quite dependable for health readings,this is probably due to the latest biotracker-ppg 3.0 sensor which is being used in this watch. (Note:Sp02 works only when you wear the watch 2cm upwards from the wrist). It also has sleep breathing quality measurement. The sleep data too is very accurate and gives data for light sleep, deep sleep, REM,awake time in graph and detailed format. --The watch has 120+ sports modes, gives very detailed health data,graphs, auto detects sports modes and has virtual pacer, cadence assistant,everything you would ever need for.You will be able to view all the data in watch itself(workout map,graphs,sleep data,settings). It also has training efficiency which tells you training load, vo2 max and recovery time. --The best part are the installable apps from the appstore in zepp app like maps(not google maps) calculator(not scientific calculator), bmi, watch storage space, sos flashlight and water time reminder and many more. It has all the basic features like the alarm,calendar(syncs to phone's calender),to-dos,sun and moon,compass,music controller,world clock,stopwatch,countdown,breathe,find my phone,pomodoro timer,camera remote. It comes with new smart alarm feature which wakes you up during light sleep. It has reply to call notifications but misses out on the reply to social media messages. --It has 200mb of storage space of which 100mb is used by system itself and other 100mb is free for installing apps and watchfaces(no music storage available). For incoming messages it has support for chosen emojis only not all of them, also it does not have support for hindi text messages. It also has password lock from 0-9 for privacy. It will have new features over time and new apps to install in app store which is good. --Finally the watch charges in 2hrs and drops 5% battery everyday on normal usage, about 8% with aod on, 13% on moderate usage and 20% on heavy usage of gps,aod on,24/7 health tracking and other apps usage(additional 3% for tracking sleep data). [ ] PROS: --Feature packed smartwatch --Stylish and Elegant design --4 colour straps available --Complete health tracking --Bio ppg 3.0 sensor for accurate measurements --Built in gps with 5 sattelite connections --120+ sports modes --Auto detects sports modes --Interactive and colourful Zepp OS 1.0 --Amoled with Aod --Alexa --Auto brightness --Training efficiency --5 ATM waterproof --Good battery life --Installable apps --New Smart alarm feature --Interpolation system --Password privacy --Quick reply to call notifications --Lot of third party straps available(eg.leather strap) --No need to use smartphone for viewing health and activity data, can be viewed from watch itself. [ ] CONS: --Could be at a lesser price of 6999(Original price-7999) --Very Less watchfaces --Screen freezes sometimes on heavy usage --Slight lag in UI --Very short charging cable length about 30cm --No barometric sensor --No music storage --Plastic buckle --Missing breath per minute feature available in more premium amazfit watches IMPROVEMENTS: --Less Emoji support --No quick reply to social media messages(eg. WhatsApp) FINAL DECISION: If you are looking for premium fitness watch with all health sensors ,accuracy, elegant and formal looking watch, amazing user interface with possible future software upgrades and also if you are not a bluetooth calling person then buy the Gts 4 Mini during the sale with some 10% discount with cards offer. Don't change your decision and go looking for other useless bluetooth calling, in built games watches in this price segment (Fireb****, Noi**). This smartwatch is really good, you won't regret purchasing this one. Experience after 1 Year: Working Great. Everything is working including GPS, health tracking and other features mentioned in review. Update: Do not buy GTR Mini, it's not worth the price tag of 10,999/-. Gts 4 Mini is much better than the GTR Mini. Give Like 👍 if this helps.

Good things: 1) Excellent and accurate step tracker for my routine workouts (outdoor, walking/running, badminton, cricket, tennis). Yet to try this in swimming though. 2) Quality of belt or strap is good, no discomfort wearing for long hours or when there is sweating. 3) Battery life holds up well - I have phone notifications disabled, getting 10+days on a full charge. 4) Screen quality and touch response overall is quite good. The only issue I face is visibility in bright sunlight is a letdown. A couple of shortcomings: 1) Day-time visibility -> Visibility in bright sunlight is a let-down. Could have been better. 2) GPS connection prior to starting an outdoor workout (running/sports) often takes 15-30 seconds. So overall a good buy from my side, rating it a 4*!

It is very good quality smart watch. It has built in GPS which helps in tracking firness activity like running etc. It has outstanding battery life( more than 15 days). No other budget friendly smartwatch provides GPS. Do not think twice before purchasing. Worth every penny you spend.

Third class product, purchased in May24 for around 10k, in few months it stopped sensing workouts, in April 25 the display gone blank, received back in may25 from the service centre after repairs, now in july25, it has stopped charging, have replaced charging cable, cleaned the ports but it's not working, now service centre is asking for charges as it's out of warranty. Think twice before buying this product, I also have boult smart watch bought three years back for less than 2k and it's working perfectly fine despite regularly swimming with this watch. Highly disappointed with this product

Was this the smart watch one was waiting for, at this price point, over the last 2 years, when the smart watch market started to boom in India? Probably yes... Having tried a number of watches over the last 2 years, I was convinced, apart from Apple, Samsung and Garmin( although a different segment) , none of the others had a clue about what a specific group of target audience needed. They were all launching watches left, right and center with very little commitment to fitness. They were good looking watches, and they lured the masses. For me and maybe a few more, what is of prime importance in a smart watch? Here it is. 1. Fitness accuracy and measurements of vitals 2 Battery 3 App, reports, integration with 3rd party fitness apps 4 Display 5 watch faces The rest of the stuff doesn't really matter if these bases are covered. Unfortunately people are busy talking about looks and straps and missing out on the crucial features. One of the many watches I bought as a fitness enthusiastic guy was Titan traveler. Was good enough until a software update and it crashed. It still doesnt open. And i paid a bomb for it. They say they're working on it. Now this watch is amazing. Firstly, small display and very light and comfortable. Brilliant, reports, integration with major fitness apps, a zepp coach that designs programs based in your preference, super accurate, crisp AMOLED display , great battery life. I have all parameters turned on and it would run for a week, easily. Some great apps could be installed from the market, very very good watch faces, great customization. Amazfit knows the business. I used a amazfit Bip 5 before this and was a very good watch. Has a calendar that syns with google, readiness for training analysis. A pocket dynamo. Sunrise sunset app along with detailed weather for travellers. So I could go on and on. Ah yes, you can store music. Plenty of storage for music, apps and watch faces. There is a utility called watch storage on the store you can download. Shows you space available for each category. And the sound is crystal clear. Calls and music. If you have a budget, just go for it blindly. Trust me

Excellent product and real value for money
