I wear smartwatches for abilities of seeing time, notifications, and controlling my music. Fitness and step tracking aren’t important to me even though I am active and workout on a daily basis.I’ll start with my pet peeves:1. Always on display rarely works. I have seen it work so I know it does. It just does not work often, which is pretty bad because it’s one of the features that’s featured on the box. I have faith in Amazfit that this will be fixed in a future update.2. Tapping the screen does not wake the screen. This may not be a big deal to many but for some reason it is to me. It’s mildly annoying to have to push the side button to wake the screen. Again I have faith this will be fixed in an update.3. No pre-setup response options to text messages. This IS AVAILABLE for received PHONE CALLS, but not for text messages. Hopefully option will be added in an update.4. You can only have 4 watch face options readily available, worst part is 2 of them you don’t have the option to change or get rid of. Again, hopefully will get fixed.5. Lack of options of watch faces. There are quite a few available in the app, but there’s only one app in the play store that have faces available for the GTS 2 Mini. And that one app takes a bit to master. I really don’t fault the watch or the maker for this issue because the watch is still pretty new and more faces will be available over time.What I love:1. The size and feel. I’ve been intrigued by another watch line made by a fruity company because of its size, but I’m an android guy. Plus I refuse to pay that much mullah for a smartwatch. This is the closest to its size I’ve found that doesn’t come with a crappy app that won’t drain your phone battery. This watch is super light and feels and looks great on my scrawny bony wrist. I also bounce back and forth with my Asus Zenwatch 2 and a Ticwatch C2+. The Zenwatch is HUGE and clunky, but I still wear it because the screen still is a great quality and I like the Wear OS. I wear the Ticwatch at times because it’s round and it’s snappier than the Zenwatch, plus it’s quite a bit smaller.2. Screen. I really didn’t have high expectations for the screen quality. I watched many videos on this watch before I bought it and the videos didn’t do this screen justice. It really is fantastic! One other reviewer mentioned how easily it can scratch and I can see that. However I am not hard on my smartwatches.For the price you really can’t go wrong with the GTS 2 Mini!UPDATE: Downgrading my review one more star because the sleep tracking is pitiful. Occasionally I like to track my sleeping and I decided to try the Mini. It stinks. Couldn’t be much more inaccurate. Either says I’m awake half the night or I went to bed way later than I actually did. I have a Garmin Vivosmart 4 and that tracks sleeping pretty darn accurate. Unlike the Mini.Also, it appears you have to wear the watch at just the right position on your wrist at just the right pressure for the different sensor readings to work. I wear the watch in a casual/normal position on my wrist. The heartbeat monitoring DOES appear to work sometimes because I do get readings at times. So there is that.Bottom line, if you are a hardcore health monitoring nut I would recommend paying more $ for something that’s more accurate. This is one of those items where you pay cheap for health monitoring you get cheap. Thankfully I have this watch for basic uses only and I still like having it.Update: I found out that if you have the always on working to set a schedule it WILL WORK the whole time of that set schedule. I used to have it set to “always on” and it worked part of the time sporadically. It would light up at night while in bed and it bugged me so I set it be always on during a set schedule and now it always works during that schedule.

After going through three Fitbits that have died on me after a year, I decided to try another brand of smart watch. While I would love an Apple Watch, the need to charge every day is not ideal. I don’t want to have to add charging my watch each day to the many other things I have to remember to do. So, I decided to try this Amazfit GTS 2 Mini. It is among the thinnest and lightest of smart watches, and I didn’t want anything bulky on my arm.I’m really happy with it so far! It has taken about four days to really play with it and understand all that it can do. For instance, today, i just discovered that I can create customized watch faces. I thought I was stuck with the pre-made ones in their watch store. This really makes me feel like I can make the watch very personalized to me.I really like the long battery life. I also like how immediately and quickly it syncs. It used to take my old fitbits FOREVER to sync. I love that I can customize the shortcuts to only see the features I want in the order I want. I love that I could customize the app to hide the features I won’t use and put the features I will use in the order in which I want to see them. I really like the countdown app, the cycle tracker, the meditation breathing, the sleep tracking, the heart rate monitor, step tracker, the weather (although it could be more self-explanatory), the ability to control sound and move forward/backwards when playing music, podcasts, or other audio from my iphone.My favorite feature is that I can have a plain digital clock display with the date, day, and steps when the screen is off. That was the feature that sold me on the watch!The screen is also beautiful. The band is quite plain-looking relative to the beauty of the watch, but I’m just ordering a nicer band to put on it.I got all of these many new features in a device that still cost much less than what I was paying for those Fitbits!!I’m giving it four stars only because I had a few glitches that I hope won’t become long-term issues. One issue was that some of the notifications weren’t coming through. However, after restarting and changing a setting on my phone, it has been back to working fine. The other issue was that after a day or two the digital clock was not displaying when the screen was off. I’m not sure if that was a watch system issue or if I have a setting somewhere that was not configured properly.It does have Alexa (to provide text-based responses), but I disabled it. It only seemed to work when you have the Zepp app open on the phone. Doing that would get so cumbersome that it would defeat the purpose of having it readily available on the watch.Overall, I am very happy with this watch!UPDATE: I’m actually bumping to five stars. I am so much happier with this watch than my old Fitbits. The screen is gorgeous. I realized that I wasn’t getting the digital screen-off clock because the watch turns it off when it thinks I’m sleeping. After I wake and get moving, it starts displaying again. Neat! The displays of notifications are still unclear to me, and it can’t get the weather for the exact place where I live (only for the next county over). Still, I’m really happy with this watch given its price and the other options out there on the market. I notice that I’m using the meditation/breathing bubble app quite often!SECOND UPDATE: They need a better instruction manual for this watch. Just when I think I had discovered all that it can do, I come across other features that I didn’t know about. I didn’t realize that all of the watch faces can come with their own screen off watch faces. Also, the watch faces you customize have their own bare bones screen off watch face (so that you can get the color of text you want for the screen off face). Being able to customize the screen off watch face has been awesome! I also had not understood the “lit when wrist lift” setting. I now have that off, which is what I prefer. Realizing these functions saves battery life and helps me customize the watch even more to my style and liking. As for battery life, in the first week, I got a little over four days of battery life on a full charge. However, I was playing with it a lot and I had not realized how to use the “lit when lift wrist” function. Now that I turned off the “lit when lift wrist function,” I’m getting longer battery life. Even happier with my watch!

Very nice watch. Nice features. Wish that the blood oxygen measurement would work automatically. It only works on demand. For Sleep quality it would be helpful if you could take an SPO2 reading automatically through your sleep. Other than that, the watch has good quality. I have had it for about 6 months and it has worked perfectly and still looks new. Seems to be durable. Mine needs to be charged about every 3 to 4 days. Totally satisfied.

I was looking for an inexpensive smart watch and this was a bit above my budget but the reviews sounded good so I went for it. I got much more than I expected. Just a really great smart watch and I like the Zepp app as well. Very happy with my purchase.
