![]() But all of those expectations are neutralized when we look at the price of the smartwatch. Some users might even argue about calling it a smartwatch because it lacks support for third-party apps. Furthermore, while the feature is designed to facilitate commands starting with "Open.," you will need to close the app manually and return to the home screen using the Menu/Home button for the watch to acknowledge your next command.Įven despite so many improvements and new features, the Amazfit GTR 2 may not be the perfect smartwatch. During my usage, voice commands are only understood by the watch when you are in a quiet environment, and this means that it will rarely work when you are outside or inside a noisy gym. While the feature sounds really cool and useful in theory, it may not perform exactly how it is marketed. Huami says Alexa powers these voice commands, but instead of saying "Alexa" to initiate voice commands, you can twist your wrist once and then say commands like "Open Weather," "What is my heart rate?" or "start tracking my workout," etc. Lastly, in addition to listening to music and calling, the Amazfit GTR 2 also supports voice commands. Keep in mind that you cannot dial numbers or call contacts from the smartwatch itself. In my usage, I received calls when the distance between the phone and the smartwatch was less than 2m (~6.5ft), and in case the distance increased, there was a great chance of dropping the call. The feature does allow you to pick up calls directly from the smartwatch without reaching out for the phone, but you must ensure that the phone is not too far. You can enable the Zepp app option and then connect the smartwatch as a Bluetooth audio accessory. The speakers on the Amazfit GTR can also be used for receiving calls. So, if users prefer to carry their smartphones for music - or any other reason, they can also use the smartwatch to control music playback on the connected smartphone. Although Huami does not specify the Bluetooth audio codecs supported by the Amazfit GTR 2, the audio quality suggests that it only supports SBC connections and not AAC, which might be disappointing for audiophiles. For this, you don't even need to rely on your smartphone and can conveniently leave it behind when you hit the road to fitness. The music can be played via inbuilt speakers or any other audio device connected to the watch directly using Bluetooth. With the music you store on the watch, you can add tracks to your favorites or create playlists. The smartwatch comes with 3GB storage dedicatedly for music. Onboard music, as I mentioned above, is another vital feature that the Amazfit GTR 2 supports. However, unlike the Xiaomi Mi Band 5, the stress feature is not followed by a guided breathing exercise feature on the Amazfit GTR 2. Medium stress might be a reason to worry, and high stress can indicate a risk of high blood pressure or any cardiac diseases. The feature description on the app also notes that some amount of stress or nervousness is actually healthy for your performance and mental stimulation, and thus, they have used the word "normal" here. Your stress levels are indicated by numeric values between 0 and 100 with values 0-39 for relaxed, 40-59 for normal, 60-79 for medium, and 80-100 for high stress. These include the new Stress management feature that detects any unusual cardiac activity without any movement. ![]() Other than the new and improved user interface, the Amazfit GTR 2 also receives a few features that weren't available in the previous model. Theatre mode - which keeps the display brightness at the minimum and silences notifications.Awake mode - which keeps the display on for 20 minutes after being activated, and.Flashlight mode, in which the screen lights up at full brightness with a white background to emulate a flashlight.Further, you cannot reply to the notifications directly from the smartwatch.Īdditionally, you can scroll down on display to launch the home screen to launch the quick action toggles for: You cannot clear notifications on the watch, and they will remain in the Notifications pane until you clear them from the smartphone. ![]() Each of these notifications appears as cards themselves, and you can expand each of them from the list by tapping on them. You can scroll up to open notifications from the home screen and select the apps that can send you notifications from the Amazfit (now called Zepp) companion app. ![]()
