AMAZFIT GTR 42mm Smart Watch 12 Days Battery Life 5ATM Waterproof Global Version

This watch is great and battery life is just amazing. Had the watch just a couple of days now, but it's performed perfectly. Watch shows 3% of battery used in the first 24 hours after playing with it quite a bit on the first day. Interface is responsive and lag-free, screen is very good, it's also surprisingly light compared to my other smart watches, even though the screen is a bit bigger. Bluetooth connection seems solid and notifications come through immediately. I was able to easily swap the band from my old watch. There are a few nice watch faces I like, hopefully more will come. No always on display is the only negative, but I guess it would drain the battery too much. Assuming battery life really is as good as it appears then I finally found my perfect smart watch at the 3rd attempt.

Been waiting for this for a while now.
Pre-ordered it in late July, got it on 19 August. Not bad for a hit like this.

The watch looks gorgeous. Got the aluminum alloy version and I must say it is very nice.
The strap looks nice, not a fan of the brown color, but it is easy changeable.

The battery looks very promising: got it with 65%, set it up(pair, update etc.), handled it for a while, trying different watch faces, bluetooth on with
notifications, haven't tried the GPS so far, heart rate set at 1 minute. 4 days later I'm on 54%.

Greatly recommend it!

In the basic watch mode, for example, with Bluetooth, heart rate monitoring and other functions disabled, Amazfit GTR 47mm can last 74 days even if the screen is turned on 100 times. In the sports mode, "Marathon" with GPS enabled, Amazfit GTR 47mm provides users with 40 hours of long-lasting battery life.

When the Amazfit Pace released i wanted to buy one, but i didn't. When Stratos released, that was the same thing, but now, when GTR released, i know i must buy it.
The price was so good at the Gearbest, much better than Hungarian price.
I paid for it when it was on pre-sale, 10.08.2019 and the postman bring me the watch today(26.08.2019...to Hungary)
The manufacturer say, its a sport/smartwatch, with GPS+GLONASS, long battery life and heart rate measure.
My choice's first reason is the long battery life, than the sport functions with GPS and after that the heart rate measure.
Today when i get the watch i tested some function of the GTR.
The watch setting up was easy(if you can't pair with your phone, when it want read the watch's QR code and the watch don't show QR code, press on the ,, No QR on the watch...'' description and they will paired).
I set up the watch face what i want, that test timer, count down, flash light, screen lighting, etc. So some basic and simple functions, the i went out the house and calibrate gps. When the calibration done(about half minute), i went for a short ride with bike.
The ride datas are looks like awesome on the watch. Under the ride the watch draw my route, measured my heart rate, speed, time, altitude, etc. ,and the datas shown in diagrams when ride ends.
So its an awesome watch.
With the GPS positioning was a little '' problem''. When it shows my position in coordinates, it shows a city's coordinates what is 15km from my village, BUT the ride's tracking-route was good. So i dont know why the watch show other coordinates(and the weather location cant find my village... Ok its a very small hungarian village, i think its the reason) and the ride tracking is good.
But the watch still is awesome. Good quality in materials and size and usage.
I make a short video about the watch's interface.
I bought another watch, a 42mm white GTR for my girlfriend 10.08.2019...but it isn't in stock, so i and my girlfriend must wait for that.
The Gearbest Costumer Service is so helpful, and they ask my question in 1-2 hours. So guys ask them if you've got questions or waiting for a product like me.
Thanks Gearbest Team.

Cons:
- My order was made during pre-sales, when several websites, including Gearbest Blog posts and even Huami pages (apart from all the tech sites that share the usual companies press releases without testing the products beforehand) said that this device did have NFC support, well... it depends, until today the Chinese version firmware does have NFC BUT the international firmware does NOT have it enabled. That, for me, is a major drawback. I do expect Xiaomi/Huami does upgrade the firmware in the near future to allow the support of NFC and allow other apps to interact with the device NFC for the non-Chinese firmware. I have made a complaint about that and requested Huami to please enable NFC on all Amazfit GTR firmwares -> support@amazfit.com
- sleep detection is not that accurate, even more erratic if you take a power nap or a longer nap or change your sleep pattern if you have a shift work.
- If you want to use it with Google Fit the recommended app (Huami) does not allows that (via Strava app there are some data shared with Google Fit). It does however work with Mi Fit app and that has direct data sharing with Google Fit, but you may experience some conflicting settings or behavior if you leave both Huami and Mi Fit apps running at the same time.
- Watch faces aren't that much.

Pros:
- Battery live.
- Bluetooth signal quality and pairing.
- Notifications work flawless.
- the watch is sleek, well built and it does look like a premium product.
