Introduction

The Amazfit GTS 3 white, model number GTS 3 white, arrived on my desk promising a sleek design and robust fitness tracking capabilities. Having spent several weeks wearing it during my daily workouts and everyday life, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This smartwatch aims to bridge the gap between style and functionality, and I’ll delve into whether it succeeds.

Features

The Amazfit GTS 3 white boasts a stunning 1.75-inch Ultra HD AMOLED display, making it incredibly easy to read even in bright sunlight. The always-on display option is a welcome addition, though it does impact battery life. Navigation is intuitive, and the responsiveness of the touchscreen is excellent – even with sweaty fingers (a crucial detail for a fitness-focused smartwatch!). The watch effortlessly pairs with my Android phone via the Zepp app, providing seamless synchronization of data.

One of the key selling points is its advanced fitness tracking capabilities. The GTS 3 white intelligently recognizes 8 different sports (Outdoor Running, Treadmill, Walking, Indoor Walking, Outdoor Cycling, Pool Swimming, Rowing Machine, and Elliptical), automatically starting the recording process. Beyond this, the built-in sensors provide detailed data including VO2 Max, recovery time, training load, and training effect – metrics usually found in more expensive fitness trackers. This level of detail is impressive and beneficial for serious athletes looking to optimize their training regimes.

Performance

In terms of performance, the GTS 3 white largely exceeded my expectations. The GPS accuracy was consistently reliable during my runs, providing accurate distance and pace data. Heart rate monitoring was also very accurate when compared to a chest strap monitor, though occasional minor discrepancies were observed. Battery life was surprisingly good, easily lasting a week on a single charge with moderate usage including daily workouts and notifications. Heavy use, involving constant GPS tracking, will reduce battery life, but it still managed to last a respectable 48 hours.

The sleep tracking function is detailed, providing insights into different sleep stages (light, deep, REM) and overall sleep quality. The watch’s notification system is also efficient, providing timely alerts without being intrusive. The watch face customization options are abundant, allowing for personalization to match individual preferences.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Stunning AMOLED display, accurate GPS and heart rate tracking, excellent battery life, advanced fitness metrics (VO2 Max, etc.), comfortable to wear, intuitive interface.
• Cons: Occasional minor inaccuracies in heart rate monitoring, some features require the Zepp app (which can be slightly clunky at times).

Final Verdict

The Amazfit GTS 3 white (GTS 3 white) offers an exceptional combination of style, functionality, and performance at a competitive price point. While there are minor areas for improvement (mainly in the app experience), the overall user experience is positive. The wealth of fitness data provided is invaluable for those who are serious about tracking their activity and progress. I would wholeheartedly recommend this smartwatch to anyone looking for a versatile and stylish fitness companion.
