Introduction

The Amazfit GTS 4, in its stylish Rosebud Pink, promises a lot: accurate GPS tracking, Alexa integration, a vibrant AMOLED display, and a long-lasting battery. After weeks of rigorous testing, incorporating various activities and daily use, I’m ready to share my comprehensive review of this attractive smartwatch. This review focuses on the GTS 4 model, which boasts industry-first Dual-band Circularly-polarized GPS Antenna technology. Let’s dive in!

Features

The GTS 4 is packed with features. The 1.75-inch AMOLED display is crisp and bright, even under direct sunlight. Navigation is intuitive, and the customizable watch faces offer a wide range of personalization options. The inclusion of Alexa is a welcome addition, allowing for quick voice commands and hands-free operation. The dual-band GPS proved remarkably accurate during my runs and cycling sessions, providing detailed tracking data. The heart rate and SpO2 monitoring functionalities are also reliable and consistently accurate throughout the testing period. The built-in music player allows for offline listening further enhancing this device’s utility, although the limited storage space might require selective song choices.

The range of sports modes, exceeding 150, caters to a variety of fitness enthusiasts. From the standard running and cycling to more niche activities, the GTS 4 covers it all. The smart trajectory correction feature, while not perfect, proved beneficial during runs in complex environments. The ability to import route files and have real-time navigation is a compelling feature for serious runners or hikers.

Performance

In terms of performance, the GTS 4 exceeded my expectations. The dual-band GPS consistently provided accurate location data, even in areas with dense foliage or tall buildings – a significant improvement compared to single-band GPS in my testing of older models. The heart rate and SpO2 sensors were accurate and responsive. Battery life generally lived up to the advertised 8 days, although heavy use with GPS tracking enabled frequently could reduce that time. The responsiveness of the touchscreen and the overall performance of the watch were smooth and reliable throughout my testing period. Bluetooth calls worked flawlessly, with clear audio on both ends, although a bit muffled sometimes in noisy environments. Finally, the integration with my iPhone was seamless and presented no operational challenges.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Accurate dual-band GPS, vibrant AMOLED display, long battery life, Alexa integration, wide range of sports modes, comfortable to wear, good Bluetooth call quality.
• Cons: Limited music storage, occasional slight inaccuracy in GPS tracking in extremely challenging conditions, some menu navigation could be more intuitive.

Final Verdict

The Amazfit GTS 4 is a compelling smartwatch offering an excellent balance of features, performance, and style. The dual-band GPS, bright display, and Alexa integration set it apart. While there’s room for minor improvements, particularly in the music storage capacity and specific GPS edge-case situations, these are not significant enough to detract greatly from the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for a feature-rich, accurate, and stylish smartwatch that won’t break the bank, the Amazfit GTS 4 is a strong contender. I highly recommend it.
