Amazfit GTR4 Full Review - Incredible Value and Feature Rich, for an Affordable Price

[@manishgoyal7677]

I searched for so many videos for GTR 4 but this video didn't show easily! Very well made review.

[@fitgearhunter]

I hate that it didn't easily come up for you on your search! Glad you found it! Appreciate the feedback

[@b.rocket]

You should have way more subscribers. I’m an analytical nut. I love your reviews. They are always full of the right information and to the point.

[@fitgearhunter]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it, and I wish I did have more!

[@tedjenkins1736]

Agreed, Hunter, comparing this to last year's GTR3, which I had high hopes for, Amazfit is obviously working to step up their game. I bought it without knowing that it would connect to an external chest strap, and when I stumbled upon that feature I was really impressed. Looking at the data that it offers, and especially considering its price, I would consider this over the Venu.

[@fitgearhunter]

Hey! So sorry for delayed response - yes, for the training features, but the only challenge is Garmin Eco system is so much more broad, so it's hard to say - but in simple terms - yes!

[@tdwillis1]

This is my 3rd Amazfit GTR watch. The last two (GTR-2 & GTR-3), was returned because the data and accuracy was far from accurate. I've had my GTR-4 since it first shipped and I must say, this one is a keeper. It's a gorgeous watch and the workout data aligns with your review, which was very informative. I guess I'm all in this time because I've even purchased Amazfit scale, which provides detail body composition information. Keep the review coming Thank You.

[@fitgearhunter]

Glad to hear! Felt the same w GTR3. Glad it's been good for you and similar to what I experienced. Thanks for sharing!

[@marklaing9129]

Brought the watch Xmas it’s perfect. Battery usage high but only charging 10 days but it’s still showing 15%. Training widgets brill plus health widgets very accurate too. I could go on and on about how good this watch. My only negative comment would be on text replying as you can’t send personal messages. Maybe done in next updates?For a watch this price I would say yes buy it “Well done Amazfit”👍🇬🇧 oh yes great video

[@fitgearhunter]

So glad you have had such a great experience with it! Thank you so much for sharing

[@giffordod]

I am 1 week in to using my new GTS 4 (the square one). While the battery life is definitely not quite as good as advertised, I am impressed with how well it has tracked the flow of my workouts. It seems to overestimate the maximum heart rate, but the average HR and workout flow with time in levels 4 and 5 seems very close to when I previously used my Garmin Forerunner 245 with a chest strap. The 245 was absolute trash for Crossfit workouts without a chest strap. Seriously, a big pile of trash. I am glad I switched. Thanks for your reviews.

[@fitgearhunter]

The 245 Hr accuracy is a big pile of trash without a chest strap for sure. That sensor could in no way keep up w a CrossFit workout! So glad you're liking it. I did find the training effect aspects to overestimate too much though - how about you? Training load and recovery time too

[@giffordod]

@@fitgearhunter Yes. I have found the same thing with training load and recovery time. They have definitely overestimated compared to the Garmin algorithm. And the anaerobic is definitely higher than it should be. I am curious to see if that improves with time after it has multiple weeks of data for my typical workout load. I know that Garmin used to give a higher recovery time if I had taken a week off and then started back up with an intense workout again. And the initial recovery times when I first started with Garmin were higher even though my actual fitness was not any different prior to wearing the device (and external monitor). I simply added the tool to monitor it. So time will tell if the Zepp algorithm starts with an assumption of a lesser fit individual and adjusts load and recovery as it analyzes workout performance over time.

[@fitgearhunter]

@@giffordod yes totally. When I tested the GTR3 I found that it did not decrease overtime. This time I tried to make sure to do 10 minute steady state running sessions to get updated VO2 max values, but it didn't really help that much

[@fitgearhunter]

@@giffordod have you tried that as well? Frankly I wish you could input your own VO2 max value a little bit higher so that it would give you lower training effect and training load scores

[@giffordod]

I have not. I actually need to do a few more VO2 measurements. I only have 1 and it is a bit lower than Garmin's estimate.

[@lindawill7343]

I bought this watch and I love it. I did get 10 days out of it and probably could have gotten and extra day or two out of it. I'm a bowler and I am glad it has theat feature on it to track the workout. Just love the watch. Won't go back to samsung watches.

[@Witcherworks]

Day 2 with the GTR4 and I must say how impressive it is. Especially when you look at Amazfits previous watches. They always did something cool but compromised on the data. This tho is very close enough to garmin at a very low price. I'm currious to see how the data comapairs. You are right on the sleep tracking. Maybe it will get better over time?

[@fitgearhunter]

That's so great to hear. So glad it's working out for you, and at such a lower price point. Keep me posted!

[@CashMoneyMoore]

Thanks for the review! Awesome overview. Very impressed with the improvements on these watches

[@fitgearhunter]

me too! Thanks for saying - they are continuing to improve every watch for sure

[@menifo4334]

Your review on the GTR 3 PRO was the one that convinced me to get one. Even though I love it, it's not without its shortcomings. I do a lot of cycling and even though the watch is capable of keeping up with the fluctuations of the HR, at some point it loses track. I may be climbing an uphill getting a HR reading of 61(?l. I need to pause and resume the workout manually several times for it to regain accuracy. And if I fail to notice it then the resulting PAI score is totally off. Secondly, the Zepp app is not intuitive enough to put the dots together between pause and resume, say at a junction or traffic lights. That may account for a deviation of up to 10% in the total distance from the reported total on Strava . GPS accuracy has improved greatly with an update but still room for improvement. On the positive side, it has a very stable firmware with regular updates. and it's giving me all the metrics I want without the fussy details that I don't need. All in all, appart from the ability to now connect to a chest-strap, I don't expect this to be a huge step up in terms of accuracy. Btw, I prefer the looks of the GTR 3. More elegant. Looking forward for your review on the Falcon. Looks like several steps up the GTR series. Thanks man!

[@Mr-BareMinimum]

Hey man, would love to get an update on how this watch is performing now and the accuracy of it . I am hoping that you got updates which might have fixed some of the issues related to it .

[@menifo4334]

@@Mr-BareMinimum I had this watch for fifteen months. I returned it to the seller at the end of last June. After the last update three months before that, the watch got worse with an unresponsive screen and an unstable BT connectivity. Those were two of the strong points of the watch and they messed it up. HR accuracy didn't improve. It could still dive down to as low of 49bpm while cycling on an uphill. HR inaccuracy has been the major flaw with all Amazfit watches, one that may have improved since their latest model the Balance. It remains to be seen if this improvement will be carried over to the upcoming GTR5. Hope this helps.

[@danielrguerra]

Excellent option for those who do not want to get lost among the thousands of data that Garmin gives or specialized watches. Excellent video as always, thank you very much!

[@fitgearhunter]

Oh good! Let me know how you end up liking it! Thanks!

[@saviordream]

I've had this for a little less than a week now and I really like it. I'm coming from a Fitbit Versa 4, which I was a little underwhelmed with, and this watch is just so much better in almost every way. The only con I've come across so far, is that when I'm boxing/hitting the heavy bag, I've discovered that when wearing hand wraps and the boxing gloves, they tends to always press in the crown on the watch and interrupt the workout program. First time I did it, and finished up the workout, I was disappointed to see that it didn't track any information because of this. I couldn't find a way to turn off the crown when doing a workout in the settings, so my workaround has been to actually turn the watch around on my wrist before putting on the wraps and gloves. While not ideal, at least this way the crown is facing the other way and doesn't get accidentally pushed in!

[@fitgearhunter]

First off - best YT profile pic ever. "Who is the meanest? Who is the baddest?! Sho-nuff!" Yes - that is definitely a worthwhile solution - but better would be to connect the Watch to a heart rate cheat strap and take it off entirely. The chest strap will transmit HR for the workout, and no troubles w the watch for the boxing. Have you considered that before? I believe the GTR4 will connect to external sensors

[@saviordream]

@@fitgearhunter Yes, I believe the watch does connect to external heart rate monitors, although I'd have to look into which ones in particular would work with the unit. I'm also unsure how secure a monitor strapped to the chest would be for this kind of workout. It'd probably be fine, but something else I'd have to investigate, as well as the costs involved. Not sure all of this would be worth it, as just turning the watch around on my wrist seems to work fine, and when I do this the workout program works runs normally, and it records the data without issue. It's a minor annoyance I've found in an otherwise fantastic smartwatch/fitness tracker. It is just something I'm surprised they didn't consider since they have a number of "combat sports" activities in the 154 total, and I imagine this same issue can come up with any one of them.

[@fitgearhunter]

@@saviordream yes completely, but I would definitely look at chest straps to no longer worry about it - any bluetooth HR sensor would work - I bet you could get one even on eBay for ~$50 that would have minimal use and work perfectly. Good luck!

[@Ahmed-Aref]

You can lock the screen from the menu shortcut and then no button will take action until you unlock the screen by holding the button for 5 seconds !

[@fitgearhunter]

@@Ahmed-Aref thank you for sharing!

[@MarcoPolo82]

It's accurate?It's good form gyn and calisthenics? Some exercises are difficult to perform wearing a chest strap, like straight bar dips, bench press.

[@juliensansous3815]

Thank you for this excellent review as always. I would like to know which heart rate chest strap you used with the GTR 4 ?

[@fitgearhunter]

Sorry for delayed response! I used the Polar H10 - thanks!

[@ismaelrivera1999]

Thanks for the review. Compare with the GTR 3 from last year I think that Amazfit is moving in the right direction and competing with Garmin. How you will compare it with the Venu 2 plus?

[@fitgearhunter]

good question - the Venu 2, for me, is superior bc of the ecosystem and some of the additional health metrics (even Music - downloadable Spotify playlists to the V2 is a big difference), but he absence of the training analytics on the V2 is def a loss.

[@MultiSumoman]

Hi, great review! Does it connect to external Cadence/speed sensors (cycling activity), or just HR sensor?

[@fitgearhunter]

Just HR for now that I am aware!

[@billc9185]

What I'm finding with some of the fitness and smartwatches is that the aerobic/anaerobic training load effects are sometimes overestimated for more fit users. Much like happens with scales that measure BMI, i've found that it tends to return a higher value. A lot of times these calculations are set up to cover the middle of the bell curve and fits your "average joe" then a high performance/highly trained individual. Love the review. I'm currently looking at all of the options that are not Wear OS or Apple and this is a good all around option.

[@fitgearhunter]

Thanks so much! Yes - it is frustrating that it always skews to over-estimating impact of a regular workout. It has gotten better, and hopefully will continue to do so. Thanks!

[@SibTiger33]

Wow fantastic review! Subbing right now - Amazing insight and good analysis. Thank you. Have you tested the latest Samsung watches by any chance?

[@fitgearhunter]

Thank you! That means a lot. And no ever since they converted to android- only utilization I haven't. Frankly if they released more of an advanced sports and training and recovery device I would purchase an android phone to be able to review it, but I don't think the GW5 offers anything special, and Wear OS is not advanced enough with third-party applications to make up for what it lacks.

[@SibTiger33]

@@fitgearhunter o yes I forgot they don't have an app for ios now. I have the Samsung galaxy 5 Pro and its fantastic (for android) but a little big so picked up the gts 4 as an alternative watch and so far I'm liking it, its very impressive and as u say a brand to keep an eye on.

Hello Thanks for this review ! i love you're test of all you watch and the value on % accuracy. You can now keep on strava the data of heart rate to compare to chest trap. Can you did a comparaison like garmin epix or AW with graphic comparaison ? please ^^

[@menifo4334]

One question though. The weight used on your strength training workout, was it added on the watch during the workout or later on the app? I've noticed that the workout records can be edited on the app.

[@fitgearhunter]

Yes was definitely added after the workout. It's pretty much the same with all strength tracking profiles on any watch: you basically do some wraps and it guesses at the movement and gets about half of them right. Then when you get back to the completed workout on the app you update the exact workout movement and the weights

[@philin68]

What do you think about Amazfit gtr4 vs Huawei gt3?

[@fitgearhunter]

HUAWEI wins - better training tracking and heart rate tracking, but not available here in US. And I believe $100 more so I would suggest the Garmin 255 at the higher price

[@maciejtekieli8268]

@@fitgearhunter yes, you are right that GW5 is missing Training Load, Recovery Time, and Aerobic and Anaerobic Training effect but from the other hand those metrics based in some cases on HR.

No one does speaking about the haptics....I mean the vibration on this watch or on the TREX2

[@fitgearhunter]

Yes good point - I didn't notice anything unique to it but I'll try to pay more attention if there are noticeable differences in the future!

[@egcozinon]

please...let me know. It's an important thing by the way. Because it can be used as an alarm while you sleep. And if it's not as strong as it should be....then it's almost useless

[@egcozinon]

Usually I plugging my ears with silicone earplugs so so deeply that I can sleep in almost complete silence...but If I need to wake up on the alarm sounds from my phone,I couldn't hear it because of the earplugs in my ears...so that's why it's sooo freaking important to me the strong haptics on the watch on my wrist...so It could wake me up from my deep sleep

[@fitgearhunter]

@@egcozinon okay yes - I see what you're saying! And yes - I use every watch I've ever tested as an alarm to wake up! I remember it being fine - so the same back vibration strength as any other. Sorry I can't better say!

[@egcozinon]

Thank you. I've bought this watch yesterday!!!

So you dont concider mp3 for real music 😂 so how do you listen to music then?

[@fitgearhunter]

Spotify Playlists! Only on Garmin or Apple

[@dj.mb_one]

@@fitgearhunter Samsung and every other Wear os watches have it to.. So what do you think Spotify use as music format ? 😂 Beside flac and wav, mp3 ? you will never hear the difference 😊especially on a watch or mobile phone 😊

[@matthewstopint8852]

i master my music on mp3 at 320 kbps and load it on my watch ... some streaming services only do 128 kbps

[@fitgearhunter]

@@matthewstopint8852 Nice! That's way out of my technical league!

[@Quietprofessional1]

You can get a Galaxy Watch 5 for $200

[@fitgearhunter]

That's a deal! Would be more capable than the GTR4 for sure, especially if paired to a Samsung phone

[@Kiss_MyAss]

Thanks for the great review! This might just be the watch to replace my Stratos! Truly value for money! BTW does Alexa function using the phone WiFi/mobile data?

[@fitgearhunter]

Thank you! Really appreciate the words. And YES - it uses the phone's connection with the outside world for the Alexa function. Thanks!

Amazfit is garbage. I personally wouldn’t purchase any product that is affiliated with Amazon.

[@giffordod]

It is not "affiliated" with Amazon. It only shares a few letters in its name. If you want to avoid Amazon products, avoid Halo.

What an informed consumer!
