Amazfit GTS Smartwatch Review and Giveaway! - Is It Any Good for Running?

[@Rahrahsisboombob]

A perfect watch to gift to my younger brother who is interested in starting his fitness journey. Just bought him a pair of Skechers goruns and this would be a perfect gift to pair with them to get him started!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

That's awfully generous of you! Good luck, I hope your brothers journey goes well!

[@Ufgruff]

Started running in January and I really love it. This watch will be great to help me track my runs around the area. Really like the videos. Thanks for all the great information.

[@rossman70]

I just started running for fitness last year and had a Amazfit Bip which was fine. I upgraded to this watch this year. I totally concur about the font colors when running! I only run a couple of miles 3-4 times a week. The treadmill is not that accurate but it does seem to learn after a few tries. I did synch mine to Strava and perhaps since your video they have improved it but all my activities including treadmill walks and runs synch. I usually have to charge it once a week(I charge it when it reaches 40% so could go longer). In all a pretty nice watch with the few caveats you've outlined.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@nimagholipour]

Hi. Does it support interval training like 3x1000m with 3min rest?

[@calvinthomas3543]

Really liked the mix of upsides and downsides that you discussed. Just the kind of review I was looking for. Thanks a bunch!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Glad you thought it was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@mufaddalalazher2381]

I completed a 36 hours Mt.Kenya challenge with this watch. Charged the watch friday night, continuously used it for around 2 days and still had 10% battery on Monday. When 100% the watch gives 26hours of GPS activity!! Great watch

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thats great to hear!

[@TheOFWProjectWorld]

This is still good in 2021 for a budget smartwatch! It is on sale now here for 69 euros which is a good deal! i saw some gts 2e review and not much has changed from this gts ergo this is a good steal rather than gts 2e for 99 euros. Thanks again for the review man!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Excellent value at that price!

I liked your review of the GTS, to the point, fair in your comments and decent information.

I Started running in January trying to lose 30lbs. I was holding my phone while I run but that gets old fast. Winning this would be amazing. My son runs cross country and one day it would be nice to be able to keep up with him. Fingers crossed... great video.

Thank you for the review as i mentioned before. Seems like a great watch for a casual run and daily fitness tracker that isn't to expensive either. I love it and i definitely wouldn't mind having this. I've debated this for a while but the big thing for me is the gps and using it for running. great review as always and keep em coming!

[@TylerBattershell]

I hope I'm not too late to join this, but I've been running on and off for about 6 years now but I've never really thought of tracking my running and my progress. I'd love to win this watch so I can actually see the progression of my endurance and fitness! Thank you for doing this giveaway!

The orange font on black is a real bummer. I am debating whether returning it for the Bip S. save 60 dollars. Even if lower resolution the white font on black is more legible. They should have a black on white option.

[@DonDudley]

First off, great in depth review. I subscribed some time ago and have liked a lot of your videos since. My wife has been on a Garmin Vivofit for the last two years and it just bit the dust. I would be passing this on to her as she would benefit from it. It would be a great upgrade from the old monochrome screen that really just counted steps and did a so-so job tracking her workouts. She would love a color screen.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks so much! Good luck!

[@s3phiria]

Hope I am not too late for the giveaway too! Recently discovered your channel and reviews through Reddit, loving the unbiased and honest opinions :) currently looking to replace my budget fitness band with more functionality including syncing to Strava, and the amazfit is looking wonderful for an amateur like me. Again, thanks for all the work!

Great review! I'm thru hiking all 2650 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail this year and I leave in April. I've been looking for a good tracker/ watch to bring along with me. I'd like to keep track of how many footsteps it takes to get from Mexico to Canada. Keep producing the stellar content and thanks for all you do!

As years went by. It seems like a good deal as a budget smartwatch. Thinking of getting it since i can get it for $45 where im from. Been using Bip U Pro for 3 years until the battery got swollen and popped off the screen

Great review and thank you, when i win I'll be using the watch to help myself train for my 1st triathalon. 🙌😎

[@chckurstaats]

I’m training for my first hundred miler. My Amazfit Stratos quit keeping a charge last year so I’m in the market

[@dantilan]

Your reviews are hands down some of the best, I'm subscribed and the most athletic thing I do all week is walk to the grocery store, that should tell you something. Regarding the watch, is there a low-power always-on mode where the screen is active all the time but is dimmed down? Currently using the Amazfit Bip which is almost half the size of the GTS and the battery still lasts for 20+ days, which is insane for a smart-watch that costs less than 80 bucks.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks so much! Yes Amazfit actually did update the watch to include an always on display via Firmware. Unfortunately it really kills the battery life turning 2 weeks into 2-3 days, Also it's kind of weird having a glowing display on your wrist all day long. Hope that helps! Thanks again for watching.

[@luishernandezquintana4289]

I would use this watch to improve my fitness and also for light smartwatch capabilities since I work in an environment were phones are not used at all times

[@KRW01]

Does it have a built in gps or the gps signal comes from the phone that is connected too? Also can you have calls via the watch or not? Can you watch pdf files or images on it? Thanks in advance!

Would you go into a small bit of detail and tell me how to do the functions for sleep tracking? Also, how do I get to the fitness activity list?

Sleep tracking on the Amazfit GTS is pretty basic. It tracks your sleep and breaks it down into sleep phases in the app like “light sleep, deep sleep, rem sleep”. Hope that helps.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

The sub-200 market is tough. There are sacrifices on almost every option. It will get the job done. But I think the Amazfit Stratos might suit you better for $20 more. It has more running specific features and much better battery life.

Huawei Watch GT 2 review please 😄

[@mikeoleksa]

Guess what? I didn't click on this video to win this watch and still watched the whole video! LOL :-P I'm just evaluating all the options at all price points and this watch and the newer GTS 2e came across my radar, even in September of 2021. I really have my eye on the Garmin Venu 2, but the original Venu and Galaxy Watch 4 are contenders as well. I'm a health conscious tech guy, that does some walking, hiking, and paved road biking, (nothing too strenuous) so I like the "gadgets" and additional sensors that the GW4 has (keep in mind that I do own a Galaxy S21 Ultra phone, so I would be able to use all of the features), but I like the accuracy that the Garmin devices are known for. I'm just not sure I can justify the price of new Venu 2 over the original Venu, the GW4 (non classic, non LTE, 44mm), or even the Garmin Vivoactive 4.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks for watching! The Amazfit options aren't bad for the money but the accuracy hasn't been amazing in my experience. The Venu 2 is a fantastic device but at $399 its certainly not a small investment. I recently tested the Galaxy Watch 4 and it's great if you have a Samsung phone but again... accuracy not great. tough call!

[@mikeoleksa]

@@ChaseTheSummit, I really like the improved interface of the Venu 2 also. It's really the perfect device for someone like me, but that price is just a bit high. I've almost convinced myself to just get the original Venu for now since it can be bought for around 250 to 275 USD on Amazon for a refurbished model and I'm not missing much. UGH! Decisions, decisions. 🤷‍♂️😂

[@mikeoleksa]

I need to correct myself in my last reply. The original Venu is only $270 USD for a NEW model right now on Amazon and even on the Garmin website. The Vivoactive 4 is even 20 bucks less on both sites. I may just go with the Vivoactive 4 because of the 22mm watchbands. Sounds petty, but that extra 2mm adds a TON of options and I already have a bunch of them laying around. It's pretty much the same watch as the original Venu except for the display. Hopefully the price on the Venu 2 comes down a bit in the future. I'd really like a Fenix 6 Pro, but that's a whole different price barrier. The F5X+ is also a great watch that can be found around $360 to 370 USD for refurbs. Anyway, I've rambled enough. As you can see, I've looked at quite a few watches and the ones mentioned don't even scratch the surface. Different models from Suunto, Coros, Polar, Fitbit, and other Garmin models were all considered also. Your videos have been very helpful in my quest for a new wrist gadget. Thank you for all the time and work that you put into them. I'll be clearing my browser cookies and using one of your affiliate links before making my purchase.
