Amazfit GTR 4 Review | Kills Samsung/Apple Watch in one big way

[@TechSpurt]

Thanks for watching my Amazfit GTR 4 review, hoping to get the GTS 4 on the go soon - and please do ignore any Telegram competition nonsense from spambots, that's not me! Cheers!

[@gorgonismztruth1551]

Why is the screen smaller than gtr3 pro??????????????

[@PerpetualPreponderer]

Holy smokes, 1 week battery life?! This is the one I've been waiting for! Is it compatible with iPhone???

[@TischTosh]

I'd love your take on the GTS 4! TIA

[@ianstonemanironhand]

Is this watch compatible with the iPhone 14 Pro Max?

[@Wolf855]

Too funny

[@MichaelGerrard]

Years back I had the Samsung Gear S3, I had to charge it every night. After two years it died. Since then I have used the original GTR, it is still going strong many years later. This new GTR4 looks excellent too. If I were to get a new smartwatch, I'd go for this one. Good stuff!

[@DoctorNemmo]

Yup, that's Samsung: two years and it's gone into the trash pile.

[@tatianaayala-delamatta5124]

I bought a Samsung Watch 4 last September. I went to put it on a few days ago and it was bricked. Won't charge or anything. That's what $300 gets you nowadays I guess. Never getting another Samsung watch unless they improve the quality. My boyfriend bought this one for me as a Christmas present. Let's see how it holds up!

[@PetualangSantuy]

Yap.. some may say that it's okay to only have one day or two and simply re-charge the battery, but batteries have what's called life cycle. The more frequent the battery is charged, the faster it comes to its death (or at least the battery's optimal use)..

[@finderskeepers7293]

I am using the original GTR and its going great. I don't see any significant increment in features to want to upgrade yet. Yes, mine doesn't have calling or an SpO² monitor but I can live without those. 😀

[@simdencard]

​@FindersKeepers I suppose you can live with poor heart rate tracking also. Maybe you just use your watch for telling the time. 😊

[@chunkybeats79]

I have the GTR 2, brilliant watch and hasn't let me down. I easily get 2 weeks of battery between charges still. No app support but it's a no nonsense smart watch

[@CliffDaviszootour]

£200? Looks like I'm about to get my first Smart Watch

[@andyskurna1407]

I've seen at least a half-dozen videos on the Amazfit GTR 4. This is far and away the most helpful. Thank you!

[@robertbenitez8972]

I can always count on you to give an honest down to Earth review!! Keep them coming!!!

[@menifo4334]

BEWARE: Amazfit may have been upgrading the sensors from generation to generation but one thing they have NOT upgraded was their HR algorithm. Now in the fourth generation, the watch is still suffering from a major flaw in that if fails to pick up the pulse in sudden and rapid spikes of the HR, in activities such as cycling, interval training, swimming and a few others. I could be climbing an uphill on my cycle getting an HR of as low as 56bpm (?). Amazfit is well aware of this problem but they have NOT bothered to adjust their algorithms as yet. The new Falcon as well as the T-REX 2 both suffer from the same flaw. It is possible that the flaw may have been passed on to other models of the Amazfit lineup as well.

[@teenermeener971]

Dam that sucks.

[@thatguy6230]

Why do you copy and paste the same bullshit on every video?

[@SibTiger33]

Interesting. Does it make a difference if u manually start a activity? Does that adjust the algorithm?

[@menifo4334]

@@SibTiger33 Most of the times I start my activities manually. but It makes no difference. I have pulled all sorts of tricks, played with the settings, rebooted to factory settings, all to no avail. Two things that may help is first, wearing the watch as farther back on your arm and secondly, if it happens from the very start of the workout, you need to end the session and begin a new one until it locks on the actual HR. What do you do when it looses track amidst a workout? You just ignore it and you don't let it spoil your mood.

[@zen_k4i]

Maybe your unit is flawed? I have a Amazfit Band 7 (yeah, it's not even the flagship) and it works amazing for my workouts.

[@bria-34]

For a moment I thought uncle Spurt was reviewing a car😂😂😂😂

[@JedBullet]

lmao, imagine Uncle Spurt with Clarkson, May and Hammond! Now there's a PR thing for Amazon to think about :)

[@lindawill7343]

I have the gtr 4 and I actually got 11 days of usage out of it. Yes I didn't have the alway on display but I did get the 11 days. On other days I get 10. Love the watch. Won't go back to samsung

[@charlesomotunde2802]

My impression in the first few seconds was how good it looks and how smooth the UI seems, I'm loving this

[@stevenevil8415]

I really like the GTR 4, but I am still waiting for Zepp OS to offer a camera viewfinder app for looking into tight spaces. Love that tool on the Apple watch.

[@TheRebs7]

I had the GTS2 and now have the GTS3 so I'm looking forward to the GTS4. I'm completely sports adverse, so the watch will get very little workout use, but I love the sleep tracking and heart rate 02 monitoring etc and things like the timers and alarms, notifications, weather (and find your phone!). The 4 has got indoor walking added I believe, which could be good for the walking treadmill I've got , and also fall detection is a nice addition. We have a downstairs bathroom so have to negotiate the stairs in a coma now and again in the night. It'll be terrific for answering a call when I'm cooking and not having to handle my phone. Smart watches are advertised with honed young people doing endless exercise, but they're getting really useful for us old biddies too.

[@TheRebs7]

Laughing now, that I've made myself sound 103 years old in my comment above. 😀

[@robertjpayne]

@@TheRebs7 You reflect exactly why I wear the gtr 2. Also the gtr line up all look superb, especially the silver cases. I will get myself the 4 for christmas. By the way I'm finding the glass is easy to crack, I have 2 very fine cracks in mine. Have yours stayed uncracked?

[@TheRebs7]

@@robertjpayne Oh that's a shame. Wonder what caused that? Mine have been fine and I'm always amazed how shiny and scratch free they stay. It's nice, too, when you pass them on that they look pristine. I enjoyed the upgrade from the 2 to the 3 so I think you'll enjoy the 4 at Christmas.

[@robertjpayne]

@@TheRebs7 thanks for your endorsement of the 4. its been a while since I was excited by new kit and its quite motivating to see my steps and heart rate (I need to lose a few pounds)

[@michaelf5161]

@Rebs7, don't suppose you have a link to your walking treadmill? I'm trying to avoid the huge, not needed running treadmill but don't want something flimsy either!

[@KeemReviewz]

Good review! Just to note, if you have an Android phone then the GTR4 allows you to reply to messages from the watch. You can reply from pre configured messages that you save but can't type to reply

[@junito1284]

One,question you can, see other notifications emails and other apps. Thanks

[@KeemReviewz]

@@junito1284 yes you can see notifications from all apps in your phone

[@junito1284]

@@KeemReviewz but in this amazfit gtr4 you can see emails too. Let me know. Thanks

[@sufyankhanafridi302]

Can you speak to reply in the watch like Fitbit versa 4

[@marvy911]

Been using it for like a week now, I am happy with it overall but I'm concerned it's sleep tracking is really bad, my old trex pro had a better one, was way more accurate within sleep phases and showing when I was awake, my gtr 4 shows I fell asleep way before I actually did and sometimes shows I slept the whole night when I had awaken several times.

[@TheAkdzyn]

Pretty decent watch. I'm not very big on feature loaded watches. I just want something that can handle notifications and some customization so I don't get bored of it. Great review as always. Thanks!

[@TechSpurt]

Cheers for watching!

[@grabieljf]

Thx for excelent review. The gtr4 can connect 2 bluetooth devices at the same time, like a chest strap and headphone?

[@sidahmedbel8688]

Thanks for the review I do enjoy your reviews I did buy the GTR 4 I'm just waiting for it big fan of the Amazfit big fan of you 👍

[@finderskeepers7293]

I am pretty pleased with my GTR (the 1st GTR). I still get about 20 days of battery and its got everything I need. Infact its got some functions that I don't use at all. I therefore don't see myself upgrading to the latest GTR4. I don't need the calling function and will definitely not like to take a call on speaker. I don't save music on my wearable and I am quite satisfied with the bio-trackers on my current watch.

[@darkmessiah9566]

How about the notifications? Are they instant?

[@szaryvm]

Thanks for this review, I bought this watch and is amazing so far.

[@late_nights]

I wish the watch has NFC for payments.

[@VegTeam14]

Is this one better than Honor Watch GS3?

[@brittonlarry13]

Excellent review! What's your experience with its tracking stair count? I've tried several times going up and down at home and it just doesn't track properly at all.

[@JosephDalrymple]

In short: Battery life is unbeatable, everything else is inaccurate.

[@simdencard]

You hit the nail in the head. 😅

[@sarakarim8526]

What do you mean

[@JosephDalrymple]

@@sarakarim8526 To summarize the video, the battery life is unbeatable, but every sensor on the watch is inaccurate and unreliable.

[@ammaral-hadibinazmi665]

Its not unreliable or not accurate. Its better than most of his price tag. Its quite accurate actually but its not on par with high end smart watch like apple and samsung.

[@mateeugen4915]

I can testify. Sensors are rubbish. On a exercise when Coros gives me 136HR this amazfit watch show 201HR 😂

[@3deryk]

Hi, I bought this watch and basically I am very happy with this choice. However the phone calls via the watch are a bit uncomfortable since the person on the other side keeps hearing an echo of his voice. I hoped a firmware update would help but the last one did not change anything. Anyone having this issue? Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

[@viperviper817]

I'm still with my GTR 1 😂 Mabye this will be funny to all of you but this watch has already more than enogh for me Every added thing after is good, but for me I think most of people at the end of the day want use 80% of those things It's cool if you really want it But for me I like it simple and doing it's job

[@brianmoore3294]

Everyone who raves about the GTR4 just raves about the big battery. I bought one of these two weeks ago and found, as you did, that it does a horrible job of keeping track of fitness metrics. The steps are all over the place, it has no clue when or how I am sleeping, pulse is sketchy and not real time, and the PAI's make no sense. A 3 mile treadmill run might send the PAI's through the roof but an extreme, 18 mile mountain ride will barely budge them. I could go on, but this thing is a complete failure as a fitness tracker.

[@TheChameleon2008]

Great review and i still rock my amazfit pace and the standby time is really great after all these years. The main problem i have is the zapp app and all the data it needs so i rather want to use it with googlefit only

[@niplob]

Sadly the HR accuracy is equivalent to a rock. And downloading android apps also is impossible since it lacks WearOS

[@TheChameleon2008]

@@niplob Thank god i dont care about these things tho. I mean, its nice to have but not paying 350+ for shit like this when i use my phone for the apps and my watch just for music control and stepcounter/sport tracking.

[@landsurfer66]

Well done. Thanks for the overview. I think I'll get one.

[@ivonikolov8709]

Wonderful Review 😉 I have also watched the reviews of the GT3 and the GT3 Pro and still can't decide is the GT4 gonna be "Much " of an Upgrade in comparison 🤔

[@AronCraig]

If these cheaper "smart" watches had google maps or an equivalent I'd be sold... I've most recently had an amazfit bip and went back to a normal watch. Google Fit tracks my steps on my phone, and I don't really care about heart rate or o2 levels. While it's smooth to use navigation is the one feature that would sell me on trying one again.

[@bargepoled]

It has its own maps. Your walks, rides and runs are shown in the Zepp app and you can see on a map exactly where you have been without Google knowing your every movement!

[@CashMoneyMoore]

For directions there are third party apps that can get Google map directions directly on the watch. But not as nice as wear os where you can look around on the map

[@jbondpt]

Thank you for the review. Can you tell me if the body of the watch is black? I thought it was Grey... How would it look with a silicone black strap? Thank you

[@mattsanchez4893]

Great review Chris, may justupgrade my Garmin with this baby especially with that great battery life.

[@davud3bill]

What a great video! I love the colour you use in your ambient.

[@AlbanBytyqi]

Great watch for swimming. Tried some of the most expensive out there including Garmin fenix six and polar vantage range and this watch was more accurate than they were in a 25 metre pool. Cheers for the review. Love your sarcasm across all your reviews.

[@GeorgiosKiriakakis]

Glad to hear good news for this watch . Heart rate measurement works during swimming?

[@AlbanBytyqi]

@@GeorgiosKiriakakis yes. I think it works well but of course needs to be tested against a benchmark device.

[@rajad496]

As always, that is a fantastic review of the product, Cheers! :)

[@richd1047]

Can you compare with the amazfit t-rex Pro 2?

[@Emmetd27]

Great review, thank you. Would this be a good watch for an elderly person to make eceive calls, monitor heart rate, spo2 and fall detection? Or would the Huawei Watch 3 be a better option.

[@bencrompton2524]

Bought this for partner's birthday, and returned it almost immediately as it was constantly disconnecting from her phone. Lots of people commenting about this on Reddit, but very limited (and ineffective) information from Zepp to solve this. So disappointing after such a great review!

[@anaragayevafr2]

Great review. Can you please share your thoughts about the compass? How accurate is it? I sold my GTR 2 because of the compass but I want to switch back to Amazfit again wondering about the compass.

[@turo3066]

Does this GTR 4 have compass, baro and/or altimeter? Debating between this and GTR 3 Pro. Thanks for the great review!

[@oliverserek6853]

Hello Tech Spurt. Thanks for this video and many others, been watching your videos for a while now. On this one, would you be able to confirm if the GTR4 can connect to external heart rate sensors, such as the Polar H10? 'settings>Bluetooth>workout accessory, then add device'?

[@harge25]

As i can see... Through watch we can make a phone calls but we can not fast replay even with define answer? Also can I manage smart wake up in watch?

[@noelwright8740]

Great review, you just left out one feature that galaxy watch 5 has, and does GTR4 have the accessibility feature for visually impaired, I'd really like to know.

[@perseus9968]

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Could you check if the Tides Forecast is finally working now? I had a GTR 3 Pro in the past and it failed all the time since it was impossible or the Watch to connect to the Xiaomi Weather Server. Hopefully this has been fixed in the GTR 4 ...

[@radekpolak7233]

I would like to share my experience with the Amazfit GTR 3. I purchased the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro in January 2022. I liked the design of the watch and the battery life. In July 2023, I sent it in for a warranty claim, because the touchscreen stopped working and the watch could not be operated. The claim was accepted, the fault was unrepairable and was resolved by replacing it with a new piece. Unfortunately in August 2024 even with this new watch there was a defect, the watch would always switch to the switch off/restart screen and then switch off. Now the watch cannot be used. The first watch lasted functional for 18 months. The second one only worked for 13 months and this one, even though it was new, could no longer be claimed. Amazfit's statement on the repair of the Amazfit GTR 3 watch was that due to the waterproof design and design of the watch, it could not be repaired or would not be cost effective. At least I gained experience, next time just don't accept the replacement but straight out withdraw from the contract and buy it again, at least one gets the warranty again, which may not be a bad thing with this watch. I was satisfied with the watch, but I admit that it could have worked longer.

[@GK-qc5ry]

Unfortunately you have to look at the accuracy of the health metrics. Great that it tracks a workout and sleep but if the accuracy is poor then what's the point.

[@bargepoled]

They adjust over time. Initially they are a bit off. After a week or so they learn your activities and become very accurate. I've had a few different ones. After a week or so they are spot on.

[@Pip50001]

I looked at what I used my Apple Watch for and I was surprised how little functionality I was using . Having just bought the amazfit GTR4 i was stunned by what is in the unit it covers everything I was using and more . I am still struggling to sync my apple cal to the device , but I am sure I work out how to do it. For £200 it’s outstanding value , the battery life is excellent, no more daily charging. I am convinced that apple will loose the hybrid Watch race purely on price and convenience. Great choice 😂
