Amazfit GTR 3 Pro Smart Watch for Men 46mm, 14-Day Battery Life, GPS, Alexa Built-In, Bluetooth Calls, Fitness Tracker with 150+ Sports Modes, Sleep Heart Rate Tracking, for Android iPhone, Black

I've had my GTR 3 Pro for about two weeks. This is my first ever smart watch or fitness tracker, I'm not an athlete, and so far I'm very happy with this watch. I can't imagine needing more workout options or settings or features... too many to list and review here. I use the Android Zepp app on my Samsung phone and there's a lot of information in the app and it's pretty intuitive to me; you use the phone app do most of the watch settings and see the super-detailed health and workout data, just make sure to keep the app running all the time. That means now your phone's bluetooth is always on, something new to me but I suppose not for a lot of people. If you're away from your phone, it all syncronizes the next time the watch and phone connect. The battery and price were my main reasons for choosing this watch (and it's round, like a watch should be). The battery is no joke: I think the manufacturer promises around 12 days, and after nine days it was at 14%. I logged a workout each day, made and answered a few phone calls, slept overnight with it on once, replied to texts, kept it connected to the phone, never turned it off, left most if not all of the default settings (screen NOT always on, heart rate every 10 minutes), and played with it a lot. No doubt results will vary. Just a couple hours to re-charge. I've read about high-brow ($$$) watches being charged once or even twice a day... that's a non-starter for me. I keep the big and responsive screen at about 15% brightness but it is on auto-brightness so you can see it out in the sun. GPS seems accurate after looking at the maps of my walks in the app... start an outside workout, tap start and give it 15 seconds or so to catch the GPS signal, the phone vibrates and you're off. Works everytime. I pretty much take the watch's word for it as far as heart rate, steps, calories and the rest of the fitness and health features. I have nothing to compare it to so works for me. The description says includes wifi but it isn't anything you can use like you might think or turn on or off as you please... might just be for transferring music to the watch. With just the companion Zepp app on your phone, you can make and answer phone calls with the watch's built-in microphone and speaker. And you can reply to text messages either with an emoji or from a selection of pre-set responses that you can edit or add to (you make/edit these using the Zepp app on your phone, they're syncronized to the watch, and the responses appear on your watch when you tap reply to a text). Works great. You can't create a text with the watch (maybe thru Alexa, not sure). There's a little app store in the Zepp phone app (maybe 20 apps), where you can download small apps to the watch (stocks, calculator, etc.). I am an Alexa newbie but it also works fine. Set-up is a bit clunky using the manual and Zepp app but after going through the process a couple times it works. We don't have anything else Alexa in the house so still figuring out what to do with her besides weather, lists, etc.I'm still using the supplied brown band... not sure if it's really leather but it is comfy and looks good. I was worried most about the large size of the watch with my skinny wrists, but it looks ok even with a separate cover that adds a couple mm to the overall size. I had a cover over the whole watch before I ever turned it on, so I can't comment on scratch resistance and such. I immediately cover all my devices and screens and there are several protection options on Amazon. By the way it can be worn on the right wrist, too, by swapping the band around and settings to flip the screen and buttons. Easy peezy. I've loaded over 200 MP3s to the watch and have over 1G memory left. It connects perfectly to my cheap bluetooth ear buds and so far stays connected. The watch comes with about five or six watch faces pre-installed, but through the Zepp app on your phone you can download more. A lot of them cost a couple bucks but I can't count the free ones. Loading a new face onto your watch takes a couple of taps and it's installed and active on your watch. I've downloaded one of the several separate phone apps just for Amazfit faces and it offers hundreds more for free and works great. I can't imagine anyone wanting more free watch faces, they just don't all come pre-installed on the watch. Nor should they, taking up memory space. Delete and download new faces as you feel the need for change.On the negative side I have yet to get the offline voice commands to do anything. These are built-in voice commands that let you speak to open apps and control some watch features. They are separate from talking to Alexa, which works fine for me. I haven't really sought a solution yet because it's just too easy to get to everything on the watch by swiping or rotating the crown button. The Zepp app does use a good chunk of phone memory... whenever I check it is using between 600 and 800MB of internal storage. Could be alot for some phones and I've no idea if the app can be moved to external phone storage. Hopefully it can. I recommend keeping an open mind when reading some of the negative reviews based on one or two features out of the 50 things the watch does (like 1-star reviews because the customer doesn't like having to use the rotating crown to navigate the display, or couldn't get an old watch's face on this new watch, or too hard to install watch faces (no... it's super easy), or one feature it doesn't even advertise it can do but it "should" do... I don't understand one-star reviews like that). Overall it's a great smart watch value with a long list of useful features.UPDATEAfter I had the watch for weeks I learned there are watchfaces with tap-able/shortcut spots on them, that'll take you directly to different apps in the watch... steps, weather, heart, alarms, etc.And, if you tap on the city name in the weather app you can select other cities that are in the weather section of the Zepp app on your phone. I did that accidentally one day. I had no idea.

Please take note: This review ultimately ends with a positive impression and I would easily recommend this as a purchase. This review covers my experience with the first watch I ordered, and then the subsequent replacement.FIRST TRY: Wow. What a disappointment. Just received mine in the mail yesterday. Opened it, charged it, synced it to the app and tried it on.So far the most basic features are accurate. Time, weather, Bluetooth calls and messages, notifications. Even the compass and barometer work. Connecting through Bluetooth was fairly seamless. I'm not sure the step counter is all that accurate. It seems... sluggish, to say the least.The biggest problem with this watch is the one that will matter to most anyone who buys it. The sensor/s. Either they aren't strong enough, or they don't work well enough to be accurate. This watch only has one visible sensor that is presumably supposed to perform all the functions that this watch claims to have.I happen to have an Amazfit GTS 2e, and a Mobvoi Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS. Both watches have a total of five sensors, and reliably track heart rate, breathing and other stats. This GTR 3 Pro is still fairly new, and should perform better than it does, but so far... it's not great.I've only been able to get the sensor to work in one of two ways. One is by wearing it with the sensor directly over the underside of my wrist, where you take your pulse. The other is by pressing my finger over the sensor, which clearly is not ideal.The other oddity is that while the watch's weather app works perfectly, AND accurately detects your location, the GPS refuses to work when starting a workout like a simple walk.There's a ton of apps on the watch, and even more available through the Zepp App. But so far, the only fitness feature that works smoothly is the pedometer. It shouldn't be this difficult to get a device to work.I've had a mostly good experience with my Amazfit GTS 2e, so I thought this newer watch would be better by leaps and bounds. So far, the only thing that is better is the design, and the gorgeous display. That's a shame, because right now there are $30 smartwatches on Amazon that perform just as well, or better than this one.Reading through the reviews for Amazfit devices doesn't inspire much confidence. Although many of the devices have four and a half stars, that's usually based on a small number of reviews, and it's usually just over half that give those high marks. A little less than half usually express disappointment for the same issues. Poor performance and accuracy for the one thing these watches are supposed to do. Track health & fitness.I'm going to keep testing this thing for a week. Maybe the watch will perform better once broken in a bit. As of now, I couldn't recommend this watch to anyone. This watch used to be over $200. Now it's a little over $100. Maybe the poor functionality is why.First Update: I've now used this thing for four days. The GPS finally worked on a six mile walk. Unfortunately, because the sensor was not detecting any heart rate, the only data I got from that walk was steps counted, distance, and the speed at which I was walking. I couldn' even get a PAI score because of heart rate tracking being absent.I had to shave a small area of baby fine hairs on my wrist, and reboot the watch before it finally began reading heart rate, and I'm not even sure it was accurate. My Ticwatch usually shows my resting heart rate hovering around 96 BPM. The GTR 3 showed a resting rate of roughly 76 BPM.Even so, tracking of my vitals only lasted for about two hours, and then stopped for no reason. It didn't come back for an entire day, until I restarted the watch once more. I've never had these issues with my Ticwatch, but my Amazfit GTS 2e has been tricky like this. This doesn't speak well for the Amazfit brand.On the positive side, even after four days with all tracking and features turned on, I still have 54% of battery left. Flicking my wrist brings the screen to life with ease. The touch screen can be sluggish or clunky sometimes. I'll do one last update before deciding whether I'll return this thing.Final Update : It dawned on me that I may have just gotten a defective unit. I returned it and received a replacement in three days. Now, everything works perfectly, and then some. The battery life alone is quite extraordinary. Six days straight with all features turned on before I needed to recharge. All tracking feels accurate. Syncing was smooth and without any glitches. Alexa works perfectly.Considering that even premium WearOS smartwatches have had Google Assistant pulled from them, Amazfit and Apple watches are the only option outside of WearOS that offer a useful Assistant app. The display, the battery life, and even the app support on Amazfit devices is better than what WearOS is offering. In my mind, Amazfit is the only true alternative to an Apple Watch.

Bought this 2.5 years ago. It is a decent watch. Looks like an Apple watch. Feels like it's quality made (despite the stupid brand name that is so high correlated with cheap Chinese made crap all over Amazon). It's also relatively slim and it feels good on the wrist.It's basically waterproof... But don't wear it in the shower. It has a tendency to respond to texts for you when the screen is wet. It uses scripted responses that can be quite rude in American vernacular. I've had to make many apologies to friends and family.I've bought a few Amazfit watches over the years (might be called Zepp now). I can attest to their quality.Battery life is not exaggerated. It feels unusual to actually have to charge this thing.One day, the screen just fell out of the bezel... That was odd, but I still think it's a great alternative to the high priced watches.I wonder if others have experienced the glue separating like that.
