I agreed with the "ALMOST'", for not having NFC and wireless charge, these are the 2 features I hope will add on to it next gen! (with nothing lost from this gen)
Thanks for a great review. On my wrist has been nothing for at least 15 years, but a GTR3 Pro would make a very nice candidate for watch-wearing resumption! Trouble is I can find nothing about whether the alarms and timers make a sound on timeout rather than just buzzing. I tried a speaker-less watch and could barely tell the buzzer was going, so quite useless in that regard. It seems this most basic of features has been deprecated in the pursuit of 'progress'! So, can this watch beep like watches of old?
The watch makes a sound when the alarm is set. It also has an option for a smart alarm waking you gently prior to the alarm. I found that having a decent wearable reduces my screen time on the phone. In turn the phone stays on my desk for longer letting me enjoy the tasks at hand.
@@notenoughtech Good point! I was doing the dishes today and never thought I'd have a use for answering a call on my wrist but it proved super useful today! I think introducing more tech than the average person will use is never a bad thing in a product. I love the customization and functionality of this watch. It is a smartwatch for people who aren't in to smartwatches. The only thing I find somewhat lacking (so far in 2 weeks of use) is the Biotracker 3.0 sensor seems to be lees than accurate. It is for sure less than accurate than the Charge 4 I just came from - and I think the poor design of the app exacerbates this. Hopefully Amazfit can gain massive market share in the future, as I know they have been lately.
If you have hairy wrists the accuracy of the heart rate monitor tend to be bad. I shaved off the hair on my wrist and it works better. It's a bit excessive... Measure but if you have hair in front of the optical sensor they can mess up things
Great review. Just bought the GTR 3 pro & very impressed for the price. I believe it to be on a par with the Huawei GT3. I have never been interested in replying to notifications on my watch or NFC so this is perfect for me.
You can look into tasker. I have policies to reply to certain contacts automatically while I'm driving to tell them I'm driving etc. Which removes the needs for quick replies from the watch completely for me
I had lg urbane as my smartwatch and battery life was about 2 days. So going to Amazfit with over 20 days (original gtr) was awesome especially that I didn't need all smarts of the typical smartwatch
I was waiting for this watch for a whole 4 months before it arrived in my country. One of the most elegant smartwatches, if not the most elegant. Very intuitive, very customizable, with an attractive interface with very cool graphics. It has the smartest watch faces of any other brand. Sleep tracking seemed accurate of the time I went to bed and extremely accurate of my wake-ups during the night. There was no way of checking the accuracy of the sleep phases, though, but the sleep score was reflecting my overall mood in the morning. It has limited multitasking during a workout, with access to the music player and phone calls only. When the workout is paused, the multitasking is unlimited to any function. Music player buttons are very INsensitive to the touch. They need a prolonged touch and to be pressed several times before they react. Not very convenient during a workout. Battery life was crazy with an average consumption of 10% daily with all the metrics on and set to the most frequent intervals and with a weekly usage of the GPS for about a total of six hours of operation. This is where the serious weaknesses of the watch begin. I got this watch mainly because I'm a cyclist and I do most of my daily transportation on my bike. I may do up to a hundred kilometers weekly. No matter what combination of GPS settings I used, the GPS was inaccurate with the routes being recorded over buildings in erratic lines, and with curves being shortcutted to diagonal straight lines. Stopping at traffic lights or junctions was automatically picked up immediately and paused. Resuming was picked up within the first 10 to 15 meters. However, the Zepp app would not connect the dots between pause and resume and they would show on the map as gaps. Not a big deal but the problem got worst when the pause was more than 10 minutes, during a visit to a store or a stop for a coffee, for instance. The watch would not pick the restarting of the activity. In one route, a total of 19,4 km was recorded down to 4,6 km. After this incident, I noticed that the watch needed to be resumed manually after having automatically paused for more than 10 minutes. Not at all convenient, as I tend to get forgetful. That's why I needed a watch that I could rely heavily on its automation, but unfortunately, it turned out to be unreliable. However, the HRM and SPO2 seemed to be reasonable with no irregular spikes or ebbs. Additionally, after the third week, I noticed a battery drain. On the third recharging, the watch was charged in the evening to a full charge, I put it on and lay latent until I went to bed. By the following morning, the battery charge had dropped to 66%.

Even though the watch is not serving my own needs and lifestyle, I would still recommend it for someone who would use it to track their overall wellness level in a lifestyle different than mine.
Thanks for detailed feedback. I appreciate you sharing your experience. Over time I noticed that automatic resume wasn't as accurate as I'd like it to be so I turned that off. Granted I don't record my rides as I have advanced computer on my bike. Not sure about the accuracy over more urban areas. My experience with tracking was pretty good. Then again I don't live in place with multi story buildings which helps for sure. I'm glad you have received refund as the most important thing is to be happy with purchase or not regretting picking up item. I had an instance of battery drain like you after a firmware update. But then next week I had another firmware update and factory reset returned the watch to normal consumption. I use it daily and right now I get about a week which is more less what I'm expecting. I only miss NFC payments.
Much appreciated pal I am just after returning the Huawei GT3 PRO because the battery lasted 3 days and was repaired twice. This is cheaper and has everything i need. Thank u.
Great review! I read elsewhere it had a buggy restarting behavior.. Where it would freeze and restart every now and then.. Does that still happen or is it fixed now?
Amazing video. Have a couple of questions. How accurate is the steps count and spo2 sensor and sleep tracking? I'm coming from a galaxy watch and reliability is one thing that makes me a bit skeptical about buying this watch.
Sleep tracking times are spot on. Phase sleep measures I have no way of verifying but a friend who study sleep sciences says they are pretty much made up. Spo2 is automatic which is nice but I have no way of verifying if the readouts are accurate. Steps are on point. It tells you when you are about to miss your step goal and shows you live counter of steps to meet the goal
I do the same switch and you will love the GTR 3 Pro. The battery Life is awesome and the Sensors are working very well an acurrate. I use the watch since 2 weeks and i already sell my old active watch 2
I haven't noticed any but if I'm honest I do live in suburban area without anything causing GPS issues. Anyone in the city with high buildings may have different experience
The battery alone makes the device worth looking at. I don;t care for most of fancy features like watch replies etc... so for me that's a great wearable
I'm glad you found it helpful. There is more to the watch, I could talk about waterproof rating, actual compass app with the inclination offset which actually helps navigating, making quick run playlist on the watch, but we would be here for another 20 min :D
@@notenoughtech Hi Mat, I'm a runner and have used Garmin GPS watches for years. Mine is due for an update so I'm considering an alternative to Garmin. The Coros Vertix 2 looks good, as does this GTR 3 Pro. So I value real time pace, heart rate, and distance accuracy.
I have other things planned so I didn't get to test 3D GPS option properly but for my logging I was happy with the normal mode. In the video I highlighted the bit that was a little more off the track than I was (if maps can be trusted) but overall distance over 3km was pretty much what other ways of tracking logged so im more than happy. I'm impressed with the data available after the run as there is enough data to analyse for ages. A full screenshot is in the article
How accurate are the: 1) step counter (important) 2) heart rate counter (important) 3) spO2 counter 4) GPS (important) Also, is it too big for a petite lady who has really slim wrists?
Step counter seems to be on point. It has challenges where it asks you to complete X steps before deadline showing you steps as you go. That's on point. Heart rate is accurate but note all observations about wearing it correctly. Its important. SPO2 god knows. I would have to traverse some mountains to find out haha GPS it has increased accuracy mode which (3d) which drains battery quicker.i found standard to be good enough for my runs on Strava. As per size... Strap can go pretty small. How big will it look on your wrist? Its a matter of taste I'm afraid. Accessorize well and you make it look good for sure :)
This watch is missing very important feature... Converting your voice reply to any SMS or emails. I can't reply to any SMS by voicing. Watch has very limited for replying.
Right now quick responses are enabled but it won't support voice typing as it's not a Wear OS device. This is closer to a smart and than a smart watch. I call these hybrid watches. They benefit from battery performance as you won't find similar battery life on proper smart watches
Personally, it would come down to a design. Not every feature I care about, but I do care about how it looks like on my wrist - and that's a very subjective way to look at it. Considering that both watches are similar in what they offer - it would come down to the looks.
Bit too late here but what do you mean by it doesn't have NFC? I have been considering this watch for like a month and I've been doing a lot of searches on google and youtube. If I search if GTR 3 Pro does have NFC it says it does. Maybe they changed it?
It doesn't support Android pay. You can use WeChat based payments cause they are QR enabled. The model I reviewed definitely doesn't have the NFC payments
@@notenoughtech haha yes i was so eager when I saw the first seconds of the review, but now when I went through the video you said it and showed it! I need this smartwatch now and I really hope that it will be released in Sweden also! Thanks for a really Great Great educational video!💥💥
I'm glad I could help you make your mind up. I have to say the watch had issues with time change not reflecting for me but s reboot got the time resynced.
Great review. But wanted to know what should we prefer more battery or OS/features. I'm Confused between GTR 3 pro (good battery) and samsung galaxy watch 4 ( wearos3 but less battery life). Can you guide me.
Its down to what you prefer I'm afraid. I care about notifications, good sport tracking and music so I can leave my phone behind. I care little about replying from watch or having WiFi on it. What do you care about most?
Google search pops up that this has Blood pressure reading but i dont see it. The cheap military one has it but its inaccurate any recommendations on a smart watch with BP readings?
Not this model. I don't recommend blood pressure anyway. If you watch on UA-cam what's required and how often you need to calibrate vs know standard it makes it almost pointless to include these in even the best smart watches
Only bothers me a little when exercising. Otherwise I never considered it to be problematic. It's noticeable when I'm rowing and trying to look at the watch between strokes without moving my hand off the handle
Can you make a detailed video of calling feature? Like normally I wear earbuds, so when someone calls me and if I answer the call from my watch, so will the audio from the person calling me will come through the earbuds or the watch? And during an ongoing call do we have an option to change the audio from watch to phone and vice-versa? Please let me know. Thanks
Earbuds get precedence over watch. I haven't seen options to transfer the call to the watch if I'm honest. You can answer it from the watch which is just an "answer" action and call continues via phone. To do it over watch you need to initiate it from the watch itself.
They are tailored differently. A bigger battery may suits your need more. I wanted the music storage. I'm against calling mine best, as people value features differently. Make a list of features for each then pick the ones you care about most.. you will get the best watch for your needs.
I'm with you on the choice also. Even if you have NFC on your watch you have to constantly type in your code and whatever lock you set up to unlock it in order to use NFC payments. I would love to have Google Assistant but it's not a wear OS watch so it's never going to happen, I made piece with that. Did you have a chance to play around with "home connect" from the new app store? Great and honest review by the way.
Are you not able to pay without an unlock? Do you have to apply watch lock to do this? That would be very annoying. I will check that home connect at some point but since I have Alexa I'm pretty much sorted with automation :) it's quicker than opening a watch app
🤦 not that useful then. Contactless cards don't have locks. It would be nice to authorize payments without the lock if you were connected to your watch in the last 24h up to 3 times.
But why google assistant is pure trash, it never works even on my pixel Alexa is way better than google assistant, at least it works yeah that is really bad never knew that about NFC payments on smartwatches maybe they could make one with an embedded fingerprint scanner in the screen , but then again I never use biometrics also wonder how NFC would affect battery life
bro i m going to purchase gtr 3 pro but little worried fot its durability, as i never used any smart watch before. How long will gtr 3pro last bcz its price is almost the same as a good mobile??
As in battery or the hardware? It's still on my hand and I work in environment where I have to put my hands inside metal machines so it's exposed to scratching and damage. Still good. Battery about a week with most things set to max settings
You seem to speak very highly about this Amazfit variant. I already have Fossil and TicWatch latest models and although they're good, I've encountered small things that took away from the great experience. I've just ordered the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro and will see if it's the one :)
@@notenoughtech I'm glad to hear that. I have a quick question if you don't mind. If you're using the watch by itself without the phone and then connect it with the app later, will it automatically update your steps and workouts? Because I've had issues with Huawei smartwatchs before not syncing properly with the Huawei health app. Thanks
My experience will be based on running as it's pretty much the only time I'm far away from my phone to test it. The sync happens when you get back in range and you will see the steps and workouts in app. Worse case you'd need open the app to resync but I haven't noticed missing data
Does this have a little red dot on the always on display to show if you have notifications? Also does it have an option to receive notifications without waking up the screen and showing the notification?
You can suppress the notification either in settings and don't enable the screen or use theatre mode to do it temporarily. I don't believe you have a "pending" notification on the display but this could be also watchface specific
How many wearables do you have now :P. That said, 2GB and the features, this one does look good. What operating system does this run? It almost looks like a rip off of Tizen
It's Zepp OS. It's still closer to a smart band than smartwatch in that regard but it has everything I really need from a wearable. I sold my mi Watch as I really needed to offset the price of purchase. Plus smart watches doesn't look as good in the box
Nothing more annoying than charging these every night. When I tell ppl with proper smartwatches what's my battery life is they really get jealous of that 🤭
Hay it's not 25 days like the original but anything over a week and I'm a happy person. I always thought what's the point of sleep tracking if you have to change it every 2nd night :)
It has "a store" but these are more optional apps from Amazfit than anything remotely like Google play. WiFi is present but only used for music sync. Watch stays connected via BT with phone to get updates
@@notenoughtech I'm new to smartwatches and this is my first one. So what I'm trying to understand is: is Wi-Fi therefore unnecessary? Is having just Bluetooth enough?
WiFi allows you to get notifications when you are away from the phone or phone is dead as it links to your accounts and pulls data from the internet. This watch uses Bluetooth so you need to be in proximity of the phone (usually 10m) and you will receive all notifications available on your phone. Note this acts more like a sports band than android based watch as it's passive. You cant reply to notifications or start a conversation nor you have the access to app store. But on the plus side you get great battery life. If you care about having notifications on your wrist you will be happy. If you trying to replace your phone with a watch you are not going to like this one
@@notenoughtech Thanks a lot for the fast replies. I just have one more question. I want a stylish watch with Wi-Fi and NFC and app store. I don't care much about fitness and heart monitoring. What do you recommend? (I'm using a Xiaomi phone) I don't mind any watch brand, as long as it works with any phone.
"stylish" will be very subjective. As my preference will be different to yours. I dislike square watches. And love the Amazfit devices look (round ones) of you want to go for a WiFi enabled device bear in mind your battery life will end up closer to 2-3 days at best rather than 2 weeks or more.
As I haven't used Huawei wearables, I wouldn't be able to give you a competent optinion. I can only outline what I liked about this model on it's own and hope you will compare it to how it stacks against the one on your wrist
Hey can you help me i have amazfit gtr 3 pro and when i run at the gym on the track about 16kmh at 3:40 avg on the watch it show avg speed 5 and avg peac 7 8 min can you help me how to fix it
Are you using GPS? There is an option for threadmill run, use that and at the end of the run you have to enter the distance ran. It will recalculate for speed.
No, it doesn't. I had a chance to look at blood pressure on Apple watch and the process is complex, with frequent calibrations against a proper device, and harsh requirements to complete the test. It's not a good substitute
@@notenoughtech thank you for such fast feedback! So as far as i understood, the watch suits more for simple musical accompaniment not for audiobook playback? And please one more question, music on the watch can be listened via wireless bt headphones?
I'd say it depends on your wrist size rather than anything else. I found the PRO to have the perfect size for my hand and I'm not keen on overly big watches.
I run this against wahoo element roam with chest strap and rox 10 from sigma sport with chest strap. Readings are on spot. It's not the quality of the HR sensor that is low. Wearables are at the disadvantage as they have to measure in the specific spot to get accurate readings. This problem affects more expensive devices too
It now supports the smart replies. The same ones that are embedded into android notifications. So it works with all apps that use the prediction for replying
@@Papucescu why not? They have great return policies so if you live with the fact that they are notorious tax avoiders.... You will be looked after as a customer
I have the gtr 2 and I like it very much. The ECG function is what might make me buy the GTR 3 Pro if I knew that these functions work even without the approval of certain health offices in many countries,
You have alerts but they are not voice guide alerts. You get a tone to let you know a threshold is reached but you need to check the watchface yourself to see what's up
ive watched over 30 videos about this watch ...and you are most detailed in workout section...especially my favourite ..outdoor cycling ..thnx ...im waiting for the watch on 27 december
In my opinion it's a great watch. I wouldn't use it for cycling personally as I have a dedicated cycling computer for this (also I prefer it this way) but with Bluetooth music and GPS it's a great solution for casual rides when you want to leave stuff behind. Vibrating is strong and you can set custom patterns. On the bike you may miss some of the alerts on shaking tarmac but for other things it feels adequate. From my long term thoughts I only miss the ability to display pending notifications on my phone and ability to interact with pre-defined options like "like" or "reply suggested"
Personally, you know what I'm going to say.. but I can't be impartial as I have not tried the other one. Hope someone else would chip in. If this helps, I'm still wearing it even though I could afford another one.
I have scoured UA-cam for a real complete review of this watch. Everyone talks about the watch face and workout, none of the other features are given any attention what so ever. 1. Biometric Sensor is excellent. Heart rate, blood oxygen shows correctly, skin temperature is pretty useless as it's not your body temperature. 2. All work out features and GPS and 150 types of workouts all designed well. Watch is waterproof, can be used in shower and swimming. Screen can be locked while in the water. 3. Can take and make phone calls. Do not see a SMS application but can receive and reply to SMS messages with presets. The audio is very clear on both ends. 4. SMS, Phone, WhatsApp, FB Messenger all show who is calling and take, reject and reply with presets. This feature to see who is calling is not available in so many different phones including Huawei Band 7. 5. Contact list is 50 contacts. 6. Offline voice is limited cannot call a person in your contact list but does a bunch of other things 7. Alexa is only available in supported countries, so there is a good chance it's not available in your country. 8. To do and grocery list is available. Voice memos are also available. 9. Cannot launch play or control Spotify but allows you to play mp3 and stuff either downloaded into the watch or on the phone. 10. Barometer and the altitude reading is pretty accurate
Honestly I haven't tried it. I use like 2 faces as I' not that keen into heavy customisation. If the app says it supports the model, can't see why it wouldn't plus every months you have new faces added to amazfit/zepp app
Follow as in route tracking? No. You can set goals for distance and intensity. I don't believe you can do proper intervals but you can set threshold and monitor it that was
It can't but blood pressure sensors on watches aren't too good. Even apple one needs calibration every X days against real machine in order to give you readings. So you may as well get a proper one instead
Watch is too big for sports use. I went from a Galaxy Active 2 (smaller watch) to this and it's too big and heavy. I use the watch to track my miles while I play soccer, and I often feel a pain at the top of my hand from my wrist. Also it does not work well with my Galaxy phone. As far apps go it's VERY limited, want new watch faces guess what you have to pay for them, NO FREE additional watch faces.
Are you sure you are looking at the same watch? Size will of course dependant of the size of your wrist. Not much can be done with it. I think GTS series had 2 sizes? (If I'm not mistaken) . As per watch faces, at the time of the review all of them were free. I just had a look and lots has changed about that. There are still free ones but definitely in smaller numbers so I can appreciate the frustration
I fall asleep usually within 2-5 min and have a good recollection of my wake ups at night. It corresponds with what data I see on the watch and score seem to correspond with how I feel in the morning.
@@notenoughtech Thanks, that was very helpful. I'm between waiting for the GTR 3 or an immediate buy of the GTR 2, but the latter was discredited for being very inaccurate in tracking pulse and sleep cycles. Any idea on the GTR 2 since you sound quite dilligent in your approach in evaluating such devices?
@@menifo4334 i considered GTR2 for some time before but as a GTR owner it didn't bring that much to the table to justify it. I think GTR3 Pro is definitely worth the attention. I understand the price can be issue for some but if that spend is within your reach you won't regret it
@@notenoughtech Price is not an issue as I always go for the option that will best serve my needs, no shortcuts. I consider your assessment as a reliable one, so I'm definitely waiting for the GTR 3. Thank you for taking the time to reply and for sharing your personal experience. 👍
You will be pleased to say that other than "ok" button in menu for renaming watch in Chinese nothing appears to be broken with this one. There was an issue with weather app on launch but was fixed within 5 days with a firmware update.
Unfortunately my partner beats me in terms of wearables and shoes. I have a long way to go. (I have sold my Mi Watch to a colleague of mine to offset the price of the Amazfit)

I read elsewhere it had a buggy restarting behavior.. Where it would freeze and restart every now and then.. Does that still happen or is it fixed now?
I reset mine twice (phones change) can't day I noticed anything odd
Thanks for the very nice review. This looks like a very nice smart watch.
Now with added smart replies I like it even better :) hope you will find it the same
Which is best to buy Amazfit gtr 3 pro vs Amazfit gtr 4 ?
Amazing video. Have a couple of questions. How accurate is the steps count and spo2 sensor and sleep tracking? I'm coming from a galaxy watch and reliability is one thing that makes me a bit skeptical about buying this watch.
Sleep tracking times are spot on. Phase sleep measures I have no way of verifying but a friend who study sleep sciences says they are pretty much made up.
Spo2 is automatic which is nice but I have no way of verifying if the readouts are accurate. Steps are on point. It tells you when you are about to miss your step goal and shows you live counter of steps to meet the goal
I do the same switch and you will love the GTR 3 Pro. The battery Life is awesome and the Sensors are working very well an acurrate. I use the watch since 2 weeks and i already sell my old active watch 2
These watches are Gold for Bikers. 🖤
Just need to be careful with gloves if you care about the heart rate accuracy
thanks for review, one question, does it have any unread notification icon on main screen? thx
No it doesn't. Its a shame though as it would be useful
Thanks for the review. Do you have issue connecting to GPS? I have this issue on my Huawei GT2 which is pretty annoying. Looking to buy this watch
I haven't noticed any but if I'm honest I do live in suburban area without anything causing GPS issues. Anyone in the city with high buildings may have different experience
@@notenoughtech Thank you for your reply! Really help me for my decision making.
I'm happy you find it useful :) I hope you will be happy
Great review! On my wrist there’s an Apple Watch 6, which I’m so bitterly disappointed with. Presently I look around to get a replacement.
The battery alone makes the device worth looking at. I don;t care for most of fancy features like watch replies etc... so for me that's a great wearable
Great video . Does Alexa respond with sound/ voice? or just visuals? thanks
Just visual. I was not able to set it to use the watch speaker (I don't mind personally but option would be nice )
Thanks for the excellent review 👍🏻
Does Alexa work directly using WiFi or it requires a Bluetooth connection?
It uses BT only. The watch uses WiFi only to transfer files
Wish they kept the original design. Looks better. Thinking about just getting the old one. No BT calling though on the old one.
I kinda like the new one. Its a mater of taste of course. The old one is still a decent watch and I seen it online for about 50£
@@notenoughtech well the old one kinda of out dated on specs I see. Only can store 3 watch faces.
Are we talking about GTR?
@@notenoughtech yeah. I'll probably get the 3 Pro but I like the look of the GTR 1.
Great review thanks!!
I'm glad you found it helpful. There is more to the watch, I could talk about waterproof rating, actual compass app with the inclination offset which actually helps navigating, making quick run playlist on the watch, but we would be here for another 20 min :D
@@notenoughtech Hi Mat, I'm a runner and have used Garmin GPS watches for years. Mine is due for an update so I'm considering an alternative to Garmin. The Coros Vertix 2 looks good, as does this GTR 3 Pro. So I value real time pace, heart rate, and distance accuracy.
I have other things planned so I didn't get to test 3D GPS option properly but for my logging I was happy with the normal mode. In the video I highlighted the bit that was a little more off the track than I was (if maps can be trusted) but overall distance over 3km was pretty much what other ways of tracking logged so im more than happy.
I'm impressed with the data available after the run as there is enough data to analyse for ages. A full screenshot is in the article
Thank you for the video. Would you recommend this over Garmin 1 or 2 std ones?
as I haven't used garmin watches so I cannot compare direclty but recently GTR3 got the smart replies upgrades.
@@notenoughtech thank you 😊 much appreciated
Hi. Is Alexa hands-free, always listening or do u have to press a button to activate her? Crap, I think u just mentioned it. Lol.
Offline command listens on screen wake Alexa needs button interaction
Between Huawei Watch Gt 3 and Amazfit Gtr 3 Pro,which one do you recommend?
I haven't used the other one so I'd say pick the one with the features you care about the most.
How accurate are the:
1) step counter (important)
2) heart rate counter (important)
3) spO2 counter
4) GPS (important)
Also, is it too big for a petite lady who has really slim wrists?
Step counter seems to be on point. It has challenges where it asks you to complete X steps before deadline showing you steps as you go. That's on point.
Heart rate is accurate but note all observations about wearing it correctly. Its important.
SPO2 god knows. I would have to traverse some mountains to find out haha
GPS it has increased accuracy mode which (3d) which drains battery quicker.i found standard to be good enough for my runs on Strava.
As per size... Strap can go pretty small. How big will it look on your wrist? Its a matter of taste I'm afraid. Accessorize well and you make it look good for sure :)
This watch is missing very important feature... Converting your voice reply to any SMS or emails.
I can't reply to any SMS by voicing. Watch has very limited for replying.
Right now quick responses are enabled but it won't support voice typing as it's not a Wear OS device. This is closer to a smart and than a smart watch. I call these hybrid watches. They benefit from battery performance as you won't find similar battery life on proper smart watches
Thanks for this fantastic review. I'm finally quitting Apple watch for this one👌
I hope you will be as happy as me!
Is it worth to choose GTR 3 over Apple Watch SE & Fossil Gen 5 ?
is GTS 3 better? What's the difference other than speaker?
Personally I like round watches better. Other than this difference is very small.
If you had to choose between the gtr and huawei gt3 which one would you buy? And why?
Personally, it would come down to a design. Not every feature I care about, but I do care about how it looks like on my wrist - and that's a very subjective way to look at it. Considering that both watches are similar in what they offer - it would come down to the looks.
What's your verdict on the latest amazfit GTR4? Please review tqsm!
If I get my hands on it. :)
Bit too late here but what do you mean by it doesn't have NFC? I have been considering this watch for like a month and I've been doing a lot of searches on google and youtube. If I search if GTR 3 Pro does have NFC it says it does. Maybe they changed it?
It doesn't support Android pay. You can use WeChat based payments cause they are QR enabled. The model I reviewed definitely doesn't have the NFC payments
Which is better this or the GTR 4 in terms of features like resolution and calling from watch?
I don't have the GTR4 so I can't really comment on this
How about the GTR 3 pro limited edition vs. the GTR 3 pro what is the difference between them both?
@@fredreed2001 from my understanding its the physical design only
So you can change the direction of the watch so you can have the buttons on the left side if you have the watch on your right hand!?.
yes, you can customise that and quick release straps are helpful to swap the orientation of the strap
@@notenoughtech haha yes i was so eager when I saw the first seconds of the review, but now when I went through the video you said it and showed it! I need this smartwatch now and I really hope that it will be released in Sweden also! Thanks for a really Great Great educational video!💥💥
I'm glad I could help you make your mind up. I have to say the watch had issues with time change not reflecting for me but s reboot got the time resynced.
@@notenoughtech ok good to know! Thanks again!😊
Great review. But wanted to know what should we prefer more battery or OS/features. I'm Confused between GTR 3 pro (good battery) and samsung galaxy watch 4 ( wearos3 but less battery life). Can you guide me.
Its down to what you prefer I'm afraid. I care about notifications, good sport tracking and music so I can leave my phone behind. I care little about replying from watch or having WiFi on it.
What do you care about most?
@@notenoughtech For me, I want to have best sleep tracking and sports / fitness details (calories burn, steps, mileage and more..)
Gtr 3 pro
would u choose this over the GTS 3?
Clearly I have :)
I cared about the music storage more than about the battery life
Google search pops up that this has Blood pressure reading but i dont see it. The cheap military one has it but its inaccurate any recommendations on a smart watch with BP readings?
Not this model. I don't recommend blood pressure anyway. If you watch on UA-cam what's required and how often you need to calibrate vs know standard it makes it almost pointless to include these in even the best smart watches
On my wrist now is Apple watch 7 but I'm considering buying amazfit gtr 3 pro or gtr4 😁😁
As gtr pro 4 is a similar price... Going the latest won't be a bad move. I'm still on the #3 one and I'm happy
Dont you think that that "raise/wake up" works very slow?
Only bothers me a little when exercising. Otherwise I never considered it to be problematic. It's noticeable when I'm rowing and trying to look at the watch between strokes without moving my hand off the handle
Can you make a detailed video of calling feature?
Like normally I wear earbuds, so when someone calls me and if I answer the call from my watch, so will the audio from the person calling me will come through the earbuds or the watch? And during an ongoing call do we have an option to change the audio from watch to phone and vice-versa?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Earbuds get precedence over watch. I haven't seen options to transfer the call to the watch if I'm honest. You can answer it from the watch which is just an "answer" action and call continues via phone. To do it over watch you need to initiate it from the watch itself.
Between Gtr 3 and Gtr 3 pro, which is the best ?
They are tailored differently. A bigger battery may suits your need more. I wanted the music storage. I'm against calling mine best, as people value features differently. Make a list of features for each then pick the ones you care about most.. you will get the best watch for your needs.
@@notenoughtech ok, thanks
Great review
Do you know if you can connect hart rate strap to the watch?
I don't believe you can
That's the reason I sold my gtr2 for a Garmin Venu. I would switch back immediately to Amazfit if they would support external heat rate sensors.
Waiting for Amazfit watch with bp sensor, got one with heart rate sensor.
If it's anything like the apple one... I'll pass.
during cycling . can we use the virtual pacer ?
You have settings for time and speed based prompts. They have even reminders to use water
Thank you.
Pleasure Ron ☺️
I'm with you on the choice also. Even if you have NFC on your watch you have to constantly type in your code and whatever lock you set up to unlock it in order to use NFC payments. I would love to have Google Assistant but it's not a wear OS watch so it's never going to happen, I made piece with that.
Did you have a chance to play around with "home connect" from the new app store? Great and honest review by the way.
Are you not able to pay without an unlock? Do you have to apply watch lock to do this? That would be very annoying.
I will check that home connect at some point but since I have Alexa I'm pretty much sorted with automation :) it's quicker than opening a watch app
@@notenoughtech Most wear OS watches require a lock just in case if you loose your watch so no one else can use it to pay.
🤦 not that useful then. Contactless cards don't have locks. It would be nice to authorize payments without the lock if you were connected to your watch in the last 24h up to 3 times.
But why google assistant is pure trash, it never works even on my pixel
Alexa is way better than google assistant, at least it works
yeah that is really bad never knew that about NFC payments on smartwatches
maybe they could make one with an embedded fingerprint scanner in the screen , but then again I never use biometrics also wonder how NFC would affect battery life
NFC activates when payment screen is selected so battery wouldn't be a concern.
bro i m going to purchase gtr 3 pro but little worried fot its durability, as i never used any smart watch before. How long will gtr 3pro last bcz its price is almost the same as a good mobile??
As in battery or the hardware? It's still on my hand and I work in environment where I have to put my hands inside metal machines so it's exposed to scratching and damage. Still good. Battery about a week with most things set to max settings
You seem to speak very highly about this Amazfit variant. I already have Fossil and TicWatch latest models and although they're good, I've encountered small things that took away from the great experience. I've just ordered the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro and will see if it's the one :)
Hope you will like it equally. Still on my wrist and still happy with it.
@@notenoughtech I'm glad to hear that. I have a quick question if you don't mind. If you're using the watch by itself without the phone and then connect it with the app later, will it automatically update your steps and workouts? Because I've had issues with Huawei smartwatchs before not syncing properly with the Huawei health app.
Thanks
My experience will be based on running as it's pretty much the only time I'm far away from my phone to test it. The sync happens when you get back in range and you will see the steps and workouts in app.
Worse case you'd need open the app to resync but I haven't noticed missing data
Apart from looks is there any real difference over gt2 pro?
Brighter display, more sensor data and better hR monitor. Music on board smart replies although I'm not sure if they are also on previous model
Which would you recommend xiaomi mi watch or amazfit gtr 3 pro?
Having Xiaomi one i prefer the Amazfit. Its not a bad watch from Xiaomi bit I care more about the music storage
Does this have a little red dot on the always on display to show if you have notifications? Also does it have an option to receive notifications without waking up the screen and showing the notification?
You can suppress the notification either in settings and don't enable the screen or use theatre mode to do it temporarily. I don't believe you have a "pending" notification on the display but this could be also watchface specific
@@notenoughtech thanks for the quick reply!
Nice review again :)
Thank you
How many wearables do you have now :P.
That said, 2GB and the features, this one does look good.
What operating system does this run? It almost looks like a rip off of Tizen
It's Zepp OS.
It's still closer to a smart band than smartwatch in that regard but it has everything I really need from a wearable.
I sold my mi Watch as I really needed to offset the price of purchase. Plus smart watches doesn't look as good in the box
@@notenoughtech It sounds like a good balance between Smart Watch and Fitness band. Functional without the rubbish that drains the battery fast
Nothing more annoying than charging these every night. When I tell ppl with proper smartwatches what's my battery life is they really get jealous of that 🤭
@@notenoughtech I use to thinkSamsung did well getting 1 1/2 to 2 days with Tizen, but yeah. I am jealous of this one 🙂
Hay it's not 25 days like the original but anything over a week and I'm a happy person. I always thought what's the point of sleep tracking if you have to change it every 2nd night :)
Hello. I know that it doesn't have NFC. Does it at least have WiFi and App store? And which one do you suggest, this or Huawei GT2 Pro?
It has "a store" but these are more optional apps from Amazfit than anything remotely like Google play. WiFi is present but only used for music sync. Watch stays connected via BT with phone to get updates
@@notenoughtech I'm new to smartwatches and this is my first one. So what I'm trying to understand is: is Wi-Fi therefore unnecessary? Is having just Bluetooth enough?
WiFi allows you to get notifications when you are away from the phone or phone is dead as it links to your accounts and pulls data from the internet. This watch uses Bluetooth so you need to be in proximity of the phone (usually 10m) and you will receive all notifications available on your phone. Note this acts more like a sports band than android based watch as it's passive. You cant reply to notifications or start a conversation nor you have the access to app store. But on the plus side you get great battery life. If you care about having notifications on your wrist you will be happy. If you trying to replace your phone with a watch you are not going to like this one
@@notenoughtech Thanks a lot for the fast replies. I just have one more question. I want a stylish watch with Wi-Fi and NFC and app store. I don't care much about fitness and heart monitoring. What do you recommend? (I'm using a Xiaomi phone) I don't mind any watch brand, as long as it works with any phone.
"stylish" will be very subjective. As my preference will be different to yours. I dislike square watches. And love the Amazfit devices look (round ones) of you want to go for a WiFi enabled device bear in mind your battery life will end up closer to 2-3 days at best rather than 2 weeks or more.
Very good work! I am using a Huawei GT2 Pro
Looks really nice online! How are you find it?
I bought it on Amazon Spain
Thank you for a great review! I have a question.......can anyone tell me if it is possible to charge the watch using your smartphone?
You would need a cable. The one supplied is usb-a. Fortunately you only need 2h every week or so. It's not an issue really
No
Currently, I'm using Huawei watch fit since 2020 and I'm planning to buy new smart watch, is grt 3 pro a good replace for my smartwatch?
As I haven't used Huawei wearables, I wouldn't be able to give you a competent optinion. I can only outline what I liked about this model on it's own and hope you will compare it to how it stacks against the one on your wrist
Hey can you help me i have amazfit gtr 3 pro and when i run at the gym on the track about 16kmh at 3:40 avg on the watch it show avg speed 5 and avg peac 7 8 min can you help me how to fix it
Are you using GPS? There is an option for threadmill run, use that and at the end of the run you have to enter the distance ran. It will recalculate for speed.
@@notenoughtech i fix it but thank you
Still can not activate blood pressure function in Europe?
Not on this model, at the same time looking at the apple implementation of it - I would never use that.
@@notenoughtech chinese model of gtr 3 pro has the blood pressure function which can be activated. Looks it has own firmware.
It wouldn't be the first time when China has their own SKU of the product
Does it allow blood pressure measurement?
No, it doesn't. I had a chance to look at blood pressure on Apple watch and the process is complex, with frequent calibrations against a proper device, and harsh requirements to complete the test. It's not a good substitute
Please advise, is there possibility to rewind musik on this watch? necessary for audiobook listening
I haven't tried that. I'm sure you can skip chapters like you would with skip,back playback options but there is no progress bar that you can control
@@notenoughtech thank you for such fast feedback! So as far as i understood, the watch suits more for simple musical accompaniment not for audiobook playback? And please one more question, music on the watch can be listened via wireless bt headphones?
You can use watch to control phone playback or play music directly from watch to headphones. Sadly no advanced controls for audiobook :(
Is the heart rate band connected to this watch?
I never tried it if I'm honest
Hello, thanks for the video. Can you change fonts size?
I don't believe you can. I haven't seen the option anywhere
Why the 2 buttons on your watch is on the other side? Make for left hand?
You can flip these to your preference in settings
@@notenoughtech Thats cool, thanks
does it support Strava?
Yes
Hi. Does the display size make a big difference between GTR3 and GTR3 Pro ?
I'd say it depends on your wrist size rather than anything else. I found the PRO to have the perfect size for my hand and I'm not keen on overly big watches.
@@notenoughtech Thanks Bud
@@notenoughtech Oh wait, the watch button is on the left side instead of right side? I noticed you wear it on right hand.
did you compare HR monitor with other devices? amazfit has low quality HR sensors
I run this against wahoo element roam with chest strap and rox 10 from sigma sport with chest strap. Readings are on spot. It's not the quality of the HR sensor that is low. Wearables are at the disadvantage as they have to measure in the specific spot to get accurate readings. This problem affects more expensive devices too
I connected it to iphone but don't know how to use Alexa feature!
You need to download Alexa app and link it in the Zepp app
Does it support replying and what apps support this feature?
It now supports the smart replies. The same ones that are embedded into android notifications. So it works with all apps that use the prediction for replying
How is accuracy of sensors and quality of speakers?
Speaker is pretty decent considering the size. Can't verify the sp02 but heart rate is on point, skin temp is also recording correctly
@@notenoughtech You're awesome to reply so fast. I'm planning to buy GTR 3 pro tomorrow after looking at your review. Thanks 👍
Between anazfit gtr3 pro and gtr4; Which is better?
From behind is plastic?
Can you take phone calls?
yes, it works just like a bluetooth headset
You can make clock calls? (I say that because I saw an icon on the clock with ``phone ,, )
Yes you can initiate a call from the watch
@@notenoughtech and one more question, is it safe to order it from Amazon?
@@Papucescu why not? They have great return policies so if you live with the fact that they are notorious tax avoiders.... You will be looked after as a customer
@@notenoughtech I was reffering if it's okay to pay by card on Amazon
I have the gtr 2 and I like it very much. The ECG function is what might make me buy the GTR 3 Pro if I knew that these functions work even without the approval of certain health offices in many countries,
Fair enough :)
Does it have ecg?
No. Just heart rate sensor
@@notenoughtech any circular watch with ecg
Not that I'm aware I'm afraid.
does it have voice promts when you riding bicycle ...for hr ...for km ...for time ..
You have alerts but they are not voice guide alerts. You get a tone to let you know a threshold is reached but you need to check the watchface yourself to see what's up
@@notenoughtech i guess its like vibration alert ..like in amazfit pace
ive watched over 30 videos about this watch ...and you are most detailed in workout section...especially my favourite ..outdoor cycling ..thnx ...im waiting for the watch on 27 december
In my opinion it's a great watch. I wouldn't use it for cycling personally as I have a dedicated cycling computer for this (also I prefer it this way) but with Bluetooth music and GPS it's a great solution for casual rides when you want to leave stuff behind.
Vibrating is strong and you can set custom patterns. On the bike you may miss some of the alerts on shaking tarmac but for other things it feels adequate.
From my long term thoughts I only miss the ability to display pending notifications on my phone and ability to interact with pre-defined options like "like" or "reply suggested"
Do you know if "Find my watch" works with iphone
I don't own Apple devices. I can't think of reasons why it wouldn't it only trigger sound via BT
Can I directly connect the watch to WiFi ? And reply iMessages ?
Wifi is only for file transfer. Replies now are possible but only for notifications which include smart replies
Does it have maps, navigations?
No it doesn't have active mapping unless app on the phone provides you with meaningful notifications to be displayed as notifications
How much battery would you get with AOD?
Frankly speaking not tested it.. I'd say about 4- days depending on other settings
how's the wifi work ???and what for
Just for file transfer
is there a way to group/order uploaded music by album?
You would have to group the albums as playlists - I don't see any options for automatically selecting the tracks by album
Guys what do u think. Amazfit GTR3 pro or Huawei GT2 pro? Thanks
Personally, you know what I'm going to say.. but I can't be impartial as I have not tried the other one. Hope someone else would chip in. If this helps, I'm still wearing it even though I could afford another one.
I have scoured UA-cam for a real complete review of this watch. Everyone talks about the watch face and workout, none of the other features are given any attention what so ever.
1. Biometric Sensor is excellent. Heart rate, blood oxygen shows correctly, skin temperature is pretty useless as it's not your body temperature.
2. All work out features and GPS and 150 types of workouts all designed well. Watch is waterproof, can be used in shower and swimming. Screen can be locked while in the water.
3. Can take and make phone calls. Do not see a SMS application but can receive and reply to SMS messages with presets. The audio is very clear on both ends.
4. SMS, Phone, WhatsApp, FB Messenger all show who is calling and take, reject and reply with presets. This feature to see who is calling is not available in so many different phones including Huawei Band 7.
5. Contact list is 50 contacts.
6. Offline voice is limited cannot call a person in your contact list but does a bunch of other things
7. Alexa is only available in supported countries, so there is a good chance it's not available in your country.
8. To do and grocery list is available. Voice memos are also available.
9. Cannot launch play or control Spotify but allows you to play mp3 and stuff either downloaded into the watch or on the phone.
10. Barometer and the altitude reading is pretty accurate
Thanks for the extra info.
Bro does amazfaces app work on gtr 3 pro??
Honestly I haven't tried it. I use like 2 faces as I' not that keen into heavy customisation. If the app says it supports the model, can't see why it wouldn't plus every months you have new faces added to amazfit/zepp app
Can you get spotify on this watch?
You cannot at the moment. There is an "app store" but it's not a traditional one. You will be able to control the playback on your phone though
@@notenoughtech
Okay
Amazfit gtr 3 pro vs Huawei GT 2 pro?
Can't help you much. Not even seen Huawei one in person.
excellent review, two questions, is it possible to follow a route track in training mode ?, and is it possible to program interval running workouts?
Follow as in route tracking? No. You can set goals for distance and intensity. I don't believe you can do proper intervals but you can set threshold and monitor it that was
@@notenoughtech thanks!
Bro i have samsung a52 will grt 3 pro work good with samsung???
Can't comment on that as I have not tried that phone, but unless there is something odd about the ROM it comes with - it should be fine
Chak blood pressure?
It can't but blood pressure sensors on watches aren't too good. Even apple one needs calibration every X days against real machine in order to give you readings. So you may as well get a proper one instead
Watch is too big for sports use. I went from a Galaxy Active 2 (smaller watch) to this and it's too big and heavy. I use the watch to track my miles while I play soccer, and I often feel a pain at the top of my hand from my wrist. Also it does not work well with my Galaxy phone. As far apps go it's VERY limited, want new watch faces guess what you have to pay for them, NO FREE additional watch faces.
Are you sure you are looking at the same watch? Size will of course dependant of the size of your wrist. Not much can be done with it. I think GTS series had 2 sizes? (If I'm not mistaken) .
As per watch faces, at the time of the review all of them were free. I just had a look and lots has changed about that. There are still free ones but definitely in smaller numbers so I can appreciate the frustration
Did you have always-on display activated during your testing?
Usually max brightness and 30sec display timeout. I don't use always on display as lift up gestures are pretty good.
The battery only 1 1/2 it is NOT like advertised.... But not surprised always the same problem with this brand
A year in, at most of the settings at full (except always on display) I still get about a week of use.
On your video you claim that the tracking of the sleep cycles is accurate. Have you performed any accuracy comparison tests?
I fall asleep usually within 2-5 min and have a good recollection of my wake ups at night. It corresponds with what data I see on the watch and score seem to correspond with how I feel in the morning.
@@notenoughtech Thanks, that was very helpful. I'm between waiting for the GTR 3 or an immediate buy of the GTR 2, but the latter was discredited for being very inaccurate in tracking pulse and sleep cycles. Any idea on the GTR 2 since you sound quite dilligent in your approach in evaluating such devices?
@@menifo4334 i considered GTR2 for some time before but as a GTR owner it didn't bring that much to the table to justify it.
I think GTR3 Pro is definitely worth the attention. I understand the price can be issue for some but if that spend is within your reach you won't regret it
@@notenoughtech Price is not an issue as I always go for the option that will best serve my needs, no shortcuts. I consider your assessment as a reliable one, so I'm definitely waiting for the GTR 3. Thank you for taking the time to reply and for sharing your personal experience. 👍
Too bad Amazfit has a track record of not updating and dumping their stuff half broken :(
You will be pleased to say that other than "ok" button in menu for renaming watch in Chinese nothing appears to be broken with this one. There was an issue with weather app on launch but was fixed within 5 days with a firmware update.
Wait. You didn't enjoy to run?! So why are you running? 😂
@@pnumenwiese good question
Thanks for the info and have a healthy day. I think you have more watches then most women have shoes.
Unfortunately my partner beats me in terms of wearables and shoes. I have a long way to go. (I have sold my Mi Watch to a colleague of mine to offset the price of the Amazfit)
@@notenoughtech That's better then collecting them all. That is for sure!
Well at least someone is using it ;)
