Thank You, Roland! You just helped me to choose a smartwatch :)
Thats awesome!!! You might wanna check out the latest model. I put a link in the description of the video for your. It gets better GPS and a slightly larger battery.
As a left-handed person I like that you mention how it is to use as a leftie. I think that you are the only reviewer that I've seen that mentions that. As a smaller woman I wish that there was a smaller option since it looks like it is pretty big. I wish that all the watches came in a larger and smaller size.
Thanks for the kind words. I wish there was a smaller round version but there isn't at this time. Most smart watch makers have a hard time cramming all the tech into a smaller round body. The smaller watches will usually be square. Check out this Amazfit GTS4 Mini on the Amazon link below. Its an awesome color. with a cool strap. Its 36mm wide so about the width of a quarter. It has the new improved GPS features, more powerful battery and still way cheaper than an Apple Watch or Samsung.

I'm a leftie too. Many years ago when I was working construction I wore my watch on my right wrist. When I finished college and worked in white collar I moved the watch to my left wrist. No if someone could tell me how to use a "leftie" scissors my life would be complete.
@@trenier23 Lefties UNITE!!!!
Man thank you so much for this video, that helped me to make the right choice.
Hey I'm glad you liked it. Did you go with the Amazfit GTR? If not, hopefully your new watch will be great. Thanks for commenting and pleasel subscribe if you haven't already.
@@RolandDigsIt already did subscribe before commenting, I am going for the Pro, keep up the good work bro.
this is one of the best review i've seen, please keep making more!
WOW! Thanks for the kind words. I truly appreciate it. Please subscribe if you haven't already. I'm working on another video right now.
That battery life sounds amazing
Yes, Someone messaged me and told me they go over 30 days with regular use!
Great review. I am ordering the watch from Amazon in a minute. Good deal on Black Friday@
Thats awesome!! Glad to hear it! I hope you enjoy the watch as much as I have.
For the crown you can change it's place by rotating the screen in settings
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, from the watch itself, or will i have to pull out my phone from the pocket to do so?
And also let me know, is there a feature of battery saving mode and time only mode?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
Hey Mohammed....I show how the phone calls are answered and how it works with bluetooth at the 4:58 mark of this video you commented on. Hope you find it. As for the battery, if you swipe down from the main screen and click on battery you will see a battery save mode. Thanks
Wifi is used for transfering music files to the watch. Is it always on? There is an automatic start on when you choose music files transfer or something else?
As far as I know it only turns the wifi on for large file transfers like music. You connect it to your phone for just that purpose then it switches itself off after and goes back to bluetooth mode. WiFi just helps it transfer the music faster or it would take too long.
Brother ik im quite late ( very late actually) but it is possible to flip the screen of the watch so the buttons could be facing ur hand instead. Im not sure how but my friend has done this and it is a feature
Thanks for commenting. Yes it is possible. With your watch on, swipe down from the top of the screen. You should see a sub menu with icons. You are looking for the icon of a little gear. Click on that. Another sub menu comes up. Scroll down to preferences. It should be indicated with a Heart. Then another menu comes up. Scroll down to Wearing direction. Then you can click on Buttons on the Left or Buttons on the Right. Hope that helps. Please subscribe and check out my other vids if you haven't.
Can you control music playing on your phone? What about apple music pandora Spotify you tube music does it have apps on the watch?
Good dang question!! Yes, when you are in the music app on your watch you can click on the small icon in the lower left of the screen and that will allow you to control Pandora or Spotify. You can pause, skip, play, lower and raise volume.
So the GTR 3 pro has a speaker and microphone? does it have nfc to use as for contactless payments
Yes, it has a speaker and microphone. You can take calls and have a conversation thru the watch even if your phone is in another room. Unfortunately it does NOT have NFC. Amazfit uses QR codes on the watch for contactless payment. The US has adopted credit cards chips for contactless but in China they still use the QR codes alot. If you are able to setup a QR code like with Paypal, Venmo or others then you can display that QR on your watch screen at the store and make contactless payment. Hope that helps a bit and thanks for watching.
Good afternoon, first i'd like do congratulate you on this amazing review and personal opinion, many other videos just show us specs and settings (pretty useless).
I do have 1 question tho, the difference between the GTR 3 and GTR 3 Pro is that the Pro has internal storage and a mic.
My question is, that extra memory is only to store music? Can anything else be stored?
For example, in the store there are watchfaces available, can i download hundreds of them and store them in the memory?
Or anything that is in atore i have to download and install the watch faces through my phone every time, disregarding the watchfaces that are already preinstalled.
Awaiting for your responde with much anticipation since i'm hesitant between the these 2.
Thanks for the awesome comment and question. As far as I know the extra storage is mostly for music. I have about 40 songs now.
The watch faces don't seem to use much memory. I have about 15 watch faces in addition to the ones already pre loaded. The watch faces I added are all animation types that use more memory and battery.
I also have 8 Zepp Games like asteroid, word jumble, simon says and so on.
In addition to the games I've added about 6 other apps like a maps for cycling app, a text message app, calculator and so on.
All these apps and watch faces have not caused the watch to bog down or slow down in any way.
I haven't delved in to try and find how much memory I have left mainly because there aren't that many Apps and watch faces I really want to download. The Zepp selection of apps is pretty limited.
Thanks again for commenting. Please subscribe if you haven't already.
@@RolandDigsIt thanks for your reply. Those app watches that you downloaded, are you able to set them up directly in your watch or you still have to use your phone to set them up. What I mean is, if there's a watch face I downloaded a week ago I want the watch to be able to save and store it so I can quick change it.
Since the GT3 has no memory, I don't want to use my phone to everytime download and set watch faces that I already previously used. Didn't know we were able to download or even play games, thanks for that info.
I'm really considering the GT3 mainly because I don't care about answering calls or listening to music from my watch.
What do you mean you have maps installed? Literally Google Maps? With so much content I don't know if I can store all this on the GTR3 since it hasn't internal memory.
I had to subscribe to you after watching your video, wish other people were as specific as you are
@etshArk87 for the GTR3 Pro that I have you can see all your previously downloaded watch faces on the watch. No need to go back into the phone for a previously downloaded face. The maps app I got is slightly better than a Tom Tom from the 90s so don't bother. They have nothing close to Google maps. Another thing to keep in mind is the GTR 4 is on sale and it has better GPS. It should be cheaper than the GTR3 Pro right now.
How do you change how date is displayed on a watch face. I'm in USA and date appears like I am overseas.
You can change the watch face. There are many different options for date on the different watch faces. I use one that shows Month, Date, Year. There are some that have only day and month. Just hold your finger down on the middle of the watch face for 3 seconds and you should see a sub menu with more watch face options. You can slide left or right to select them.
with regards to screen bouncing around during bath and rainy season...for me i usually locked the screen to get rid of problem.
Yes, absolutely right. I found out about the lock feature after I did my video. LOL
Can you make a detailed video of calling feature?
Like normally I wear earbuds & they are connected to my phone, 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, from the watch itself, or will i have to pull out my phone from the pocket to do so?
And also let me know, is there a feature of battery saver mode and time only mode?
Please let me know.
Thanks.
I thought I answered your question about calling with the video but I guess not. Sorry. If your earbuds are connected directly to your phone and you answer a call with your watch then the sound will audio will come out on your watch. You can transfer from your watch to the phone. If you have an android like me you can transfer the audio from your phone back to your watch also. You have to use your phone to transfer the audio back to your watch. It does have battery saving mode also. It can last up to 30 days. You don't need to go into time only display either. You can actually use the watch like normal and still get over 20 days of use.
Ok thanks a lot, god bless you
Just one thing, to transfer the call, will i have to do it from the phone, or the watch has an option to transfer the audio output ..?
Plz let me know
Thanks again..
@@mohammedsalmaancharolia3335 There is a button but I always use my phone because the watch face button is so small.
You mentioned messaging. Does it have an option to reply to text messages? Great review by the way, thank you!
Yes, you can use their built in messages on the watch to reply or you can go into the Zepp app on your phone and create a custom message that will load up onto your watch. You can create quite a few custom messages. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already.
@@RolandDigsIt thank you.
Does this watch have multitask feature in the sport mode?
Unfortunately it really doesn't. I forgot to mention that. You can access your music player and answer incoming calls. But checking weather, calendars and other things can't be done as far as I can see while a workout is active. You'd have to stop the workout to get to all the other functions.
You should do a comparison between this and 4.
I was thinking about doing that since it might be time to get a new watch soon. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already.
IF the calls are picked up on the headset while connected to the watch, it's a win-win to me, even if you can transfer the call i'd always use it with headphone-watch pairing
Yeah, I like that you could still pickup the call with the headset. Thats usually what I do most of the time. Especially if I don't wanna look like a weirdo talking into my wrist when walking around the grocery store. LOL
Nice! Great share!
Thanks JC!!!!
I ordered the watch like 3 days ago but when I tried calls functionality I only have two button options : hang up or ignore. Is it normal that I don't have the answer button displayed on the watch screen when I receive a call ?. And also in the Zepp app, I don't get any sleep statistics knowing that the watch is connected to my phone and synchronized ? Thank you for the video, your review is amazing
Did you go into Phone settings in the Zepp app and turn on the Bluetooth answer call feature? That's how I was able to start answering calls. As for sleep stats you have to turn the Sleep monitoring to ON. You also have to give it about 3 to 5 days of sleep monitoring before it really starts to work well. Hope this helps
Will there be a new GTR4 Pro is my question.
GTR3 Pro and GTR4 seem not much worth the upgrade
I agree. I haven't bought the GTR4 because of that reason. You get a slightly larger screen, slightly better battery and slightly better GPS. Ehh...OK. But what about SLIGHTLY improving the terrible ZEPP app. LOL! Right now the newest thing from Amazfit that could be a little better is the Falcon. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't.
Good review. I will buy one.
Glad you like the review. You might want to go check out the new GTR4. It just came out a week ago and it has a better screen, GPS and battery life than the GTR 3 Pro. Here's a link to check it out amzn.to/3qxbuOn
@@RolandDigsIt Ow! Thanks! I will check it out. Hope you will review it too soon.
Hi. Thanks for such an informative review. I get wrong data when I play tennis. I wear the watch on the left wrist but I play tennis with my right arm. Could that be the issue? Thanks!
I've had mine for 3 days. Excellent review! Lets me know what's great and may be problematic.
I hope you enjoy it and thanks for watching. Please subscribe if you haven't already.
What about notifications from your phone do you get it on the watch
Yes, I get notifications from my phone texts, emails, calendar meetings and so on. But you have to go into your phone settings and allow the Zepp app to send notifications.
What about the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro Limited Edition. Is this the same
Good question. They are both the same internally. But their bodies are different. The GTR 3 Pro Limited is made of Polished Stainless steel and weighs about 8 grams more. Its also a little bit thicker than the regular GTR 3 Pro. The straps are also slightly different. But all the tech inside both watches is the same. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting.
does gtr 3 pro have temperature and blood pressure?
I'm considering what to buy and am conflicted between gtr 3 pro and 4.
also how good/ useful is the barometer?
Hey Shivam. I think your better option would be the GTR 4 because of the upgrades on the screen, GPS and battery life. As for the metrics...GTR 3 has temperature monitor and its pretty acurate if you take the watch off your wrist and check the temp after 5 minutes.
For Blood Presure it has a sleep monitor, heart rate monitor and blood Oxygen monitor and it uses the data from all three to create a type of blood pressure monitor but it does not have a TRUE built in blood pressure monitor. They were supposed to release the feature in China early 2022 but not sure if that happened. The best blood pressure monitor watch I know of is the Omron Blood Pressure watch. Its a bit pricey but it has an actual inflatable cuff built in to measure your blood pressure. Here's a link for it. amzn.to/3qQ8Til
For the last question of barometer...yes it is pretty decent. I have compared it to google barometer for my area and its almost spot on. Currently google has my barometric pressure as 30.04 inHg and my GTR3 pro has it at 30.18. Thanks for your question and sorry for the long answer but its alot of info.
first of all Roland you have earned a loyal sub and fan in me. I think I'll be going for the gtr 4 based on all the info you just gave.
I only wish I could use your associate link to purchase. godspeed and keep up the awesome work 😁
@@ShivamSharma-ny4gu Thanks..and just out of curiousity does the link not work in your country?
@@RolandDigsIt unfortunately no
@@ShivamSharma-ny4gu I did not know that. Thanks for the info. Would an Alibaba link work? I'm trying to learn the different marketplaces for the countries my subscribers are from.
Can you recommend me which one is better ?
Amazefit gtr 3 pro or samsung galaxy watch 4 ?
That really depends on your needs. The need I had was battery life. I travel for work and wanted a watch that last many days so I picked the Amazfit. Below are some points for both watches.
1. Amazfit can go over 12 days with all metrics on. The Galaxy 4 watch can only go 40 hrs.
2. The Galaxy 4 watch has 16GB of space and the Amazfit only has 4GB.
3. The Amazfit is 20g lighter than the Galaxy .
4. Amazfit has better resolution 480X480 pixels
5. Galaxy watch has ECG technology. Amazfit only has Heartrate
6. Galaxy has NFC so you can pay at stores with your watch
7. Amazfit has built in temperature sensor
8. Amazfit it compatible with iPhone should you ever switch from Android.
I hope that helps you. Ohh yeah...The Amazfit is cheaper.
Thanks for watching!!!
But it isn't possible to Download Music from Spotify am I right?
If you have an Android phone and Spotify Premium you can download songs. It stores them in a weird spot though.
Lock screen to avoid the wrong touch. . point 4
Holy crap I forgot about that. You can definitely lock the screen to avoid the craziness. You just have to actively remember to do so. I just never had that issue with my Garmin Vivoactive 3.
that's what im doing in my apple watch to , and probably i'm switching to this watch
Can it make call
Thought Bluetooth?
Can it answer and make WhatsApp call?
Very good question. Yes, you can make a call with the bluetooth. Meaning that your phone can be about 30 feet away and still use the watch to make a call and talk thru the watch to the person you're calling. And its not just saved contacts, you can actually use the dial pad on the watch to dial a new number. I don't know if it will work with WhatApp. I can't get it to make a call with my Zoom account.
Does the alarm make sound or can it just vibrate on your arm
It can do both. Audible alarm or just vibrate. But you have to have the watch volume on for it to work. So you can't have texts and calls on vibrate only and still have the alarm on audible. Either everything is on audible or everything is on vibrate. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting and please subscribe if you haven't already.
What's your recommendation? Trex 2 vs GTR 3/3 pro vs GTR4? Price matter xD
I would pick the New TRex2 over the TRex Pro. The Amoled Screen is bigger and better resolution, the GPS is upgraded, the battery is better. If you want a smartwatch that looks nice at the office then I would go for the GTR4. It has better GPS, Battery and screen than the GTR3. I hope that helps. Here's a link for the TRex 2 in cool military brown amzn.to/3DhKuKd
Hmm should I go with Amazfit GTR 4 or GTR 3 pro? Thanks for sharing the video....👍👍👍👍
Really good question. The GTR4 is slightly better in things like GPS, screen size and battery. But also a bit more expensive. The GTR3 Pro is almost perfect in my opinion but now that the 4 is coming down in price it's a tough decision. I'd probably go with the 4 if you can get it for about $175 or less.
@@RolandDigsIt Thankyou Sir.. GTR 4 on the way 😅😅
How many contacts can we add to the watch to msg or call them?
You can add up to 50 contacts but they have to be synced thru the Zepp app for them to show up on your watch. Thanks for watching and please like and subscribe if you haven't already.
Does the watch work with iphone? Can I see and respond to text messages?
It is compatible with iOS devices but if I was you I would go to the AppStore and look up the Zepp app and read some of the reviews to make sure other folks have had good experience with it. Its not the watch that would give you issues...its the Zepp app. You should be able to read and respond to messages from your iPhone. But stock text replies are built into the watch whereas custom text replies have to be setup in the Zepp app and then downloaded to your iPhone. Hope this helps.
Hi. Can you reject calls by replying with sms like the galaxy watch? Thx
Yes
@@marufio perfect. Thanks for answering.
Sorry I took so long to answer you Roderick. I've been traveling. Yes as Marufio said you can reject calls with SMS. In fact you can go into the Zepp app and create a custom message that you might want to use for specific people like family.
@@RolandDigsIt thats nice. I think it is value for money.
You have lock screen shortcut...so you dont get nervous when gets wet ...lock the screen and you are done
Thanks! I actually got a few people tell me that trick. I guess I completely overlooked that feature. LOL
can we play music on watchs speaker
Yes, the music will play on the built in watch speaker.
how long battery last with all features on
With all notifications on, full brightness, GPS, Screen on and everything else on all the way....the battery would die in about 3 - 5 days.
There is lock screen mode. So it won't respond to touches
Thanks!!! I found out about that about a week after I recorded the video. LOL
Hey Roland. When my wife calls me and I answer with the watch. She hears a major echo of her voice giving feedback. Have you heard of this?
I wish I knew what that was about but the only thing I can think of is both the watch and the phone mics are active at the same time. I think you might want to try and delete the watch from your phone bluetooth and then reconnect. Hopefully that works.
I did do that. On my phone it is reading 2 bluetooth connections GTR PRO and GTR PRO- F166 . I this what yours does?
I tried all of that.. even reset the phone. It is still doing it-- also from a land line
The battery seems to run out quick. Any advice?
The main things that kill the battery are screen brightness and the levels of the sensors. I actually did a video with some battery tricks that could help. Check it out. ua-cam.com/video/63KfqOrPeHA/v-deo.html
Do you know if the call/messaging works with iOS?
The phone and messaging abilities of the watch itself are compatible with iOS but I would double check the Zepp app reviews on the AppStore to make sure people are not having issues with the app compatibility. If the app has any problems it can cause the watch to not function properly.
Is it water resist or proof?
Amazfit claims its able to withstand up to 50 meters of water pressure. But I DO NOT recommend taking it any deeper than a swimming pool. As for Waterproof, that would mean it can withstand a depth for a prolonged period of time. I do not believe this watch is truly waterproof. I wouldn't try to hold it underwater for an hour. I feel like the seals would leak by then. Hope that helps.
@@RolandDigsIt is it worth to buy af gtr 3pro nw?
@@favouritemedia6786 I would get the GTR4 instead. I've been using the GTR4 for about 6 months now. It has better GPS, screen and battery. I got the one with the leather strap and it feels great. But it costs a bit more. Here's a discount link from Amazon and if you don't like it you get free returns. amzn.to/3REOKcS
NO ONE EVER TALKED ABOUT THE WIFI FUNCTION IN THIS WATCH AND HOW IT WORKS
Thats because it uses Bluetooth Only. I cannot find an option for the watch to connect to a WIFI signal. There is no sub menu or setting that says WIFI.
It only connects to wifi when adding music.
I’m torn between the GTR 3 and GTR 3 pro
What are your concerns between the two? Battery? Performance? Durability? Something else?
I have had an amazfit gtr 3 pro for just over two years and the touch screen no longer works. Check reviews online as this a common fault. I would not buy again
Oh no!!! I''m sorry to hear that. Did you reach out to Amazfit? I heard they're good about customer service.
So you smashed the watch, chipped the crystal, and then complain your watch is glitchy when it gets wet? Hmmmm...
Yeah, I know....I'm rough with the watch. But I did find out that it actually doesn't glitch in the water. I just needed to use the lock function. The watch is actual fine in water. I still wear it and its even more beat up since the video. I LOVE THIS DANG WATCH!! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Not crazy about the sleep monitoring function. I have lost confidence in its accuracy.
LOL...Yes. I agree with you on that point. At first it said POOR sleep and I really felt that way in the morning. Then I made adjustments to my sleep habits and I felt much better in the morning but my watch still said it was POOR. Now Amazfit is selling access to SLEEP SOUNDS tailored to you on their Zepp app. Hmmm....seems fishy.
@@RolandDigsIt I get very high sleep scores when I am awake half the night. Whatever they're using as an algorithm is not providing accurate results, at least in my case.
@@frgjb Interesting. May I suggest setting all the health monitors to update every minute or 5 minutes. Try it for just a couple of days. It drains the battery faster but you might get some better reporting. Of course don't forget to swith back to preserve battery life. If you have already tried this than please ignore me.
Is not gorilla glass
You are right. I mispoke. It just has tempered glass coated with Anti Fingerprint coating. Its pretty tough but definitely not as strong as gorilla glass.
Amazfit take somme samsung and Apple stoff
They definitely do but I like that you can get one for 1/4 the price of apple or samsung.
Is the gorilla glass made of real gorilla? I'm vegan.
LOL, Turns out I was wrong. Its tempered glass. Not gorilla. You're safe to eat it.
Don buy can not repair only replacement sudden death
Iam traped
You forgot to tell people that the ghr 3 Pro speaker is very low you can only hear it in a completely silent room
Yeah, the speaker is not great. But it's definitely usable for those quiet rooms or offices.
Kindly see the scientific review of this watch; its health functionalities are basically useless, as they are not accurate at all.
Interesting...what reviews are you referring to? What functionalities?
@@RolandDigsIt, Dear Ronald. See reviews by The Quantified Scientist here on UA-cam
Which smartwatch is the most accurate then?
@@Hypo666crisy Good question Marcel. We're waiting for your answer Venkata.....and waiting.......and waiting.......hmmmm.....still waiting. And you better not say Apple Watch. Lol
@@RolandDigsIt to be fair to Venkata: he/she is (unfortunately) right! I'm in the market for a sport smartwatch so I'm seeing lots of reviews. And this one has pretty solid evidence: ua-cam.com/video/mYFObitRNbo/v-deo.html
So yeah... sporty wise it's not a good deal, smartwatch-wise it's a stunner for sure! Good looks and very good price!
The best heart tracking, besides an AW which I absolutely won't buy because... well.... fvck Apple, would be the Huawei GT 3 (pro): ua-cam.com/video/pXOY4TgThcg/v-deo.html
The only thing that keeps me away from buying it yet: the price and size... 417 Euros and 46mm.... I have by no means smalls wrists but man... 46mm is quite large.
So what to do? Waiting for the new GTR 4? In hope the tracking has upgraded? Go for the Venu 2 whilst I know it's also not that accurate? Or go for the GT3 Pro knowing my wallet is screaming and the piece is very.. wel.. noticeable :P
Questions questions... the search continues.
