I've had this watch for almost 2 years and it's still one of my favorite watches!!! It's light and the batter life is in real!!! You can go 2-3 weeks on one charge and it's still holding strong!!! The features aren't the best, but if you just want a digital semi smart watch to count steps and tell you the time, you won't find anything better!

After going through three Fitbits that have died on me after a year, I decided to try another brand of smart watch. While I would love an Apple Watch, the need to charge every day is not ideal. I don't want to have to add charging my watch each day to the many other things I have to remember to do. So, I decided to try this Amazfit GTS 2 Mini. It is among the thinnest and lightest of smart watches, and I didn't want anything bulky on my arm.

I'm really happy with it so far! It has taken about four days to really play with it and understand all that it can do. For instance, today, i just discovered that I can create customized watch faces. I thought I was stuck with the pre-made ones in their watch store. This really makes me feel like I can make the watch very personalized to me.

I really like the long battery life. I also like how immediately and quickly it syncs. It used to take my old fitbits FOREVER to sync. I love that I can customize the shortcuts to only see the features I want in the order I want. I love that I could customize the app to hide the features I won't use and put the features I will use in the order in which I want to see them. I really like the countdown app, the cycle tracker, the meditation breathing, the sleep tracking, the heart rate monitor, step tracker, the weather (although it could be more self-explanatory), the ability to control sound and move forward/backwards when playing music, podcasts, or other audio from my iphone.

My favorite feature is that I can have a plain digital clock display with the date, day, and steps when the screen is off. That was the feature that sold me on the watch!

The screen is also beautiful. The band is quite plain-looking relative to the beauty of the watch, but I'm just ordering a nicer band to put on it.

I got all of these many new features in a device that still cost much less than what I was paying for those Fitbits!!

I'm giving it four stars only because I had a few glitches that I hope won't become long-term issues. One issue was that some of the notifications weren't coming through. However, after restarting and changing a setting on my phone, it has been back to working fine. The other issue was that after a day or two the digital clock was not displaying when the screen was off. I'm not sure if that was a watch system issue or if I have a setting somewhere that was not configured properly.

It does have Alexa (to provide text-based responses), but I disabled it. It only seemed to work when you have the Zepp app open on the phone. Doing that would get so cumbersome that it would defeat the purpose of having it readily available on the watch.

Overall, I am very happy with this watch!

UPDATE: I'm actually bumping to five stars. I am so much happier with this watch than my old Fitbits. The screen is gorgeous. I realized that I wasn't getting the digital screen-off clock because the watch turns it off when it thinks I'm sleeping. After I wake and get moving, it starts displaying again. Neat! The displays of notifications are still unclear to me, and it can't get the weather for the exact place where I live (only for the next county over). Still, I'm really happy with this watch given its price and the other options out there on the market. I notice that I'm using the meditation/breathing bubble app quite often!

SECOND UPDATE: They need a better instruction manual for this watch. Just when I think I had discovered all that it can do, I come across other features that I didn't know about. I didn't realize that all of the watch faces can come with their own screen off watch faces. Also, the watch faces you customize have their own bare bones screen off watch face (so that you can get the color of text you want for the screen off face). Being able to customize the screen off watch face has been awesome! I also had not understood the "lit when wrist lift" setting. I now have that off, which is what I prefer. Realizing these functions saves battery life and helps me customize the watch even more to my style and liking. As for battery life, in the first week, I got a little over four days of battery life on a full charge. However, I was playing with it a lot and I had not realized how to use the "lit when lift wrist" function. Now that I turned off the "lit when lift wrist function," I'm getting longer battery life. Even happier with my watch!

watch band is so big ,wish there was a choice of sizes, but it will be ok, other than the large watch band I love the watch and all its functions

After my third fitbit died, I wanted find a more affordable option. One smartwatch I found was OK, but it's companion app drained my phone's battery mercilessly, no matter what I tried to reduce the apps functionality.
So I decided to give the Amazefit GTS2 a try, but I learned that only the GTS2 Mini was available on short notice.
So far I have used the watch now for three days and I am pleasantly surprised. The features of the watch are slightly more advanced than the Fitbit Versa 3, but the cost of the watch is 70% less. The associated Android app is fully featured and is behaving well on my phone. The watch has a build-in GPS, so I can leave my phone at home on my walks, yet still register my route. The analysis of my exercises is great. I see many details I never have seen before with my Fitbits. The GTS2 Mini also has room to load my music, though I still have to figure out how to do that. (it is not a priority to me.)
The setup was a breeze. Just be sure to load the app first before linking the watch to the phone. Let the app reach out to the phone. The screen is very bright and easily readable in full sunshine. The colors are very intense. The watches battery life seems good. Over 3 days I just used 30% of it's battery capacity based on the watch's reporting. Aside from the build-in GPS I was surprised to find that it also has a barometer and fairly accurately reports my altitude as well as altitude gains/decreases during my walks.
According to the documentation the watch is waterproof up to 5 meters, so a thoughtless jump into the pool does not kill the watch.

In short, I am so far very happy with this watch and it phone app.

Me encantó este reloj, de verdad que la calidad de sus materiales y la duración de su batería es impresionante por el precio, y adicional todas las funciones que tiene. Lo recomiendo 100%
