![]() ![]() You can also select an app that it launches if you press and hold for a couple of seconds. Pressing the crown button takes you straight back to the home screen, then pressing it again takes you to the quick launch menu for installed apps. You can reorder them in the Zepp app and remove ones that you don’t need to display on the watch at that time (they can be restored later if you need them). Navigating through the menus is a simple case of swiping left and right or up and down, all of which access different features. Sadly, I couldn’t get the GTR Mini to recognise Tasks from my Google Calendar, which is something I hope gets fixed with a future update. There’s a selection of other apps including directions, to dos, various timers, and a calendar that can be synced to Google Calendar, although you’ll need to do this on the Zepp app as it doesn’t set up automatically. It’s all quite common for devices in this price point, but just something you should be aware of up front. For instance, you can be notified that your phone is ringing, but you can’t answer it on the watch as there isn’t a speaker either. There’s no onscreen keyboard or onboard microphone, so you’re stuck with these options, which is a bit limiting. To be fair, they are mainly along the lines of ‘I’m busy, I’ll reply later’ but in a pinch they can be all you need. You can see incoming messages and reply with a small selection of preset responses. You won’t find WhatsApp or Spotify, instead things are handled by Amazfit’s generic notifications and music apps, but these integrate well with those services and others. ![]() Alongside the health tracking that we’ll cover below, there’s also a suite of built-in apps that help with messaging and personal organisation. It’s a shame, as the GTR Mini has plenty of useful features under the hood. Sure, they’re very cheap (around $1/£1 or $2/£2) and can be downloaded in seconds, it just feels dumb to not offer them as part of the standard package, especially when they do come with the GTS 4 Mini. There are faces that offer useful things like heart rate monitoring, steps and other metrics, plus you can edit some of the standard ones, but most of the best ones you’ll have to pay for. This is because the GTR bears a round design that’s akin to many classic watches, and is also in keeping with the larger GTR 4. Design and buildĬompared to the rectangular Amazfit GTS 4 Mini that I reviewed recently, it’s immediately apparent that some corners have been cut with the GTR Mini, but these are aesthetic rather than in quality. So, can it fit the same kind of features into a smaller space? Here’s the full Tech Advisor review of the Amazfit GTR Mini. Yes, the tracking isn’t as good as more expensive alternatives, but if you want a way to monitor your health all while exploring what smartwatches can do, it’s a solid and inexpensive choice.Īmazfit has added to its Mini line of smartwatches with a diminutive version of its popular GTR 4. The GTR Mini is a good looking and capable smartwatch for not a lot of money.
