There’s Huami’s BioTracker PPG sensor, which gives you continuous heart rate monitoring and the ability to better measure your effort levels during exercise. That’s joined by a 3-axis geomagnetic sensor and air pressure sensor to provide additional data when you head out for some trail running or climbing action. You’re getting an accelerometer and gyroscope sensors to track motion and enable staples like 24/7 activity tracking and sleep monitoring. Hidden beneath that stylish exterior are the sensors and features to make the GTR 2 a pretty competent fitness tracker and sports watch.

It’s been slapped with a 5ATM rating, which means you can submerge it in water up to 50 metres depth. While it might not look like the kind of watch you’d want to jump in the pool with, Huami does make sure it’s safe to do that. You do also have an always-on display option too, but again, that will have a noticeable impact on how much battery time you get from it.

It’s bright too and you’ll likely not need it at full brightness either, which is a good thing as that will knock the battery life. The colours are great and there’s some really nice watch faces and widgets that show it off. You’re getting a crisp, 1.3-inch, 454 x 454 resolution AMOLED display with no sign of an ugly bezel as it stretches all the way to the watch case and it’s lovely to look at.
The real star here though is the display as Huami continues to put the kind of screens on its wearables that you’d expect to find on more expensive watches and trackers. It’s always nice to know you can mix things up though. The good news is that it’s nice and easy to take them out if you’re not a fan, though we were pretty content with our silicone band. That case is matched up with 22mm straps that come in either silicone (which we had) and leather options and feature a pretty standard watch buckle clasp to keep it in place.
The Sport, which we had to test, carries less grams in weight and in general didn’t feel uncomfortable or irritating to wear in any way. Both offer 46mm cases with two physical buttons and a fully-round touchscreen display. There’s your choice of Sport and Classic options, which gives you either an aluminium (Sport) or stainless steel (Classic) case. It has a much cleaner feel to it than the first GTR and it sits much nicer on the wrist too.

It also sits in the same price bracket as the Apple Watch Series 3. That puts it in and around the price of the Fitbit Versa 3 and the Garmin Venu Sq edition without a music player. The Amazfit GTR 2 is available to buy now from Amazfit’s website with the GTR 2 Sport edition available for $179 / £179 (about AU$250) and the GTR 2 Classic edition is a little pricer, coming in at $199 / £199 (about AU$270). If you can live without it being the complete sports watch and like the idea of having voice smart assistants and a music player for a good price, there’s still a lot to like about the GTR 2. It offers a good mix of fitness tracking and smartwatch features wrapped up in a stylish round watch design with better battery life than its closest priced rivals.
