Amazfit GTR 2

The best part of the GTR 2, in my opinion, is the battery life. It comes with a 471 mAh battery, which is good for 10-14 days, and it only takes appro...

I tried Amazfit gtr 2 and honor magic watch 2 and all they do is sending my notifcations as a generic text without the app icon. So I could never tell which is which. I need a smartwatch that display the notification with the right app icon.

I recently abandoned Wear OS for a cheap alternative, an Amazfit GTR 2e. It cost me £99, lasts 15-20 days on a single charge, looks great with its ART display, and has enough smart features and fitness features to keep me happy.

I'll get my Amazfit GTR 2 in a couple of days bought off Amazon (international shipping) for 170€. It has 14 days battery life.

If, instead, you are ok with the turn-by-turn directions being relayed to your watch, then I would recommend either the Amazfit GTR 2/GTS2 (round or square, as you prefer). Both watches have viewable (but not actionable) notifications and with third party apps, those notifications can be highly customized. Similarly, there are third-party apps that will relay turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps to the watch. Finally, both the GTR 2 and GTS 2 (not "e" or "mini") have a speaker and a mic and can answer calls from the watch.

But, ultimatley, the watch cost nearly £600 and looked horrible - low resolution, washed out colours. If that watch had an Amoled display with increased PPI I would be all over it (they do a d2 delta with amoled, but its like £850 and still has a low resolution). I thought I may have found the answer with the Amazfit GTR2.
