Amazfit GTR 3 Pro Smart Watch for Men 46mm, 14-Day Battery Life, GPS, Alexa Built-In, Bluetooth Calls, Fitness Tracker with 150+ Sports Modes, Sleep Heart Rate Tracking, for Android iPhone, Black

I have been wearing this watch daily, and nightly, for three years. I rarely review anything, but I felt this product deserved praise. From time to time I wonder if I should get a new watch. Every time I compare it with other watches, I come to the conclusion it still is the best smart watch for the money, perhaps the best smart watch, period. I use it for monitoring health, various kinds of workouts and sleep. The charging speed is fast. The battery life is ridiculously long, compared to other watches. The easy interchangeability of watch faces and bands make it stylish for all social occasions, but at the same time it is rugged enough for hard labor and intense workouts.UPDATE: Just over three years into ownership and constant use, a few functions have stopped. I find the touch face unresponsive when I am logging sets at the gym. The workout recovery readings and hypopnea sleep monitor have stopped. I still use the watch, but I am looking for a replacement. 3 years for the price and use is not bad. I may buy a new identical watch or the Balance 2 in order to get the golf features. Zepp has been fine, but I am looking at other brands that sync with other popular fitness apps. I also have noticed this watch has started to make my wrist break out occasionally.FURTHER UPDATE: After some research, I have discovered some of my latest issues may be related to the OS version of the software in my GTR3 Pro. This watch was Zepp's pioneer using OS. It started with Zepp OS 1.0. It has been updated to newer versions, but not to Zepp 5.0, which is the version in Amazon Balance 2. The Balance 2, however, costs about $200 more. Just like other technology, the GTR3 Pro hardware may not be able to use the later versions. So, like other technology, a 3-year cycle for replacement of the hardware is expected in order to keep up with the software updates and latest trends in functions and applications. Personally, I would tend to invest in a watch at a lower price point where a 3-year replacement cycle makes sense.Overall, I still recommend the watch, but a prospective buyer should understand the limitations in the software and be made aware of a few cons that have occurred recently. It still looks good and almost all functions still operate well.

My Fitbit Versa 3 stopped charging after a couple of years and I needed a relatively inexpensive replacement. I decided to get the AmazFit GTR3 based on all the positive reviews and the price. I'm very impressed so far, setup and pairing with my phone was easy via the QR code, it lasts for many days on a charge (I had to charge the Versa 3 every other day, seems accurate, has lots of face options and is very legible even in bright light. I'm not interested in most of the fitness programs and options, just want to track my daily steps and heartrate and this will do just fine. If it lasts at least a couple of years it will be a bargain.

Good product. I had the previous version and liked it. I did notice this scratched more easily. It took over a year or so for the other. I kept that for almost 4.5 years before one of the buttons gave out. I find this one more annoying because the bottom button defaults to the watch audio rather than to the phone Bluetooth audio controls. The previous one did not have a watch audio and I preferred it. This feature is probably useless. I’m posting my review because I had to buy another one. I lost the watch on the street (long story) and cars ran over it. Needless to say, the watch face is busted BUT it still works!The battery lasts me about 7 days which is much better than other smart watches where you have to recharge within 1-2 days. I have A LOT of notifications.

This watch is extremely capable and has lots of features for its price range. It has a sleek design and is built very well. It has a tough screen that I have not scratched even though I haven’t been careful. It charges at a decent speed and holds charge for a very long time. It is not the most accurate at being a pedometer but despite that I couldn’t recommend this watch more.

April 6, 2024: Update, I reached out to customer service because, well, the battery problem is simply unacceptable for only having it for just over a year. Let me preface how it is used: I wear it 24/7, but use it to 1) look at texts/calls as they come in 2) check the time, 3) use the stop watch for about 20 minutes a day total and 4) find my phone. Most of these features I only use about 5 times a week. I don't use it to play games or really much of anything that would suck the battery up too badly. So when I reached out to customer service their response was very obviously automated asking me to troubleshoot the problem. No issue. When I did and said more or less, "it is pretty obviously the battery", they essentially reiterated ways I could try to "save" the battery life, with another automated response. Suggestions included:Please refer to the following instructions to troubleshoot the issue:1) The watch charging takes about 2.5 hours, please confirm whether your watch is fully charged;2) The battery life may vary according to settings, usage, climatic temperature, and other factors. So the actual result may differ from the laboratory data.3) The more power-consuming applications in the watch will also shorten the battery life. Please also check whether the watch is with the latest firmware. If not, please upgrade the watch and observe the battery performance;Note: The following apps would cause fast power consumption: screen display, sleep breathing quality, frequent use of Bluetooth phones or listening to music (if supported), the Screen-on Duration for too long, too many notification reminders, Always On Display enabled, GPS for a long time Exercise, turn on Auto Blood Oxygen Monitor, etc.4) Then please do the following settings to see if the watch battery life will improve.* Set the Response speed of Lift wrist to view info function to Normal mode* Turn off the Always On Display* Disable Sleep breathing quality monitoring* Disable Auto Stress Monitoring* Disable Auto Blood Oxygen Monitor* Change the Screen-on Duration time to 5 seconds* Do not choose any Wake-up Mode for Offline Voice ControlIt has now been 4 days since that reply, at which point I reiterated that it is very obviously an issue with the battery and disabling any and all of the above "suggestions" would defeat the purpose of having a smartwatch. I'm still waiting on a response. Changing my review to a one star because of the customer service.March 31, 2024: I've had this watch for over a year, 16 months to be exact. All of a sudden the battery life just tanked, despite using it exactly the same as I always have in the past. It's battery life is okay but only lasts about half as long as it used to.Additionally, it has issues with notifications where it will continue to display text notifications that I've already read and acknowledged. Again, not a big deal but annoying.Overall, it is an okay watch. I'm not sure if I intend to continue using it moving forward or if I will get something different.
