Nice review, getting one for my nephew, this video helped. Also can you plz tell me if this has the always on feature? Like always show the time? Instead of raising the hand?
Nice job :) I can’t see the description of my calendar entries in the notification: it only shows “Alert” and then it misses the whole point since I have to take the phone to see if it’s a doctor appointment or a mail to send. How does you native iPhone calendar show as notification on you watch?
Good question! Unfortunately I no longer have the watch so I can’t exactly go in and figure out if this can be and how to set it up. When I was using the gtr-4, I would often reference the calendar on the watch but I don’t recall getting alerts for events 🤷🏻♀️
Do you have a problem, that weather is not synced automatically and you need to sync gtr4 with Zepp app every two-three hours? This is kind of annoying.
I hadn’t noticed a problem with the weather syncing, but I did have to re-sync sometimes when I tried to have Alexa set a timer, which was kind of annoying.
I wanted to know about its apple health sync capabilities. What syncs and what does not? Can we use Amazefit watch on one day and Apple on the other without compromising the Apple Health Data? Would that be seamless?
As far as I can remember, everything on the Amazfit will sync with Apple health as long as you toggle on everything you want to sync in the setup. As far as alternating bt it and the Apple Watch, I don’t know for sure if that would be seamless. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful in that regard.
Ty for review, cant find something like this how gtr works with iphone. And what about fitness app, data from the watches transfer there? U can close activity rings on phone?
In terms of the fitness data, I haven't had much luck. But to be honest I haven't played around with it too much because I don't really care about fitness tracking on a smartwatch. I granted the amazfit access to the health app on my iPhone but it doesn't appear to be fully syncing. I also haven't been able to see myself closing the activity rings while using the amazfit.
I don’t think so. There is a thing called zepp pay but I think it only works with the Amazfit balance which is a newer smartwatch offering from Amazfit.
this was on sale on amazon prime but i ended up getting galaxy watch 4classic. i got 3 phones so whats annoying was i need to factory reset the samsung watch everytime i switch phones. whereas amazfit watches could switch on phones without any reset. i do have 1st gen trex and 1st gen GTR. now im thinking should i buy GTR 4 since its smoother in that regard but it isnt on sale now. im thinking it isnt worth 200usd plus taxes since it doesnt have ekg and some features that galaxy watch 4 has. i got the samsung watch for 180usd on amazon prime still a good deal aside that it has weaker battery and it isnt seemless when switching phones.
The galaxy watch is definitely a good looking watch and that does sound like a good deal. I personally didn’t consider it much for me bc I figured if I’m not going with an AW I wanted to get the best battery I could with something that works well enough with the iPhone.
@vatsalparikh3393 you have to go into the Zepp app on your phone and go to watch faces in the multiple data category. Unfortunately then u just have to scroll down awhile until you see it-there’s no easy way to just type in the watch face you are looking for.
I’m not sure I fully understand your question. If someone is calling, you can answer or end the call from the watch. You can silence the tone that the watch is making from the watch, but you can’t simply make the phone’s ringtone silent from the watch-only end the call.
@@Enjoyyourcarry thats ok with me. my current phone, a redmi works the same way. the issue I have with the redmi is that it will only allow me to get notification from few apps. for example, i cannot get notification from gmail or ring. what about your watch? are you able to get a notification from any app on your iphone?
@M_Y_Wolde I use outlook for email and those notifications always went through. I don’t use ring, but I can’t think of a notification that I wanted to get that didn’t come through.
Yeah it’s not perfect. As time went on I occasionally had to launch the app in order to re-sync with the watch, but I never had an issue getting notifications.
I prefer the always on display to be on all the time, so what has the better AOD brightness, the apple watch or the amazfit? If my phone is ringing in the other room, can I silent the ring from the amazfit watch ? Similarly can I silent the alarm ringing in iphone from amazfiit watch ? Is there any lag in the amazfit since the apple watch interface and animation have been on a different level for prolonged years? Without considering the price, I'm torn between buying an apple watch series 7 or an amazfit
I’d say the AOD display brightness is the same-that is, if you’re talking about the gtr 4 and the latest couple of models of the AW. Can’t silence the phone ring or alarm on the iPhone from the Amazfit. Also, there is no lag at all with notifications going to the Amazfit compared to when I used an AW. Alexa on the Amazfit is not great at all and I kinda miss managing my email notifications like I used to do on AW. But I love that round design and battery life of Amazfit. I’m gonna do an update video soon on how my experience has been going…
I’m torn. Right now I use a gtr 4, I sold my AW series 7. I would probably go back to the AW in a second if it was round, despite the poor batter life on AW. Right now I’m good with the gtr 4 but I think eventually I’m gonna go back to AW🤷🏻♀️
You can see WhatsApp notifications but can’t respond or interact with them. I don’t use Spotify but you can control Spotify on your phone from the watch, I’m pretty sure.
Thanks for being so clear on this video.
Of course! Thanks for your feedback
Great review. Can you adjust the text size on the watch?
Yes you can adjust the font size in the settings.
Nice review, getting one for my nephew, this video helped.
Also can you plz tell me if this has the always on feature? Like always show the time? Instead of raising the hand?
Yes you can have always on display set up so that it always shows the time without having to raise your wrist.
how bad is the call feature? can you not hear them well or they can't hear you well? or is it usable? great review btw!
Thank you! No complaints from the caller on the other end but I felt like the speaker was inferior to the AW one and I couldn’t hear them as well.
Nice job :)

@@Enjoyyourcarry Thank you very much for the thoughtful reply ❤
Can you make a purchase from the phone like how you can use Apple Pay with the Apple Watch?
No, you cannot.
does it connect with AirPods Pro 2
Yes 👍
Great review 👍 I have a very good understanding of what I am going to buy thank you!
You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful to you 👍

I got one 4 days ago. love the battery life
Battery life is great👍
Can you decide that all the phone notifications don’t show up on watch? Like can you control?
Yes you can pick which notifications you want to come to the watch.
@@Enjoyyourcarry That's wonderful thank you!
@Zella2208 you’re welcome!
Hello! can you pay in shops using the watch? as you can pay with apple watch using nfc, or it is not possible with this watch?
Thank you!
I don’t think so. There is a thing called zepp pay but I think it only works with the Amazfit balance which is a newer smartwatch offering from Amazfit.
Can you see an entire texting conversation? Or just the text as it arrives? For instance can I see a text sent to me yesterday with my reply?
You just see the text as it arrives, and can only dismiss it.
@@Enjoyyourcarry Thanks! Thats a feature that I really enjoy on Apple Watch. I’m not sure I can give that up.
@kevin9011 I totally hear u. There are lots of things I love about the AW that you can’t find on anything else.
best review thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Awesome, I’m so glad it helped you!
Which armband r u rocking

Thank you for the amazing review. What watchface are you using?
Thank you so much. It’s called “colorful data”
@@Enjoyyourcarry Somehow I am still unable to find it!
@vatsalparikh3393 you have to go into the Zepp app on your phone and go to watch faces in the multiple data category. Unfortunately then u just have to scroll down awhile until you see it-there’s no easy way to just type in the watch face you are looking for.
The aluminum case is a classic look 😎
It is!
Can you make the iPhone ringtone while someone calling you silent from the watch ?
I’m not sure I fully understand your question. If someone is calling, you can answer or end the call from the watch. You can silence the tone that the watch is making from the watch, but you can’t simply make the phone’s ringtone silent from the watch-only end the call.
@@Enjoyyourcarry yes exactly
Has happened that GTR4 got an update that makes replies to messages?
That would be nice if it ever happened!
Can be control iphone camera from watch ?
I believe so yes
can you control what apps send notification to the phone?
You can see the WhatsApp notifications on the watch but you can’t respond via the watch.
@@Enjoyyourcarry thats ok with me. my current phone, a redmi works the same way. the issue I have with the redmi is that it will only allow me to get notification from few apps. for example, i cannot get notification from gmail or ring. what about your watch? are you able to get a notification from any app on your iphone?
@M_Y_Wolde I use outlook for email and those notifications always went through. I don’t use ring, but I can’t think of a notification that I wanted to get that didn’t come through.
I got bored of the Apple squared watches too because i love round watches. i don’t miss the Apple watch at all🙂
I prefer round too! Do you have the Amazfit with an iPhone?
I have an iphone 13 ios 17 and for this watch, bluetooth connection is not stable and call notifications also doesn't work
Yeah it’s not perfect. As time went on I occasionally had to launch the app in order to re-sync with the watch, but I never had an issue getting notifications.
@@Enjoyyourcarryi don't know what's the problem😕 your phone is iphone 13?
@nimadadar8731 it’s a 14 pro max. My guess is it just is what it is🤷🏻♀️. Everything is always more seamless when using an AW with an iPhone.
@@Enjoyyourcarry thanks for your reply🙏 yes you're right
I have a iPhone 12 mini. Have the same issues. Often losses Bluetooth. Don’t get text notifications
Good review cheers
Thank you!

@@Enjoyyourcarry Thank you for your observations. So would you daily drive an WATCH or the GTR 4 ?
I’m torn. Right now I use a gtr 4, I sold my AW series 7. I would probably go back to the AW in a second if it was round, despite the poor batter life on AW. Right now I’m good with the gtr 4 but I think eventually I’m gonna go back to AW🤷🏻♀️
@@Enjoyyourcarry Thank you . I’ve decided now 😃. I’m buying the WATCH series 7 tonight.
Let me know what you think of it!
Is it possible answer Whatsapp incoming call on iphone?
No, unfortunately it’s not.
How about displaying incoming Whatsapp calls?
The watch should notify you of the WhatsApp call coming in.
Thanks
Does it works with Whatsapp and Spotify?
You can see WhatsApp notifications but can’t respond or interact with them. I don’t use Spotify but you can control Spotify on your phone from the watch, I’m pretty sure.
