Dude your reviews are the best! My GTR 4 is coming tomorrow and I’m so excited! Upgrading from an Apple Watch Series 3. Keep up the great videos. You’ve earned my like and sub 👍🔥
I’ve always loved the aesthetic of a traditional watch but missing out on control of camera from my watch and Apple Pay are just two of a few things that keep from going outside of an Apple Watch with my 13pro. Once again amazing content J!!!🙌🏾
This is a great video review I spent along time deciding which watch to buy. I bought this watch and it’s excellent. It’s functional, good for fitness and non fitness. Battery life achieved 10 days so far. Works well with my iPhone. Looks good too. I paid £199 in the U.K. if you email the company for a discount code , they will reply with the offer of a new strap when give proof of purchase. The Zepp app is good too. Overall, a solid , functional and nice looking watch. Your not going to go wrong with this watch
With battery the life iphones get, you would assume their watches would last a week. Instead Apple keeps upping the price that cost the same as s phone for 1 or 2 days of battery life.
Outside of fitness, how does it work for notifications and calls? Primarily calls outsiders the phone app (whatsapp, telegram, signal, fb messenger). Could this be a great Pebble successor? (If any chance you used Pebble in the past)
I got this watch today. I am not receiving any app notifications on my watch. I am using iPhone 13pro running 16.1.1 . I have enabled all device and app permissions still no luck. The only notification i get is missed call alert. No notifications from insta,fb or WhatsApp.
Hello, Mr. Williams. First, I want to thank you for your military service. Second, I want to thank you for your concise and insightful reviews. All the best.
Nice review, thx. Is there a Amazfit watch which also works with iPhone to SEND texts and has a longer battery life than the GTR4 AND has an always on display?
I am afraid of not being resistant and breaking the watch because of the flat screen. in the other hand Xiaomi s1 Active have basel i guess 🤔 what do u think. Which one should I buy?
When I clear a notification on the watch, does it clear it on the phone and vice versa? I tried the trex 2 and sent it back because I couldn’t stand having to clear notifications twice.
Hi! You said that you can send sms with the watch, and you have it connected to an iphone. How do you do it? I have an iphone 13 and i can not find the way to do it
thx for the review! I hoped that you show us how it works great with an iPhone like making/receiving calls, receive/answer text or voice messages or how it can control music playback...
@@peterflores2325 i bought one. Notifications work, you just have to enable them in the zepp app on the phone (profile->gtr4->notifications->app notifications)
If the T-Rex series gets Music one day. I’d stay with it forever. That’s the only thing keeping me from it. When I go running I wanna take just my watch and headphones, no phone. You can’t do that with the T-Rex series.
I got the watch and when im tryin to pair with my iphone ios16 bluetooth calls, it says i need to pair it when i already am paired with my bluetooth 😞… so no solution?
this smartwatch is very smart what ends up harming it is that it could already come with a Google Android or something like that so it can install some apps
There are some preset quick messages you can use to respond with, but you have an option of adding more or changing the existing ones. You can also use emojis.
So how do notifications from apps like Facebook Instagram and snap work on the apple watch I would get them but couldn't see any info like on my Galaxy watch it would give me a preview where as on apple watch it would only say notification and no preview
I just got it from Amazon. $20 cheaper than usual price. I've had the GTS 4, awesome watch by the way but I don't like the fact that it looks very close to Apple watch. Android for life baby :) GTR4 Racetrack Grey, can't wait to try it out.
@@smartphoneconversations Hello...is there option to import .gpx into the GTR4..similar to watch 5 pro..if one wants to go on hiking/running without carrying mobile phone...how is the GPS tracking displayed on watch..isn't there need of pre-loaded map for proper guidance?(since this does not have option of Wear OS apps like strava/runtastic/runkeeper etc)
Thanks for your review. Could you please advise if it is possible to accept/reject phonecalls that are coming via messengers (Whatsapp, telegram, etc) on this watch, paired with an iphone?
I'm not sure why I'm having such a hard time finding the answer to this question anywhere on the web...I know it can RECEIVE, but can this watch SEND/REPLY to text messages on the native Apple IOS Messages app for text messages? I know the watch can work with an Apple phone, but I have not yet found anyone to have confirm it can actually reply to text messages on IOS though.
No. You cannot reply or send messages on ios. It is because apple does not expose those message Api's to 3rd party apps. Except Apple watch none of the smartwatch can respond to messages in Ios. I have GTS 4
That wasn’t that helpful, you barely talked about or showed any of the actual functionalities. I want to buy one of those, but I wanted to know if you can answer notifications, control the spotify, pay stuff using nfc, these things, can anyone tell me if any of these are possible?
@@lfsouzalima3321 no its not working till now i have called support many time but not fixed …i also bought this watch because of calling feature if they are not going to fix i will return this and buy apple watch
very attractive watch J, way nicer looking then that apple watch ultra, not that i can’t afford an apple watch ultra it’s just an ugly watch in general, no clue what apple was thinking at all…smh
Man, show how this amafit works with iPhone. Messages and responds is it work? Show how you pick up a call, and show what about with the volume etc. show all of this things not just talk about it.
@@smartphoneconversations is it possible to reply to messages by dictating the text through the microphone? through applications like WhatsApp, Telegram? when the watch is connected to the iphone? well thank you
It depends on many thing, mostly the amount of notifications you get. On my older GTR 2 I silenced most of the apps, left only WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, Telegram and Mails from work only. Always ON display is on, heart rate count every few min and workout with the watch every other day and i get around 4-5 days,

🤓👍🏾
Did you have you GPS turned on all the time
That’s keeping the battery life shorter than usual than the rest of the lineup?
Hi! Thanks for your review. I'd like to ask if this gtr 4 has option for triathlon and how is it for use. Thank you man. From Brazil.
What do you think of the amazfit balance compared to the gtr4
I just got mine! but I want to change the band like the one of your video, can’t find one.
Nice review, thx. Is there a Amazfit watch which also works with iPhone to SEND texts and has a longer battery life than the GTR4 AND has an always on display?
@@cgott42 did you found? I am search for a round smartwatch that can do these Type of features.
Thank you for the information and you have absolutely great video reviews!
My pleasure!
Notification doesn’t work on my new T. rex 3 with my iPhone 😢
Do you get notifications on both watch and iphone the same time like on apple you can only get notifications one one and not both at the same time

Can I see in this watch emails and other notifications from iPhone. Let me know. Thanks
Hello friend!
I have the GTR 3. Is my GTR 3 compatible with IMessage? Or what about google maps? I’m still trying to figure this thing out!
Great review straight to the point with out the bs rants and pointless stories like some
Can you control music (spotify youtube, etc) using it with iphone?
Can you answer messages when connected to an iOS?
Can you control music (Spotify, TH-cam) from the Watch playing on the iPhone?
I'm not able to use calling function with my iphone
If the T-Rex series gets Music one day.
I’d stay with it forever.
That’s the only thing keeping me from it.
When I go running I wanna take just my watch and headphones, no phone.
You can’t do that with the T-Rex series.
The stratos series from Amazfit can do that
@@edu1113 yes, but I’m a rugged guy. I like G Shock type of watches. So T-Rex series is perfect for me, aside from that music issue.
What about with GTS 4? How does music work with it?
Currently calling feature doesn't work with iOS 16. You should mention that.

Whoah, the Amazefit is made to last!
Like this LOOKS like a MAN watch love the bigger screen.. May have to cop this before the pixel watch comes out

Yes need videos on watch faces and notifications alerts. Is there TWS pairing option
May I know the watch face please

I personally think the bio sensor is better and GPS is more accurate.
can you reply whatsapp from this watch when pairing to iphone.?
I have amazefit gtr 4 and calling option from watch is not working with iPhone ios 16 do u have any idea
Nope, mine works.
Really??? Is it working or don’t? I was almost buying just because this functionality

The calling function is not working, because of a software problem, it should be fixed in a few weeks.
No it doesn't work grear!
The bluetooth connection is not stable. Call notifications also doesn't work. I have an iphone 13 with ios 17 and a GTR4

I don't agree with u on battery u didn't even use this properly
you mean he should get less or more?
We'll definitely get more days like around 7 days
You know you sound silly right? 😆
It depends on many thing, mostly the amount of notifications you get.
On my older GTR 2 I silenced most of the apps, left only WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, Telegram and Mails from work only.
Always ON display is on, heart rate count every few min and workout with the watch every other day and i get around 4-5 days,

Best not great
can i access outlook/gmail/teams and read and reply on notifications?
