Amazfit GTR 3 Prochat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Several users complain the GTR 3 Pro removed the screen-lock feature present on the GTR 2, making it risky to shower or swim with the watch since water can accidentally trigger functions.

I was waiting for this watch for a whole 4 months before it arrived in my country. One of the most elegant smartwatches, if not the most elegant. Very intuitive, very customizable, with an attractive interface with very cool graphics. It has the smartest watch faces of any other brand. \r\nSleep tracking seemed accurate of the time I went to bed and extremely accurate of my wake-ups during the night. There was no way of checking the accuracy of the sleep phases, though, but the sleep score was reflecting my overall mood in the morning. \r\nIt has limited multitasking during a workout, with access to the music player and phone calls only. When the workout is paused, the multitasking is unlimited to any function. \r\nMusic player buttons are very INsensitive to the touch. They need a prolonged touch and to be pressed several times before they react. Not very convenient during a workout. \r\nBattery life was crazy with an average consumption of 10% daily with all the metrics on and set to the most frequent intervals and with a weekly usage of the GPS for about a total of six hours of operation. This is where the serious weaknesses of the watch begin. \r\nI got this watch mainly because I'm a cyclist and I do most of my daily transportation on my bike. I may do up to a hundred kilometers weekly. No matter what combination of GPS settings I used, the GPS was inaccurate with the routes being recorded over buildings in erratic lines, and with curves being shortcutted to diagonal straight lines. Stopping at traffic lights or junctions was automatically picked up immediately and paused. Resuming was picked up within the first 10 to 15 meters. However, the Zepp app would not connect the dots between pause and resume and they would show on the map as gaps. Not a big deal but the problem got worst when the pause was more than 10 minutes, during a visit to a store or a stop for a coffee, for instance. The watch would not pick the restarting of the activity. In one route, a total of 19,4 km was recorded down to 4,6 km. After this incident, I noticed that the watch needed to be resumed manually after having automatically paused for more than 10 minutes. Not at all convenient, as I tend to get forgetful. That's why I needed a watch that I could rely heavily on its automation, but unfortunately, it turned out to be unreliable. \r\nHowever, the HRM and SPO2 seemed to be reasonable with no irregular spikes or ebbs.\r\nAdditionally, after the third week, I noticed a battery drain. On the third recharging, the watch was charged in the evening to a full charge, I put it on and lay latent until I went to bed. By the following morning, the battery charge had dropped to 66%. \r\nI was really sad when I had to return the watch for a refund. \r\nEven though the watch is not serving my own needs and lifestyle, I would still recommend it for someone who would use it to track their overall wellness level in a lifestyle different than mine.launch

Hello. The worst and most important thing for me in order to use it in water sports or even shower with it is the absence of a screen lock!! For now you can't lock the screen like in the GTR2. That's a big big \"no, no\" for me. I hope they fix it soon. Everything else very good but I wish they had made the pro version in stainless steel like the GTR2 version I'm back using because of the issue with the absence of a locking screen in the new GTR3 PRO. Thank you.launch

Useless until it gets a lock screen like the gtr2 in the control centre. You can not even shower with it without starting or tuening on something you don't want in that precise moment. Changing to GTR 2 for now again!!! Thank you.launch

How can I lock the screen when I don't want to let the screen been changed by the water drops during taking shower? In my GTR2 is a feature to lock the screen (paddle symbol). In GTR3 pro I cannot find it. Do you know is there such functionality?launch

Multiple commenters describe duplicate notifications, frozen notification lists, app sync failures, incorrect timestamps, and general software instability affecting the daily usability of the watch.

@billyo2222

Absolutely not! App or watch is junk! Not sure which, workouts record on watch but over half of them don't sync to app even though it shows watch is connected! Tech support for watch and app is non existent! Emailed both and didn't even get a response! No longer records sleep data. Shows correct date and time on watch and app but then in the middle of the night shows it's pm again even though it shows correctly during daytime! Again zero support help for either. Please look elsewhere!launch

Waste watch... No all time on display available... If 30 sec set to keep display on then it turns off in 5 sec... Watch lags and gets struck badly when you connect mobile apps for notifications... Can't respond to messages... Native language fonts show as boxes in notification... Outdoor visibility is not that great for Summer days... Very limited watch faces....launch

Bought Gtr 3 Pro and unfortunately disappointed. Sensors do not work, cannot measure. It constantly says tighten the cord on the screen. My wrist got gangrene from tightening the cord, but in vain. It is not clear from which application the notifications are coming. Doesn't make phone calls. I think it's a terrible product. I do not recommend.launch

Several long-term owners report hardware failures such as unresponsive touch, dead watches, and sensor malfunctions, paired with slow or unhelpful customer service and costly replacement fees.

@nickdecondio5060

I did purchase this watch. It was great with all the features that it had but mine only lasted for one year and three months. The problem mine was that I was not able to scroll anymore between screens. I tried to get a replacement, but the only thing they would offer was a discount on another watchlaunch

Amazfit product is good All the features and battery life everything is good, but if product become faulty... That's it customer service is very worse, i am waiting from December 2022 still replacement not happened to me. Customer service will say no stock only in February i may get, i am using amazfit GTR 3 Pro.. think before u buy amazfit. It's feb 3rd still no replacement happened, customer service called to give a low price watch like amazfit t rex is 8k watch instead of the GTR 3 pro 19k. That is how worse it is..launch

Commenters note the watch lacks the ability to reply to messages, run third-party apps, or offer deep smartphone integration, feeling more like a fitness band than a true smartwatch.

@nitinnegi5

I have a GTR 2 . Thought GTR 2 missed reply option but unfortunately GTR 3 is still lacking this feature or at least Siri could speak. I would recommend to go for GTR 2 as only call from watch is only a difference but who will likely to do that?... looking forward for wear OS on next series of GTR.launch

Great screen, great sleep monitor.. but missing sooooo much. \n1)Can't receive or make phone calls\n2)can't send text messages or reply\n3) inaccurate workout monitor, heart monitor not good.\nToo me the screen it's self can't convince me it's a good buy.. \nSave your $$$ and get Samsung 4. Has many many more features. All the ones I mentioned above and more.launch

Instead of all the gimmicky tracking features, I wish it had an option to reply to messages and notifications. You know, more of \"smart\" in a smart watch, less of a \"fitness band\" in a smart watch.launch

@raqeebsalam174

A proper review. He didn’t hide the facts as some reviewers do & also didn’t try to influence viewers. A pretty much neutral review. Thanks. \n\nAnd about gtr 3 pro, it's a boring watch, sorry to say. We have seen huge improvement of functionality in gtr 2 in comparison with gtr. A better display, additional satellite support, alexa, rotating crown etc. etc. don't justify the price or branding a new model. Gtr 3 pro is just a modified version of Gtr 2, more like a Gtr 2 Pro.\n\nIf we could reply to message or use 3rd party apps, which we don’t have in Gtr 2, I would recognise this watch a new model in Gtr series.launch

Users report unstable Bluetooth calling connections that drop and require manual reconnection, as well as calls that auto-answer without notification, causing frustration during use.

@dim.kar.2623

Hello, after use for about four months the main problem remains. If I use the phone to speak on a phone call Bluetooth calling connection stops and I have to manually reconnect phone to watch. Any advice how to connect automatic? This is very annoying even cheaper watches don't do thatlaunch

Brought this watch a day ago. Watch is good. but the down side of this watch is, it auto receives the calls after 3 secs. Which really a bad thing to have. Calls get received automatically, we wouldn't be notified at all, really not happy with this. Rest all features are good.launch

Great video thanks for the effort, I cant make up my mind whether to buy my wife this watch or the GTR 2, she want a watch with the bluetooth calling feature. I heard on one of your other videos the blue tooth connection was very flakey on the GTR2, this is a big no for her, was this ever improved, on the GTR2? how is the bluetooth connection on this GTR3 Pro is it stable and does it reconnect smoothly? Keep up the great work 👍launch

what is the purpsoe of the temperature feature for if it can't measure accurately, 36.4 - 32.3 is 4.1 which more than 10% of accuracy... in fact 1-2 degree is making a big impact to a human body....\nThe GPS accuracy is very important too, as i very regret that bought the Amazfit GTR because of the GPS which have more than 10% bias the accuracy, literally it just a watch instead of sport watch... please include it in each reviewlaunch

Users found the skin temperature readings inaccurate by several degrees and the stress tracking feature nearly useless, only registering while sitting still or sleeping rather than throughout the day.

@incubatork

GTR3 Pro, Acording to my watch in the sleep recording I'm never awake or maybe 2 minutes now and again, cannot reset the body temp to correct value and also the barometric pressure is way off and I cannot find a way to change it. Battery life is good over a week with only 40 minutes to charge from 10% to 100%. Other than the battery life I'm not too impressed considering the cost, my amazfit 5 track sleeping far better than the GTR3 Pro, is there a setting that I have incorrect? Video ok but a bit more detail would have helped me not buy it.launch

@Ajajambo

The stress tracking feature is next to useless as it doesn't monitor the stress level through the day as advertised by Amazfit. In fact, it only work when sleeping or sitting still watching TV?!! What's the point if doesnt know that I am stressed at work. Its suposed to alert you if the stress is high!? Mine is always 100% relaxed 🤣🤣 No wonder why since it's not tracking any stresslaunch

Some users find the built-in watch face options tacky or limited, with additional faces requiring payment rather than being free.

@jamesmedina4770

Watch is too big for sports use. I went from a Galaxy Active 2 (smaller watch) to this and it's too big and heavy. I use the watch to track my miles while I play soccer, and I often feel a pain at the top of my hand from my wrist. Also it does not work well with my Galaxy phone. As far apps go it's VERY limited, want new watch faces guess what you have to pay for them, NO FREE additional watch faces.launch

Amazfit really needs to work on having less tacky watchfaces. I can usually find 3-4 decent options to rotate through, but it's a bit disappointing. Great looking watch otherwise and excited for the new sensors.launch
