Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Battery life and display quality are the GTS 4's strongest selling points. Multiple users highlight the watch's long battery life, with one citing 15 days compared to daily Apple Watch charging, useful for continuous sleep tracking. The AMOLED screen, tactile crown, Alexa integration, and mini apps are called out as standout features that make it competitive with Garmin and Apple Watch at a much lower price. Some users report only 5 days of battery life, showing real-world variability depending on settings like always-on display.

Sensor accuracy remains a persistent weak point across generations. Several commenters describe the heart rate algorithm failing to register sudden spikes during cycling, interval training, and swimming, a flaw reportedly unfixed across multiple Amazfit models. SpO2 readings are called inaccurate by at least one user, while GPS distance tracking has been reported as wildly off, sometimes double the actual distance, though one user found GPS accuracy improved and locked within 15 seconds after a firmware update.

Software stability and connectivity issues frustrate a notable share of users. Reports include watches getting stuck on black or unresponsive screens, failed firmware updates that disconnect the watch, Bluetooth and notification sync breaking after app updates, and music/volume controls not functioning. Some users needed replacement units from customer service, only to encounter the same black-screen issue again. Phone call echo and workout data being dropped mid-session are also mentioned as recurring frustrations.
