Amazfit GTS 4 Mini Smart Watch Unisex, Alexa GPS, Fitness Tracker w/ 120+ Sport Modes, 15-Day Battery Life, Heart Rate Blood Oxygen Monitor, Android Phone iPhone Compatible-Black (Renewed)

My Pebble watch finally stopped vibrating, which meant it stopped sending notifications in a timely manner. It was time to let her go. :( After searching through reddit and looking for a suitable replacement, I decided on this watch for a few reasons. 1) I can have a custom watchface. (I really liked my watchface from my Pebble) 2) It was small, and didn't have a lot of buttons 3) It wasn't a smartwatch on my wrist 4) The battery life was long. (The Pebble watch could go a week without charging) This passed my list here. It's a wee bit smaller than the Pebble, but it fits comfortably on my wrist. Making custom watch faces is sort of difficult, but with a few external apps, you can install a custom one, or you can make your own. I find its heart-rate functionality to be pretty accurate. Now, the downsides (Because there are a few) 1) My To-Do list keeps pulling up expired to-dos every few days. I'll wonder why my medication notification hasn't gone off, and I look and find 20 something odd expired to-dos that I have to clear out before it'll send the current notification again. I guess hitting "Done" doesn't always clear it. the app is supposed to clear expired ones, but it doesn't, so I'm not sure why. 2) It has a limited selection of apps. Developing for this doesn't seem to be as easy as developing for Pebble, and so it's missing a lot of functionality that Pebble devs brought into the watch. For me, most importantly, I use this watch for medication reminders (because it is very easy for me to forget my meds that help with my memory :P). 3) You sometimes need third-party apps to expand functionality. This isn't necessarily a dealbreaker for me, but it's kind of a bother, especially when the apps require a subscription or an extra payment to work. (I understand devs want to be paid! but still!) 4) Sometimes fitness data doesn't sync properly. I've been using the watch and the app to track workouts, and sometimes it doesn't sync to Google Fit (and therefore Lose It) until I open one of the apps. 5) The battery life can differ based on your watchface and workouts. I'm very used to Pebble's screen, and it always being on; having Always On on the watch does decrease battery life. I also found that the battery life kind of drops quickly because I work out regularly and the sensors eat up battery. Sometimes this can be fixed by restarting the watch. But, all in all, it does last quite a while; I just charge it when I shower. I love that I can find my phone, and find my watch with either or (though, the Find my Phone scared the heck out of me when I first did it, oh my GOD its so loud). And for the price, it's a pretty darn good replacement for Pebble. The touch screen is actually pretty nice. I don't personally use the Alexa features, so I can't speak to them. It's a good watch. If you're looking for a low-budget Pebble replacement, give it a try. But, all in all, for the price, this is

I don't wear jewelry or watches but I really wanted a device to track my workouts and daily steps as I try to get fit. I picked this up "Amazon Renewed" for ninety bucks and it's been great. The battery goes forever... like two weeks between charges, and it's on my wrist from rising until bedtime. The app (Zepp) has a lot of info, and the onboard watch OS is fairly easy to navigate, and really easy to deal with once you figure out how to make it do and track what you want. I've used the following workout functions: cycling tracker, pool swimming, strength training, hiking, yoga and racquetball. All of them "work" but make sure you configure things like lap length and what a lap "trip" is in swimming so that the tracker accurately measures your distance. Synced into the Zepp app the info from each workout gets saved, is more complete and easier to read. Works well for tracking steps, and the info can be shared / read into other apps like Apple health, and thereby into other apps like nutrition trackers (I use 1stPhorm). The watch notifies you of incoming calls and texts, though you can't answer calls or respond to texts from the watch (I don't need/want this feature). I do use the calendar appt. alert and it's been helpful. I wish there was a Pickleball workout tracker! I just use the racquetball workout tracker for this, but maybe they'll include one in a future update.... Overall I'm very pleased with the insights and performance of this watch.

Impressed so far in the overall performance of the watch and the battery life is easily between 7 - 10 days with all the sensors on. Not the 14 days as advertised but decent overall. It would be nice to have a continuous heart rate measurement as opposed to the incremental measurements. One “downside” to the gps function is that it is always updating the “agps” function and while on a 5 day trip without connecting daily the gps did not record my walks, this was disappointing. The overall appearance of the watch is just as nice as some of the more expensive brands and you can dress it up with other 20mm watch bands. A month in to owning the watch I would recommend given the price point but just don’t expect to get all the features of a high end garmin, Fitbit,apple, etc.

I use mine daily since I purchased it a year and a half ago. The battery life is impeccable. It tracks you pretty well, but my steps seem to differ from my phone a lot, the heart rate monitor doesn't always seem to catch up, and the watch screen is quite fragile. Luckily for that last one, there are plenty of protectors out there that are affordable, which are a MUST on this watch. There are lots of options for watch bands for this as well, which you will want off the bat too since the one it comes with is not very comfortable. How am I still giving this five stars? It's reliable, it does its job, and the value is undeniable. It may not have all the glamour and customization of the more expensive smart watches, but I don't really need all that. I'm very happy with this product and do highly recommend, just with the caveat that you also purchase screen protectors and watch bands.

This is a really nice watch, especially for the price. I did a lot of research trying to figure out is there was anything good in the $100 or less range. Most of the ones that looked pretty nice, when viewing the customer photos looked HUGE and ridiculous. I ended up getting this "mini" model of the Amazfit. Perfect size. App is nice and responsive. Some other reviews complain that the watch faces are all for a fee. Most of them are but I found about 20 that were cool and were free to download. Battery life seems really good.

Pros: I do not write reviews all that often but I felt I should since this watch has exceeded my expectations. It is my first smart watch so I don't have anything to compare it to but for the price point (I bought a refurbished one for less than $100) it has been fine. I did some researching and did not want to pay $200 plus for a few more features on other watches. I mainly use it to track my workouts in and out of the water and it seems to be fairly accurate. I recently competed in a Triathlon and it worked fine tracking the 3 events (including an Open Water workout option) even though I had to stop and start a new workout after each leg - It does not have a "multiple workouts" option that I know off. One great feature that sold me is that it uploads to Strava. It also seems to be accurate with Heart Rate calculations and with the Zepp app you can see a lot of data from your workouts. I also do not like to take my phone with me on an outdoor workout and it seems to link to GPS quickly, track accurately and then link up immediately through bluetooth as soon as I'm near my phone again. Cons: The icons and font on the home screen are quite small - with my aging eyes sometimes I have a hard time reading them. I have not found a way to increase the size or customize the home screen. If you do multiple activities in a workout, like a Triathlon, it can be challenging stopping one workout and then starting another right away, especially if you are not standing still. I have not tried the Sleep functions or Alexa so I cannot comment on those. I've only had it a few weeks but overall I'm pleased with this watch.

This is a great watch, especially for the price. It has all of the functions I wanted (mostly in relaying messages from my phone--I don't care about fitness tracking beyond steps, heart rate, and sleep metrics). This watch is supported by the Gadgetbridge Android app (free/open-source, doesn't send your fitness stats to the cloud, find it on F-Droid), but this requires setting up the proprietary cloud-syncing app and then harvesting a key, which is a little tedious. I docked a star for that. My larger gripe is that this watch is TOO BRIGHT indoors, even on its dimmest setting. I went camping with it once and didn't need a flashlight. I could just wave my wrist around (I've got the time always-on and didn't need the flashlight function). At the same time, on a sunny day, the watch is TOO DIM (it looks off) until I press the button (which makes it slightly brighter) and cup my other hand around it. I miss the older model's e-ink display, which was plenty visible in the bright sun and only needed a button-press when in an unlit room.

The watch has a clean and elegant design that complements any sport outfit. Its battery life is impressive, easily powering through a full week's use. The compatibility with numerous fitness apps is a huge plus, making it a versatile companion for any workout routine. Additionally, the intuitive menu system ensures a smooth user experience. However, the watch is prone to scratches, and the material on the back could be more durable. Some integrated measurements, like stress levels, can be unreliable or inconsistent. Also, the buckle's color faded quicker than expected.
