It’s hard to justify Fitbit when the Amazfit GTR 4 looks better, lasts longer, and does far more than you’d expect. The TR 4 may not win any design awards, but for an affordable watch it looks pretty good (especially compared to previous versions). Like the Garmin and Polar watches, the GTR 4 supports turn-by-turn directions. It’s easy to import your own routes – I used Komoot and Strava. When you’re out for a run, hike, or bike ride, you can enable turn-by-turn directions. It’s also rated to 5ATM for water resistance, which means you can jump into a pool with it. I wore it in the shower and while washing dishes with no issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got about 10 days on a single Amazfit GTR 4 smartwatch battery <\/a><\/strong>charge I\u2019m not an ultramarathoner or triathlete, so I can\u2019t vouch for the GPS battery <\/strong>estimates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s just one side of the smartwatch. The GTR 4 also comes with a wealth of health and fitness features. You get in-depth sleep metrics and the ability to set a sleep schedule. It has period tracking, continuous heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen tracking, and stress tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s impressive, however, is that the GTR 4 includes multi-band GPS – and at this price point. Multi-band GPS isn’t that common yet, and we’ve only started seeing it on fitness watches in the past year or so. In short, it utilizes both L1 and L5 satellite frequencies to provide more accurate GPS in challenging environments like cities or forests. I can\u2019t think of another smartwatch in this price range that has multi-band GPS. Cheap smartwatches often have longer battery life than expensive ones. Usually, this is because they use dim, low-resolution screens that use less power. This isn\u2019t the case with the GTR 4, but Amazfit claims a battery life of 7 days with heavy use (i.e. multi-band GPS, always-on display, etc.). You\u2019ll get about 14 days with normal use. For endurance athletes, enabling multi-band GPS will get you about 25 hours of continuous use, while regular GPS will get you 44 hours. Bottom line \u2014 you\u2019ll get more power than a flagship smartwatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 That being said, I was able to get about 10 days of use on a single charge. Half of that time, I had the always-on display turned off and multi-band GPS enabled at all times. During my testing, I logged about 2.5 hours of GPS activity. Some smartwatches and fitness bands useAmazfit GTR 4 Smartwatch Battery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

life longer, but with moderate use and an OLED display, 10 days is great. Charging time is not great. It took me about two hours to charge from zero to 100%. This is not the worst, but it stands out as more and more wearables now support fast<\/p>\n\n\n\n

charging. I am not a fan of proprietary chargers, but again, this is a problem in the smartwatch industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feature Overload<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The GTR 4 has a ton of features. Depending on your needs, it might actually have too many. If I went into every single one, this review would easily be over 2,000 words. No one has time to write that\u2014especially since Amazfit is more than happy to list all of them on its product page. It’s exhaustive.
