The Amazfit GTS smart watch has a high resolution AMOLED always-on display rivalling an Apple Watch, heart rate and sleep monitoring, and built in GPS tracking with 12 activity types. All contained in a thin 50m waterproof aluminium body with up to 14 days of battery life.
For around £110 or $140 it sounds good value. But it’s considerably more expensive than the still popular Amazfit Bip I reviewed a while back, and it’s not far off the price of comparable offerings from big names like Garmin. Let’s find out if it’s any good.
