The accented crown key is also very smooth to swipe, not only “back” when pressed, but also rotates to access various menus and settings. This is quite a nice update over previous versions, and perhaps the most fun aspect of GTS 4 is its wide range of watch faces (over 150 to be exact), which include some exciting animations and interactivity. You can edit widgets and even upload your own photos to the watchface, and while you can’t install watchfaces from the Play Store, Amazfit’s own selection is more than adequate for most of your personalization and customization needs The Amazfit watch is also available with Amazfit’s own software. The watch runs on Amazfit’s own software (Zepp OS) and does not support third-party apps such as Spotify, which may be a turnoff for some. However, it does include standard apps such as weather forecast, calendar, and voice memos, as well as navigation apps such as compass. You can also enable notifications for certain apps on your phone and send basic replies to friends and family with a ping from WhatsApp or Messenger; Alexa integration is also included and can be accessed with a long press of the watch’s button. To use this feature, the watch must be connected to a cell phone and the Internet.Amazfit’s smartwatches have always supported a huge variety of workouts, and the GTS 4 is no different. You can record over 150 workouts on the watch, including walking, running, swimming, cycling, yoga, and more. Offering a host of powerful tracking features, great battery life, and a very friendly design, the Amazfit GTS 4 is well worth the price. It is unfortunate that there has been little evolution as a smartwatch since the previous generation, but as a great value smartwatch with plenty of features to explore, this remains a great option.
