Huami has introduced two new smartwatches, the Amazfit GTS 2E and Amazfit GTR 2E. New versions of two of its most popular models, particularly the second due to its circular design, which is a very tempting option for lovers of watches with a more classic design.
This is how the new Amazfit smart watches are
Huami has taken advantage of its presence at CES 2021 to unveil two new Amazfit watches, which had already been presented in China and which will now officially reach other markets such as Europe. So, if you are interested in their products and you are looking for something different smart watches, pay attention to these Amazfit GTS 2e and Amazfit GTR 2e.
In terms of design, both proposals are very similar to the models that already existed, the Amazfit GTS 2 and GTR 2. One being a model with a square format and the other round. So the main differences must be found inside, where they lose some features and gain others that in the long run could be much more interesting for the vast majority of users.
To begin with, the highlight of both proposals is that both the Amazfit GTS 2e and GTR 2e incorporate a sensor capable of continuously measuring body temperaturehe. A fact that right now could be more than relevant due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19 and the need to have the temperature controlled if you want to access different public spaces.
Along with this, the new watches also see their respective autonomy improved. He GTS 2e could reach up to 14 days of use, Whereas the GTR 2e would do it up to 24 days. This is partly due to the fact that there are some functions that are lost, such as WiFi connectivity, although both the Bluetooth and NFC connection are maintained.
The loss of the wireless connection also implies that the speaker for calls that was counted on is also left out, although it does will continue to notify you of incoming calls. But since you can't make calls through the clock, why would you really need such a component. So Amazfit eliminates it and that allows you to improve aspects such as the battery mentioned above.
Another of the improvements is in its use as a player, with new commands and a better experience when listening to music and control it through the watch itself. For the rest, the rest of the classic features that allowed other sensors to control sports activity, etc., continue to be maintained and make these two quite interesting watches for any user interested in something more than a simple quantification bracelet.
In addition, we cannot forget that they include GPS and that allows the different sports activities offered in the health and exercise section of both models to be carried out much more precisely.
