Mi Watch vs Amazfit GTR2: In-Depth Comparison & Which Should You Buy! By Lim Reviews

Hey guys welcome back to another video with LIM reviews, so I noticed that a couple of you guys out. There are actually asking me to compare the watch with the amaze fit GTR 2, so this video is specially made for any of you who has made that request, and just before I start off, I just want to say that I'm not comparing it against the GTR 2e that I also have sitting down here, and that is because the watch actually calls very similar to the Amalfi GTR 2e and the features are more or less the same here. So there's not really much point comparing both this and that, but the GTR 2 here actually comes in at a slightly higher price, but also comes with a few more features that is not available on the watch itself. So in this video. The whole aim of this is to tell you what you are getting with. The watch right here at a slightly lower price, and what are the additional features that you're getting on the amaze fit GTR 2 here with that slightly higher price? All right.

So, since we're talking about price right there, let me just tell you the price for both watches and the mini watch. Right here is about 469 ringgits here in Malaysia, which is about 120 us dollars, and the amazing GTR 2 here started off at 699 ringgits, which is about 170 us dollars, so notice that we have 50 U. S. dollars that separates both smartwatches here, but the amaze feed GTR 2 has actually been out in the market for quite some time now, and the pricing is actually a bit lower than the retail price right now, I'm able to get the GTR 2 here in Malaysia for 588, ringgit or 145 us dollars. So the pricing is very, very close.

Now it is only about 100 plus ringgit difference if you're in Malaysia or 25 us dollars different, so very, very close pricing between both of these. So, of course, definitely you need to know what's different here, all right. So before we talk about what's different, let's talk about what's similar between both devices here, so we do have this same round kind of face on both devices. They both are built very well. If you take a look, here is aluminum on the GTR 2, and I'm not too sure about the materials here, but it is a lightweight material.

Everything is built, really nice. Of course the straps doesn't come in these leather straps. They do come in these silicone straps, but I swapped them out for this ladder ones, because it just looks so much nicer. Just take that in mind. So apart from that, what else is same? Is the resolution of the displays right here, so both um, the mi watch right here and the gtr2 are actually using a 1.39 inch, AMOLED display that are very good. In contrast, levels they have great brightness outdoors and, of course, very nice saturation levels here, so very, very good displays on both devices.

You will definitely not have any issues if you're using this watch outdoors most of the time, because you'll be able to see the clock very well all right. Another thing that is similar between both devices right here is, of course, in terms of the uh, the health items that it tracks. So if they both track your heart rate throughout the entire day, it tracks your sleep. It strikes your stress and a couple more stuff and basic stuff on both devices, and the good news here is the heart rate tracking is actually pretty accurate and standard across both devices. They also have GPS in.

If you just want to say which is faster to lock on to GPS, I would say that the mi watch actually does that slightly quicker, but other than that it is pretty much similar in terms of performance step, counting wise. It's also very similar, so very similar in terms of health items, and that is probably because amaze feed is actually a sub brand of Xiaomi and, and that is why they actually share some items there. So yeah just bear that in mind all right, so apart from that, what's really similar here is also in terms of the battery life, so both companies actually claim their watch will last about two weeks on one single charge, but based on my actual use, if you have a lot of notifications coming in the max you can stretch this out is one week all right so now that we're done talking about the similarities, what's really different between both smartwatches right here, all right. So, first up, if you want to track your workouts and all that the mi watch actually comes with a slightly more activities according to Xiaomi, it is able to track up to 100 plus different activities, and you can actually see that in the list right here. We have your outdoors running, walking, treadmills cycling, of course swimming as well, and there is also yoga jump.

Rope hit, triathlon and more other sports here that you can choose from the list here. There are tons of sports that is actually being tracked by the watch right here, but the GTR 2 is not to be ashamed as well. Let me just show you from the GTR 2e, because this is in English. If you go into the list of activities being tracked, there is also a lot of activities tracked here up to 90, plus activities being tracked, so you're not actually missing out. But if you're just taking note of the number itself, the watch does come with 100 plus activities, but the 2 only comes with 90 plus activities but yeah.

To be honest, it definitely covers most of the activities. You'll be tracking all right. So apart from that, what's different is one major item, and that is that the gtr2 here actually comes with a built-in mic and a speaker at the back here. So you don't get that with the mi watch and what this does are, for example, if you're taking calls on your watch, you can do it directly on the amaze fit gtr2 right here. The speaker here is very loud, so it gets very clear and of course the mic here is pretty clear as well.

So the other person on the other end of the phone can hear your voice clearly, so you can also do a phone calls, and you can also use this mic as a built-in assistant. So there is this voice assistant going on in the watch right here where you can call out some comments to get into the apps very quickly. For example, you can see this little blue icon at the bottom right here are moving, so that means it's ready to take in a command. So you can also do some quick comments here, for example, launch an app launch, the weather reduce the brightness and all that, so you have built-in AI assistant on the gtr2 right here. So that's a key differentiator between both devices right there.

Another thing that's different here is that the amaze fit GTR 2 also comes with 3 gigabytes of built-in storage, for you to put songs into the watch that you can play through your earphones or through the speaker itself. So that is also another major item that is available only on the GTR 2 right here and, to be honest, I know a lot of you guys. Don't really like to carry a phone with you. This watch will definitely help you if you're going for a run- and you don't want to carry your phone, but you can still connect your earphones to the watch to get that music playing so very, very, very useful here on the amaze fit GTR too. So apart from that, I would say that everything else is pretty much the same here, you're, definitely paying a little more extra for that GTR 2, but it comes with those three items: the built-in mic, the speaker, as well as the built-in music storage for your music.

If you think it is worth that extra 20 to 30 us dollars difference between both watches, I would seriously recommend you to go with the Amalfi GTR 2, because it comes with just those. Many features are included. Apart from that, I would say that, in terms of the operating software is, of course, a little different as well. Let me show you very quickly on the watch right here: uh, you swipe up to get your motif, your quick shortcuts right there and, if you pull down from the top here, is where you get your notifications, which are very clear by the way the fonts are much larger compared to the one on the uh may speed GTR ii- I don't have any notifications going on yet, but the fonts are definitely clearer on the mi watch right here. Also, if you just click the button right there, you get into the list of applications which are also very nice.

To be honest, I really like this style of apps going on the watch itself, comparing that to the Amalfi GTR 2, which only shows them in a list like this, and then you just glide down and see the items that are in the watch, so it really depends on your personal preference. If you like the kind of apps to show up like this, then the mi watch actually does a better job there. Apart from that, I use both. Watches actually shows you your widgets, so you can just slide on to show your heart rate, your energy levels, your sleep data, your weather and all that, and you can also do that on the amaze fit GTR 2. So naturally, you also have your pi.

You have your statistics right here for your daily activities, your heart rate, your weather and both watches are basically the same right there. So in terms of the differences, I hope you are able to tell the difference between both watches right here, mainly once again, just want to reiterate the gdr2 does come with the additional call answering feature your built-in mic for your AI assistant, and also that music storage for you to store music up to three gigabytes on the watch itself. All right guys, I think that's pretty much uh it for this video. Of course, there are other tiny, more differences between both smartwatches here, but if you want to know more feel free to leave your comments down in the comment section below, and I'll try to answer all of your questions. Alright, guys stay safe, and I'll, see you guys in the next one.

Bye.
