so take it easy has been really geared towards smart watches recently and that is mainly because
i thoroughly enjoyed reviewing them and the amazfit gts2 mini has been
no exception so today of course we will be reviewing unboxing and testing the accuracy
of the amazfit gts2 mini make sure you stay tuned you won't want to miss this one
what's up guys welcome back to tech it easy so we've got another smart watch in for review today
this time we've got the amazfit gts2 mini i saw a budget mid-range smartwatch except it
really doesn't feel like one so as always to start the video off we're going to jump straight into
an unboxing now first impressions for any product are super important and the fact that atmosphere
have actually put some thought into their unboxing experience is a really good sign for their product
so inside the box we get three smaller boxes one has the charger in it one has the warranty guides
and the last one has the watch itself a really nice arrangement interestingly the charger is
magnetic i was kind of hoping to see some wireless charging on this watch not something we usually
see on a watch at this price point though i suspect they opted for a magnetic charger to help
bring down the size of the watch and i will talk more about that later on in the video now for the
watch itself the atmosphere gts2 mini looks and feels amazing especially for the 75 pound price
tag of course it does take on more of an apple watch design approach here but it's much slimmer
and lighter coming in at just 19 and a half grams this is one of the reasons i've actually preferred
wearing this over my much bulkier galaxy watch 3. we have a nice metal finish around the edges
of the display and then plastic at the back build quality feels excellent it certainly doesn't feel
cheap that's for sure then we have the display which is quite a nice size certainly big enough
measuring in at 1.55 inches with 450 nits of brightness which from testing is just enough
to see well outside on a sunny day it also has a 100 ntsc high color saturation making everything
on the watch pop just that little bit more now the battery life on the gts2 mini is actually
quite impressive you're gonna reach up to 21 days of battery life with a 220 milliamp hour battery
now that is with what they call basic usage that's with bluetooth and heart rate turned off they stay
14 days for typical usage and seven days for heavy usage personally i think a lot of us will find
ourselves in the heavy usage category whether we like it or not but still if you think the minimum
seven days that's a lot more than what you get on other fitness trackers and smart watches at this
price point and even some of the ones higher up the chain for example the apple watch series six
you barely get 24 hours with that so seven days really is huge here and i do thoroughly believe
it will reach the seven days stated from testing i've had this just over two weeks
now and to be honest i've only charged it once and it's only just starting to run out of battery so
on the gts2 mini we have a really nice selection of features and as i mentioned we will do a heart
rate and spo2 accuracy test later on in the video but some of those features include blood oxygen
monitoring heart rate monitoring steps counting breathing exercises calorie counting female cycle
tracking sleep tracking stress tracking and just an all-round health assessment system that is a
lot to be packed into what is a 75 pound watch i have to say it has been a delight using those
features too switching quickly back to the heart rate monitoring this is 24 hour continuous heart
rate monitoring and it will actually give you your heart rate warnings too which is an awesome
feature to have especially if that's something you're looking out for now i know a lot of my
subscribers at least do like their watch faces so i couldn't pass this one by the amazfit gts2 mini
just come with over 50 different choices and over 30 always on display options you're definitely
not going to get the sort of ecosystem you get with the galaxy watch 3 here but still there's
definitely a nice selection to choose from and i'm pretty sure you will find something that you like
so how is the ui and operating system in general on the atmosphere gts2 mini now i for one know
that atmosphere has got a bit of stick from reviewers on youtube and just in blogs in general
mainly targeting amazfit's ui and whilst i'll admit it hasn't made me think this is amazing
i'm not particularly disappointed especially considering the price tag on this one everything
is quite nicely laid out and animations are somewhat smooth it just works really i guess it
would be nice to see android wear but even that's not the best as we well know my only comments are
since it is a smaller screen when you swipe to say your activity rings they could be much much
bolder and the text could be a lot bigger and they could really do that without making any sacrifices
i do really feel like i have to bring the watch up close to my face to read it sometimes so maybe
something that amazfit could consider fixing in the future now i did mention earlier in the video
that we would do an spo2 and heart rate accuracy test for the gts2 mini so i think that we should
put it through its paces if you haven't watched one of my videos before to test the accuracy i
use the oh tubing that the guys at well you sent out to me for another video what this does is
it tracks your spo2 and heart rate and gives live updates to my phone this is a medical grade device
so it should be as accurate as you can get really it comes in at around 150 pounds and i guess if
you are looking to up your tracking game i will put a link in the description so jumping into
the test straight away we can see that the gts2 mini is pretty much bang on straight away this is
a really good sign as usually i have to do a bit of adjusting but i didn't really have to do much
here i of course tested it several times on and off camera never really saw any huge discrepancies
and thankfully same story with the sp02 a couple of times it was one percent out but this is
very normal and very common from past experience this was the case with things like the apple watch
series 6 and even the galaxy watch 3. so all in all i'm extremely happy with how the gts2 mini
has performed here so if you were worried about the accuracy don't be the gts2 mini is a great
pick if that's what you're going for so one thing i did forget to mention earlier on in the video is
that the amazfit gts2 comes with over 70 different workout modes that rivals a lot of smart watches
and fitness trackers at this price point and beyond there's too many to go through completely
but to give you an idea we have swimming as of course the gts2 mini is actually 580m water
resistant then we have cycling rowing tennis and much much more and i do actually have something
positive to say about the ui here when you go into these sports modes once you click on more they
nicely bundle things into different subcategories so you're not stuck endlessly scrolling through
different workout modes a really nice touch and a very impressive selection in my opinion do know
though that as i say in almost all my videos now that workouts really do the same thing they track
all the same stats but they just have different words written on them or at least most of the time
they do so if you did want even more selection i wouldn't be too afraid so really the amazfit
gts2 does everything you'd really expect it to do and a lot more there's still many features that we
haven't covered in this review and there probably isn't time to go over them all this things like
bluetooth camera and then there's something called pomodoro clock which is used to improve time
management and improve work and study efficiency it really is just packed to the brim with features
that even rival that of flagship smartwatches it's honestly been a while since a product impressed me
quite this much and it's also really nice to see how sensibly priced it is i think it's worth
every single penny before we finish up it is worth glossing over the app that you use on
your phone this is what's used to track all your analytics and in comparison to say huawei health
and samsung health apps it's very very similar i'm liking the layout everything is easy to
find and i'm sure you'll find it just as easy to navigate as i did so that's really it for
the amazfit gts2 mini as always let me know in the comments what you thought are you going to
buy one or you're going to go for something a little bit more upmarket or maybe even cheaper
