hi everyone welcome back to wesknows tech news and reviews you know quite often we have to get
on the channel we have to review watches we have to test them but when do we actually get a chance
to just sit down and talk about the smart watches fitness trackers or sport watches that we love
that we simply enjoy using on a day-to-day basis or they have something that is just so special so
convenient and so forth well the fact is today is just that day and we're going to be talking about
a smartwatch which is so budget it's unbelievably budget it costs cheaper than the fitbit inspire
2 which is a fitness tracker we are going to be talking about the gts2 mini from
a mass fit now this budget smartwatch has a gps it's got a 1.55 inch amoled display it's got
so many tricks up its sleeve and it just looks so nice it just it feels nice it looks premium
and yeah anyway let's get into it let me tell you and show you the amasfit gts2 mini
if you are new to wesnow's tech news and reviews we talk about the latest tech news
we do brutally honest reviews and share hacks and tricks along the way
at the end of the day why do we buy smart watches fitness trackers or sport watches
well let's say you're a student i just can't see you pulling out your phone to get a sneak peek
at that message of yours on a lecture well the same actually goes for the office workers you
can't just be sitting in a meeting and pulling out your phone looking at who called you or who sent
you that message then of course you've got all the fitness-minded folk who want a lot of sport modes
on top of that they want a waterproof design as well as gps to track their cycles their runs and
so forth and then of course if you do get yourself a xiaomi or a mass fit wearable you can get pie
a single value metric that basically summarizes how your heart is coping with all the stresses
of your life with all the fast food and the occasional exercises let me share something
personal with you the first ever fitness tracker that i got was for all the wrong reasons you see
i'm a very deep sleeper and i would have the alarm clock in the morning just basically waking up
the whole household because it was screaming and blaring and yeah it was just not efficient at all
so i was looking for some options how i could get myself woken up without waking everybody else up
in the house and it turned out that the cheapest way to do that was to get a fitness tracker
with a silent alarm basically it's vibrating on your wrist and you naturally wake up so without
further ado what i want to do in this particular video is take you through 10 optimal things in the
gts2 mini which allow you to have such a rich feature list for only 100 bucks or 80 pounds
let's kick off with sleep so the gts2 mini can actually monitor three sleep stages so you like
your deep and rem sleep but that's pretty cool but the most important thing here is that you also get
a sleep score and suggestions on how to actually improve your sleep now another really cool thing
is that a mass fit and xiaomi watches are actually adding in the medical references on the advice
that they give you in regards to your sleep now this is actually really cool and previously was
only available on the true sleep functions of the huawei and honor watches but it's really good to
see that a mass fed and j.o may have also stepped in the right direction because it does make those
sleep recommendations just a bit more scientific and well it just makes you trust them just that
little bit more now there's also a stress monitor so the gts2 mini can check to see where your
personal stress level lies from relaxed normal medium or high anytime feel pressured or stressed
throughout the day you also get suggestions in the zep app on how to reduce that stress a nice touch
is the addition of a guided breathing app and you can use it to relax or simply perform respiratory
exercises the watch also gets an on-demand spo2 monitor aka blood oxygen saturation monitor
considering the monitor is on demand essentially only at a point in time and transferred to your
smartphone when synced and you can see the trends in the setback or you can see the trends up to
three hours on your watch now the mini also gets pie so this is something we discussed but just
like any other mass fit or xiaomi wearable the pi score is calculated by processing data about your
heart rate and activity intensity sleep metrics and other health data it's a single value score
that provides a customized health evaluation for each user based on the unique health data
so the rule of thumb is keep that score above 100 points and generally you're 25
less prone to getting heart disease the watch also gets 70 sport profiles these range from the
basics like running and walking but tap on more sports and choose from a range of sport categories
like ball games winter sports dance sports with the likes of ballroom dancing hip hop and belly
dancing the mini is all the more functional due to being 5 atm waterproof and having in-built gps
inbuilt gps gives you independence from your smartphone for distance and speed tracking and
we have previously did gps accuracy with the gts1 the gtr2 as well as the gts2 mini where we put the
mass with watches against the likes of garm and huawei honor fitbit and in all those tests the
amass for gps receivers were very good in fact in some of the tests they were shown to be the best
now i've placed the links to these videos in the description and in the cards at the top
additionally the mini includes a compass air pressure and altitude widgets so something
interesting to play around with what makes the gts2 mini so much more functional is that all
sport modes are now goal based that means that not only can you view your real-time data you
can set goals per workout for example calories to be burned distance and time to perform an exercise
so goal-based exercises are basically a step up from just having sport modes but you can't set
an objective of those particular exercises here you've got a range so let's say if you're running
you can set a goal of say cover a distance of 5k but if you're swimming your goal will be different
as then you put the number of laps you want to swim and you can actually adjust the length of the
pool as well so it is customizable and it's quite smart tech sports and activities were given plenty
of thought in this watch we can talk for hours about all the features here but the highlights
are you can adjust and customize the data display during your activities you can also adjust the
real-time graphs for your health metrics on top of this functionality you also get activity alerts
so something like the heart rate range alert so if your heart rate is out of the predefined heart
rate range when you're working out the watch vibrates to notify that your heart rate is too
high or too low and displays your current heart rate and then you also get the pace to slow alert
so for all the runners out there you're really going to appreciate this function or this feature
basically if your pace is too slow well slower than the predefined range you've said before
you run the watch will vibrate and actually tell you on the watch face what your current pace is
so you will know that yep i need to speed up and off you go so this is actually very well
thought through and quite useful you also get a pomodoro tracker now the pomodoro tracker app
allows you to manage time scientifically and set the concentration time in a cycle the theory
behind pomodoro is that each work period lasts 25 minutes and is followed by a five minute break
you can create custom work time and break time by tapping the up and down arrows the fact is
i'm a time management freak and considering i've got this channel to run um as well as the finance
channel i started i'll actually leave a link to it in the description below the video as well
i do need to manage my time quite steadily and if previously i had an app with the pomodoro
tracker on it i don't use the app anymore all i do is i lay the watch on the desk in front of me
and i know that for 25 minutes i'm doing that five minutes i take a break and then back into it again
so everything is time boxed and it makes things just generally more efficient we don't usually
discuss alarms or any core and basic features on wes now's but now you know that i sleep deep and
alarms are very important for me hence it might be handy to know that you can add up to 10 alarms on
the zep app or the watch face directly now this is actually really cool so 10 alarms on a smartwatch
and on the face directly that is very cool because usually you're limited to 4 or 6 but 10.
so i'm really really happy about that on top of that the fact is you can also set the vibration
strength on the watch so you've got the light the medium and the strong well you can guess
what i'm setting mine to yep it's on strong who is the mini 4 well the gts2 mini in my
mind has the health minded and sport enthusiasts in its sights the amount of sport and well-being
features and functions is staggering of course the watch will accommodate the casual uses as well
but if you're on the lookout for a solid yet budget activity and health metric tracker
with tons of optionality and customizations this watch is definitely for you thanks for watching
