Hi everyone welcome back to Wesknows tech news and reviews as you can see i'm quite happy and quite
content with myself the fact of the matter is a mass fit uk have just sent me the gtr
2e so finally i can compare the flagship the gtr2 which i've got right here against the
shortcut version the gtr 2e but what i'm going to show you in this quick and an initial impressions
review is that the gtr2e is no shortcut version of this one in some cases it offers a bit more
than this one anyway gtr2 gtr2e let's do a quick review because well i just got it and i just want
to show you guys how exciting this watch is if you are new to wesknows tech news and reviews we talk
about the latest tech news we do brutally honest reviews and share hacks and tricks along the way
so when i just pulled out the gtr2 from its box i thought hold on it's supposed to be just a more
simple version of the gtr2 but that's not the case it looks just as awesome in fact it feels bigger
and lighter it just doesn't make sense but it looks awesome it feels so smooth so big everything
you just i swirl it around and it's just great the fact is you've got this awesome watch on your hand
and it looks like a very expensive 200 buck watch but you can get this for like 120 130
pounds or 120 130 bucks either way looks amazing but let's talk about the differences right because
we know there have to be differences if you're paying 180 pounds or 180 bucks for this one
then why are you paying 60 bucks less for this one anyway the differences are in the details
so let's talk about the gtr 2 what it has that the gtr-2e doesn't have okay so the gtr2
has 3d gloss while the mass fit gtr 2e has 2.5 d gloss now what's the difference 3 2.5 no
well there is a difference actually so if you think about just a very plain
phone a mobile phone so a plain piece of glass on top is going to be flat all round in the middle
and on the edges but if we're going to be talking about 2.5 d glass is when it's flat in the middle
but it's curved around the corners and 3d glass is when you get the curvature around the middle
as well as around the corners so the gtr 2 does feel a bit more special when you actually play
around with the screen and as you move from the options and the screens just all around the watch
another awesome thing on the gtr 2 is that there is a speaker not only do you have a microphone
where you can say your offline commands but you actually have a speaker so you could actually do
bluetooth calls right off your wrist on top of that you can actually play music from the
speaker the quality may not be amazing but it's a very nice and cool feature well with the gtr 2e
there is no speaker there's only a microphone so you can speak into your watch and you can give it
voice commands so you do still have the voice control which is excellent but again no speaker so
that's another shortcut another big one is music so on the gtr 2 on the global version there was
4gb of inbuilt storage on the chinese version there's 3gb on the gtr2e there's none so you can't
download music to your watch it's a bit of a shame agreed well you still got your bluetooth music
the amazing thing is is that this is it there's nothing else that the gtr 2 can do that the gtr
2e can't on the other side now let's take a look at what the gtr 2e can do that the gto2 can't so
let's start with the best thing ever battery life so the manufacturer is actually claiming
that the gtr 2 can last with typical usage around 14 days or two weeks now i've done
numerous reviews on the gtr 2 and as usual i don't agree with the typical usage by the manufacturer
i think that the gt02 can last you a solid 9 to 10 days now on the gto2e the claimed manufacturer
battery life is 24 days for typical usage that's three and a half weeks so let's say we just
shave off a third and you are still left with at least two and a half weeks of battery juice how
amazing is that another thing that we have on the gtr2e that we don't have on the gtr2
is the temperature gorge now this is a funny one because we've had the gts2 in and i was baffled
by the temperature gorge so it's supposed to be measuring the temperature of your skin
but that just doesn't make sense because as soon as i walk outside so i do expect my skin to be
somewhere around 36 degrees as of a healthy human being but because the actual thermometer is on the
watch obviously it's outside so if the outside temperature is cooler than your skin temperature
you're going to have an averaging effect and you'll be down let's say it's 10 degrees outside
plus 10 and your skin is 36 so you'll be stuck in the middle with somewhere around
20 to 23 degrees shown by the temperature gorge i'm not quite sure what that thing is for but
it's a cool gimmick toy fine let's leave it in there but nonetheless it is on the gtr 2e but it's
not on the gtr 2. the displays on the two watches are amazing 1.39 inch each
both of these watches have amoled displays with a huge resolution of 454 by 454 pixels
so high contrast very bright colors and it's just yeah they look almost identical but the difference
is a third of the price now so we mentioned what the gto 2e is actually lacking so it's lacking
uh impulse storage for music and it's lacking a speaker well yeah okay but how important are
those things do they actually cost or do you value those two items for a third of the price
i'm not sure anyway i do have to say that the gtr 2e does look a bit more smart because
there's something about it i can't quite put my finger on it i will put my finger on it though
in the full and the comprehensive review of the gtr tui but we'll get to that later for now i
think that the gtr 2e is a great deal but again this was an initial impressions review it's just
a five minute chat about the watch hopefully you like it if you like this initial impressions to
