The standard silicone strap with the GTR 2 looks bland and I wish the company had offered a leather strap as standard, given the premium one has to pay for the GTR 2. The one with the red ring opens the menu whereas the other one is a shortcut key to the fitness features. There are two buttons jutting out of the side, both resembling minimalist crowns. The markings look tacky at best and I wish Amazfit had kept the face all blank. Personally, I feel this design element doesn’t go well with the design ethos of the GTR 2. Similar to the Mi Watch Revolve and Realme Watch S Pro, Amazfit has masked the bezels with dial markings. The display now curved to the edges, including its fat bezels. Not bad, given that both male and female buyers may be interested in the GTR 2.
The new model has ditched all that fat and gone for a sleek design – one that feels like a deliberate attempt at making the design unisexual. Buyers got to choose from two sizes as well. Last year, the Amazfit GTR grabbed attention with is bad-boy chunky design.

Is it good? Is it meh? After using it, I feel most of you will be happier spending similar money on the Xiaomi Mi Watch Revolve and Realme Watch S Pro. Hence, I strapped on the GTR 2 for a fortnight as my go-to watch. On paper, there’s a lot of new stuff here and for suckers of smartwatches (like me), it is an exciting option. You can get the Amazfit GTR 2 in Sports and Classic versions, costing Rs 12,999 and Rs 13,499 respectively.

#AMAZFIT GTR VS GTR2 UPGRADE#
Amazfit took notes and released the GTR 2, the annual upgrade to its GTR class of watches. It was a sluggish performer and it was nothing like an Apple Watch in terms of functionality. The GTR was the badass watch every guy wanted to flex, especially with its thick bezels and a chunky form factor. Later, it aimed at the slightly premium segment of watches with its Amazfit GTR and GTS, both of which grab eyeballs even to this day. Amazfit popularized the idea of a smartwatch in India with its affordable Bip watches.
