According to data released by market research firm Counterpoint, in the global smartwatch market in the second quarter of 2022, Huawei, Xiaomi, and Amazfit (Huami) all entered the top 8 in the shipment list. Among them, Amazfit's shipments in 2021 will rank among the top 5 in the global market. This has a lot to do with the continuous innovation of its products and its continuous efforts in the field of general health. For example, the Yuewo GTS4/GTR4 launched by Amazfit not long ago has been greatly upgraded based on the previous generation Yuewo GTS3/GTR3. So, can Amazfit Yuewo GTS4/GTR4 become the new favorite of thousand-yuan smart smartwatches look at our analysis of it?
Like the previous generation of Yuewo GTS3/GTR3, the newly launched Yuewo GTS4/GTR4 also provides two different designs, square and round, for users who like different styles of smartwatches, they can find the styles they like. In addition, Yuewo GTS4/GTR4 provides a total of six different color schemes. Among them, GTR4 is available in Silver Wing Black and Racing Gray, and GTS4 is available in four colors: Aqua White, Tranquil Black, Flower Pink, and Sunset Gold. It can be seen that GTS4 has richer colors, which is also inseparable from their positioning. GTR4 focuses on motor sports appearance, while GTS4 focuses on exquisite and light appearance.
MC received the GTS4 of Huayangfen, with a square appearance and a size of 42.7mm×36.5mm×9.9mm, which is about 0.7mm thinner than GTR4 and about 1.1mm thicker than the previous generation GTS3. The weight of GTS4 is very light, the net weight is only 45g (including the strap), it is very light to wear on the hand, and it will not feel like falling.
The screen of the Yuewo GTS4 is the same as that of the previous generation. It also uses a 1.75-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 390×450 and a PPI of 341. The definition is very high and the display effect is very delicate. In addition, thanks to the OLED screen, the color saturation of the dial image is also very high. At the same time, because Yuewo GTS4 is equipped with an ambient light brightness sensor, it can automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the ambient brightness. When viewing the dial under direct sunlight, the displayed content is clearly visible.
The fuselage is equipped with a digital crown, which is also the only button equipped with Yuewo GTS4. It can not only switch on and off with a long press, but also quickly enter the function list after a short press, and turn the crown to switch function options up and down. This method of replacing the touch design by rotating the crown and clicking is equivalent to adding a shortcut key function to the watch, and even if the touch is not sensitive after the screen is wet, it will not affect its use.
Yuewo GTS4 uses a fluorine rubber strap, which was only used on the flagship GTR3Pro model in the previous generation of products. At the same time, GTS4 Sunset Gold and GTR4 Racing Gray use nylon straps. The fluoro rubber strap is soft and skin-friendly, which is more comfortable to the touch than the silicone straps used with many smart bracelets and watches. To facilitate the user to clean and replace the strap, the strap of the Yuewo GTS4 adopts a quick-release design, and the strap can be easily removed with a little force on the connecting shaft.
The Yuewo GTS4, it is equipped with the latest generation of BioTracker 4.0 PPG bio-tracking optical sensor. It can be seen from the back of the watch that it adopts a three-color four-channel layout. BioTracker 4.0 PPG has higher accuracy than the previous version 3.0. According to the official data, its data collection has increased by 33% compared with the previous generation, and the accuracy of exercise heart rate monitoring has increased by 5%.
Through the BioTracker 4.0 PPG biological tracking optical sensor, it can help Yuewo GTS4 realize heart rate belt-level exercise heart rate monitoring, blood pressure health screening, blood oxygen, sleep, atrial fibrillation, stress, menstrual cycle, PAI, and other health functions. In particular, it supports 24-hour heart rate monitoring, high and low heart rate warnings, and automatic detection of arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation). When exercising, it can provide the watch vibration reminder function for high heart rate and heart rate interval, to grasp the exercise effect at any time and reduce the risk of exercise.
In addition, Yuewo GTS4 has also added the self-developed PeakBeats professional motion algorithm. It can help users obtain data analysis of maximum oxygen uptake, recovery time, exercise load, and exercise effect. For users who like to run, Yuewo GTS4 also provides GPS real-time positioning function. Compared with the five-star single-frequency positioning of the previous generation product, it adopts six-star dual-frequency positioning and supports real-time track and track navigation and track import functions, but Six-star dual-frequency positioning also increases power consumption, which will affect battery life. In addition, it supports more than 150 sports modes, has the ExerSense sports automatic recognition algorithm, can automatically recognize 8 sports modes, and can also recognize 25 strength training modes and gym strength training functions.
The sports data of Yuewo GTS4 is relatively accurate. For example, when I was skipping rope, I compared its data with the data displayed on the skipping rope. After jumping about 100 times in a row, I found that the error between the two data was within 5 points.
By the way, Yuewo GTS4 supports 5ATM waterproof levels. The so-called ATM is the unit of compressive value. Generally speaking, when the underwater depth increases by 10m, the pressure will increase by 1 atmosphere (Bar). In other words, 1ATM is about = 1Bar = 10m water depth, and 5ATM waterproof is about 50m waterproof. It should be noted that 50m waterproof does not mean that you can dive to a depth of 50m while wearing it, but that it can withstand the pressure of 50m water depth in a relatively static state. Wearing it can be used for water sports in shallow waters such as swimming pools or beach swimming, but it is not recommended to wear it for deep diving. I didn't take off my GTS4 when I showered or washed my hands every day. It can be seen that it has no problem with daily waterproofing.
Nearly 300 million people have been screened to suffer from high blood pressure in my country, and there are probably many potential patients who have never been screened. To this end, Amazfit launched a blood pressure health screening research project last year and was the first to equip the PumpBeats blood pressure monitoring engine on the GTR3Pro model. Yuewo GTS4 is also equipped with this blood pressure monitoring engine, which can help users measure their own blood pressure conveniently and quickly.
When using the blood pressure monitoring function, you first need to click the four-leaf clover icon in the upper right corner of the Zepp App, enter "Health Signs" - "Blood Pressure" - "Blood Pressure Screening Research", and join the research project. Next, return to the main interface of the App, and install the "Blood Pressure Research" applet in "My" - "My Device" - "App Store". Before blood pressure measurement,t oo ensure the accuracy of the value, it needs to be calibrated with the upper arm medical sphygmomanometer, and the calibration cycle is 28 days. After the calibration is completed, you can measure your blood pressure through Yuewo GTS4, and the measurement data can be displayed in about 30 seconds. The data items include systolic blood pressure (high pressure), diastolic blood pressure (low pressure), and heart rate, and the latest measurement will be displayed result.
What needs to be reminded here is that although Yuewo GTS4 supports blood pressure measurement, the data it provides can only be used for blood pressure health screening research projects, and the data is for reference only. After all, this smartwatch is not a medical device.
As early as the previous generation of GTS3/GTR3, it was equipped with Amazfit’s self-developed Zepp OS operating system. The difference is that the system has been upgraded to version 2.0 on GTS4/GTR4. Compared with the previous generation, Zepp OS 2.0 adds two color modes, adopts a new application list style, supports negative one-screen smart cards, and still continues the mini-program ecology of the previous generation with rich watch functions.
From my experience, the Zepp OS 2.0 system is more mature and open, and it is closer to the operating experience of a smartphone. There is basically no difficulty in getting started, and it is also very smooth and playable. In particular, it has revised and reordered the negative one-screen smart cards of the watch, put important information on top, and allows users to customize cards and custom sorting, making information browsing more efficient. In addition, it has launched more than 150 different theme dials, and added 4 game interactive dials, so tsmartwatchesches can also have new ways of playing.
In my opinion, the biggest feature of the Zepp OS system is that it has very rich applets. There are baby records, teeth brushing reminders, SOS warning lights, etc., making the watch as rich in functions as a smartphone. In addition, the Zepp OS 2.0 system equipped on Yuewo GTS4 also supports many functions such as morning news, NFC, WeChat Alipay offline payment, membership card import, etc. We will not introduce them one by one here, and users can slowly understand these functions after purchase. function to explore.
Like the previous generation, Yuewo GTS4 also adopts a magnetic charging design. It has a built-in 300mAh battery, which has a capacity of 60mAh more than the previous generation GTS3. However, due to more functions, the battery life has also been shortened from 12 days to 8 days. sky. If you like super long battery life, the battery life of Yuewo GTR4 can reach 14 days. Yuewo GTS4 charges very quickly, and it only takes less than two hours from zero to full charge.
Judging frfromore than half a month of my experience, the battery life of Yuewo GTS4 is almost the same as the nominal. For example, the heart rate is set to be measured once every 10 minutes, the wrist is raised to brighten the screen less than 100 times a day, blood oxygen monitoring is performed 5 times a day, and the screen is turned on for 5 minutes a day. If it is used heavily, it can also last for about 5 days, such as adjusting the heart rate monitoring frequency to 1 measurement per minute, turning on pressure monitoring, heart health monitoring, blood pressure monitoring, and other functions.
From my experience, the Amazfit Leap GTS4 has greatly improved its internal functions through hard training in "internal strength". For example, it adopts a new list-style Zeep OS 2.0 system, richer six-star dual-frequency positioning, more accurate BioTracker 4.0 PPG biological tracking optical sensor, etc., and also launched a blood pressure health screening project, which can help users master their own blood pressure. Health status. Overall, Yuewo GTS4 can be described as omnipotent in terms of functions, it has all the functions you want; and it also has a very good battery life performance, coupled with a price in the early 1000 yuan, making it a popular model strength.
