Amazfit GTR 3 Pro 46mm Smart Watch with AMOLED Display

How accurate is the GPS tracking for outdoor activities?

The watch uses four satellite systems - GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BDS - for precise location tracking. Real user testing during ski holidays shows it accurately tracks routes with speed and altitude data. The multi-satellite support means you get reliable positioning even in challenging environments like mountains or dense urban areas. Users report the tracking matches data from premium brands like Garmin and Apple Watch.

Can I really make phone calls directly from the watch?

Yes, the Bluetooth calling feature lets you answer and make calls through the watch when connected to your phone. The built-in speaker and microphone handle calls clearly in quiet environments. However, the caller audio volume is relatively low, so you might struggle to hear in noisy places. The watch quickly reconnects to your phone when you move back within Bluetooth range.

How does the 12-day battery life work in real use?

Battery life varies significantly based on your usage patterns. With normal use (notifications, basic health tracking, no sports modes), you can expect around 5-6 days. Heavy users with animated watch faces, frequent GPS tracking and always-on display will see shorter battery life. The 12-day claim applies to minimal usage scenarios. Charging takes approximately 2 hours from empty to full.

What can Alexa actually do on this watch?

Alexa functionality is limited compared to Echo devices. You can set alarms, check weather forecasts and get basic translations when connected to your phone's internet. The offline voice assistant works without internet to control sports modes and health tracking features. However, many advanced Alexa skills and smart home controls aren't available. The feature works best when your watch stays close to your connected smartphone.

Is the 5 ATM water resistance suitable for swimming?

The 5 ATM rating means the watch can handle water pressure equivalent to 50 metres depth. This makes it suitable for swimming, showering and water sports. You can wear it in pools or open water without worry. The rating covers both fresh and salt water exposure. However, avoid pressing buttons underwater and rinse the watch after swimming in chlorinated or salt water.

How readable is the screen in bright sunlight?

The 1.45-inch AMOLED display with 331 PPI delivers sharp visuals that remain readable in direct sunlight when brightness is turned up. The 70.6% screen-to-body ratio maximises the viewing area. Users specifically mention the screen works well outdoors during activities like skiing. The display quality matches more expensive smartwatches for outdoor visibility.

Can I store and play music without my phone?

The 4GB storage capacity holds approximately 470+ songs for phone-free workouts. You can transfer music files through the Zepp app and control playback directly from the watch. This feature works independently of your smartphone, making it perfect for running or gym sessions when you don't want to carry your phone. The music controls also work when your phone is connected.

What happens if the Zepp app updates cause problems?

Some users report functionality issues after certain app updates, particularly affecting calling features and notifications. If you experience problems after an update, try restarting both the watch and your phone, then re-pair the devices. Check the Zepp app settings to ensure all permissions are enabled. Contact Amazfit support if core features stop working after updates, as this may require firmware fixes.
