- (laughs) It's Watch a Clock. Today we're checking out the Amazfit
0:05
GTS and GTR 2 watches. I think the R stands for round
0:10
and the S stands for Square,
0:13
but it's rounded So yeah, let's open them up. Check them out. Oh, by the way, it's a sponsored video,
0:18
Amazfit sponsored this video. I'm doing these simultaneously,
0:22
because I checked out the specs and they're pretty much the same, the difference is that one's round and one's not.
0:26
(humming) What the hell am I looking at?
0:30
Someone spent a lot of time making these little stickers that look like a face and everything.
0:35
Don't bother. Okay, and then on the back, there's sensors here,
0:38
there's an optical sensor that measures heart rate 24 hours a day on here.
0:43
That's called PPG. It basically it detects changes in the blood volume
0:47
as it passes by your arteries here.
0:50
There's also blood oxygen saturation measurement on there.
0:54
Way more advanced than the watch that I daily drive.
0:57
It's big in diameter, but it's pretty thin this way.
1:02
Now, this is the Sport model. And I know that because it has a black silicone strap,
1:07
whereas the non Sport model has a black leather strap.
1:10
I know some people like the brown leather, but it's all black.
1:13
The proportions are good. I argh there's some watches,
1:18
you know, all those like drop shipping bad brands, man you put them on and they're just cheap crap.
1:23
And you can tell because they're huge. This is a nice size.
1:26
Yeah, this is definitely OLED, look how that black is, cool.
1:30
Download the app, and bind the watch one app to pair them all
1:35
and on your wrist. Bind them. Alright, select device to pair.
1:40
Wow. They have lots of stuff earbuds, bands, scales,
1:43
treadmills and smart shoes. We're missing out (laughs)
1:47
Why do we only have watches? Look at all this stuff.
1:50
Watch with QR code, (phone beeps). There we go. That was fast.
1:54
On the watch face, swipe down to the control center, Swipe up to the notification center.
1:58
So I'm going this one seems a little smaller. Yeah, it's definitely it's about the same height
2:02
but you lose some width. This is definitely boomer size.
2:05
If you want to update your dad this holiday season.
2:09
This screen is so big, they could totally read this.
2:13
And obviously, I think it's more accessible to someone
2:17
who's not a digital native to get something that looks like an analog watch that they're used to.
2:21
Alright, we are in here. So this is a 1.39 inch AMOLED display.
2:26
The max brightness is 450 nits. I wanna see what that feels like flat.
2:32
Was that a flashlight? What? Okay, well, there's your max brightness right there.
2:35
Flashlight mode. That's looks really nice, actually. Very vibrant colors.
2:40
Oh, here we go. Before activating previously paired Amazfit GTR 2,
2:45
the R, will be stopped. Continue anyway.
2:48
Yeah, right you can tell the brightness difference from the max that I put on,
2:52
versus this default brightness, I would keep it on this lower default brightness
2:56
'cause I like long battery life. Another thing that they talked about was
2:59
how the glass kind of seamlessly goes into the bezel.
3:03
And they're right, this really has analog like viewing angles,
3:06
I'm looking at a really extreme angle right now, this is gonna be like,
3:11
almost I don't know like 87 or 89 degrees off.
3:15
And I can still see there's no color shift at all. Because it's OLED,
3:18
there's no way to see the individual pixels, because it's 326 pixels per inch.
3:23
That pixel the density is like totally retina from even inches away.
3:27
So that's pretty cool. I used to have a heart monitoring, sport watch.
3:32
And I found that the lowest beats per minute I could get were achieved on the toilet.
3:39
Awesome right here. (man in the background mumbling)
3:42
This one is Apply. This is kind of cool hybrid analog digital kind of look.
3:47
There's quite a few on here. This one actually has a heartbeat just right on the watch all the time.
3:52
That's kind of cool. That's a nice reminder, you know, getting mad at someone,
3:56
just look down your watch, like, I should chill out.
3:59
Oh, here we go. Now I got my breakdown. So working, I'm just in such good shape.
4:05
To those by the time I'm relaxed. One third of my time,
4:08
I'm warmed up, I'm going to go into this PAI thing, P-A-I
4:13
This is a kind of like harmonized score.
4:17
So you've got all these different sensors for your heart and your blood oxygen
4:21
and all these different things. And they can be technical. And it's nice to be able
4:26
to just combine those into one number that you look at to see if i doing good today or not.
4:30
And that's what this is it uses some kind of algorithms to normalize the number and just give you
4:34
one like KPI that you can aim at
4:37
to try to optimize so that's good.
4:40
My score is zero. Because I'm a noob.
4:44
I'm also undead. Oh, here's my SPO 2 thing
4:47
where the band tightly have the screen face up and maintain still start measurement.
4:53
The heart rate seems like it's kind of a continuous measurements that's just always happening.
4:57
Whereas this is something I need to like, turn on, and take a measurement for.
5:01
98% what does this mean? The lower the value, the higher the risk.
5:06
Oh, thank God. Okay, I'm good guys. I'm really good. I don't know if it has an official IP rating on it
5:10
like I don't think it's ip68, but it says 50 meters you can go.
5:14
50 meter water resistance, 50 meters! Are they serious?
5:17
I can go diving in this thing, that's insane. Stress, i wanna see this, what is this about?
5:22
See, okay, if this is a stress meter that requires me to remain still while it's being measured,
5:27
I feel like it's kind of a confounding variables
5:30
because just being still and sitting and staring at their watch is kind of meditative.
5:34
I'm kind of chilling out just doing it. So I got a number 44.
5:38
What does that mean? Relax is 0 to 39. So I got a 34,
5:42
which is all the stressful side of relax. I think that pretty much characterizes
5:46
my personality in general. Stress distribution, over the days of the week and stuff
5:52
over the last seven days. And it will enable viewing after automatic stress detection.
5:56
This would be so interesting to keep that on all the time,
6:00
and then just see how it goes during the day. Like I'm stressed at work,
6:04
and I'm not stressed at home, or I'm more stressed at home than I am at work.
6:07
Or I'm more stressed on the weekends when we go visit family. That would be all like so good to know.
6:12
Music. Okay, I got to hear what this thing sounds like.
6:15
No, this thing has more music, baby it's got three gigabytes.
6:19
It's got three gigabytes of storage. This is just playing locally.
6:22
I guess if you're the type of person that
6:25
likes to have music while you're hiking, and not play through headphones.
6:29
Because there's some people who do that. This is gonna be lighter than any Bluetooth speaker
6:33
that you're gonna get. You're already wearing your smartwatch for the biometric stuff so,
6:36
okay,so I think that's a
6:39
pretty comprehensive look at this watch for now,
6:42
as far as unboxings go. Two different styles pretty much covers everybody's desires.
6:48
180 bucks, 179.99 lots of sensors.
6:52
I think that's a pretty fair price for what you're getting here.
6:55
I have touched some crappy Android smartwatches in my day,
6:58
not gonna name names, but these don't feel like that,
7:01
so I would not be surprised with these end up being pretty popular. Not too shabby.
7:05
This isn't a review. It's unboxing You know, but all I can say
7:09
is they don't suck. From what I've seen right now.
7:12
I'm pretty happy with the screen quality really.
7:15
AMOLED looks sweet. So if you're interested one of these check OLED in the link below.
7:18
It's Amazfit, also known as Zip, the GTS.
7:23
- [Man in The background] GTS 2 GTS 2 and GTR 2, R is round, S is square.
7:29

7:32
and this is the one. Alright guys, if you liked this video, give us a like, subscribe.
