I was wanting to try a smart watch, never wore one before. I really did not want to spend a lot of money on something that I may or may not enjoy. In comes the Amazfit GTS 4 Mini. I saw some reviews online and on YouTube and a lot of people liked the watch. The price was right so I jumped on it. I have been wearing the watch everyday for the last month and have good feel for its quirks and features. Let me start by saying that this is a good starter smart watch. It does everything that most people want in a smart watch: heart rate, workout tracker, notifications, and gps tracking. The app is very easy to use and is intuitive. Here is my Good, Bad, and Ugly.Good: The watch is very light, can barley feel it on your wrist. Navigation in the watch menus is easy and simple. Has a good selection of meaningful different preset workouts that have their own metrics and interfaces. Battery life is fantastic, like really good. Sleep tracking is pretty accurate. GPS work pretty well for a watch at this price point. Watch interface is also good.Bad: A lot of the loaded workout activities are pointless. There is nothing unique to them at all. Some of the workouts have different interfaces and track different metrics but a majority of the workouts just show time, HR, and calories burned that's it. Honestly they could take off like 50% of the workout activities and I wouldn't even notice and I am sure most other people would not care. The hear rate monitoring during workout activities can be a little buggy. Some times I will start a workout and the HR will not work at all, and some times it does not read my HR correctly. To fix this you simply cancel the workout and restart it and usually that fixes it. It really only started doing this about 5 weeks in to ownership. The step counter is also a little bugged. When you first get up and start walking it may not register any of those steps, it probably will miss the first 20-30 steps you take. Once the step counter is active it is usually pretty accurate. I would say this delay in step counting accounts for probably 300-500 steps lost in my daily step count. You really need to constantly be syncing the watch to the app, the watch in my experience really will not sync to the app unless you open the app. The Weather function of the watch is really dependent on you opening the app and it updating the information. How the watch determines which notification it will allow to show up on the watch is just plain stupid. You have to wait until you get a notification on your phone then you can enable that apps notification on the watch. Although this does not work for all apps, some app notifications can not be enabled on the watch for some reason. It will take about two weeks before you will have all the notification you want on your watch enabled. The watch band it comes with is not good for people who have large wrist. My wrist approaches close to 9" and I was wearing this watch on the last hole and it still was not very comfortable. Got a new watch band this is much better. The screen will scratch very easily, there are some case protectors that you can buy that work really well and solve this problem. There are really no Apps that you can get for this watch, the IOS it comes with has a very small app selection to download and none of them are worth downloading.Ugly: The Alexa function does not work very well and I can not figure out why. It will work perfectly fine some times like when I ask her to start my vehicle and other times like when I am trying to unarm my Ring Alarm System it just plain does not work right. For example when I ask Alexa on my watch to unarm my Ring Alarm system she will ask for the code, I will tell her the code and she will then respond with a message saying that you cant play media from this device. I have no idea why this is her response. I go through the same thing when I want to start my vehicle using alexa on my watch, she will ask for the code, I tell her code, and she responds that vehicle has started. It does not makes sense why it works for one thing and for another thing it just drops the ball so badly. I use alexa a lot and I thought it would be neat to have it on my watch but since it is so inconsistent I don't even use it. The biggest gripe I have is that the watch will constantly say it is not connected to phone yet when I look at my iPhone it says the watch is connected. My phone can be sitting right next to me and the watch will say that its not connected to the phone. To fix this I usually have to open the Zepp App. Its really annoying because you will miss your notifications. Also, the range of the Bluetooth between the phone and the watch is dismal. You can maybe get 15 feet away before it will disconnect. Strange because I have some wireless earbuds that have no problem connecting 30 feet+ away.Overall its a decent watch that does the bare minimum I wanted and then a little extra. I have enjoyed wearing it and now see the appeal of having a smart watch. That being said, this to me really is just a beginner smart watch. If you are not sure if you would like a smart watch or not and want to try, this is a great choice for beginners.UPDATE:Returning watch due to a continuing issue where the heat rate does not work correctly when I begin a workout. I am also having issues now with the steps not being counted at all. I could walk over 100 steps and wouldn't count any of them. I think this is because the watch thinks I am still sitting or something. The standing metric of the watched never really worked all that great but it never bothered me but I bet that is the issues with the steps not counting. Not sure if I have a bad unit or not. Watch worked fine for about 4 weeks then I started having these issues with it.
