Huami's latest smartwatches offer a few improvements, but the competition is stiff at this price point.

Bottom Line

The Amazfit GTS 2 and GTR 2 are fine devices. They have plenty of fitness features, good hardware, and are available in many parts of the world. However, you can absolutely do better by spending a tiny bit more. The Garmin Venu Sq is an all-around better buy, and Fitbit and Apple's latest launches are solid, too.
