Read here https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/verge-os-3-2-0-7-incoming-call-warning-t3884259, alraedy is thread about this problem
Gearbest is selling the GTR international version that supports English. I'm in the US and I was wondering if I buy the international version now, will it be 100% the same as the US version of the GTR when available?
Another question. Is a phone with bluetooth 4.2 compatible with the new Amazfit GTR bluetooth 5.0?
Usually there are only two versions :Chinese and International, there was never an US only version of BIP, Pace, Stratos or Verge...

This is text from Xiaomi Today: "Being the smartwatch, the Amazfit GTR concludes multiple connectivity options for better performance. It comes with jam-packed features like Bluetooth 5.0v for wireless connectivity". It doesn't matter which operating system running in yours device, bluetooth technology in all devices is just bluetooth. So if is written 5th version, that's mean must be 5th version and it's doesn't matter iPhone or Samsung, Xiaomi, Sony, Huawei and ect. android or Apple's software.
I can't quite follow what Xiaomi Today is saying in your quoted text. Will my phone need Bluetooth 5.0 for it to work with the GTR? Or will 4.2 be compatible?

With a quick google search I found that the watch has Bluetooth 5.0 or 4.2 LE (and there where shops naming both -.-), it may be the different released versions... Sorry for the comment but... Chinese being Chinese...
Anyway back to the question, I found an article pointing out that Bluetooth v5.0 is backwards compatible with v4 and also improves the connection, hence, it should work.
I guess the confusion is that the articles I have seen only mention that phones with Bluetooth v5.0 will work with accessories (speakers,watches,etc) that only have Bluetooth v4+ and not the other way around. Do accessories with Bluetooth v5.0 work with phones with only Bluetooth 4+?
any news about tha pairing issue? its still happening or they fixed the problem?

I'm not aware of a pairing issue. Where are you hearing this?
I read under some YouTube comments. But back to the first question it will work correctly with 4.2 Bluetooth system or we need 5.0 on our phone. Any experience? (I talked some people but all of them used Bluetooth 5.0 so now I don't have correct info about working with older sys). I want to buy this watch but I have a xiaomi mi a2 lite and now I don't want to change the phone

I'm still waiting to receive my GTR so I can't answer whether a 4.2 bluetooth phone will work with it. Being that only a few high end phones with bluetooth 5.0 are available at this time, I would think we'd be hearing complaints about the GTR not working on older phones (4.x). So I'm leaning toward it will work fine. I will come back to this post to confirm the 4.2 question when I receive my GTR.
What do people think the outlook is like in terms of updates to this watch, new faces etc?

Amazfit ensures that GTR paring works fine starting from Android 5.0, and there were no Bluetooth 5.0 devices at the time it was released. That's why I assume that a 4.2 Bluetooth phone will have no pairing issues.

Xiaomi devices are known for their popularity in the developer community, I expect the same to continue with this device. The Mi Band 4 was recently released and there are already over a thousand watch faces for that bad boy, and it has already gotten a few firmware updates.

Hello,
I just received the beautiful Amazfit GTR 47mm aluminum version. I made all the updates of the watch, the font, the A-GPS... but the GPS can't be found / detected in France! I stay more than 3 minutes in the same place, in a clear place where there are no or very few buildings, but the GPS doesn't work...
I compared with my Amazfit Pace... which finds the GPS signal in less than 15 seconds! Look : i.ibb.co/8z5rwzZ/pace-vs-gtr-fr.jpg
By the way, I already reset the Amazfit GTR, I restarted the watch several times, I did the calibration to the compass. Nothing works
Someone had the same problem?

For me everything work ok on GTR Global version...
For Compass did u make this (∞) motion?
One more thing, this ceramic bezel is very soft, I already have a micro scratch! I didn’t drop it, I take it off at night ...
I can confirm, that GTR (international) pairs with my iPhone7 (bt 4.2) no problem. Battery life seems very good 4% battery used on the first day and night (with all the initial tinkering with a new toy ) without continuous HR and gps.

Hello i have a similar problem. GPS fixing is very very slow and GPS isnt working until A-GPS data is updated. But i can't find anywhere in Amazfit app where i can manually update A-GPS data. Do you know is there any option in Amazfit app to update A-GPS manually? Also have alluminium Aloy version.
Hello,
I made my first Cycling yesterday but was very disapointed with GPS tracking. After my run the track was about 50 m out off the real road.
Sometimes it is ok sometimes not.
if i stop moving the watch still detect movement and indicates a speedsometimes. Stratos did not have this pb (so sad the HR sensor died)
Do you have same issue?
Hi,
I've the same issue in my GTR.
Very disappointed.
I hope Huami solve this in future firmware update
Sent from my Redmi Note 5 using Tapatalk
Same issue with my GTR. I do hope they plan to improve it in a future firmware. I just sent a tweet to them to ask about the GPS issue I will let you know if I get a response.
Same here, tried to update agps without success
The GPS isn't good at all in general (I have a verge). The accuracy of the distance is really bad. Compared to a GPS bicycle computer (I have compared it to wahoo, garmin and lezyne) the distance recorded with the watch is always too less. It differs 2-5% of the real distance.
I have the same issue with my GTR It looks like off the road/streets by 20meter, sometimes on one side sometimes on the other so it is just very inaccurate... My pace worked much better (until I went inside the pool with it), I regret I didn't buy a Stratos to replace instead of the GTR. Also if you are used to a allways-on-display it is hard to downgrade to AMOLED, pity the transflective LCDs seems to be abandoned.
Yes i really hope they will be able to fix that because the watch is unusable in this configuration for sport tracking... again they've released their product too early without finishing to develop it...
My Stratos was really good for GPS tracking but HR sensor died...
Bought this GTR thinking it could be better as it is their latest product (and hope it would be more reliable)
Lets hope for a good update
I send a email to Huami support and they demand examples to check.
Please, feel free to do the same.
Hello,
i've sent email to support also here is what they've just answered to me:

Same....
Friday I received the new firmware and after going for a couple of runs I can confirm that it didn't fix the accurancy. The only improvement I see is that it fixes satellites very fast now (before it would take a minute)
With amazfit app and with GTR... I could not be more disappointed.

very fast? you are lucky then... It's true that sometimes it fixes them faster, but other times dosen't fix any at all.
I will try to return it back to the seller.

I'm having the same problem. Last night the A-GPS was updated, but it didn't seem to improve at all. Does anyone has any news regarding this problem?
just wait for Amazfit update (according to Amazfit and Gearbest...)
The shop offered a full refund and I decided to return mine. Will buy the Stratos 3 instead.

Why do you think it will be netter?
My Pace was pretty good and from what I read the Stratos is also fine. The Stratos 3 support more GPS satellites than the GTR so at least is not the same hardware
After reading all the bad news about the GPS accuracy, I tried a 6 km run yesterday for the first time with my new GTR (aluminium). I was really surprised that the track it recorded was actually correct and pretty accurate. I think there many factors that influence the performance of the GPS.
Hey guys!
Bought myself a Stratos 3 early this summer which was replaced under warranty because the battery was drained in a few hours, GPS unable to locate etc.
However, I could pair it with the (then) Amazfit App on my iPhone 11.
Last week I got my brand new replacement device which is impossible to pair with the (new) Zepp app. I’ve tried a million tips found online but it just won’t pair with my phone. I’ve scanned the QR code about 5000 times without success.
Tried with a friend’s Samsung model whatever and managed to link the device to my account. Then the watch is “unlocked”.
However, when trying to open the settings I keep getting the message “Unfortunately settings has stopped”. It still won’t sync with the iPhone and when resetting the device to factory settings I’m back at square one, unable to pair with iPhone.
Latest firmware in place according to the device when it’s “working”.
I’ve already contacted the company I’ve bought it from and I will return it the coming Monday.
However, I do like the looks of it and functions (when it’s working) so I thought I’d check with you guys if there are any ideas to get it working properly.
Thanks in advance!
Just update thé watch to latest Fw (search New Fw from the watch connected in WiFi) the app is unable to find it.
How do I do that when the watch says it has the latest fw?
Connect the watch to the WiFi then check update from the watch
So, i did pair it again with the Android, updated the device to latest fw.
It still won’t sync with my iPhone
Wonder if it’s something wrong with the Zepp app?
Anyway, I’ve had it with Amazfit. I’m returning it tomorrow.
I’m sorry to hear that, hope you approached [email protected]
I did the same thing, made a video and shared it with them selling hello. Eventually with a lot of issues. I gave up on the Stratos 3 Watch.
Now I don’t have to worry.
Plppppppppp
I haven’t reached out to their support, I cannot really see that they could help me out with this.
Anyway, fed up with trying to get it to work with me so it’s being sent back.
Might get an Honor Magicwatch 2 instead, they seem quite similar both in appearance and function.
Are you sure?? Does it work with iPhone as in iOS
As a last resort sort of try, I reached out to their support but to say the least, their support sucks a*s!
Haven’t sent it back yet, but will any day now.
Can anyone confirm that their Stratos 3 works fine with the iOS Zepp app? Particularly, Stratos 3 and an iOS iPhone 11? The fact that the watch works fine with Samsung Android devices but not with my (or anyone else’s iOS) device suggests that it’s their iOS Zepp app that’s corrupt!
Thanks!
Here many problems with iOS an Stratos 3. But same problems with both Zepp and Amazfit
New Zepp update for iOS released today
They’ve released numerous app updates during the past weeks/months but none of them has cured my problem
I’m traveling today but will check when I get home, fingers crossed.
Nope, doesn’t work.
With this I give up on any Amazfit/Huami watches (and all other products).
When clearly pointing out that Stratos 3 and the iOS Zepp app doesn’t work, total silence from the Amazfit support.
Never have I had a worser customer experience but I guess that I shouldn’t expect more..
Hello i have problem with mi GTR4 and android phone. Phone fully paired with watch, incoming call to mobile phone. In the case that this call was received through the watch, everything went perfectly smoothly. However, if the call was received by a mobile phone, nothing cant be heard from the call on the mobile phone in the loudspeaker for the first three seconds, as the call was primarily directed back to the watch. Only after the mentioned three seconds did the watch recognize that the call was being received by a mobile phone and only then was it redirected to the mobile phone speaker. Anyone met with this ? Its realy anoing

Incoming calls always go from the phone to the watch, it's up to you to answer with one or the other.
Can be useful.

i have paired all corectly and its working but i dont understant why is there 3 seconds lag when i receave phone with phone thats anoing. i answer with watch in one case from 20 calls. rest 19 calls i have first 3 sec lag. that makes it basically useless
i have the exact same issue with my gtr4 paired with the xiaomi mi 9t. didnt find any solution until now. Hope that there will be a fix soon... Its really annoying.
it is problem with xiaomi phones. in bluetooth setings they see watch like handsfree and send incaming call alwais to the wacht. when i switch telephone back tu huawei he see watch like watch and problem is gone. it also work with apple phones. rest brands i dont know

Don't generalize everything, on my Xiaomi 12 pro everything works perfectly.
Maybe a forgotten setting, for the association there must be 2, you must in the additional bluetooth settings, authorize unnamed devices.
Same with gtr3 pro and xiaomi mi9t.
This is so annoying!
I really expected that amazfit, which is sub brand of xiaomi will make it to work probably with Xiaomi's phones

Forgot to specify that I am using a Xiaomi EU rom.
What can happen is that some people have a CN version phone.
well im EU too and phone was also from EU distribution so i believe that he had also EU rom. i personaly believe that if is all fine now they fixed it with release watch S1 so maby MIUI 13 or devices released 2022

Hello everyone!
I have the exact same problem with my GTR 4 and my phone is a Samsung A52S so it's obviously not a phone problem if you have the same issue with your Xiaomi phones.

Since I wrote that, I replaced my mobile phone to Samsung Galaxy s21 fe.
The discussed bug with the gtr3 pro still happening...
I would never buy another Amazfit watch ever again.
You need to have Amazfit GTR 4 two times listed in Bluetooth Settings. Both need to be connected. Only then call will go the watch.
Same problem here. I am using Samsumg and Gtr 3 Pro.
Same problem on my wife's gts4 and a xiaomi 9t.
