I am currently on day 8 since last full charge.
AOD off.
Lift wrist to display off.
Total 5 days' gym workout comprises 43 sessions (with total 614 mins/5864 calories/60km run & walk).
Watch faces synced at least 30~40 times.
HR at 1-minute interval. Sleep assistant only enabled after day 5.
My GTR-2e is currently showing 54%. By calculation, I would expect it to last 17 days per single charge. It is much better than I earlier expected. Amazfit has not exaggerated on its claim that the watch can last for 24 days on typical use.
Hi, I wanted to ask if you know as I'm interested also to get it but searching online i couldn't find anything.
Does the GTR2e has rowing workout ?
I saw that it received an updated that increased the total supported workouts to 90 but i can't find anywhere a list with the supported workouts.
Thanks
I just checked. There is no rowing workout. My watch is updated.
Both indoor or outdoor rowing not available.

oh, thats a bummer.
Thank you for checking it.
Can you confirm that GTR2e can show AOD if lift to wake is active?

My garmins have a 1hz update which = 1 second updates to the heart rate even when not in a workout.
My fitbits do 5 second updates.
The amazfit Stratos I have does 1 minute updates when not in a workout. This is too slow of an update interval.
I know the battery would be reduced but I don't care about that. Is it possible in a rom? Or any other way?
What do you want/need the data for? You can start Elliptical, it will record the HR as any other activity and you will have the HR graph.
Yes I know you can start an activity. That's not the point. A lot of watch faces show heart rate so why not have the watch face always up to date with the correct heart rate?
If I get up and walk down the hall at work, I shouldn't see a heart rate of 55, my other trackers have no problem having more frequent updates and they show my heart rate elevated if I get up and move around. Heck even the Garmin battery lasts 2 weeks without a charge at 1 second updates.
I can't be the only user that wants to see the heart rate in real time. If that's the case then they probably haven't tried other devices yet.
The continuous HR as is already cuts the battery by about a third of the average. An update of 1 sec would also degrade this. Now, the larger battery drain would be the screen updating every second with this HR data. Try a watchface with a second hand. It obliterates the battery.
The garmin and fitbit UI's are more refined and battery conservative. Not to mention garmin will last much longer without continuous HR. I doubt this will make it to amazfit software.
I open this post because I haven't been able to find any review or opinion about one of the functionalities that offers Stratos: Skiing.
Has anyone try it and can share his or her experiencie?
I am interested mainly if it is able to dismiss the skilifts automatically on Alpine ski.
I assume it can measure speed, hear rate, and the other normal variables that are shared with running.
Any experience?
As well I am interested to know if for long multi-day hiking trips the battery would resist with the GPS active? (like 12hours sport tracking?)
In general, it would be good to know the tracking difference between one sports mode or the others
Last weekend I just made a long hike and starting with full battery and with GPS on of course, it recorded all my 11 hours hike. At the end, the battery was at 12%
I have just returned from a 400+km hike where I used the Stratos constantly. With an average of 7h of hiking I got 3 full days of battery life: Bluetooth on, sleep tracking but obviously internal HR sensor off during activities and outside.

What about the readings on altitude? Looks pretty inaccurate in the reviews and it's a very important metric when hiking.
Does anyone else have any feedback on the "Skiing" mode please? I am also interested in this mode, and whether it automatically detects travel on the ski lift. Thanks.
Stratos skiing mode
Just used my stratos for a couple of days skiing and am pretty disappointed in the results. Firstly the altitude readings are pretty inaccurate, out by more than 10% in some cases. Amizfit support responded with the following "The altitude error is greatly affected by the environment.
Due to environmental factors, the error may reach tens of meters or even hundreds of meters." So even though this is a metric that is important to skiing dosn't look like it can be improved.
Secondly, yes it looks like the watch does stop recording during lift travel and start again during a downhill run. This is what I noticed when I looked at my tracks. There was the odd lift travel that may have been a bit downhill that got recorded as a lap but most of the laps were actual runs. I even looked at my watch at the end of a run/lap and noticed that it recorded the downhill distance and descent for that lap. When I started riding the lift these results cleared and the watch was ready for the next run/lap. So this is were the good news stops. Even though I was under the impression that the watch was recording all this great individual lap information when I tried to see my results in the evening on my phone app most of my metrics were all combined into totals. For example total laps, total downhill km, total descent and total time. The only metrics listed per lap/run is max speed which is good and the time each lap ended, which is useless becuase it includeds lift waiting and riding time.
It is sad as I believe the watch has been designed and is capable of gathering detailed information but the phone apps inability to present this information totally ruins a potentialy good product. At the moment I would not recommend this watch for skiing. Go back to using your phone and any of several free ski tracking apps.
Many thanks for the detailed feedback. I used the Skiing mode on my Pace a few months ago and found it almost useless because it didn't detect travel on the skl iift and treated it as part of the ski run, thus totally ruining the data it collected.
So it meant I had to take my glove off to manually start and stop the Pace (since it doesn't have buttons like the Stratos), which of course means digging under the sleeve of your ski jacket and fleece, and then adjusting the clothes back. Doing this at the start and stop of every run is a big hassle when you're with a group of people. It's not worth it.
I don't think I checked the altitude accuracy, so I can't comment on that. I also couldn't work out how to use the 'lap' function. It treated every run I did as the first lap, even if it was a repeat run on the same slope.
Amazfit still doesn't seem to have any instructions for this mode.
I bought this watch thinking it's an all day tracker and I'm not quite sure it's working properly, for example if I've done nothing but lounge around all day my fitbit will still show the proper calculated at rest burned cals in the display, let's say 100 an hour so after 8 hours of relative inactivity or sleep it will still display a calorie burned number of 800 or so, however wearing the stratos after that same amount of time the displayed calories burned is only 10 calories... for 8 hours? That doesnt seem right. Can you please explain what might be wrong?
The watch working more or less fine (doesn't calculate accurate steps for me) only calories you'll see from yours steps..not per hour (day calories if you don't do anything and still you burning some)

Man this is a bummer, thought this thing was gunna be more or less like mah old fitbit as far as calorie tracking.
Hi,
I have a sleeping disorder and like to see my sleeppaterns. Next to that I have a realy low heartrate in rest (sporters heart)
Used it on my Garmin (worked great), Fitbit (worked a bit) and know Stratos (not good..).
The reasons the Stratos doesn't work good for me is that it detects my "resting heartrate" as sleep.
So when I'm awake in bed with my 45-55 heartrate it thinks I sleep.
So the watch thinks I slept for example from 0:00 till 6.30 while in real i only slept from 2.00 till 5.30.
That realy is a big difference.
Is there a way to adjust the sleeping heartrate in the watch?
That's strange.. I am almost sure that watch doesn't use HR to monitor sleep, only the accelerometer and ambient light sensor... If you don't move in a dark place during the night (it only records sleep between sunset and sunrise) then it will record that you slept. Continuous HR can be activated, some say the help detecting when you start/stop sleeping, but I doubt it... The only benefit is getting your resting HR (it only records this if HR is on while sleeping).

Ok, but how is that sleep tracking? If I lie still I sleep according to the watch?
My Garmin and Fitbit used HR to messure is as far as I know...
Continues HR is enabled, I track my HR all the time.
Hello, I also think that it uses hr sensor to at least know if you are wearing the watch: I dont wear the watch while I sleep, and somehow it knows it doesn't has to track my sleep because there is no sleep activity tracked in the app. Also, I place it in the bedside table and sometimes while in the dark i've seen the sensor trying to scan my wrist during a short period of time (maybe 10 seconds, no more). Makes sense to me that it could also use HR from time to time during night not to just know if I'm wearing it but also to collect HR data and use it.
Try going to amazfit app
Tap on Me > account info > heart rate zone > use reserved heart rate
In there there's something to do with resting heart rate and many other stuff to change your rate zones..
I hope this help.

I have never seen HR light on while I was in bed unless continuous HR was on... And for not detecting sleep while it's not being used it's easy: if it's horizontally and doesn't move then it's not being worn. A few times I left one of my watches on a table and they were tilted, and they registered a few hours of sleep... :silly:
I wish they would do an update and allow you to set a different time for sleep tracking. I work night shift and sleep during the day so my Stratos doesn't track my sleep because it's during the daytime hours.

I was surprised myself the other day as I went to sleep at 8am but according to my watch i didn't sleep at all. Also any nap during day are not recognised. I used to have Huawei Band 3 and it work flawless. Even if we had an option to manually start "sleep" so it knows we are about to sleep when we do fall asleep it will be taken into consideration.
Hello,
new product came out, and that is Amazfit GTS 2. Anyone already have the watch? Can 1 week battery life still be achieved if all features are turned on?
Thank you for the answers, I really appreciate it.

This guy is a long term supporter of GTS and GTS2. He praised a lot for the old GTS and its amazing battery
But in his review of GTS2, after using for 10 ten days, he said the battery is really PATHETIC, only last like 2 days.

I saw this video but this is the only one that is saying the battery life is 2 days...so I'm looking for more users that can verify this before I buy it...
Thank you anyway
I found two more review on battery test for you.
https://www.igeekphone.com/amazfit-gtr-2-in-depth-review-2/
In terms of battery life, according to the official statement, Huami Amazfit GTS 2 has a battery life of up to 7 days in daily use mode. I turned on the active heart rate detection + sleep assisted detection mode, turned on the sleep breathing quality test, and used the watch according to my own habits. The power consumption was 29% for 28 hours and 12 minutes, and the battery life was about four days. If you follow the official daily use mode instructions, the battery life will be further extended, and 7 days does not seem to be a problem.

What's honestly most impressive of all is that the developer's battery estimates for these smartwatches don't appear to be overblown, a rare thing for smartwatches or tech in general. After a week of use, including using the always-on feature sporadically, tracking my sleep cycles, and going for several workouts with GPS activated, the battery only recently dropped below 50%. Keep in mind that it would drain faster if I had continuous heart rate / SPO2 tracking enabled, but for most users, the GTR 2 could easily last you up to two weeks per charge. For comparison, the GTS 2 has a 7-day battery estimate.
Hope it helps, bro.
Personally, i'm using GTS and see no reason for the upgrade to GTS2. If you haven't bought GTS before, then maybe it's worth it.
No me llega las notificaciones del WhatsApp,
Alguien le llega?
Ya ta solucionado.
I have the gts2. I've had it about a week. Battery with usual use is about 4 days. I have wrist flip detection on high and get about 3 days. Overall I really like the watch. Waiting for Alexa update to come in the future.
I have the GTS 2 since the day it launched in India. Love everything about the watch except battery life.
Battery drain is too much. Hardly getting 2 days. I find it absurd to first purchase smartwatch for its features and then keeping most of them off to get battery life.
It is possible to turn WiFi off and bluetooth on?
Hello, I have it and only two days of battery life. I have a week with him and the clock is not bad at all. Taking advantage of the thread, you know how I can activate the extra functions of the watch.
I bought a few days ago GTR 2, and all is almost perfect except for the battery... firstly from 48% to 10% within 24h, . After fully charged, 3 days and 50% has gonewith one, 1h training per day without GPS.
I like multitasking, wifi (fast watch faces synchro), but AOD drains battery a lot I decided to disable AOD, sleep tracking, switched heart rate to 10min. interval and after 24h battery decreased from 56% to 44%, while I know that people with GTR 1 have 1% per day with almost the same settings...
so I'm really disappointed with such battery life...
Do you have any advices?
@Redmundek, my girlfriend has the same problem. I bought GTS2 for her and GTR2 for me and with the same settings I get ±10 days of battery life and she gets ±3! Did you find any solution?
Have you checked the settings for detection method? Try different option and see:
- automatic heart detection - for me it is Ok
- Sleep assistant - may be the root of possible more draining
- Automatic heart detection & sleep assistant - potentialy draining battery a lot (as far as I remember)
Then other options below: activity detection, heart rate alert, all-day stress monitoring, sleep breathing quality.. I have ticked most of them after different tests. No issue with battery draining (I guess)
I'm using a GTR2 but I remember having seen a big change in the battery draining here when I tested different settings.
Good luck.
Hi, I amended sleep monitoring and stress detection and the battery is quite good, even with AOD from 7:00 till 22:00 (which I prefer) it can works c.a. 5-6 days
