During CES 2021, Amazfit announced their latest smartwatches the Amazfit GTR 2e and GTS 2e, offering a similar aesthetic and feature set to the existing Amazfit GTR 2 & GT 2 but at a lower price point.

I reviewed the Amazfit GTS 2 back in December and found it to be a superb option for anyone wanting a GPS equipped smartwatch that can sync with Strava (something Honor & Huawei watches can’t do).

So how do the new watches compare?

Amazfit GTR 2e & GTS 2e vs GTR 2 & GT 2 Smartwatches

GTR vs GTS – Almost the same but different design

First up, the two models in each series are essentially identical, just different shapes. The GTR models use a circular display, which makes them physically larger but the actual display is smaller at 1.39 inches vs 1.65 inches.

With a smaller display comes a lower resolution, in turn this creates a difference in battery life.

There are also some colour and strap differences which is covered in the table below.

New GTR 2e & GTS 2e models don’t lose much

The new come in at a lower price point, but there is not much difference overall. The main changes are:

  • 2.5D curved surface borderless design vs 3D
  • No Wi-Fi (Bluetooth only)
  • No Speaker
  • Added a temperature sensor
  • Improved battery life.

That’s it. If you are not too fussy about the design, the improved battery life of the GTR 2e & GTS 2e could make them more tempting than the older models.

Amazfit GTR 2e & GTS 2e vs GTR 2 & GT 2 Price & Availability

  • The Amazfit GTS 2 has an RRP of £159.00
  • The Amazfit GTr 2 has an RRP of £159.00
  • The Amazfit GTR 2e is £119.00
  • The Amazfit GTS 2e is £119.00

So, you basically save £40 for something that looks slightly less aesthetic, which I think is a bargain.

The GT2 2e is available now from Argos, the GTR 2e will be available from Feb
