The Amazfit GTR 2 family added a new member last week. The new smartwatch is the Amazfit GTR 2 eSIM Edition and it joins the Amazfit GTR 2 and the Amazfit GTR 2e. The new smartwatch adds an eSIM, allowing users to be able to make and receive calls among other functions without the need for a connection to a phone. What this means is that you can leave your phone at home and still be able to make and receive calls as well as reply to an SMS. Owners can decide to use the same number as the one for their phone or get a new number for the watch.
Huami has put a price tag of ¥ 1999 (US$ 305)
on the Amazfit GTR 2 eSIM and it is already available for purchase in China in
Obsidian Black. The watch is compatible with all three major Chinese operators
(China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom).
Save for the eSIM and surprisingly, the
battery capacity, the rest of the specs are the same as those of the standard
Amazfit GTR 2. The display is a 1.39-inch AMOLED screen with curved glass on
top and a polished aluminum alloy frame.
The smartwatch has support for 90 sports
modes and can autodetect 6. It has a BioTracker 2 PPG sensor that monitors the
user’s heart rate in real-time. There is also support for Blood oxygen level
detection and sleep tracking. The Amazfit GTR 2 eSIM has Xiao AI assistant
which has both online and offline functions. It also has NFC, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, and
Bluetooth 5.0.
The surprising part is the battery
capacity which is much smaller at 338mAh compared to that of its siblings which
is 471mAh. The specification page says that the watch will last 48 hours in
heavy usage mode, 96 hours in standard usage mode, and 14 days in power saving
mode. The charging time is put at 2 hours.
There is no news yet of a global release
of the Amazfit GTR 2 eSIM.
