There are plenty of users around the world who do not like bulky and large-dial watches. Keeping this customer base in mind, Amazfit introduced their mini-series into their GTR model lineup. The watch boasts an extremely lightweight design along with a sleek outfit that can easily compete with its recently launched sibling in September 2022, the Amazfit GTR 4. In this article, we will see all the specifications that have been packed into the GTR Mini and try to analyze how they will perform in the long run.
Body Design
Available in three soothing colors, including Misty Pink, Ocean Blue, and Midnight Black, the Amazfit GTR Mini comes with a dimension of 42.83 x 42.83 x 9.25 mm. The watch shows 37 g on the scale when weighed with the strap on, and 24 g without the strap. The strap is made of a skin-friendly silicone material that has a 20 mm width, comes with an interpolation buckle, and is very flexible. The back of the watch comes with a glazed panel that shares the same color as the strap. The design of the watch looks extremely minimalistic and polished with its stainless steel finish, and it has only one button. The button can be used to activate menu options and also get back to the home screen. A long press of the button will activate different features that can be easily customized. For further protection, the Amazfit GTR Mini comes with 5 ATM water resistance.
Display
The Amazfit GTR Mini comes with a vibrant 1.28 in HD AMOLED display, which is mesmerizing and sleek. A curved glass is used for the watch to make a full 360-degree view possible, and this has further enhanced the premium look of the device. The Amazfit GTR Mini boasts a pixel density of 326 PPI and has an anti-fingerprint coating on the display, which will save the device from irritating fingerprint smudges. The nits of brightness have not been mentioned by the company, but for both indoor and outdoor use, the display is pretty adequate. You can further upgrade your display from the more than 100 watch faces that come with the device. It also offers a Portrait mode similar to that of the Apple Watch where you can upload up to 3 images of your choice and each time the display wakes up, you will see a different image, which is cool.
