The GTS 4 mini is a great watch for those who are looking for a lightweight and stylish watch. It has a metal frame with slightly rounded corners, which makes it very light and easy to wear. The quality of the bracelet is good, but it might not be the best if you have a hard time finding the right fit for your wrist.
The watch has a lot of features, but some of them are not very user-friendly. The digital crown on the back doubles as a power button, which is great if you want to turn off the watch or change the time. However, it can be difficult to find and use the function buttons at first. The heart rate sensor and SpO2 sensor are also on the back of the watch, but they are not very easy to find and use. Additionally, the watch is water resistant up to 50 meters deep, but we found that it was not very durable when we took it swimming or diving.
The GTS 4 mini is a small step up from its predecessor, the GTS 2 mini. The screen size has increased from 1.55 to 1.65 inches, and the resolution has improved slightly. It is still an AMOLED display that supports the “Always on Display” feature. The display is by far one of our favorite aspects of the GTS 4 mini. It is sharp, vibrant, and sufficiently bright that you can easily read the time even outdoors in direct sunlight. However, there are some downsides to this display. First of all, it can be a bit too bright for some people and it can also be a bit too reflective for those who want to use their phone in low light situations. Additionally, while the resolution has improved slightly, it is not as high as other displays on competing phones such as the iPhone XS or Samsung Galaxy S9+. ..
We found that the Always On Display (AOD) on our watch was slow and did not respond smoothly to our touches/taps. Even though the edges around the display are a bit thick, they don’t detract from the overall experience as the deep AMOLED blacks blend well with the black edges. When we first received the watch, the always-on display worked great and automatically turned off at night according to our schedule. But that soon changed: The AOD no longer turned off automatically at night, and even when we tried to disable the AOD altogether, it stayed on. No sooner said than done: A quick factory reset fixed our problem.
