Amazfit GTS 4 Mini review – The compact smartwatch that gives you lots for your money

You can control the watch via its touchscreen and the button on the side which brings up the menu. By swiping you can scroll up and down in the usual way. Tapping on the items requires a little bit of finesse due to the screen’s small size.

The menu shows many of the watch’s features as items, such as health and fitness, weather, music, alarm, calendar and settings. Many other features such as the compass, cycle tracking, stopwatch and countdown, phone searching, and remote camera controlling can be found by tapping “more”. Swiping right takes you back one page.

On the home screen, you can swipe left and right to access different widgets. Swipe left and you can see tiles laying out today’s activities, your current heart rate, the weather, Alexa shortcuts and sleep data. These widgets can be customized. Swipe down and you can access a menu which includes sleep mode, a flashlight and a few other features – swipe up and you can see your notifications. Nothing new, basically.

You can customize your home screen through some free and many paid watch faces. The standard face shows lots of information at a glance, such as time and date, activity rings, steps and calories, heart rate, battery status, and the weather. Additionally, the watch has its own app store where you can download free and paid apps to extend the watch’s range of uses.
