Custom watch faces are a hallmark of top wearables, letting you match your style effortlessly.
The Zepp app (formerly Amazfit) offers a vast library of faces. Sync your favorite to the watch for an instant refresh.
Open the app, select your GTS under My Devices, go to Watch Face Settings, and choose one.
Syncing via Bluetooth may take a few minutes, but the results are worth it. You can also customize faces with clock styles and personal wallpapers.
Adjust settings, then sync to your watch.
Amid endless notifications, distinguishing key alerts from spam is crucial. Custom vibration patterns make it possible.
In the app, navigate to settings and find Vibration Profiles. Select or add a new one.
Tap the screen to create your pattern, then save and assign it to apps.
Enable Press and Hold for instant access to alarms, timers, and reminders—perfect for on-the-go use.
Long-press the side button to activate. Customize it via the watch: Swipe up from the bottom for Settings > Press and Hold.
Select your preferred app or function.
Always On Display (AOD) is a premium feature, shining on the GTS's vibrant 348 x 442 AMOLED screen. It fades to show essentials while sipping minimal battery.
It's off by default: Go to Settings > Always On Display and choose digital or analog.
Manual brightness drains battery fast. Auto-brightness adapts to ambient light, preserving power.
Swipe down for Quick Toggles, tap Brightness, then the 'A' icon.
Pro Tip: Enable Do Not Disturb from the same menu.
Though lacking onboard storage, the GTS excels at remote music control for phones under $150.
Swipe up, tap Music to play/pause, skip tracks, and adjust volume—no phone needed.
Ideal for hikers, these sensors track barometric pressure and altitude. Calibrate the compass first.
Open More > Compass.
Swipe up for pressure and altitude readings, enhanced by GPS.
The Amazfit GTS packs versatile features like auto workout detection and event alerts at an unbeatable value. Tailor these settings to your routine and elevate your experience.
