Amazfit GTS
The 1.65-inch screen, with a resolution of 348 x 442 pixels, has a density of 341 PPI. It is very good, made with AMOLED technology, it is very bright, it has Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It is very visible even in the sun, I have used the watch for a few days without taking it off the wrist, it has had no scratches or marks so far.
It is a smartwatch, so like any other, it will mark and monitor various things, such as step counter, heart rate, room temperature (picking up from the cell phone ), monitoring the quality of your sleep, receiving cell phone notifications, and amazingly, mark the hours too.
Huawei Watch Fit
The 1.64-inch screen, very big, with a resolution of 280×456, rectangular format. It is AMOLED, with very good quality for a device of this size.
It has only one physical button to activate the clock, the rest you do use the screen. The bracelets are removable but do not follow a pattern, so you cannot change them in watchmaking. It is very light, weighs 21g without the bracelet, the reason is the construction of the watch to be made of plastic, except for the glass screen. They have ATM5 protection, for physical activities in shallow water, up to 50m deep.

Amazfit GTS
Physical activity monitoring: It has 12 different workouts, ranging from hiking to swimming. Because it has 5ATM certification, it allows you to dive up to 50m, so you can enter the pool without fear. It does not have football monitoring, as in the Amazfit Pace, nor does it monitor weight lifting, despite having a mode called Exercises, which actually only monitors the time and your heartbeat.
IPA, Artificial Intelligence of Activities, is an index created by the Norwegian University of Sciences and Technologies, it showed that for physical well-being, people who maintain IPA above 100, have a lower risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes This number is calculated by your activities during the 7-day period. The longer you are in moderate or intense activity, the higher your IPA.

Daily measurements also mark, the step counter and heart rate are two faithful markers. We also have a blood oxygen meter, SpO2. For girls, they have the monitoring of cycles, in addition to the sleep monitor, which I use frequently. Sleep monitoring is qualified in deep sleep time, light sleep and some more indexes, at the end of the period it creates a note for the night slept.
The big screen of 1.64 inches, is AMOLED, with HD resolution, very cool. It has several options for dials, including you can place a photo in the background. Another benefit of the big screen was Huawei putting animations of various exercise modalities.
The barometer is a sensor used to measure air pressure, this in a mobile device is responsible for identifying your current altitude in relation to the sea, that is, it serves to monitor the altitude in your physical activities. Now imagine you climbing the Serra do Rio do Rastro by bike, a 25km route with an altitude of 1400m, then you get up there and the activity will mark the only 25Km. Yes, this is what you will see in the results of the Huawei app.
Battery
Amazfit GTS
With 220mAh, one of the smallest, but very effective. It takes about 2 hours to complete the charge with a magnetic charger.

The battery is another weakness. You know that since Huawei sent the first Watch GT, where the battery lasts for two weeks without much activity, you’re used to it. The Watch Fit has 180 mAh of battery, against more than 400 mAh of the entire Huawei line. What does that mean? If you practice outdoor activities with GPS on, about 1 hour a day, you will have a battery for a maximum of 5 days.
Conclusion!
Amazfit GTS
If you are a person who is just starting out in physical activities, and you want a heartbeat monitor, light and long-lasting, yes it can be a good option.
For someone with more emphasis on sports and who enjoys racing, it is not the best deal. There we have other models like the Amazfit Pace for values below that and that supply and still contemplate with other mechanisms of physical activities.
Huawei Watch Fit
The Huawei Watch FIT is a very comfortable smartwatch, it has limitations to make it cheaper, but it sinned too much for the battery much smaller than the Huawei standard. But on the other hand, this battery is better than the Galaxy Watches.
Another problem we encountered was the lack of a barometer, And finally, Huawei’s software needs to improve in a fundamental aspect that is auto-pause. Pedalers know how important it is to automatically pause the activity, so you don’t miss the average pace and avoid forgetting to reactivate the activity. This issue can easily be corrected with the software on all Huawei smartwatches.
Between the two of them, we would go to Amazfit, although it does not have a blood oxygen reading, something that FIT does. A barometer for both running and cycling is extremely necessary for those who like numbers.
