      Ian, 13 Apr 2021The only thing that stops me from buying this watch is that... moreThis watch does have NFC but there's no way to use it right now.

            Listing fitness tracking specs is not useful, and neither is casual testing of HR and steps count, or whatever. Most wrist devices fail under load, like sprinting, running uphill, etc.. Fitness trackers like Garmin do a much better job, and Apple does so as well. But there isn't a single Chinese brand that provides accurate info under load (and neither does Samsung), so these reviews are largely meaningless if you care about real fitness tracking.

              [deleted post]Read every other review.
              They are all the same. This watch isn't that good at all.

                I didn't expect it to be that bad

                  Have you heard of dictation using the mic on some smartwatches, just get that & stop whining

                      The only thing that stops me from buying this watch is that I use I watch for NFC as well as everything else. I have the OnePlus phone which I absolutely love, and so it baffles me why you wouldn't put NFC into this smartwatch in today's world.

                        I am waiting for full communication support, conversations as part of applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal on smartwatches . Otherwise, it's just a defective product, not a smart one. Because if I have a watch with LTE and I need a phone, why do I need an expensive toy? Dosent matter its Samsung Watch (active), Apple, Garmin or Huawei.
                        Why ? Why not ? If someone doesn't want to, don't use it, but probably every new option will be useful.
                        For example - you go running or something, you don't want to take phone, you get a message, but you want to write back - just a 5-6 word message, but nothing of the "ready" made ready to answer.
                        A lot of phones have touch screens, so it's more software than hardware. I type these 6 words and that's it, is that such a problem? This is a system-level thing in the watch or rather an application like WhatsApp, Telegram and the possibility of responding because the hardware allows it, there is LTE / GSM, so where is the problem?
                        Fear of producers that people will start using watches without phones? So completely separate and maybe their income will drop somehow?

                          I would like to point out the leather strap is not switched out in India due to cost cutting, but rather due to the fact that cows are considered holy in India. Please do some research before making such claims. Thanks.

                              The watch failed every review out there.

                              Guess OnePlus finally settled.

                                [deleted post]Yes they are subjective and thats the point with every other review sites out there. They cant be really objective.

                                He is right about evrything - design od generic and Watch are more like Band with bigger and rounder screen.

                                  Always-On display should really be a standard at this point.

                                    Operating system is same as Amazfit GTR 2. Everything is same including various watch face.
