Well maybe I got a duff copy, the AF was fast and accurate, the IS worked fine, but that was about it for the positives. Yes it is big and heavy, but the FF equivalence was so appealing, a1200mm lens! At this price point I had high expectations, which I think is fair. I have a Pentax 150-450mm which is significantly cheaper (by about £600) which I was comparing this lens to. Also I have an Olympus 300mm F4 Pro lens. Now the Pentax lens for me is just there as a benchmark for what a super telephoto zoom can do, clearly it has no relevance to OM shooters, but it set my expectations. The big Pentax 450mm is sharp wide open, significantly more so than the OM 600mm. There were no images I was totally happy with – out of a hundred I shot there was only one I was vaguely happy with – all were soft, even after stopping down a little and sharpening in post. I’ve been doing photography for over 20 years, and I know a soft lens when I see one (this is reminiscent of the old Sigma 150-500 which was acceptable only at narrower apertures) – it could be that my copy was just a dud, as others seem far happier with it, or it could be that I have higher expectations. I’ve seen sharp images from this lens, but they were all very close subjects which is not much of a challenge. I found I was better off using the 300mm Pro with a teleconverter (1.4) and cropping. Results were noticeably sharper and I could shoot wide still. in short there is no two ways about it, the 150-400 is the one to get, but you need to sell your car and a kidney to get it. 6 people found this helpful

May 2022 Verified Purchase Really happy with the GTS 3! 11 days after the first charge it reached 10% and I charged it up again, very impressed! I’m not a serious expertise/tracking user, I’ve been on a few long walks in that time and I’ve been playing around with it a fair bit, using the timer, reading notifications and general messing around so I’m pretty surprised it lasted so long! Nice collection of watch faces on the app and online. Nice, smart looking user interface with all the features i want. Check out YouTube videos for a better idea Could be a little cheaper… I saw some fossil watches are a little cheaper than this, kind of wish I’d got one… All in all I’m still very happy with the watch!

Pros: – Premium build look and feel – Great hardware as it has the latest sensor – Continuous sp02 tracking – Fast measurements – OK battery life – Not too heavy – Good screen bright and vivid with smaller bezels. -Support for new apps -Accurate sleep tracking -smooth ui with no lags -GPS locks really fast -Alexa works well and faster than previous models -it also has offline voice commands for starting timers starting workouts etc. These commands can be customised as well. Cons: – not well thought through software. For example metrics like resting calories burned (the one in blue from the pic attached) or recovery time are visible on the watch but not on the phone app and hence can’t be recorded or tracked. I don’t get why. – Accuracy is a mixed bag. Heart rate seems accurate but then I got an activity notification asking me to walk and that I have been sitting for the last 1 hour. This came just 5 mins after having walked to a chair and having sat down. So it can’t be right. Also I woke up this morning with 20 steps on the counter which I certainly didn’t do. To be fair I have had this with other trackers as well -Some pages in the watch have useless info like telling me to look for more detailed info on the phone app (see picture) . – Most settings can be accessed from the phone app but some, like icon theme changes can only be changed from the watch. I don’t get why is there a need to Bury these deep inside settings when they could have another tab in the phone app along with watch faces. – Watch face elements are no longer clickable like previous amazfit watches. For example clicking on your step count on the watch face won’t take you to the activities app like it does on the Gts2 mini. – Some watch faces from previous gen models like the one with the 5 day weather forecast are missing. Yes I really need to check the weather all the time. – Battery life is just OK. I burned through over 20% in 24 hours with no always on display and 1.5 hours of GPS and no animated watch face. Spo2 and stress monitoring were on the whole time. -While bezels have reduced they are still very much present and do not match up to premium offerings from top brands. -The new rotating crown is also a gimmick as you can only use the crown to scroll. To select stuff you still must still tap on the screen thus defeating the whole purpose of a hardware button. For example if you want to use the button while wearing gloves. Overall its a premium watch but the software feels unpolished. For this price I expected more. Given amazfit make value for money watches this didn’t feel like good value for money. The previous Gts2 mini is much better value for money in my opinion. This is a definite step up from the Gts2 mini but barely. It certainly doesn’t warrant paying double. If you want to have the latest sensor and like the amazfit os then getting the round one might be better as that has a bigger 450mah battery vs the 250mah on this one.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2024 Verified Purchase What a disappointment!!! Bought watch for my wife after her Fitbit gave up on her. Initial impressions were great, nice looking watch when box was opened, but then it very quickly ended. Tried to turn the watch on when taking it out the box for 1st time and it had zero charge. Thought this was odd as usually brand new electronic items like these come with some charge? But no problem, so plugged and attached charger and left for 30 – 45 mins which gave the watch 94%. Proceeded to download accompanying app as prompted using QR code and started pairing watch with wife’s phone. Half way through pairing watch buzzes and then switches off?! Watch is now completely unresponsive? Tried attaching to charger again, tried different methods of pressing power button and nothing!? Didn’t even get to use the thing once!!! So disappointing. Back to searching for another smartwatch brand I think!!
