I own the GTS 2 Mini. I like the design, lightweight, long battery.
I also own the Samsung Galaxy Active 1.

Overall the samsung is better because even though amazfit has more battery,
features samsung has that amazfit does not:

calendar
weather - multiple days - updated over wifi (amazfit does 1 day weather)
wifi - amazfit bluetoth only
apps - amazfit no apps

overall if you want just a "watch" amazfit is fine. but compare to samsung feels too basic

My GTS 2 Mini has 7 day weather. Not sure if they have different software for different markets.

Regarding everythign else, true, but 1 day battery life makes the whole thing utterly useless.

Sleep tracking, step counter and the ability to see who is calling and who sent a message is all I personally ever need, and what most people would need.

Not sure what I would do with a calendar on a device like this, because mostly we use calendar only for dentist appointments and such. I simply have notifications set up. Or any other app, can't think of anything I would actually find useful in normal life.

If I had to charge it every day, what good is it? Even 4 days I get with Mini 2 is borderline.
