DISCLAIMER: MOREPRO SENT US A REVIEW UNIT OF THE GT2 WATCH BUT ALL THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS ARE OUR OWN

The MorePro GT2 smartwatch is about as simple, functional and user friendly as smart watches go. At a retail price of only $59.95, the GT2 offers ECG and heart rate monitoring while also offering fitness tracking capabilities as well. For those looking for an easy to set up fitness tracker that won’t break the bank, this may very well be an affordable and viable option.

Touch & Feel

Here at The Sypnotix, we are big fans of smart watches and budget fitness trackers. The MorePro GT2 has some resemblance to the Mobvoi GTH that Alex had previously reviewed but is a little larger with more weight behind it. It compensates for the 55 gram weight with its huge 1.54 inch touch screen display. To the right of the watch face is an ECG measurement sensor and a rotating crown. I’m keen to pushing the ECG sensor more than I am the subtle dial above it. This is an annoyance for accidental presses which happens frequently. However, given that you cannot push the ECG sensor button in, it is a quick adjustment to do whatever you’re trying to do on the watch. The provided rubber watch band is comfortable for long term wear and looks decent on any wrist. Although the design does not particularly stand out in my opinion, the MorePro GT2 has a clean and simple look that can accompany outfits as outlandish as you’d like.

Display & Interface

The MorePro GT2 has an incredibly simple UI on their own proprietary OS that makes it easy for anyone to wear. Although there is some noticeable latency when it comes to responsiveness, the GT2 makes it fairly easy to access all its functions. Swiping up and down will rotate through your available watch faces while a simple swipe right will get you access to sports mode and all the health tracking available on this watch. You can also directly adjust the notification settings you want to receive on your watch. I’m currently using the GT2 with my iPhone 12 Mini and it was a seamless setup process. MorePro advertises the GT2 will connect to any iPhone on iOS 9.0 and up or Android devices operating on 5.5 or higher.

Although changing notifications directly on the watch is incredibly useful, I did find the vibration on the GT2 to be too subtle in certain scenarios. While walking the dogs or exercising, I would often miss notifications because I barely felt the watch vibrating on my wrist. While this was frustrating in those scenarios, the GT2 is convenient for those in offices or Zoom calls who want more subtle notifications that are less intrusive.

I also appreciate the larger 1.54 inch display, as it is much easier to see notifications on. If there were one suggestion I’d recommend to MorePro when it comes to the display, it’d be to change the font type for these notifications. It’s a generic font that I think a lot of off-brand smartwatches use, but it’s unattractive, hard to read and not very legible. The font goes a long way to improving the standing of the smartwatch to the general user. It distinguishes what feels cheap and what feels more expensive than it really should be.

Functions & Usability

What I love about the evolution of smartwatch technology is that each year, there’s more added features being included to affordable watches for all users. The GT2 is no different. This watch supports S-p02 tracking which can monitor blood oxygen levels. It also functions as a sleep monitor and offers ECG and heart rate monitoring as well. For the most part, these health tracking functions seem to work pretty well. The ECG monitoring takes longer than some other smartwatch brands to load but data appears accurate and convenient to view.

For those looking to swim with the watch, the GT2 is IP68 waterproof. Unfortunately, there was a part of me that wished activity tracking was more easily automated. The GT2 offers 10 sport modes that you can activate like other fitness trackers that will help track your activity levels and movement. Without setting this before your run or bike ride, the watch just really isn’t that accurate. There’s been quite a few days where I will wear the watch out and forget to select my activity before heading out and I’ll find out later that I only walked 29 steps during the day when I had walked for at least a mile already. There’s definitely room here for some improvement in terms of user friendly flexibility.

Battery life is pretty solid on the GT2 meaning you won’t have to charge everyday even with heavy usage of the watch. With a 220 mAh battery, the watch fully charges in a few hours and uses magnetic charging in the form of an included cable that connects via USB-A. There’s no frills here to the charging schematics, but I have found it easier to flip the watch over while charging so that the magnetic attachment can securely attach to the watch. Although MorePro advertises a 5-10 day battery life, the max I have gotten on a full charge is 5 days. Still pretty good.

The WoFit App

Setting up the watch is easy with the WoFit app. You simply connect via Bluetooth and can monitor and edit settings accordingly. Setting up goals such as sleep goals and step goals is easy and can be adjusted in-app conveniently. If you prefer, you can also change the language as well and set reminders and edit notification settings. While the WoFit app is in no way as robust as other smartwatch brands we’ve seen, it’s a solid offering especially considering the price point and no frills setting of the GT2.

Should You Buy It?

The MorePro GT2 offers quite a lot for a sub-$70 smartwatch. Considering the inclusion of a vibrant (and large) display and full monitoring functions, the GT2 makes a great gift for the budget tech enthusiast who is looking for a no frills fitness tracker. Although there are some features I hope MorePro improves on in future renditions, I’m looking forward to seeing more of what they offer.
