Run by the Zepp OS operating system, the GTR 3 is compatible to various mini-programs (a type of app with no download required), such as those reminding users to drink water and those allowing them to listen to music on NetEase Cloud Music and take pictures with a GoPro. Users can develop mini-programs and design watch faces using the development package available on Huami’s official website.

Further, the GTR 3 model is engineered with the third-gen BioTracker, enabling 24/7 monitoring of one’s health conditions including the heart rate, blood oxygen level, and sleep quality. The watch, which also features 150+ exercise modes as well as NFC, WeChat Pay and Alipay offline payment, boasts a battery life of up to 21 days.

Built on the basis of the GTR 3 specs, the GTR 3 Pro adopts a 1.45-inch super retina AMOLED screen with 480×480 resolution and 331 ppi. This pro version comes with the PumpBeats blood pressure tracker engine, plus features of Bluetooth calling, offline voice assistant and standalone music playing.
