Amazfit T1 Mini has just been released and so is the second version of the popular toning and fitness equipment. The main aim with these two models is to provide people with a way of exercising without getting bored and also in the comfort of their own home. In the past I've found that when I chose a piece of fitness equipment, I tended to stick with it for a while, even though I was not enjoying the exercises that were being performed. With the Amazfit T1 Mini though, I soon got bored and decided that it was time to move on.
But I didn't. In fact, I'm still using some of the fitness machines that I bought when I first started out. The one thing that makes them enjoyable is that I don't need to get up and go out of the house to use them. I can simply press a button on my computer and they start working. When I'm done with them the vibration and movement gets me excited and I end up feeling much better than when I first began.
So, does the Amazfit T1 Mini have call notification? Well, I have no idea. I do, however, remember the set up process, which was rather easy but also took some time to get used to. Once I got the hang of it though, it was quite fun using the machine and even finishing some of my workout sessions. Sometimes when I'm using the treadmill for an extended period, I will be tempted to get up and walk around a bit, but then I usually remember why I'm exercising in the first place.
Another question that comes to mind is whether or not the Amazfit T1 Mini has built-in heart rate monitors. On some fitness machines you're able to input your heart rate information so that the machine will tell you when to hit certain buttons. This helps keep you motivated because you're constantly reminded of how many calories you've burned, how many reps you've performed, etc. When I'm doing a workout session and I get discouraged because I'm not completing the required number of reps or don't feel like I'm getting the optimal amount of calories burned, I know that this is an area where I can quickly refer to my watch and know exactly what I need to do in order to maximize my workout sessions. Obviously, the monitor on the T1 Mini doesn't have this functionality.
Does the Amazfit GT Sport Disc put a waller on my workouts? It's definitely one thing to be able to use the treadmill and have a wall while you workout, but sometimes you want a little bit more freedom. I can walk right up to the machine and do my workout from there. If the wall is right next to the machine though, I don't really see a problem with that. I can get up from my seat and walk over to the wall to do my warm ups and stretches.
Are the screens in the monitors too small to read properly? Sometimes I accidentally touch the wrong button when I'm doing my warm ups. Other times, I may have to move my arm a little to reach it. Other times, I will accidentally touch the wrong button when I'm doing my regular rep sets. These issues certainly didn't present any problems when I was using the Forex Autopilot system, but if those same issues presented any when using the Amazfit GT Sport Disc I would definitely find that it's a minor irritant.
Another thing that bugged me about these two machines is that they're only available in certain stores. I live in California so I had to track down the ones in my area first. After that, I had to track down the ones in several stores (all within an hour of each other) in order to compare them with each other. It took me nearly two weeks to finally get my Tassimo and my Amazfit GT, and while the price difference between them is minimal, I feel like it could have been much easier if they were available locally.
So does the Amazfit GT actually get call notifications? Yes, it does. They're not always very clear, but if you press the notification shade you can see that it will record your workout. The screen is also very bright and easy to read. I really liked all of the things I saw about the GTS and I think once I bought it I will be a big buyer of these watches.
