Crossbeats Ignite Spectra Plus vs Amazfit GTR: Detailed Analysis

Design and Build Quality

Both models in the Spectra series have a stylish square dial. Spectra Plus and Spectra are now available in two colour options. Spectra Plus is available in Carbon Black and Marine Blue. Spectra, on the other hand, has been released in two tough colours: Basil Green and Graphite Black.

Users of the Spectra Plus version can save up to 150 songs. Users can stream playlists from their watches or connect them to TWS or neckbands. The design of the two variants, on the other hand, is vastly different. The 42mm is more streamlined and athletic; it has a silicone band and most of its designs are monochromatic, giving it a more understated appearance.

The 47mm Amazfit GTR feels more like a traditional timepiece with its titanium or aluminium alloy case and leather strap. The strap’s underside is silicone, allowing you to exercise without damaging the leather — a thoughtful addition.

The face of the 47mm model is obviously larger. We have thin wrists, but it did not appear to be too big; unless you have exceptionally thin wrists, there should be no problem.

Features

Each model has a Retina AMOLED display and 3D curved glass. The Spectra Plus is available in Carbon Black and Marine Blue, while the Spectra is available in tough Basil Green and Graphite Black. Users of the Plus model can store up to 150 songs and stream their playlist through the watch or a TWS or neckband. AI-powered voice assistants are included in the smartwatches.

Display

The Ignite Atlas smartwatch’s 1.69-inch high-definition (HD) display and 500-nit peak brightness improve the outdoor viewing experience for smartwatch users by addressing low brightness and poor visibility in daylight.

The screen is one of the Amazfit GTR’s best features. The 42mm model has a 390 x 390, 1.2-inch AMOLED display, while the 47mm model has a 454 x 454, 1.39-inch AMOLED display.

They both have 326 pixels per inch, the same density as an iPhone 11, resulting in a clear, detailed image despite the size difference. Small letters and numbers are easily legible, and nothing has been distorted during our time with the smartwatch.

We chose a yellow face that stood out on our wrist from the Amazfit app’s large selection of watch faces.

Battery

The Crossbeats Ignite Spectra sequence smartwatches are water and dust resistant, with an IP68 rating. The wearables have a battery life of up to 10 days with normal use and up to 2 days with voice calling. According to the company, these smartwatches can be fully charged in as little as 90 minutes.

In terms of battery life, the Amazfit GTR 47mm outperforms the 42mm model: its larger body can house a 410mAh battery, whereas the 42mm model only has a 195mAh battery. This difference is significant; we didn’t have time to run the battery down to zero from a full charge, but it consumed about 5% without GPS and up to 10% with GPS.

A fully charged battery should last between 15 and 20 days, based on extrapolation. That’s not quite the 24 days of normal use that Huami claims, but it’s plenty.

Fitness and monitoring

When tracking your activity, the Amazfit GTR outperforms when displaying notifications. In comparison to our one-minute manual tests, step count was accurate – when we walked 100 steps, it was always within five – and heart rate was mostly accurate.

The Amazfit app’s level of detail also impressed us: on the step count page, it displays information about your distance travelled, calories burned, and activity history, including whether you were walking quickly or slowly.

While Crossbeats Ignite smartwatches include advanced AI-powered health sensors and voice support. AI-enabled health metrics include a heart rate sensor, SpO2 and blood pressure monitoring, meditative respiration, and sleep monitoring.

Performance

You wouldn’t expect fancy app integrations at this price, especially since the Amazfit GTR runs proprietary software rather than Wear OS, but it delivers.

Weather, heart rate tracking, and ‘find my phone are among the few built-in Amazfit apps that are simple to use on the wrist. However, in general, the GTR is only used to check app notifications. It would occasionally fail to completely register our swipes, especially when we were swiping down on the watch face to access settings or a do not disturb mode. Turning our wrist, on the other hand, consistently activated the display, and we could always see the time at a glance.

The Crossbeats Ignite series, on the other hand, has Bluetooth calling and a maximum brightness of 650 nits.

The smartwatches also include AI-powered advanced health sensors and voice support. A heart rate sensor, SpO2 and blood pressure monitoring, meditative breathing function, and sleep tracking are among the AI-enabled health metrics.

The Crossbeats Ignite Spectra series of smartwatches are water and dust resistant, with an IP68 rating. The wearables have a battery life of about 10 days when used normally and 2 days when used for voice calls.

Crossbeats Ignite Spectra Plus vs Amazfit GTR: Final Verdict

The Amazfit GTR is a low-cost smartwatch with long battery life. It’s unfortunate that its core notification tracking is so limited and its software is so choppy. A crisp display and surprisingly accurate activity tracking, particularly for GPS-enabled outdoor runs, are among the benefits.

The Crossbeats Ignite is also one of the best watches at this price point, with a stunning display, exceptional performance, and long battery life.
