AMAZFIT GTS 2E / GTR 2E
£119, amazfit.comTwo new smartwatches from Amazfit here...
sort of. The eagle-eyed among you may notice
that they’re rather similar in looks and in name
to the GTR 2 and GTS 2 released last year, a
slimline circular watch in the first case, and a
definitely-not-Apple-Watch square shape in the
latter. But these are not they; the ‘e’ versions
drop Wi-Fi connectivity to boost the battery
life significantly, with Amazfit claiming they’ll
run to 45 days on a charge, and they add
stress, heart rate and sleep tracking too, as well
as a blood oxygen measurement. The release
of these models in China also appears to include
a skin temperature sensor, though we’re unsure
if that’ll be activated when they reach us. We
will, though, likely see better haptic feedback,
along with extra modes for activity tracking.T3 SAYS: Top smartwatch features for less
cash? Sounds like a deal.AIRTHINGS HOUSE KIT
£269, airthings.comNot to harp on what is by now a well-worn
trope, but your house is probably getting a lot
more use these days. It’s where you are. It’s
where you’re exhaling all that damp breath, and
potentially inhaling lungs full of delicious radon
gas. That’s something you probably don’t want
to do too much of. When we put it like that,
Airthings’ extensive air-quality monitoring tech- recently upgraded to include smarts that can
sniff out the signs of mould – seems like a
no-brainer; the new House Kit brings together
an Airthings Wave, a Wave Mini, and an
Airthings Hub to offer the two satellite units
internet connectivity. The combo allows you to
check for radon, volatile organic compounds,
temperature and humidity around your home,
and its app offers all kinds of useful advice for
ensuring your air stays the best it can be.
T3 SAYS: Breathe it in. That’s the good stuff.IMAGE^SOURCE:^ AMAZFITIMAGE^SOURCE:^ AIRTHINGS
