Call of GT
AMAZFIT GTS 2 & GTR 2
If you want an Apple Watch with an always-on display and SpO2 blood
oxygen sensor you’ll have to pay at least £379 for the privilege – but
Amazfit’s new pair offer both for around half the price. The GTS 2 and
GTR 2 also come with GPS, Bluetooth 5, 12 sport-tracking modes and
3GB of music storage, and are waterproof to 50m. The most obvious
difference between the two models is visual – the GTR 2 is the one with
the 1.39in circular screen, while the GTS 2 has a more Apple-esque
rectangular display that measures 1.65in – but the GTR 2 also has
a larger 471mAh battery compared to the other watch’s 246mAh.

BOSE FRAMES TEMPO
The thing with running, cycling, skiing... in fact, most outdoor exercise
wearing earbuds, is that one might fall out and go AWOL. So Bose isn’t
giving up on sunglasses with speakers. The three latest pairs in its
Frames range all promise the functionality of premium earphones, but
the most interesting are the Frames Tempo: sport sunglasses that are
durable and lightweight, and come with three different nose-pad shapes
to stop them slipping down your face mid-run. A 22mm driver sits in
each temple – loud enough, Bose says, to cycle at 25mph while still being
able to hear what you need to hear around you.
