Quick Answers to Your FAQs

1. How much music can I store on my Amazfit GTR 3 Pro?

The storage capacity for music on the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro is limited. You can typically store around 2-3 GB of music, which translates to about 500-700 songs depending on the file size.

2. Can I use a different music streaming service besides Spotify?

Currently, the Amazfit GTR 3 Pro only supports Spotify for music control directly through the smartwatch. However, you can still transfer music from other streaming services or your local music library using the “Local Music” option in the Amazfit app.

3. Is it possible to transfer music from my computer to my smartwatch wirelessly?

Direct wireless transfer of music files from your computer to your smartwatch is not currently supported. You’ll need to use a USB cable to connect your watch to your computer and transfer the music files manually.

4. What happens if I run out of storage space on my watch for music?

If you run out of storage space, you can delete music files from your smartwatch using the Amazfit app or by connecting your watch to your computer and deleting the files from the “Music” folder.

5. Can I use my Amazfit GTR 3 Pro as a standalone music player without my phone?

While you can play music stored on your smartwatch, it requires a connection to your phone for initial setup and syncing. The smartwatch itself doesn’t have internet connectivity or access to streaming services without your phone.
