Amazfit - T-Rex 3 Pro

I've had it for a few days and I don't share the experience on that article. I have a lot of different smartwatches and I can say that so far it's one of the best I've tried. There have been already a number of reviews that are diametrally opposite to that wired review as well. Judging by the publication date it's possible they had an early review sample. There have been numerous software updates since.

Amazfit Balance 2 should be about that price. The T-Rex 3 as well for something more sporty. The T-Rex 3 pro is out of that price range, but it's worth the extra. Or Bip 6, or Active 2 round or square, for a cheaper option with the same sensors and 90% of the features and limited local storage. The current gen of Amazfit devices are really very good.

Pixel watch 2 has been phenomenal for me despite the small screen and the poor battery life. But it's been dependable and still has some of the best sensors available on a watch. I've recently switched from it to an amazfit t-rex 3 pro and what an absolute beast it is. Better in every way that matters to me except maybe contactless payments. Top notch sensors, a large bright amoled display, the torch is excellent and more useful that I can express, sports tracking is spot on with plenty of detail and configurability, and I can squeeze about 10 to 12 days off the battery with heavy usage. Love it.

Amazfit t-rex 3 pro.

I love Amazfit. I have the T-Rex and T-Rex 3, the 3 gets about 14-18 days of battery even with GPS on.

I have in the past but now I use a dedicated bike computer. There are some well within your budget that have maps and would be way better than trying to navigate using a small watch screen. There are a couple of Magene computers you can get on AliExpress that are highly rated for the $$. If you are really committed to having a watch, there are a lot of Garmin competitors that would work. I'm thinking Amazfit Trex (or one of the many other watches in the range), Huawei GT etc. off the top of my head.

the t rex 3 pro seems good and it has calling functions the torch light seems super useful as well, i am so tempted to upgrade from my already excellent t rex ultra

t rex 3 pro 44mm version is a good one

Depending on what features we are talking about, Garmin Venu 3 and Amazfit (Balance, TRex) both are delivering strong battery.

Trex 3 pro. You're welcome ;)

I have a Fenix 8. Instead of a Garmin, I'd suggest go for a Trex 3 Pro. Its the best combination of a smart watch and sports watch and much cheaper than the Garmin flagships.

I had the series 10 and went for the t-rex 3 pro, I sometimes go for a swim, and the button navigation Is a must. Loving this Watch, I like you Hope for a Better long term support and maybe some Better Watch face

I don't think you can get a bigger bang for buck than with amazfit. Active 2 premium does 90%+ what the apple ultra 2 does? For around 10% the cost? Crazy. Want something bigger and 'fancier'? You got balance 2 and t rex pro 3 that look really good and are even a bit bigger with better battery, and more durable. 

Just got mine, does everything I need, love the look and size. Has serious potential. HOWEVER……..the 2 most important things for me personally is for it to sync with “lose it” and just control my music from my phone. Both of which I am running into issues with. I have 30 days to figure it out. Hopefully I can cause I really like everything else about it. BUT those 2 things are deal breakers for me. Fingers Crossed🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Technically yes, but I have been using it for 6+ years as my “macro” tracker or food logger. So it has 6 years of my entering certain foods into it which now makes my meal tracking take me less than 2 minutes a day to enter. I appreciate tech. BUT hate losing all my time entering shit. All this info is great but it’s now costing us time not saving us time🤪🤪. It syncs with my apple health. BUT Zepp won’t read my nutrition data from apple health🤬🤬. Like I said I love this thing so far. But it’s not worth 6 years of my nutrition history. If need be I’ll spend the extra 200$ and get a AW Ultra 2. Hopefully there is a trick or something I’m missing and It will get figured out before my 30 days are up

Trex 3 Pro AND iOS user here….my quick response is DO NOT get it. I am happy with the Amazfit/Zepp platform so far, they seem to constantly trying to improve or make changes. HOWEVER constantly keeping the app open on your phone drains your battery. Very few things cross over to iOS. It is a GREAT looking watch relatively easy to use and understand however like another poster said it’s more of a glorified fitness tracker NOT a smart watch ESPECIALLY when paired with iOS. It may crossover better with android but I wouldn’t know. So fitness tracker very happy……any form of smart watch not impressed or at least not there yet.

I’ve got buyers remorse, it is what it is. So I’m making the best of it. Problem for me is…..I don’t want a smart watch, I enjoy not being bothered, when working out, BUT I want a fitness tracker that controls my music. In hindsight the Bip would probably have been better price wise. I figure by the time this one craps out in a few years the Ultra 2 will be pretty cheap🤞🤞🤞

I recently switched from Garmin Venu 2 Plus to Amazfit Trex 3 Pro. I had been wanting a more rugged fitness tracker with a sapphire lens and a flashlight similar to Fenix 8. But honestly was really against dropping $1k for a watch. Hell that is iPhone Pro prices. I did lots of research and watched a lot of YouTube videos comparing the two. I went with the Amazfit simply because of the budget reasons. I was okay sacrificing a few things if I had to save $700. I'm not three weeks in and I'm pretty happy with my decision. The watch seems very well built and durable. The screen is phenomenal and the user interface is so fast and fluid. It's smoother than the Garmin for sure. The Zepp app is actually pretty good and after learning the bells and whistles I'm just as happy with it as I was Connect. The Trex 3 Pro has a lot of features and I haven't tried them all. But so far so good. I actually spent the first week wearing both of them to sleep and also wearing both while exercising to compare. I found them to be quite similar overall with most fitness metrics. The Amazfit Biocharge pretty closely mimicked Garmin body battery and the sleep scores were fairly similar too. Amazfit seemed to show more deep sleep and less REM when compared to Garmin. Not sure which one was more accurate though. Also the Amazfit counted less steps throughout the day and it made me wonder which one was more accurate. On one day my Amazfit read 10,069 steps while Garmin read 10,475. But a few small tests made me realize that maybe the Amazfit actually did a better job. On my 35 minute curvy road drive to work I watched the step counters in both watches. The Amazfit did not log a single step over the entire drive. Even with both watches on my left arm and driving with my left arm. The Garmin logged 45 steps during the same drive. So I think the Amazfit might be more accurate. Either way, I haven't seen anything with the Trex 3 Pro that makes me regret buying it. So far so good.
