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.

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

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.

It is great. I use it daily, and I also own a Balance 2 and an Apple Watch Ultra 2. Have had 3 top Garmin (latest Fenix 8 which I sold last week). Still this one my daily driver; great looks and features, confort to wear despite the size.

I am. But considering that you ar coming from an AW10, this is a very rugged looks. Maybe the Balance 2 suits better?. Still retains the 10 atm depth rating, sapphire, etc. Check the website.

I am happy in general, in the end it depends on the use you give it. For strength training and running it's great, in swimming I don't use it and on the bike it's loose, it has just enough. The GPS accuracy is very good, on par with the best, the altimeter is also good. The application is chaotic and the worst thing is that the battery can't even hold up to what they advertise.

The Amazfit T Rex 3 is a steal for the price and features. They also just released a Pro model which has on board mapping and other features typically reserved for expensive garmin models. Battery life is amazing and GPS accuracy has been great for me in Colorado.

Very satisfied. It offers a lot for what it costs. IMO you can't get this amount of hardware for less.

I have tested a lot of wearables and I can tell you this. Nothing compares to the Apple Watch as far as smart features. If you're looking for top notch sleep tracking Garmin IS NOT THE WAY. Apple's algorithm is far superior to Garmin's. Would the Venu 4 be a good fit for you? Sadly there's only one way to find out. Bite the bullet and get the watch. Worst case scenario you will end up using both, best case you end up making your mind up. I came back to the Apple Watch Ultra because of the integration and the fact that I can go for a run without my phone, but I'm training for a 100k race and the integration of the app I'm using is better in Garmin. I wear my AWU 24/7 and the Garmin when I train. Aaaaand to answer your questions: Why Garmin? The battery life and the metrics during my events (ultras, we're talking about 10 to 17 hours non stop tracking) Regret? Technically not regret, is just that Garmin 24/7 didn't give me as much as an AW did. Since I'm deep into the ecosystem (iPhone and Mac) nothing beats my AW integration. Why AW again? I just decided to test the waters for a bit and now I have more data to back up my decision. Garmin's metrics are nice and all but when you are constantly "harassed" by your watches metrics to do better or that you're not doing enough that is a deal breaker for me. I have enough with my own brain telling me to push harder to have a Goggins watch tell me that my run sucks (looking at you performance conditioning!) just because it is something that goes against the algorithm that Garmin has. From all these experiments (Coros Pace 3, Helio Strap and Ring, Garmin Enduro 3, T-Rex 3 Pro), I can tell you for sure that the best combo for me is the AWU2 24/7 and Enduro 3 while training paired with my Helio Strap (24/7). How did I come up with this? By biting the bullet and actually getting the tech (caveat that most of my tech were gifts from my family who support this nonsense as long as I don't kill myself during training for races XD). Good luck!

Amazfit gives a lot of bang for the buck. Bip 6 if price is a big concern. Active 2 if you want altimeter and barometer plus more storage space. Balance 2 for the most features and polish. Trex 3 Pro if you want more outdoor/adventure features and such. (44mm version coming at the end of this month.)

I am quite satisfied with it, did a full review: https://youtu.be/1Lx09jTAVeI

I have one. Set a route that was 3ish miles, no issues. Supposedly if you set really long ones it chokes, but I haven't tried that yet. The people reporting this also got pre release copies, they may have fixed since then.
