    You forgot to mention the amazing battery life on the Amazfit. That's probably the most standout feature compared to other smartwatches.

      He does not have to,because he came from Garmin.

      @@mutant0177 Sure he does. The Garmin Epix Pro he mentioned has roughly 70 hours with GPS on (from what Garmin claimed) while the TRex3 lasts 180 hours with GPS on (although I realistically get 130 hours). It's still twice that of the Garmin.

      True! But there’s so much more I left out. I focus on sharing my thoughts and experiences beyond just specs, or what's in the box. I hope that's what would be of some value to anyone taking the time to watch what I make. I do love any feedback tho 🙏 Thank you. For in-depth spec comparisons, there are amazing RUclipsrs like DC Rainmaker, DesFit, Matt LeGrand, and Chase the Summit.

    You can delete workouts. Go to the workout history and hold down the activity You want to delete. The same goes for the app, under the workout section scroll down to workout history then click the little arow at the top to get to the list of previous activities and hold down the one. They have this weird band system for durability reasons, at least that' s what they say

    I am using Trex. I'm doing downhill ,motocross ,snowmobiling and snowboarding. Only managed to rip the strap when I ended up in a tree. So why change it ?
    And battery is amazing.
    Can live with the drawbacks for the price.

    What I love about Amazfit (because both Balance and Trex3 have it) is setting your own type of vibration for a notification. Garmin could learn this, because sometimes the vibrations are too weak. And the material is first class, a slightly different look than a pure review. 💪

    Hello, how to link the gym membership to my smart watch? 8:01

    • @Aesthetic_Al
      @Aesthetic_Al  5 дней назад

      You use the "Membership Card" app. It's already on the Zepp app I liked it that just Brough it Forward to have it accessible quicker. Then on the zepp app it's pretty straight forward. IT will ask you to scan any barcode and saves it. I added my library card on it this weekend. it works 👍. Hope this helps

    What a great review. Personable and directly showed your experience with some great cinematography. Too many reviewers just read off spec sheets and it was refreshing to not listen to 2-3 mins of specs. If I want to watch a DC rainmaker review I will.

    Wow, this video was so cinematic and enjoyable to watch overall. 😊 Curious if they’ll update the features down the road or keep it as is.

    • @Aesthetic_Al
      @Aesthetic_Al  5 дней назад

      Honestly It's my first product from them so no clue how good they are with updates. in my 5 weeks of having this watch the App (Zepp) got some nice updates.

    Excellent. Great work! For the money, this watch is a great buy. Luckily, I picked up a brand new Epix Pro 51mm sapphire on FB marketplace for $425 shipped so…. 😂
    Have you had any issues with the Epix? Before I open it, I was wondering if it still has issues with lag and what not. It seems Garmin will never address this.

    • @Aesthetic_Al
      @Aesthetic_Al  6 дней назад +1

      Much appreciated. Facts for the price the T rex 3 is very appealing. It's still on sale now too 🙈.The epix has seen so many updates since I got mine on day 1. No current issues with lag.

  • @steveelliott1160
    @steveelliott1160 5 дней назад

    Could you make a video comparing the Amazfit T-Rex 3 vs. the Kospet Tank T3 Ultra. I have an Amazfit Balance which I really like but I hear Kospet is really good for about $100 less.

    Once my Amazfit lost my half marathon race while being poured by water that I drank on the run, I’ve never turned back again and switched to Garmin.

    • @giordicara5594

      I am afraid that this problem it's e great one. They declare 10 atmosfere pressure resistant but maybe that it's a false pretense. This is what happened to me.
      I am a proud owner of the Garmin Swim 2, Huawei Band 8, and other smartwatches, including the Mi Band series. Before deciding to purchase the T-Rex 3, I spent several months following English-language reviews of the new Garmin and T-Rex models. I eventually chose to buy the T-Rex 3.
      The differences I noticed compared to Garmin and Huawei are: the inability to adjust metrics that were not detected in swimming, among other similar issues. I found the sleep tracking to be accurate based on my sensations. However, not being able to add undetected efforts skews other important metrics like recovery time, which is crucial for sports. So far, I would say it’s a good product overall. But, and I hope this doesn’t happen to others, after 18 days of use, the touchscreen stopped working. During charging, instead of charging, it lost 25% of its charge in 7 hours overnight. A few days later, the screen started flickering and then slowly lit up from bottom to top with a high contrast background and lines.
      I immediately reported the problem to online support, who always responded-perhaps with artificial intelligence-but they understood there was an issue. Meanwhile, I tried to use it to compare the T-Rex 3 with the Garmin Swim 2 and Huawei Band 8. The T-Rex 3 beats the Garmin Swim 2 in health monitoring and is in line with the Huawei Band 8, as confirmed by the video. The Garmin Swim 2 is much superior in swimming measurements and accurate style and change detection. However, for the casual user, the T-Rex 3 is more than adequate.
      Returning to the defect, on the 21st day, the screen became completely invisible, although the basic functions remained active. I then noticed a very high battery drain, which is worsening. Today, after being worn overnight from a 100% charge at 11:30 PM yesterday to 9:52 AM today, it dropped to 4%. I had contacted Amazfit support in Bologna immediately after noticing the issue, and they told me that they only send products and that it was pointless to bring it to them before 30/12/24 as they would not ship it. So, I am waiting until the 30th to send the product back.
      I hope this phenomenon does not happen to others and that it is an exception that proves the rule. Meanwhile, the watch is completely drained and powered off... I will try to recharge it...

      It's nice to hear this. It means mine is purely an unfortunate case. I am a master swimmer and thought that maybe something had happened while swimming. Nevertheless, I have used smartwatches for many years without any issue.

    Sorry, i really appreciate your video, but there are too many mistakes... for example you show to try to unmount the upper screws instead the lateral... the upper screws are for the watch, you dont have to touch them. Also, offering an adapter for the quick release strap is a very clever move, you can buy amazfit straps and have a lower weight, or using 2nd parts straps without problem. Also, as someone else noticed, it is possible to delete workout from the watch. Sometimes making too more adv videos limit the quality instead. From a Garmin to an Amazfit you have to talk with the downgrade of maps, that makes Garmin still shiny over the others, or, in opposite, the glove mode on the t-rex for winter use

    Noone smart watch is perfect , I was using garmin watches for hiking and it has many problems with accurecy and software bugs, for me Garmin does not deserve all this money at all, I am testing now Amazfit t rex 3 and it better in many sides than garmin and I for me its very good purchase.

    Dude these things all stink. The entire class of products. This anazefit whatever gets like 50% of the auto detect reps and exercise types were wrong and the dude rates that as "pretty good"... Gtfoh
    Good honest review though so 👍🏻 for the video dude

      Thanks brother. Do my best keeping it 💯 with the community. Stoked on some of the smart features on this watch tho. I feel 2025 Garmin line up is going to adapt some of these. Good for us the consumers 🙌
