5 days ago, I got this very nice watch, right now this watch is perfect watch I had. very nice design, amazing display, very smooth and good software, easy to download maps and you can track work out with very good contact with gps. I already have Garmin instinct 2x , but when I wear T Rex3, I like it more than Garmin.
Same Boat. The OG T-Rex is awesome for my uses. The HR monitor gets on nerves sometimes because it's obviously wrong. But other than that I love it. Will probably get the 3 as a personal Gift for Xmas. Been eyeing a Garmin and this is almost as good as a Fenix and that's good enough for me. Now I Can get a new phone and watch and not spend as much as a Fenix. Not hating on the Fenix I just don't think I need so much watch.
Heck, my Original GTR 1 47mm still gives me over 3 weeks of battery life now, been dying to upgrade because the sensors are obviously not as accurate as it's successors nowadays but I just can't being myself to buy one before this dies.
A speaker and a microphone does compromise the waterproofing of the internals, I’m surprised they gave a microphone in an adventure series. Anyways, still rocking my trex pro from 2021! Cheers
Very happy with mine. I agree however that the Sleep Tracking needs improvement. I am at an age where I get up at least once a night around 3AM to have a pee. Even though I get out of bed and take about 15 steps each way to the bathroom, in the morning the watch tells me I had no awake time through the night.
If I want the red display at night or in a dark room, must I manually change it in the settings all the time or will the colour auto change to red after changing it in the settings just 1 time? Also how long does it take to fully charge the watch from let's say 50% or less?
The red display - if I remember correctly - there is a shortcut in the quick toggles. Charging happens within 90 minutes from 0 to 100%. The last 50% are a bit slower though
Can I ask you something? Let’s say you plan going somewhere new to you. How big is the map you can download previous to your trip? A full city? A country? Or just a small area around? Thanks for considering responding
An area around. You can select a rectangle only but zoom in and out. However I was not succesfull uploading a very big map in MB's to the watch. You can upload gpx files, so routes are no problem and gps fills in the map as you walk, its not empty. But possibly that is because of my phone also being present and connected.
Maps are not at Garmin level. Definetely. But you can say that about all the competitors, maybe only polar or suunto could have good maps, Petal maps was good for city, but offline mode maps of huawei sucks. However the watch is very rich, it has some functions that you can found only on trex. Sure, you dont have sapphire or a more elegant style, but it is a good watch for the price and seems they are updating it quite good.
Thank you for the review, actually I do not know which one should I buy T-rex 3 or Balance? I am a programmer and I like hiking and walking . I do not know why I like T-rex more although I think its not for every day watch or what do you think? thanks in advance
T-Rex seems amazing. I am confused among T-Rex 3, Balance and Cheetah Pro. Will the Balance be durable enough to survive drops or extended periods of swimming?
Im an old garmin usuer still got a Vivoactive 3 i was looking to level up and now im stuck between fenix 7pro or that t rex 3. The major point for me is health tracking so im a lil bit scared of Amazfit but the price is so attractive😢. Pliz help me decide.
@TechMishka thanks a lot for your answer I think I'll go with the budget one for now sad to leave Garmin but its just too crazy expensive now 🥲😅. I'll probably get the ring too and still it will be less expensive than Garmin.
I would really like this watch but I still have the T Rex 2 and it's built too well as I can't justify buying a new one. Battery is outstanding and it all still works great. I use be 100% Samsung but I often had to replace my watch as it just couldn't keep up with lifestyle and would wear out and break. My amazafit t rex 2 is unbreakable
29$ per year for subscription to see my trainig stats it's something that shall be double underscored in this review. This may major surprise for someone who considers this watch as alternative for Suunto, Garmin or Polar. As usually if the offer looks to good there must be a catch.
Might be that I was not clear about it - the Aura subscription is for some.specific services. The Aura app runs entirely for free and you have access to all your data.
@@gabs0r What does that mean? What kinds of data will I have without a subscription? I cannot find this information on the Amazfit web pages. So, I did research over discussion forums, and looks like only basic stats are available for free. Frankly speaking, It is really hard to know without buying the watch what are the stats and training support data. In the case of Garmin (as an example) one may easily check the Garmin web page and learn what kind of data and training support functionalities each model of watch has. No quirks. One buy no surprises. This smells like the "razor and blades" sales model.
It's not necessary to subscribe. I just have the watch sync with Strava. I migrated all my Garmin data (going back about 17 years) to Strava years ago. Since leaving the Garmin ecosystem about 9 years ago I've used a variety of GPS watches and each has supported Strava. It's not difficult to migrate and Strava is full-featured and a good place to park my thousands of activities. Garmin Connect is a great platform but it's not better (for me) and I enjoy buying GPS kit that is less expensive, equally accurate, and nicer looking than Garmin. But people should buy what they like. I've worn everything from the first Forerunner, to the first Motorola watch, to Samsung and Amazfit (and many more in between). Amazfit is currently my favorite and athletes should give their kit a shot. It's made very well and they continue to aggressively push into this market with unrivaled value & features to satisfy serious athletes.
very agree on ur "drawback " , sleeping tracking is not accurate ,and Plus one more is : doing Walking , the speed shown not accurate too, i tried same distance with Garmin ,,,, 10+ mins/k but in T-rex ultra is 5 mins/k . Weird thing is outdoor run , very accurate!!!
As a long time Garmin user, I appreciate the competition in the market. I have had every version on the Epix, Fenix 3HR forward, and every Forerunner 945 forward. I’ve also had a lot of their cycling computers and HR belts. Garmin has a great ecosystem. As an Ironman triathlete who loves data, I’m getting over stimulated these days and frankly tired of paying the high prices, like I paid $1,300 for the Fenix 8. I love to collect tech but it’s getting crazy on cost. Having good competition makes all companies get better. As a Garmin user I do believe this watch is getting close to Garmin. In fact the speed at which they developed this watch and their ecosystem, was years ahead of Garmin. That’s what having competition in the market does, makes all companies get better faster. Rising tides raise all ships. Thanks for the great review. I enjoy reading the comments. 😊
@@timwallace3824 I also hope Amazfit keeps developing so their products will be better in the future. Competition is good. But especially on refinement Amazfit isn't close to the likes of Coros and Garmin.
Trust me staying away from radiation feels good. Keep the phone at home, go for a run, come back and take calls. Disconnecting while taking care of your body is important. It is one of the msin reasons I bought it.
If there is one thing you can not say about amazfit then it's that the watches are overpriced. You probably have an Apple watch and your just realized what a stupid decision you made when you put it on the charger every night....and paid even more for it.

Thanks for sharing! Quite nice to see more and more folks enjoying this watch.
I owned Apple & Samsung SW but the Amazfit T-Rex 3 is the best SW I've ever had.
♥️
I have this watch. It's amazing. Ridiculously low price for what you get.
Absolutely
29$ year subscription to see training stats in smartphone app. It is a trap 😊.
I still have OG Trex. Believe me it gives a battery backup of 10 days still after 4 years of usage. I’m waiting for it to die to upgrade one.
Same Boat. The OG T-Rex is awesome for my uses. The HR monitor gets on nerves sometimes because it's obviously wrong. But other than that I love it. Will probably get the 3 as a personal Gift for Xmas. Been eyeing a Garmin and this is almost as good as a Fenix and that's good enough for me.

Keep waiting mate 😂
I have the original T Rex and I love love love the watch the battery life is amazing and I just ordered this watch can’t wait
You are about to like it a lot! Enjoy
Orderd mine last night 👌
Sounds great!
Thank you. Good review. Nice to see that Amazfit finally got the heart rate sensor working well. I will order one next week.
Yeah, the HR accuracy is a very pleasant aurprise
A speaker and a microphone does compromise the waterproofing of the internals, I’m surprised they gave a microphone in an adventure series. Anyways, still rocking my trex pro from 2021! Cheers
Still a brilliant watch ♥️
I still use and love my T Rex 1...
Iconic!
Very happy with mine. I agree however that the Sleep Tracking needs improvement. I am at an age where I get up at least once a night around 3AM to have a pee. Even though I get out of bed and take about 15 steps each way to the bathroom, in the morning the watch tells me I had no awake time through the night.
Seen it happening with me. And I am sure it is a matter of a software update
Just ordered mine, cant wait
Awesome ☺️
How was it?
Excellent review , can't wait to my T REX 3 and Nice T SHIRT
Thanks!

The Berlin map was not that big and pretty detailed. Was just a few megabytes.

If you don't mind the size - Trex 3 is awesome
Thank you, I did get the T rex 3 and really I like it
Amazfit is the brand i always keep on a lookout for new watches they made.
I wonder how many sport modes and activities will have in 4-5 years time😊
I doubt they will get more. Some of the workouts are ridiculous
@@TechMishka yeah but there is still room for couple hundreds more, like backgammon on a surfboard or whatnot 😎
Wanna buy one for tracking stat for running. Is the sensor sensitive enough for tracking? Is the data accurate? Thanks.
Yes, it is
T-Rex seems amazing. I am confused among T-Rex 3, Balance and Cheetah Pro.
Will the Balance be durable enough to survive drops or extended periods of swimming?
Better get the T-Rex for that purpose.
Thinking about getting a smart watch for gps and health tracking, looks like this one would work nicely. Can you upload any maps to the watch?
Yes, you can upload maps, but you need to first download them on a PC
Review is great and amazfit Makes very good fitness smartwatches.. excellent ❤
Glad you think so!
Yes agree it will be perfect with a speaker. Amazfit give us the speaker on Trex 3 pro.😊
👍👍👍👍
Does the voice control work offline? It's a built-in feature right? No need to connect the watch to internet to use it?
It works offline.
Best value in current sport wearables, hands down.
👍
Is it possible to compare the Amazfit T-Rex 3 with the Huawei GT 5 Pro?
Most likely I won't be able to. I do not plan to review the GT series
I have heard that this watch has ECG option, but its not enable in all regions?
Definitely not available for my region 😊
No Zepp Pay in North America. 😓 I still rock T-Rex 3 & the Balance though.
Oh, this is annoying!
Is it now show watt?
is there a watch face for T-Rex 3 that show training load?
Yeah, there are plenty of good sports watch faces.
Nice watch for the price. Not sure I would trust Zepp pay, so Garmin still has the advantage there.
Fair enough!
Good review 👍
I have Amazfit Stratos
I enjoy tennis tracking does T rex offer tennis tracking ?, is Trev a big improvement on Stratos, many thanks
It is, yes. But the Stratos is ICONIC ♥️
Is it also suitable for use as a dive computer?
Well - you can try. I haven't tested this use case yet.
I hope the next Amazfit T-rex 4 will have a microphone
Me too!
I waiting to get this one, but now im not sure is gt5 pro was better buy?
Might be in some ways. I'd pick the T-Rex myself
Is it possible to export fox files of recorded tracks?
Does it recognize chairlifts in ski mode
You can export gpx files. And yeah, you can follow routes using GPX tracks too
Zepp OS UI gets a major overhaul update in less than a week.
👍
I got on 2nd October ❤
Congrats ♥️
Does it have good GPS compared to Garmin? I’m mostly interested in the GPS functionality.
Yeah, the accuracy is great
It's a fantastic device
Totally ♥️
Can I connect 2 phones with the watch? For receiving emails and other notifications.
Thanks
Not possible
How are you supposed to check email, notifications and ride bikes 😂
If use earbud n play song during running, how long battery will survive? 😊
Oh, this will last! Could be more than a day IMO
Im an old garmin usuer still got a Vivoactive 3 i was looking to level up and now im stuck between fenix 7pro or that t rex 3. The major point for me is health tracking so im a lil bit scared of Amazfit but the price is so attractive😢. Pliz help me decide.
Both are great and Trex health tracking is excellent
@TechMishka thanks a lot for your answer I think I'll go with the budget one for now sad to leave Garmin but its just too crazy expensive now 🥲😅.
I'll probably get the ring too and still it will be less expensive than Garmin.
The bezel reminds me a bit of G-shock octagons
Yeah!
Hi guys, does anyone know if the T-Rex 3 has a SUP sports mode on the watch.
Yeah, it is tracked.
Супер, страхотно видео! Има ли го вече наличен в България, защото аз не мога да го намеря все още?
Няма го още, но от немския Амазон можеш да го поръчаш. Аз го взех от там преди две седмици, часовника е топ.
Съгласен с Радо. Вече много от продуктите са с безплатна доставка до България
Does the screen stay turned on during GPS mode? I want to mount this on a bicycle
You can make it always on during sports, yeah
Hi .. what is the best smart watch you recommend under 200 euros to pair with iPhone??
Duh, T-Rex 3. Spend slightly more and you're all set.
Agreed
I would really like this watch but I still have the T Rex 2 and it's built too well as I can't justify buying a new one. Battery is outstanding and it all still works great. I use be 100% Samsung but I often had to replace my watch as it just couldn't keep up with lifestyle and would wear out and break. My amazafit t rex 2 is unbreakable
Keep the 2 and enjoy it! ♥️
How good is the gps? Accuracy? Does it connect instantly?
It is very accurate. Takes only a few seconds to connect
Does it work with iPhone??
Yeah
How to setup nfc
It is in the Zepp App - go to the Zepp Pay feature. According to some comments it is not working in the USA
Hi is there sand color?
No
Not yet
What is better, this one or the ultra?
The Galaxy Ultra? They are very different. This one is great about battery life and sports.
Garmin fenix 8 amoled is 1000 nits brightness. Not 3000.
Thank you for the correction. My bad!
This watch or Huawei watch gt 5 pro
They are different. The Huawei model feels more premium.
The amazfit balance with os 4 is excellent worthy contender verses the trex 3
Indeed
I hate the design with that bar that sticks out to the right of the watch that says Amazfit
🧐
You can’t see it that much.
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it

Pls compare with gt 5 not pro
I will likely not review any of the GT5 series this time
Is this Watch better than the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro?
Might be
I got 33 days before it needed charging
This is AWESOME 😎
my Trex 1 still kicking
♥️👍
By far the best watch
👍
is it that much better than the balance?
Quite similar in many ways
sleep is top for me. will wait the next ver
I hope to see improvements with the updates.
When Fenix 7X was launched it wasn't detecting REM at all
At 9:40 what happened there you've been to everywhere
Football ☺️
It's 300 euro everywhere
👍
200 euro in Vietnam
Does Shazam works on it ?
Nope
If only it had Spotify integration.....😔
Well...
Бооже , след години чак сега схванах, че казваш Tech Мишка 😂

Is this a paid review? Or you bought this watch from your personal money?
If it was a sponsored video I was about to announce it. Most of the watches I review on the channel are my own purchases.

Might be related to the algorithm being slow about refreshing the current speed. Good catch!
Im looking to buy it, is it good for a police man?
I think it is! 🚔
To long spent on workout.
🚴♂️
Trex 3 is better than trex ultra
👍👍
Not a single Garmin user would see this watch as better than the Fenix 6, 7 or 8. It's also not even close to the 965 or Epix 2.
Yeah, and I believe it will not be down to the features, it will be more about prestige.
Like isheeps?
Could you elaborate more on why a Garmin user would say that? I haven't had a Garmin so curious
