Got the TRX the day it was available on Amazon. So I've been using it for a couple months already. Besides the fact I can't reply to emails and texts, can't make or take a call? I love this watch! Works flawlessly when working out, swimming, or biking. GPS, GLONAS, ect. I can't live without it. I get any notifications I want, so I don't want to except a call or respond to an email or text while doing these things. But when in a meeting, or out with my wife. I use a galaxy watch 46mm lte chrome. These 2 watches I can't live without lol
I tried skiing tracking today, over 15 laps. It connect to GPS easily, but it is not showing any cumulative distance, just 0.00. It is not working for now
Hey from Guatemala!🇬🇹 Excellent video, thank you for sharing. I have an Amazfit T-Rex and it’s a great watch for workouts. How accurate is the weather on your T-Rex? Does it update automatically or you need to open your Amazfit app to synchronize the weather data? I’m having issues with that. Thank you!
you dont have to carry your phone, you cannot connect directly to strava, you have to use the zepp app (amazfit app) and then add your strava account. by this way, every time you workout, the data will be synced to strava. hope this helps.
Is the brightness of the screen enough in the bright daylight outdoors? I watched GTS' brightness is stronger than that of T-Rex. That's why i am asking.
The "always-on" display is honestly very hard to see in bright daylight, but the regular screen (on the T-Rex) I have no problems viewing in bright sunlight.
Tomorrow I have a video coming out for the Amafit Stratos 3, that one could be a great option. I also like the Amazfit Verge and the Garmin 245 Music. If you are an iPhone user, the Apple Watch is obviously more expensive, but it’s a great option as well.
I have the Black T-Rex and don’t see the watch face you have on this video. Just curious if this was one of the standard one or did you get it via 3rd party?
I’m so close on buying this watch. I just need to know how the screen is on the screen. I what i’m looking for an watch that dosen’t scratch that easy. I’m working in bombshelters in Sweden and it’s dirty, sometime i scratch my watch that i have now and it looks like shit now. I had plans on an apple watch but i’m afraid to break it
You could get an Apple Watch and get a heavy duty case for it. Otherwise, this watch does have Gorilla Glass on it, so it is scratch resistant, but not scratch proof.
Ado you know if you are able to turn the screen off during an workout session? I do own this watch but I can't find an option to not dim but turn the screen completely off while working out.
Nice review Donavon. How easy is it to see the always on display, assuming you are not tilting your wrist? Can you see it on bright sunlight? Also, are there any training load pro metrics like on the Garmin Forerunner 245?
Great questions. The AOD is somewhat dim, so on super bright days I can still see it, but I usually end up flipping my wrist to turn the full display on. As for pro metrics, this isn’t the watch for that, the Amazfit Stratos 3 has those pro metrics like training load, Vo2 Max, training effect, etc....
Donavon Hornbeck Got it. Thanks! I’ve had the Garmin VA3. I’m thinking of getting the 245 for the training metrics. Looking at various other watches that might have those metrics as well.
I’m trying to use the apps you have to install watch faces and they just won’t work. I can get to the stage of installing and syncing on the watch screen but after it finishes no face gets loaded to the watch and reverts to the stock face. Looked in the Amazfit app and it’s not in the faces collection either. What am I doing wrong? I’ve allowed discoverable mode.
GJ I gave up on the other app in the end and just used AmazFaces app instead which works really easily and reliably once I figured how to select the watch you have from the options panel. It’s straightforward but not very obvious, it looks like there is only 3 watches to choose from but there’s more if you swipe left and right. The watch selection panel is in the top right corner underneath the tools cog icon. Then just browse through the watch faces and choose one and click install, then it downloads to the watch. In the amazfit app you need to have discoverable mode set to allow in the settings and I have both apps open in the background while installing faces. The watch face he is using is from AmazFaces app anyway if that’s the one your after.
Hello on the zepp app there is a section called my records where it records your best times for 3k, 5k ect. My current watch GTS doesn't support personal records. Does the T-Rex have this feature?
Any idea if it tracks like actual day sleeping? I work nights so im tryin to find something that will help me track how much sleep I am/am not getting.
can u make calls reply message etc? can it fit sam sung or google i phone ? i like the camo watch that u have look the best.. would be best if i can make calls etc.
The watch doesn’t have a speaker or microphone, so no calls. It will warn you when you get a call, and it will show your text messages, but you won’t be able to reply directly from the watch.
@@donavonhornbeck I see. I loved my sam sung watch 46mm.. Better than apple watch . I hated apple s square watch Face.. I like the circle watch better.. 🤣🤔
No, I’m not sure that feature is available on any Amazfit Watch ( I may be wrong). I’ve never actually reviewed any watch that had the ability to check tour blood pressure.
Accuracy is right on par with the Bip S and the GTS, which is to say it’s very accurate, but could be even better if it had additional GPS signals. Battery life is better than the GTS, but not as good as the Bip S. I’d estimate 4-5 days on a full charge with heavy use on the T-Rex (in the video I was at 50% after 2 1/2 days since my last charge). The T-Rex is a much larger watch than those two though.
@@donavonhornbeck thank you. I am thinking of returning the GTS for the Bip S. I think it locks on the gps faster. I have the old Bip and I prefer the longer battery life and screen always on. The gripe of the gts is the dark red orange font in workout mode i can't read while running or riding a bicycle. The Bip S is more humble, does not pretend to be an Apple Watch and costs 60 dollars less. I like the GTS, but Bip S has some practical advantages, even if the GTS has a better screen. Also screen always on during workouts, like the Bip S is nice
Thanks for the great review. I am getting back into fitness and was wondering if there was other sport modes on the app. For instance the Fitbit has some preloaded sport modes but you also have more in the app. Thanks
@@donavonhornbeck I am sorry but I don't think so. You get nothing as compared to the value you get with t rex. And then why at all you are making a video on t rex if apple works for you. Keep it be happy.
Tell your viewers they're aluminum they are alloyed aluminum buttons and tell your viewers that it's gorilla 3 screen it's gorilla the screen is a gorilla 3 that makes it as good as a sapphire
People should really learn how to title a video much like this one is a workout review video not a review video because you don't go into detail with everything the watch can do just the workout stuff
If you just bought this watch you may have mini heart attack as I did lol, watch faces are way too ugly and I bought this watch as I've thought this one is stock. Download amazfit watchfaces app this one is circle by freek2005 , there are good ones , other apps are waste of time

how i can get that face watch??so nice...
Hello. Where did you get that watch face?
Looks great. But I think that watch is bigger than the clock I have on my wall.
Should I always carry mobile ? Can I record activity without connecting to mobile. Can it be connected to Strava ?
you dont have to carry your phone, you cannot connect directly to strava, you have to use the zepp app (amazfit app) and then add your strava account. by this way, every time you workout, the data will be synced to strava. hope this helps.
Thanks for doing a great review of this watch. So many piss about and don’t get in to what it can do. 🙏🏻👏👌💯
How to caliber compass in Trex. Thanks in advance man👍
Do you have input on how to get more watchfaces using IOS ? (can only find android) Thanks for the great review
Can you do the newer trex pro? I haven’t seen very many who actually use the watch first before talking about the workout functions
Any idea how to use standard time instead of military?
Where can I find this watchface ?
This watch face not in my t rex why
Good video 💪🏽
is it strong as a watch or better than it now ? cause i love it
What watch face is that? I cannot find it on my T-Rex.

Excellent review. . . my new watch is coming tomorrow, thanks, this was helpful.
Please how I can get this watch face?
Looking for the simplest running watch. Track miles and listen to music. Any recommendations?
Tomorrow I have a video coming out for the Amafit Stratos 3, that one could be a great option. I also like the Amazfit Verge and the Garmin 245 Music. If you are an iPhone user, the Apple Watch is obviously more expensive, but it’s a great option as well.

Check Amazfaces, it's circle by freek2005
Nice job on the vlog. Can you do one with installing & using Google maps or 3rd party app for GPS Mapping?
Will watchmaker or facer for on this? The Watch apps?

can you wear it during a warm/hot shower? it says resistant to 50 m but i want to be sure if im gonna wear it during a shower. hope you reply, thanks!
For sure. You can wear it under water, so showers are no problem at all.
@@donavonhornbeck thank you for the reply! God bless
Ado you know if you are able to turn the screen off during an workout session? I do own this watch but I can't find an option to not dim but turn the screen completely off while working out.
what if we don't connect phone will it still show the timings
Yes, this watch has built in GPS, so you won’t have to take your phone with you to record workouts if you don’t want to.
whats the name of that watch face?
it's called Circle by freek2005
