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.
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.
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!!!
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.

This is spectacular! 🤩
Keep waiting mate 😂
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
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 ♥️
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
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

@@Mars-tk thanks for the answer
The Berlin map was not that big and pretty detailed. Was just a few megabytes.
@@TechMishkathank you as well
Just ordered mine, cant wait
Awesome ☺️
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
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.
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 😎
Yes agree it will be perfect with a speaker. Amazfit give us the speaker on Trex 3 pro.😊
👍👍👍👍
No Zepp Pay in North America. 😓 I still rock T-Rex 3 & the Balance though.
Oh, this is annoying!
If use earbud n play song during running, how long battery will survive? 😊
Oh, this will last! Could be more than a day IMO
How good is the gps? Accuracy? Does it connect instantly?
It is very accurate. Takes only a few seconds to connect
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
Excellent review , can't wait to my T REX 3 and Nice T SHIRT
Thanks!
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 😂
Nice watch for the price. Not sure I would trust Zepp pay, so Garmin still has the advantage there.
Fair enough!
Best value in current sport wearables, hands down.
👍
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
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! ♥️
Does it work with iPhone??
Yeah
Hi guys, does anyone know if the T-Rex 3 has a SUP sports mode on the watch.
Yeah, it is tracked.
Is this Watch better than the Huawei Watch GT 5 Pro?
Might be
is it that much better than the balance?
Quite similar in many ways
By far the best watch
👍
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
Review is great and amazfit Makes very good fitness smartwatches.. excellent ❤
Glad you think so!
Hi is there sand color?
No
Not yet
This watch or Huawei watch gt 5 pro
They are different. The Huawei model feels more premium.
The bezel reminds me a bit of G-shock octagons
Yeah!
I got on 2nd October ❤
Congrats ♥️
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
The amazfit balance with os 4 is excellent worthy contender verses the trex 3
Indeed
It's a fantastic device
Totally ♥️
Zepp OS UI gets a major overhaul update in less than a week.
👍
my Trex 1 still kicking
♥️👍
I hate the design with that bar that sticks out to the right of the watch that says Amazfit
🧐
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it

You don't need that subscription at all.

It's 300 euro everywhere
👍
200 euro in Vietnam
At 9:40 what happened there you've been to everywhere
Football ☺️
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
Garmin fenix 8 amoled is 1000 nits brightness. Not 3000.
Thank you for the correction. My bad!
If only it had Spotify integration.....😔
Well...
Im looking to buy it, is it good for a police man?
I think it is! 🚔
Бооже , след години чак сега схванах, че казваш Tech Мишка 😂
🐀🖲️ ☺️

Might be related to the algorithm being slow about refreshing the current speed. Good catch!
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.
The only downside for me is that I can't make phone calls.
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.
Yeah, miss the feature too
Trex 3 is better than trex ultra
👍👍
An interesting watch, but I don't like the design : /
Too bulky?
@@TechMishka I don't mind bulky, just the shape of watch case... e.g. T-Rex 2 looks so much better IMO.
It is octagony.... Get used to it.
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
WhatsApp, UA-cam..??
You can read messages from Whatsapp and respond via quick replies. UA-cam - not available as app
Overpriced crap
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.
Errrrrr, definitely not!
