Finally a proper sports reviewer taking a look at this watch !!
Thanks Jeet! I've never been called proper before 🤣
Hooooo u better buy it it amazing watch trust me I got one and look and work cool
Just getting back from a rigorous shuttlecock kicking session and so glad to see this review. Well done!
You're the shuttlecock kicking champ!
Thanks for a proper review. I was looking for such a review, someone who actually tested the watch outside. Not just unpacking. That's to know if it's worth switching from T-Rex to T-Rex Pro. And the answer is yes!
Glad you found it helpful!
I have the same isuue,if to switch from t-rex to pro version
You're reviews are always great! I watch all the time - great stuff!!
Awesome! Thank you!
One of the best for Amazefit Trex pro. Quality of ur content is next level. Soon this channel is going to be a grow even more
Thank you!
Nicely done...as a previous owner of an Amazfit Stratos, the only problem I ever had with it was the heart rate and firmware updates. The updates always "broke" some feature of the watch and I always had to reset it to make it function again..
Thanks for sharing. I think I'm going to check out the newer Stratos 3 soon!
the responsiveness of the touchscreen as well as the user interface looks really nice! hoping they export this to the stratos 4 someday :D
Yeah it's really nice for under $200!
Very great review. I really want to buy this watch and getting information from someone that actually doing a workout really helps me make a decision.
Awesome review this watch has everything I need just put my order in. Keep up the good work
Awesome! Enjoy it!
Great thumbnail 🦖 I really like the idea of exploring some of these cheaper. . . errr more affordable watches. The menu reminds me a little of that new venu. Interesting watch and great video even if it’s not perfect. 👍
The device or the video isn't perfect? 😂 jk. The T-Rex is actually pretty cool! Thanks for watching Matt!
@@ChaseTheSummit - I was referring to the watch not your video. I can’t even find something small to snarkily pick on in your video. Maybe in the next one.
@@mlegrand I have a feeling that some of the cheaper brands are closing the gap in terms of what they offer and their accuracy
@@RunWithMyDog - Yeah, I agree. A lot of the internals are going to be the same so it's just a matter of putting it all together and the software side. So I'm guessing more affordable options will be catching up in the future.
I found this video helpful, educational *and* fun...seriously. Thanks. 👍provided
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome review.... This will fit my needs and I am gonna order it in a few days 😍 Thank you🥰
Hope you like it!
I've had a few amazfit watches, including this one, I've noticed they all have the same heart rate sensing issue. Sometimes I'll measure it manually, knowing that I'm at an elevated rate, and the watch won't even be close, but then other times it'll be almost completely accurate. Very strange and hopeful that maybe they can push out some sort of firmware update to fix that issue. Other than that, I love this watch. #1 reason to buy any of the amazfit devices is because of the battery life. It's not uncommon for me to get a week out of a charge. I stopped wearing a galaxy active because of the annoyance of needing to charge it basically every night, which then makes the sleep tracking useless.
Great video!
Congratulations for the review. 👌👌👌
Thanks!
well, when it comes to recommending the watch to somebody... that was what i am here for as i am contemplating to get this, judging they had this watch upgraded from its predecessor. yes, it is a garmin fenix rival, but when they had just recently launch the new venu 2, i wont be surprise to see garmin unleashing the new fenix 7 with an amoled display in July / August of this year. great review by the way on this watch :)
It would surprise me if Garmin put an AMOLED in the fenix simply from a battery life stand point. The Fenix line has always been function over form. However, it would be cool if they had a seperate model with OLED as an option. We shall see! Thanks for watching.
Great review, thank you! Can't believe the price of this thing! I'm going to get one I think. I don't need maps and I'm ill so can't run or work out so only need to track walking and sleeping and look outdoorsy. Was going to get a Garmin Instinct which is a lot more money and doesn't have a oled
thx for the review
i got my blue steele today
it looks so cool🤤
Nice!
very thorough...excellent review
Thanks for watching!
I have this dude since it became available at amazon and man....this is one the best watches that money can buy!
That's great. Thanks for sharing!
excellent video, great information that you provide and comparison, sad about the heart rate. When to check the new Xiaomi mi watch global version?
Great review! The only question I have, which I have not seen answered anywhere else, is whether while using one of the workout modes you have the ability to simultaneously use other functions of the watch as well, in particular the timer or the stopwatch. I think this would be of great use to people who want to keep a record of their daily workouts whilst being able to apply the appropriate rest time period in between sets. My mi band 4 is certainly not capable of that :D
Once you're in an activity you're kind of stuck in the activity until you're done.
Thanks for an excellent review. Hitting the like button was a no brainer. I like the look of this one a lot actually and I’m wondering if I can get ring doorbell notifications on it. Would you know about this?
Thanks! If its a standard phone notification you should see it pop up on the watch as well. I have a similar arrangement with my Blink cameras and it works great. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review. Can you change the data fields within each sport profile?
I don't believe you can.
Just order both the T=rex Pro and GTR 4...couldn't decide which one I wanted just based on reviews so figured I'd test it out in person. Do you have a preference Chase? Thanks for the awesome reviews! Pls keep them coming :)
Excellent review! I am thinking of getting a sports watch and I wasn't sure which one to get. If you had to choose between Coros pace 2 and Garmin Instinct (not the solar version) which one would you choose? Thank you very much!
If you're mainly a hiker or outdoorsy person I'd go Instinct. If you're mainly a runner on roads or marked trails I'd go Pace 2.
Hello thanks for this real review 😁 does is export altimeter data (gpx and Strava)?
Altitude data is there in Strava but it's hard to say if Strava is using the raw data or calculating new data since I can't export an actual fit file from the Amazfit Zepp app.
I owned stratos earlier and have to tell that the football monitoring is something that I couldn't find in ANY of comperitors watches. You can display heatmap of which spheres you were most active and think about positioning. I wonder if aother activities are so helppful instead of monitoring only heartrate. Nice review, thanks!
Oh interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for review. Is it possible to import to the watch some gpx track prepared on external maps services?
Unfortunately no. Thanks for watching.
Great choice for review 👍🏼
Thanks!
I just got one of these and I totally agree with the heart rate monitor comments. I find mine seems to be reasonably Ok but there will be random times where it's saying my HR was 180+bpm when it really was nowhere near that. Very good with everything else though.
For sure, that seems to be the weak point. But it's still a cool watch for under $200! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve had that heart rate problem with my fenix 5x and solar instinct from garmin more than once, in fact lots of times! Had 3 Garmin watches stop working on me, so I’m going cheaper this time.. Looks a good watch for the price
@@sharkymoon422 I've noticed the HR monitor is a lot more accurate if you tighten the strap up more. The strap is pretty stretchy so it's still comfy to wear too
They didn't fix it over time? Is the optical HR-sensor not working better?
The Amazfit pace and stratos can connect to external bluetooth heart rate sensors, it's too bad they didn't implement the same on the Trex
Yeah I found that odd as well. The Stratos seems like it's still a better sports watch even by todays standards.
totally agreed
@@ChaseTheSummit Absolutely!!
I have a Stratos, a beautifully watch, but has no training sessions for bike and swim and no anaerobic efforts :(
Amazing review on this. I have a Apple Watch series 7 45mm and has endless tools, but omg the battery is garbage, I truly enjoy the T-Rex 🦖
Thank you for the review
Thanks for watching!
Wow, the GPS track looked better than the Fenix 6. I wanted to test this watch too.
Yeah not bad eh!? The Fenix has never been amazing but the T-Rex did a decent job. Only wish the OHR sensor was better. Thanks for watching Steven!
@@ChaseTheSummit hey i wanted to ask what the best fitness tracking watch is in your opinion?
Great review, exacly what i wanted to know. The gps/breadcrumb capabilities. Very well explaind
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great review Dave!does it have a lap button on running?
Yep!
Is the optical HR-sensor still not working well? They didn't fix it over time?
good review.
I have the T-Rex 2 and I am very happy with it. it's used to keep track of my sleep, indoor/ outdoor walking, weight training/ calories burned and steps taken. this watch fits my needs; overall a good watch. if you are an avid hiker and would like GPS with topagraphy on your screen, the Garmin Fenix is much better.
Does T-Rex 2 have a route navigation feature?
@@AlexeyDnepr Do I get turn-by-turn navigation on the watch? No.
Excellent Analysis.
Thanks!
thank gudness i've finally found what I've been looking for.... after all the binge, finally found the right in-depth review.... I almost bought this watch but couldn't find the right review (regarding import/export of gpx file)... I may say that the import/export of gpx era had ended the moment they venture into AMOLED displays... most likely they neglected the sports savvy part of the watch and ventured into just becoming a smartwatch... (well, I think there's a difference between those two)....
I got mind last Tuesday and I'm loving it so far no regrets also I paid $150
Nice! Glad you're enjoying it!
Great and a brutally honest review. Sad to see a flagship product like this doesn't have the navigation functions like following a route from a .gpx file. The good old and simple Amazfit Pace had that functionality. Lack of this feature in T-Rex Pro is a big non strater for me.
Any possibility of this feature getting added in future as a software / firmware update?
Thanks! It seems unlikely that they'd add navigation but I suppose anything is possible!
Whats even more sad is the heart rate tracking being so poor.
Has this feature been added yet?
@@simdencard Do you mean optical HR-sensor? Does it work worse than other similar sensors?
Great review bro. Battery life is Better than Iphone smart watch and the likes.
in the past i wanted to buy the former t-rex but didnt,because i ve missed too much features!
i like the rugged look as its s smartwatch with many and great outdoor features in a better "G-shock-look", with a great looking amoled display, touch display and also 4 physical buttons!
all arround i like it, and the ZEPP app is also not bad ! bought it now for 159 eur .. nothing to complain at this pricepoint ! Amazfit is also working on updates and software/ app features.
i can recommend it for guys that search something beyond the garmin suunto polar fanworld ;-) than your not disapponited cause you get really much smart-/outdoorwatch and its great working for a really awesome price. i dont need Nav/ active GPS routing on a watch screen outdoors, so í dont miss it on the trex pro.
Thanks for sharing!
Great Job! Nice Review!
May I ask you to share some Garmin Fenix\Instinct alternatives - mainly focused on Navigation for outdoor enthusiasts?
Check out the original Amazfit Stratos! Also, the Coros watches have decent navigation as well like the Apex and Apex Pro.
@@ChaseTheSummit Thanks bro, tbh I really want Apex Pro but the price segment is crazy for this one... if it was like 20-30% down for sure it was to be best deal
Pace 2 is really a better buy.. Good Reviews man. Keep up the good work.
Kinda depends what you're looking for. As far as being a "sports watch" I'd take the Pace 2 all day. Thanks for watching!
Nice vid! I would love to see a fitness review of the Xiaomi Mi watch global. It has Strava and triathlon mode for a 100usd watch
Thanks for the suggestion!
Would you recommend this, and it's ecosystem, over the Forerunner 245 and the Coros Pace 2? Someone asked me last week for a recommendation (moving up from a fitbit) and the 245 and Pace 2 were my current recommendations.
They're all good in different departments. The T-Rex makes a nice "daily driver" because of the beautiful display and widget selection. The Coros Pace 2 is probably the better multi sport tracking watch of the bunch because it provides running power from the wrist and can pair with power sensors for cycling along with superior battery life. The Forerunner 245 is probably the best dedicated running watch of the bunch with Garmin's Training Tools and more advanced navigation than the other two with Breadcrumb mapping. The Amazfit T-Rex might be the better built of the three? Hard to say. They all have pro's and con's it really comes down to the use case.
We'll done. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Review....Im looking at the TRex Pro versus the Polar ignite 2. I want something to track my runs, cycling and most importantly open water swims. I swim in the sea. Does anyone have any experience with either in open water swim tracking (distance is fine, all the other data is a bonus).
Thanks in advance
I can't speak to how accurate the TRex pro would be at open water swimming but I have a sneaking suspicion the Polar option would be more reliable only judging by my past experiences. Hope that helps!
How about testing the g-shock gbd h1000. This watch seems pretty capable also.
It's on my list to check out!
Hi, thanks for the in depth review! I had a question for you about the heart rate data. Do you know if you had the app version 5.12.1 installed on your device? It looks as though they performed an update to address the heart rate about 1 month ago but your review was also around that point. Also where do you find yourself trail running by chance? Wondering if I would ever run into you! Thanks again!
I have the latest firmware and app (whatever that is). I typically trail run in New England (Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, CT, etc...) Where are ya from?
Great review, thanks!
I was actually surprised to see that the heart rate accuracy was so bad since I've recently reviewed much cheaper bands like the Mi fit 6 and the Honor band 6 which produced some very accurate heart rate results
Yeah it's unfortunate! I'm not sure if it's just my skin or my actual product it certainly wasn't delivering. Thanks for watching.
@@ChaseTheSummit I was tempted to order it also for a review, but thanks to you I decided not to, so you've saved me a few bucks haha. My wife would sleep better now!
@@RunWithMyDog In my case, the readings of Amerzfit were similar with medical equipment. I don’t know the reason. Anyway still one of best VFM.
@@mannomadsi5996 which model do you mean?
I decided buy one and have to say despite some peoples requirements being higher than mine, i love this watch, battery life, information, faces etc ...id not give samsung or apple and garmin my money but i cant fault this watch for everything i want in a watch.
That's great to hear! Enjoy!
When your running with GPS on to map your run, do you need to have your phone on you and paired, or can the watch map the entire run on its own? Thanks for uploading 👍.
The T-Rex pro has GPS built in so it will record a track of your run with or without your phone. However, you will need your phone to sync and send it to Strava. Hope that helps!
That's what i concerned,🎉
Would you recommend this as a "asthetically" pleasing watch to replace my garmin instinct solar?
Depends what you consider to be good looking. I think it looks really similar to an instinct!
For those saying they have heart rate problems, tighten up the strap and turn it so the head is on the inside of your wrist not on the outside. Helps a lot
Thanks for sharing.
i have the stratos 3 and it does connect to an external hr band. you have to do it throught the settings of thr actual workout (not the general settings»bluetooth) maybe its the same for the trex
Unfortunately that's not the case with the T-Rex Pro. Thanks for sharing!
How about comparing this watch with Garmin Instinct, which will be better for running (inline skating) in your opinion. I really like this outdoor style.
I'd probably lean towards the Garmin in terms of sport tracking. For "smartwatch" stuff the T-Rex Pro would have an edge. Thanks for watching.
Can I connect a chest HR-sensor?
Can i use it for casual wear like for office stuff and all... I love this watch because I'm into g shock type.... So is this good for daily office usage
Sure!
Does it have some sort of breadcrumb navigation ? 🙂 I already own Vertix but I am just curious 🙂
Unfortunately it does not. No navigation features aside from a basic compass and altimeter. Thanks for watching
Great review. I am sad the heart rate monitor is not that good.
Yeah kind of a bummer on an otherwise cool little watch.
Having tried both the Stratos 3 and the T Rex Pro.....would you recommend either one or one over the other?
Understanding there is a Heart rate monitor issue currently
I'm also eyeing the Coros Pace 2. Music doesn't really matter as I use a armband in case of an emergency
If you're looking for a sports watch more than a smart watch. I'd go for the COROS Pace 2. It's far superior for sports/fitness tracking. The Amazfit stuff is cool but it's more geared towards smartwatch / daily life.
Thank you so much for the quick response and amazing content you put out. Seriously top notch content
What is the range for the Heart Rates since my resting HR is in the low to mid 40's. Are you able to see what HR you have at any time using the app? The other thing I find funny about the T-Rex Pro is that it passed all of the "Military" spec's i.e. 100-meter depth, 159F to -40F, you can swim and surf with it, but it states you can not take a shower with it.
It's probably due to the heat and possibly the chemicals in soaps for showering. I personally showered with it without an issue. In terms of HR it's not super accurate.
You should review the first version of the trex
Seems pretty similar other than missing some activities, apps, and the water resistance rating. I'll put it on the list though. Thanks for watching!
Good day and blessings. I would like to know which watch is better under your criteria. The Honor gs pro or the Amazfit T rex Pro
I prefer the Amazfit T-Rex because the app is a bit easier to use. Both have issues with HR accuracy.
What do you have on test now? I believe you are testing Garmin 955 or will receive it for the test in the near future.
Stay tuned and you’ll see!
The heart rate sensor will work better if you aren't moving your body. I just bought it a few weeks ago, it's pretty good . Nice review
What's the point of tracking your HR if you can't track it during an activity? 🤔 Thanks for sharingh!
@@ChaseTheSummit i hope next time they will fix this, the HR sensor really bad when i'm running
@@juandoan2746 They didn't fix it over time? Is the optical sensor not working better?
Can you turn off Bluetooth during the day and it will save your data until the next time you synch and will update? For example, I don't like sleeping with Bluetooth on. Can I turn it off and update my sleep in the morning when I turn Bluetooth back on?
Yup
Hey bro, how did you put all three HR measures in the same graph? Was it an specific app?
Quantified Self or DC Rainmakers analyzer tool work great.
well, for 80% to 85% accuracy for that price range...
that looks pretty good price deal
because based on your recommendation, the majority of their prices almost tripled just for accuracy based on T-Rex Pro price for me where I am from
which can kill my bank savings
It's still good watch considering everything else
It's an interesting watch for sure for the right person. For me, the "sports" aspects of it are a bit too lacking but it's a solid option for a smartwatch.
@@ChaseTheSummit I do think your review is very fair for the watch, I have always love rugged watch over elegant look personally
but of course I will still consider the garmin series when they are on sale, I do hope they will have sale here
Do you think heartrate accuracy can be fixed by a software update!?
Not sure. The design of the sensor seems OK. There's definitely something funky going on with it though. I tried various positions and tightness of the strap to no avail. Thanks for watching!
If you're looking for a budget option it's now available for $125 . . . how is that for price versus performance? I can't afford a $200+ sports watch. What are your thoughts?
Good deal!
Hi, does it support multi sport without having to break/stop the existing sport, like in a triathlon
Unfortunately it does not.
What if I want something just for sleep? I just don’t wanna do the whoop so will this do !? Thanks
Mediocre. If you prioritized sleep I'd look into Garmin, Polar or a device like the Whoop band or Oura Ring.
Should i go for this or for amazfit gtr2?I am more of an outdoor user and i would also like if somebody can tell me if the heart rate problems have been fixed with a new updates maybe or sth?!
From what I've seen so far none of the Amazfit watches have great HR accuracy but if you can live with that they're cool watches. I don't have experience with the GTR2 so I can't comment on that.
介紹的很詳細，謝謝，希望將來能透過軟體更新去提高心率準確度
謝謝！更新將是很好看！
Amazfit gtr2 Vs Garmin Venu Sq music...which one to go for? Can afford both... Which is a more value for money proposition?
I'd probably go for the Venu SQ but that's just my opinion. Garmin's Ecosystem is much better and the Venu SQ has a decent heart rate sensor.
Hello, i tried turning off all day stress monitoring and had better HR results.
Thanks for sharing. That's a weird flaw.
@@ChaseTheSummit it's probably because the stress is measured every 5 minutes and interferes with the workout. Who knows?
Between the three GPS options, which one is the best: BDS, GLONASS, or Galileo?
Depends on your location but generally I think GPS works best in the USA.
Can we buy it form long term use??
And also share your experience with this watch how long you use it for...
Sure, it should last a while!
Nice review ! Can you tell me if the activity tracking is done in miles or metric (KM)? I saw a review by someone on amazefits website where they indicated that tracking is done in metric (KM) and there is no way to change it .
You can change this in the settings in the Zepp app during setup .
Does Amazfit T-Rex Prom shows splits for run in Strava after synced?
Yes
Honestly for the money ($145CAD) this watch is very hard to beat maybe impossible. The 30+ different watch faces you can choose from and the time the battery lasts compared to most it’s still an awesome deal a year and a bit later after release.
It's certainly a good deal I just wish it was a little more accurate. Thanks for watching!
Which watches would you compare with this watch with AMOLED display and similar features and similar price?
There's not many out there. Maybe the Garmin Venu 2 but it's twice the price.
@@ChaseTheSummit ok thanks👍
But is it available on Amazfon.... I'll walk myself out.
😂
Does it measure VO2 max or not? Amazon claims it does but then only discusses SPO2 in description
Yes it does but in my experience it’s not super accurate
Will you recommend This watch for cycling?
It can do it. But if you're an advanced cyclist you'd benefit from a watch that can pair with a power/speed sensor. The Amazfit T-Rex can not.
Have this watch and it's good but the HR is just not that good seems to be a good 40bpm out sometimes when cycling and other times low when am work hard up a hill. It's a shame as if was more closer to chest strap or even had the BT to be able to attach chest strap it be a great watch.
Still like it but think am going to polar grit X as been offered one at a good price.
Great review all the same and hello from Hampshire UK 👍
Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately I have similar results.
I'm a trekker and a mountaineer is it good for that activities or i should go with Garmin instinct solar?
It would do the job but I think the Instinct would give you more features for that activity. The instinct also has navigation features and can follow a course.
I think they're having problems with the new 2.0 heart rate sensor cause I have the Amazfit GTS and the heart rate is exactly on par with my Vivoactive 3. Great review! 😁
Oh interesting! I'm interested to see what DesFit thinks of the T-Rex Pro and if he gets similar results. I tried everything to get good numbers but it just wouldn't work for me. Maybe I got a dud! Thanks for sharing and watching Josie!
@@ChaseTheSummit Desfit had the same problem with the GTS 2 and it has the same version heart rate sensor as the T-Rex pro... We'll see... Maybe an update will fix the problem!
Vivoactive 3 HR sucks. Fenix 6 is far superior line
Hello!
Hello!
Does your T-Rex counting steps correctly?
Im walking in home and my trex-pro does not always count steps which im doing.
Has anyone checked if trex counting steps correctly? I compared trex pro and mi band 5. Mi band 10500 steps per day, trex only 5500. Im walking only in rooms.
HELP.
It's pretty good compared to my Garmin devices when it comes to step counting. Hope that helps!
Hi there, does this watch have a triathlon mode support, and have they fixed the heart rate accuracy problem? Also, do they have a HR broadcast mode?
There's no HR Broadcast mode but there is a Triathlon Mode that was added in a firmware update back in April.
@@ChaseTheSummit thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. :-)
hello, i bougth one yesterday, did a one hour walk for test and the battery went down to 84%, i think it problably has a battery issue
That's strange. Was it the first time you charged it? Sometimes it needs a few charge cycles to be accurate. Hope that helps!
For running you prefer amazfit Trex Pro or Coros Pace 2?
Pace 2 hands down.
Great Video man! Regarding the GPS setting what did you use, GPS+Gallelilo or GPS+GLONASS, or GPS+BDS??
I believe it was set to GPS+Glonass out of the box.
Sir what should i buy gbd h1000 or this one i don't like Garmin design
Between those two I think the T-Rex Pro actually has more features but the GBD-H1000 has better battery life and is probably a little better built. Your call!
How did you find the battery with bluetooth chest strap. With my amazfit stratos 2 the battery drains very quickly when connected to bluetooth chest strap compared to not using it. I think the big problem is that it doesnt support ant+ which is more energy efficient. I think with my stratos i get about 3 hours with chest strap when 10hours+ without it wich is a big problem on longer hikes.
Unfortunately the TRex Pro can’t pair to an external sensor at all which is a bummer!
@@ChaseTheSummit tnx for the info, i see you also mentoined it in the review. But anyway you know anything about battery drain with heart rate monitors with bluetooth vs ant+? Are they the same when comparing battery consumption?
@@vilonja oddly enough usually you GAIN battery life because the optical sensor takes more power than the ant+ connection. Not sure what’s going on with that!
is this better than gtr 3
