Nearly a month now since the T-Rex 3 landed on my wrist and... it is on sale for Prime Day for just $250, dang, what a deal. Here is my affiliate link to help the honest reviews arriving: amzn.to/3zOs58x
I was going to purchase a Falcon watch, but after watching your video about Falcon, I decided against it (thank you!). Instead, I decided to wait for Falcon 2 until Amazon released the T-Rex 3. Even so, I still think the falcon design is great; it's a high-end model, and Amazonfit should unveil the replacement by year's end. But regrettably, the wait for T Rex 3 ended. I'd like to purchase this one; I appreciate your review.
Yep, night shift is what I call it and my T-Rex 3 automatically just turned green at 20:00. For one reason or another the green font is easier for my eyes to read 🤓
I recently left Garmin for the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and I'm mixed on it. Now I'm wondering how the T-rex 3 compares to the Galaxy Ultra... I'm tempted to buy one and compare.
No need to buy, I already did. The Galaxy Ultra is in my a box resting. I'll be comparing the T-Rex 3 to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra after I reach Day Five of my T-Rex 3 vs. T-Rex 2. Can you wait about three days, eh?
@black79montecarlo123 I left Garmin after many years and several watches including the Epix... it was a huge leap. So far, I find the Galaxy Ultra to be an amazingly well crafted device with tons of features. Of course the battery life cannot compare to Garmin or others but I knew that going in. What do you most like about the Ultra?
I like the orange workout button, the 3,000 nit bright screen for my outdoor workouts, and how quickly the Watch Ultra responds to touch controls. I would like to see the next Samsung Galaxy incorporate nearly full button navigation for winter workouts, wet finger tips, and many other scenarios. The increased accuracy of heart rate, SP02, and other health metrics has been nice too. I turned off my Galaxy Watch Ultra last night and just kept wearing the Galaxy Ring. Samsung wrote some nice code for the ring/watch marriage inside the S-Health app. And their Galaxy Ring is comfortable to wear too...
Oh... I got confused. I often forget simply stuff during the 1st take. And with an unboxing video, yeah, second takes are difficult with only one box. Thank you for the nice feedback.
I'm really loving my T-Rex 3. Very cool device, and I'm so glad we got a mic for Flow. I bet with the T-Rex Ultra 2/4 we get a mic too. If the Fenix 8 is good for one thing, it set a precedent for mic and speaker on an adventure watch. Also, I'm in Florida with a "Feels-like" that's over 100 most days and I am SO jealous of you and your 40° weather lol.
It was a special edition T-Rex 2 that I saw in an email last year, 2023. Went to the website to read more about it and placed an order request. I checked several days ago and they were still for sale. Glad you are a fan of the T-Rex watches 🦖
Yep, just beeps. I paired some Bluetooth headphones and pushed one song via MP3 to the T-Rex. During my workout the voice in my head was there every mile and each time I pressed the "lap" button. I dislike the tone Amazfit chose for the alert noise/sound that plays after a time goes off. And I think they could easily add the ability to modify the tone in a future upgrade...
Well, this is a nice review as always. What do you think about buying the T-Rex 3 already had gotten the T-Rex 2 ? Is it Worht it ? Also, i wanted to ask you something else: Why did you send the "disgusting" DW-H5600 to a Casio Repair Center ? I read about this on other video. Keep up the good videos! sir.
I have questions about that very fact. Is it worth upgrading two years later, eh? 1. bright screen outdoors 2. louder beeps 3. microphone for the Flow app 4. augmented battery life 5. faster charging? (T.B.D) 6. yes, the screen is larger, but not that much larger from my perspective as the T-Rex 2 is on my left as I type and the T-Rex 3 moved to my right 7. screen is crisper 8. TBD 9. TBA 10. TBD 11. TBA
@@PeterHerget Amazon I always replace the silicone bands they are irritating to my wrist and I first had one for my GTR It took me watching this video to learn the screws only come out on one side then push the rod through I was trying to remove the other side and obviously could not So once again Thank you!
Glad my video was able to help someone. Yeah, I am not a fan of the strap design that Amazfit chose for the T-Rex 3, but it works. And you are not the first person to tell me about their dislike for silicone straps, they are not the best material for human skin... Thank you for clicking on by and for the many comments you have written on my channel.
Yes, that is one pithy question, thanks for asking. I reviewed two watches in this video, are you asking about the T-Rex 3 or the 2.0 from two years ago?
Yes! Yes, it does 😎I paired my Shokz & AirPods and they both stayed connected and I heard the Amazfit voice of workout feedback. All in all, if you’re looking for voice feedback, either the Cheetah Pro or the Balance is the way to go. Alas, this T-Rex 3 is pretty cool 😎
@@PeterHerget not clear!! I ordered T-Rex 3. Does it give workout audio feedback?? I know about balance and cheetah pro!! Not clear about specifically T rex 3. Would like to know about your experience with T rex 3 regarding workout audio feedback on bluetooth devices. Thanks
@@jaychhabra3 Yes, the T-Rex 3 gives you audio feedback during workouts when you connect Bluetooth headphones. There are no fancy tones, melodies, or voice feedback on the tiny speaker instead the T-Rex 3. The only sounds the T-Rex 3 makes is a two or three different beeps. I hope this more clearly answers your questions.
It does have a speaker 🔈, yet it is only used for beep alerts and there are no settings except for volume. After six days of use I still have a good 26GB of free space on the watch for more maps and downloaded MP3 music files.
They are pretty close thus far. The T-Rex 3 comes with a new hardware sensor. I am testing the Amazfit T-Rex 3 versus the Active Edge right now and for few more days. After that is done, well, I need to finish the video of the T-Rex 3 versus the Galaxy Watch Ultra. I already wore them both and simply needed one more workout's worth of data. And after those two videos are done, and published, yes, I am going to wear the Amazfit Cheetah Pro and the T-Rex 3 for about five days/nights along with several workouts. If you can wait a solid four to nine days you shall have all your answers.
Yes, my plate is overflowing with gadgets right now and I am nearing the point of bringing on a parter in Nerdy crime... My side hustle of reviewing technology become overwhelming during the end of Q3 and the all of Q4. TechTober (Tech October) is certainly a real thing. For the first time in years, sorry, I am skipping Apple products. Though, there is a slim, slim, slim chance about reviewing a new Apple MacBook Pro. Thank you for your patience.
I give that a detailed test soon... Sorry, I just unboxed the reMarkable Paper Pro after using the reMarkable 2 tablet. I've been wearing the T-Rex 3 for two weeks straight now and have more insight to share.
So after my first night of sleep, I wore the T-Rex on one arm and had my Garmin Venu 2 on the other arm. I slept kind of poorly and didn't feel great when i woke up. Garmin Venu 2 Sleep Score: 73, Body Battery 70 upon wake Amazfit T-Rex 3 Sleep Score 95, Readiness 81 upon wake Now if you were to ask me how I feel when I wake up today, i would say i feel more inline with Garmin, a bit on the lower side. The Amazfit feels a bit generous in the numbers given. Side note; im a bit confused with the settings for the Offline Assistant. Mainly the Offline Audio Wake-up Mode settings.
Yes, sleep scores & body battery 🔋 can be off for me too. I always check two devices in the morning and take the averages... As for the T-Rex 3, I will know more abouts its accuracy in 8 more days.
Не знаю о чем он говорил, но асмр эффект я получил, а по часам - я их заказал на оф сайте на маркетплейсе последние за 21000 руб (это примерно 210 долларов) , что неплохо ведь в России у перекупов они стоят от 350 долларов. Уже есть т рекс 2 , но в 3 версии понравились полноценные карты, красный режим для тепловизора (для войны вна украине - самое то и РЭБ не глушит их gps сигнал) и металлический корпус, расстроили только расцветки (мой любимый песочный цвет пропал) , вообщем жду свою новинку через неделю
If you have your smartphone nearby, yes. You can use the smartphone to send an SOS signal. I'm not seeing an option to send any SOS or "I need help" signals on any of the Amazfit watches at this time, sorry...
@@PeterHerget A clear plastic IPG invisible guard instructions said turn phone off and I did now I cannot get it to go on I pressed and held the select button that works on other models but not this one can you help
Sorry, I don't agree. I was outside with both the T-Rex 3 and T-Rex 2, same sunlight and the screen on the T-Rex 3 was bright enough in direct sunlight, yes, I could even read my workout details with my polarized sunglasses covering my old eyes, oh yeah... 1. screen is brighter 2. new HR sensor 3. more accurate GPS 4. longer battery life 5. ZeppOS 4 6. microphone Those size reasons alone justified the upgrade for my hobby/addiction ;)
Okay, I see your point though, the size of the bezel is going to be too large for many wrists. I am lucky with the seven inches of wrist circumference from which I have had for the last 30+ years. The 51mm Fenix 7X Pro sapphire solar watch I had last year, nope, that was not kept in my collect for it giggled too much when I was running 8.77 miles per hour. And it was too heavy for all day & all night wear. Time to make my Day Four video "The T-Rex Showdown Four Days Later..."
I have the t rex 2 and was going to get the 3. But I'm learning that the t Rex 3 still can't make or take calls also you still can't actually make or respond to text other than preprogrammed responses. I just can't figure out the thinking on that. Guess I'll keep the t rex 2 for a while longer.

The Ultra is way more capable when it comes to smartwatch features... I've ditched Garmin and couldn't be happier.

I think the bottom left is the on button. Had the same issue as well 😅

Oh... I got confused. I often forget simply stuff during the 1st take. And with an unboxing video, yeah, second takes are difficult with only one box. Thank you for the nice feedback.
Good video! How many sesnsor led has the new trex 3? Thanks
Just took it off my wrist and counted seven lights, two white things, and a metal ring around the entire sensor area.
I'm really loving my T-Rex 3. Very cool device, and I'm so glad we got a mic for Flow. I bet with the T-Rex Ultra 2/4 we get a mic too. If the Fenix 8 is good for one thing, it set a precedent for mic and speaker on an adventure watch.
Also, I'm in Florida with a "Feels-like" that's over 100 most days and I am SO jealous of you and your 40° weather lol.
Yeah, the mic is cool and I've been using Zepp Flow more and more. it feels faster on the T-Rex 3 than the Cheetah Pro or the Balance.
Is it true you still can't make or receive phone calls and no texting other than preprogrammed text responses like the t rex 2 ?
please tell us a bit more about the screen size
The screen realestate on the T-Rex 3 is wonderful and outdoor visibility is amazing.
Where u get the blue T Rex 2 😅😅
It was a special edition T-Rex 2 that I saw in an email last year, 2023. Went to the website to read more about it and placed an order request. I checked several days ago and they were still for sale. Glad you are a fan of the T-Rex watches 🦖
Please make another video after a week or two. To show how accurate the HeartRate Censor and sleep tracking are
Yes, I plan make another tonight for I wore both T-Rex watches for seven days 🤓
It doesnt look like theres a Morning Report?
There is
Yes, there is, and I'm sorry if it wasn't in the video. I'll include one from the T-Rex 3 and the T-Rex 2 when I reach Day Five.
@@PeterHerget ok, whew, thanks.

Great in-depth comparison. I have a T-Rex 3 on the way with the Lava band because I love orange as well 🟠
Yes! Nice choice 👌 on rhe Lava Oramge. And remember, orange 'tis the true color of the sun...
i cant have that lava its sold out : (
@@riotrock07 keep checking every day. It sometimes becomes available for a short time.
There's no speaker on the T-Rex 3, hence the no phone calls.
Nope, neither the T-Rex 2 nor the T-Rex 3 have speakers large enough for phone calls. Cheetah Pro and Balance may be what you're looking for..
@@PeterHerget and GTR4 and GTS4...
@@PeterHerget how about both the Balance and the T-Rex 3. T-Rex 3 arrives today, looking forward to it after work.
I think they have smaller speakers, making only the buzz sound not else, I remember I heared that on trex 2

There are no speakers on the t Rex. That is my one gripe with the watch no Bluetooth calls
If you have Bluetooth headphones is should function nicely…?
Wish there was a option for 26mm quickfit bands to work with the watch.
I can see the reasoning for that, and a 26mm band might work with the size of the T-Rex 3.
If Mini speaker so low does it mean it doesn't have timer and doesn't ring?
Yes, that is one pithy question, thanks for asking. I reviewed two watches in this video, are you asking about the T-Rex 3 or the 2.0 from two years ago?
