It doesn’t seems, it is. It completely outclass similarly priced watch and is punching in fenix 8 territory. I had it for a week and it’s an absolutely insane value of a watch
Yep, it is quite amazing. I am going on Day Seven with my T-Rex 3 and have collected more than 10 hours of GPS workouts, sleep tracking, SP02 status, heart-rate every five minutes, raise-to-wake enabled, and much, much, much more. It should make the remainder of today, tonight, and into DAY 8, awesome battery life and a fun to wear.
@@TheManWithTwoWatches my delivery was supposed to be Friday but sadly, there’s a delay with the Fedex ground shipment from California. Waiting patiently here in Toronto.
What color of band did you order for your T-Rex 3? I am just finishing an eight-day battery test with my T-Rex 3... oh yeah! Over nine hours of GPS workouts, raise-to-wake enabled, airplane mode used while sleeping 8 hrs per night, SP02 tracking during sleep, a few naps, and over 600 notifications over the past 8 days, dang! I don't know how Amazfit is able to get such awesome battery life. Why are Samsung and Apple so lame with their watch batteries?
Yes, the T-Rex 2, the Balance, the Cheetah Pro, the Falcon, and several other models. For one reason or another the new Amazfit Active Edge, nope, it did not ship with "Driving" workout/mode :(
Yes, and it is pretty close the same accuracy. The GPS hardware with the T-Rex 3 has improved MUCH along with heart rate, sleep, SPO2, and 11 other healthy metrics.
You are... most welcome. The Wi-Fi on the T-Rex 3 does not stay enabled for very long, so that should not be an issue for you when wanting to save battery life.
@@TheManWithTwoWatches It's not actually about energy saving but I try to limit exposure to electromagnetic pollution. I'm passionate about mechanical watches but I still need a quartz watch or smartwatch for work. What bothers me most is that usually in these watches the battery doesn't last long but this T-rex 3 is starting to be decent. I also considered getting a Tissot T touch which is a hybrid between mechanical and smartwatch but I think using it for work would be a waste of money
Yes, the same for me too. Electronic signal are all around me at home, work, Taco Bell, you name it. If I can reduce electromagnetic pollution, yes, please count me in. All gadgets should have "Airplane Mode" if they were made since the year 2020 (according to me). Now, if you're wanting an amazing watch with Airplane Mode and superb battery life, oh yeah, the Garmin Instinct 2X Solar is one of my favorites. Unsure if there will be an Instinct 3X solar series released before Christmas 2024. And yet, I am very happy with my 2X solar and the fact it lasted me nearly 90 days utilizing free sunlight power...
The build quality of the Garmin Fenix is better than the T-Rex 3. However, the T-Rex 3 has more smart features. I sold my Fenix 6X sapphire solar and kept my EPIX 2.
Yes, I am unsure why Amazfit chose to limit the functionality by yanking out Alexa. Good news though, the Cheetah Pro is 33% off right now on Amazon for only $199.00 amzn.to/3TRmG7l
Nope, it may not answer calls, but your smartphone does ;) If you're wanting something like that, yeah, you'll need to go with a $600 Samsung Galaxy Watch or an Apple Watch and they both will requiring charging every 20 to 47 hours.
Yeah, sorry, GottaGeek, I need to finish that video. All in all, it not a fair comparison, but still interesting to compare the Active Edge & the T-Rex 3 :)
Yes, you can receive turn-by-turn directions on the T-Rex 3 back to the starting point. As for choosing a destination on the map, great idea for a future video, thank you 😄
Yes, it has proven interesting for me to test and I decided to keep it since it appears the views on TH-cam are going to pay for the wearable in about six more months. I do have another TH-cam Channel and there are many Amazfit reviews there too... Peter Herget & Gadgets Anonymous www.youtube.com/@PeterHerget/videos
I doubt Amazfit will be able to copy Garmin. And yet... as a standalone watch, yes, the T-Rex 🦖🦖🦖 is a fabulous timepiece for $270. The next step is for Amazfit to learn from COROS and lengthen their warranty from one year over to two full years, oh yeah 👍
Nope, I was driving a 2,500 pound vehicle on the freeway and I often mute the watch by placing it in "theatre mode" to avoid distractions. When a $300.00 timepiece tells me my average speed, distance with 95% accuracy, and the amount of time I wasted waiting at traffic lights, yep, that is good enough for me. I can see your point though for I have tracked car trips as a passenger. I have noticed the same errors when using "Track Me' with an expensive Garmin Fenix 7.
@@TheManWithTwoWatches yeah it's nice more than need, still it's hard to unsee. The Venu 2 I had with me lagged much less and is what you would consider normal from a GPS watch given the constraints. You have "auto-pause" on to track the time "wasted"?
Yep, I enabled auto-pause for my next drive to work in a few days. I'll be comparing the Drive Mode on the T-Rex 3 versus the T-Rex 3 to verify the new GPS accuracy Amazfit has told us about.
Thanks, Logan, and nope, that video was sponsored by Viewers Like You... Over 90% of my videos are sponsored by Viewers Like You and the products are purchased by me.
Tough to say for they are different watches. I do feel the new sensor Amazfit installed on the T-Rex 3 is more accurate than the Cheetah Pro. And it should be for it is nearly 14 months newer.
Cool beans, and I hope you like it. A friend of mine in Washington just got his and he loves wearing, working out, sleeping, and just using it to tell the time of day...
Dude u being serious? do you know how much weight riders lose during Nascar and F1? the heart rate, sheer physics and temperature has a significant impact on their bodies during a race. They lose about 5 to 10 pounds of sweat on average. Not to mention just for navigation.
I have not noticed any lags using an Amazfit wearable connected to an iPhone versus Android smartphone. As for replying to messages, it is okay. The notifications are okay too, I wish Amazfit would allow Users to customize the sounds for messages like buzzer scenes. I would also like the ability to alter the tones for alarms in the morning...
Yet another fun feature I didn’t know about. Of all the watch research I’ve been doing, this T-Rex 3 seems to be the best bang for buck.
Yes, and it is less than $300 too...

Where is your top watch list for 2024? Would love to see what your top pick would be and where this T-Rex 3 would place
Sorry, still working on the script and award categories... Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas 🎁 🎄 ☃
It is possible to disable Bluetooth directly from the watch
Yes, I disable Bluetooth on my T-Rex 3 each night before bedtime 😁

I bought it for 3 month now I dint even know there is something like driving mode ....thanks for the information
You can find a lot of great features on this watch. Thanks for watching.
Whats the build quality like compared to the Fenix? The smart features seem nice. But my EPIX feels like it can handle any condition I out it in.

can't answer calls is a major issue. Not working with Alex is odd since it has a mic. You could at least give it commands to turn on lights etc.

Are you going to do a comparison video with the Active Edge?
Cuz I'm not real happy that I bought it.
Yes, I already wore the T-Rex 3 and the Active Edge for 72 hours to gather the data... Just need to make the three hours to edit the footage 🤓
Yeah, sorry, GottaGeek, I need to finish that video. All in all, it not a fair comparison, but still interesting to compare the Active Edge & the T-Rex 3 :)
Bro, can you set a point on the map watch and then turn by turn there on Amazfit?

Nice content as always, throughly enjoy your videos.
Question do you know if Garmin has a similar “drive mode” activity?
Garmin has a track-me feature, but I like the Driving Workouts better via Amazfit.
@@TheManWithTwoWatches that T-Rex 3 sure looks like a great watch

Can the screen stay always turned on during GPS mode? I want to mount this on a bicycle
Yes, I configured my T-Rex 3 to enable AOD during all workouts.
When this thing gets a flashlight like the Fenix I'm so in.

Tried that mode too and didn't like that the speed lagged badly both when accelerating and slowing down, didn't you notice ?

Yes, yes it is. I've reached close to greatness with a 95 once and a sleep score of 98. One day...
We really like to see comparison video with Garmin watch. Also Zepp vs Garmin Connect.
Okay, I can do that for you and the other 10,000 that follow my Nerdy reviews ;) Are you wanting the T-Rex 3 versus the Garmin EPIX 2 or...?
Have you seen the new updates that Amazfit made inside ZEPP Health for their Apple apps? It is a night and day difference, dang!
Hello! What's the watchface?
That is a free watchface created by Zepp Health called, Sports Moment.

There should be an easy search bar.

It is a unique way to track driving places and is counted differently than a human cycling for 30 minutes with an average speed of 50mph.
