Des- Another great video, and you’re still the best at this! I’ve found the Amazfit to be on par with my Garmin Venu 2, in both running HR and GPS data. I’m doing very steady-state runs, however. I keep coming back to the watch for the screen quality and the battery. As you call out, those are both great. Easy watch to use!
You can reccomend this watch over a garmin instinct, fr 245?
Your reviews are the best! Direct to the point with facts! I really enjoyed the video. These are my type ones! Keep up good work!
Thanks so much!
No doubt. One of the honest and in-depth reviews out there.
Thanks!
Great review! Actually just bought one yesterday. Should get to use it tomorrow
Thanks!
Thank you for the Review, you are the best Smart Watch Review youtuber out there, Super Helpful!
Glad the information helps! Thanks!
Nice one Des! I had the same... bleh results from the HR sensor on the T-Rex Pro. Interestingly, some commenters suggested to turn off "stress tracking" which is supposed to increase the accuracy in some magical way but that wasn't the case for me. Excellent video! 👍
I saw that suggestion as well on Reddit or something - tried that - no dice :/ Hopefully they can improve with their next watch. Thanks Dave!
2 of my favorite youtuber! keep watching both of your video to decide fenix 6 sapphire or fenix 6X sapphire 😅😅
Thanks for taking the time to make such a great in-depth video - it was really helpful. I'm looking to purchase a budget GPS watch to accurately track my running distance and heart rate etc - would you recommend this or the Garmin Forerunner 55? (I'm also looking for something fairly rugged.)
Great review have one and yep the heart rate tracking is well a bit all over the place. Was ok when I did a turbo training bike ride and was close to chest readings but mountain biking it's a bit all over the places. GPS tracking is OK and I would say better than my Fitbit Ionic.
Now thinking of getting a Polar Grit X as be offered one at a good price.
In all fairness heart rate for MTB is all over the place for pretty much all watches due to the constant movement, bouncing, and gripping, but even so, the HR on this watch is sub par. I’d still rely on an external HRM if you want accurate heart rate for MTB. Thanks!
👌Excellent review, very informative without any corny jokes!
Thanks!
Congratulations on the channel! Please, how many watchface options does it have in alway on display mode?
I think you should do a video were you talk about your prefered sports watchs comparing a couple of them for people who don't know wich one to buy !
nice! please do more amazfit reviews, when they release more devices
I’ll try! Thanks!
Nice video! Bought the watch nevertheless to add to my Fenix 3 and F935. For events and training my go to would still be F935. Just needed a rugged sports watch for my other activities like camping and some mild hiking. The F935 glass scratches so easily and with my aging hindsight, the OLED screen of the Amazfit works great! And can probably wear this to work instead of the F935 which I wear almost 365/24/7. Time for the girl to have some rest!
What outdoor watch have in mind?
Just got one of these, black Friday deal, great review man👍
Enjoy!
Great review keep the coming
Thanks!
Amazing , This is called true and non bised review . This is appreciable reivew bro. 👌
Great Video man! Regarding the GPS setting what did you use, GPS+Gallelilo or GPS+GLONASS, or GPS+BDS??
Great review. Exactly what is important for such a device. Accuracy of GPS and Heart rate.
Thanks!
Hat of maestro!!!Good way of introdictions
Hi Des, great video. I’ve been researching but get really confused as to what smart watch to get. What should I compare if choosing between the ticwatch pro 3 ultra and the Trex Pro?
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Sure thing! Thanks!
Going to buy this..i buy many watch before and all of them always damaged because of long term use... this watch is perfect since it pass the military test...I like the design too.. it's catchy
Nice review...Whether T Rex is Suitable for HIIT workout????
This is the best THE BEST T-Rex Pro review I have watched. Kudos!!!
Thanks!
I bought this device more or less one month ago and I've dressed h24. I noticed that the count of steps is quite good, gives numbers that are consistant with other devices (the difference is around 1-2%) and doesn't count when I'm driving my car or my bike, but there are activities (playing drums, doing jumping jack or simply grinding parmesan for pasta) that activate the count.
The heart rate measure when I'm quiet is really accurate and seems good also until 90-100 bpm when I do a quick walk, checked many times. I have to check the behaviour you noticed with vibrations on my bike. I'll try on sunday, if forecast and sons let me do it.
The GPS is good and I never had problems with signal lost, even after hours of use. The accuracy is good, nothing that make me cry to a miracle, but better than most of smartphones and adeguate to a "normal" use. I tried to measure the repeteability walking more times on the same path around my home and the "error" is more or less 2 meters.
Can you use navigation by selecting from and to locations in the app and the watch guides you for it? Also can you load 3rd party apps?
@@YashRaj-tn7rs it's not a feature of the app/watch.
love
Hey des.. how bout a comparo between the older Fenix models vs. the cheaper "premium" Sports watch from Chinese brands.. 😎🤙
Really hope you can review amazfit stratos 3 elite
You're the greatest wiever for us(sorry abought my stupid english)
Finally - Thanks Des.
Sure thing
@@DesFit Hey Des, have you use the auto pause functionality while biking? I have seen the issue when it comes out of the auto pause when the heart rate really goes bad.
I generally turn auto pause off on all devices I test because of such issues.
Great bright and colorful screen. Like it even tho I just bought garmin 245 music :)
👍 Hope you’re enjoying your watch!
Hi, I recently started paragliding with (Amazfit Trex Pro) and love to track my activity.
before flying i just select workout--Driving mode or hiking mode, Altitude results are approx good and I am not sure about other results
Could you please suggest what is the best mode while paragliding?
Thanks for the review, I just ordered the Pro off Ebay, new and less than $100. Just got Afib, maybe I should send Pfizer the bill for the heart rate monitor.
Love how you cut the bullsh** and get straight to the review.
🤙 Thanks!
Hi, would you know if it's worth getting for swim tracking specifically?
Hi Des, i was wondering if you have checked some other sports that the watch tracks. For instance Sup. I have a Huawei gt2 pro that has Sup sport installed and it only measures heart rate , calories and time!!! What about distance? Or something more? Can you see if it uses gps for Sup?
Thanks
Thank you for giving attention to Amazfit, Des!.. Right now, I just need a GPS running watch and somehow I feel like Garmin running watch is just too pricey...
After some research, Amazfit seems to be a godo option. I'm so glad when I found that you've reviewed this device as well..Thanks!
The cardiac sensors of AmazeFit watches have a bad reputation for being inaccurate. For the first 5 minutes, it does its purpose well. Finally, it seems that even when at rest, hand motion may improve production.
Hi buddy, is this watch better or Garmin forerunner 45? Which one to pick. Pls suggest. Or can u pls do a comparison between this 2 watches.
Regards
Shahaed
Very nice and perfect videos. I was confused between garmin 55/245 or this watch. Which one do you recommend?my need is to track yoga and HIIT or HRX workouts
245
Hello. Are you planning to test new GTR4 presented a few days ago on IFA?
please make a activity review on the G shock gbd200
Thank you for your amazing video! Between this and the Garmin Instinct which one would you recommend? I plan to give it to an avid hiker that also wants to keep track of the heart rate and get phones notifications. Also good battery life and reliability is a plus.
Hi what did you decide on? I’m in the same boat
@@davidmariner1837I chose the Garmin Instinct.
Like your review, what watch were you eating during the review on your right arm ?
I believe I was eating this one: th-cam.com/video/VXnyLD2UDK0/w-d-xo.html
Hey man. Cuold you please give me review about their Zepp app. Does it have any running coaching like garmin. Thanks
A little off topic, but do you have any updated thoughts on the Garmin Venu 2? It's looking like one of the best smartwatches you can get in 2021. Just wondering if there are any new flaws that have popped up?
He did a Garmin Venu 2 In-depth review 3 months back.
I used the T Rex for a 4 mile powerwalk. But when the walk ended at 4 miles, I didn't know how to stop the workout of the watch. When I tried to synchronize with app, there was no workout. How do you save your workout?
You can definitely replace the strap. I am using velcro strap with the trex pro. It’s better than rubber strap.
Could you tell me something from the open water option? Thanks in advance
Hello
Does this have navigation and it is maybe possible to upload komoot things on it? Thank you for your help!
@DesFit Bruhh, how many calories do you burn per day vs how many hours of workout? What's your average PAI score? I have bought trex pro after watching this video and I'm curious about your stats. 😃
Ummm venu SQ or this Amazfit T-Rex Pro . MTB, Walk, freeletics, Monitor Sleep, Heart... What u recomend, Thx
What to buy, t rex or coros pace2?
I'm only running 1 hours a day, and walk.
Could you see whereare you directly on the watch? in other words, can you see the map on the watch?
Really good video. Any ideas what smartwatch is best for heart rate, swimming and outside cycling?
Probably something like a Garmin Forerunner 255 or 955
@@DesFit thanks for the reply. I bought fenix 6 pro in the end and I'm very happy with it.
Very interesting, indeed. May the software of this diveice look similar to the Huawei?
The same company makes both watches
I have an older Amazfit GTR that has most of the same issues you encountered here. They should fix what's already on the watch instead of adding "new features." I'm aware that features sell better than accuracy to the general public.
Yup, had the same issues with the GTR that I tested as well, so it seems to be consistent.
One question, step counting real time Or evry 20 30 sec refreshing the steps ;
Stratos 3 review please!!
There are 3 options for GPS, which one is the most accurate? Bds, glonass, or galileo?
love
Hi,can this watch update local time via internal gps and without connecting to the phone?
Good n honest 👌👍
Yup!
I misplaced my watch some where in my home and "find watch" feature not helping because it just vibrate and no sound. Any help plz
Thank you for the video. I do construction work, and looking for a more rugged smart watch. My main use will be for running a Dexcom CGM app. Does this support 2nd party apps well, seem like it'll take some abuse ? Possibly a better alternative ? Thanks
Unfortunately, Wear OS, Tizen, and Watch OS are your options if you want an app store, and none come close to touching the durability of the T-Rex, except the Casio G-Shock Wear OS model. Which is much, much more expensive.
For a rugged smartwatch, the T-Rex and T-Rex Pro are your best options that don't break the bank.
Nice review, may i ask if this watch provide function to navigate using pre-load gpx file?
Did you get any update on that? Im looking for that information too.
I've the TRex Pro and I find the GPS better than my garmin vivoactive 4. It tracks my run more accurately than the garmin. Plus battery life if about 11 days with GPS running 5 times a week with always on heart rate. I think it's a good watch
Hi,can this watch update its local time via internal gps and without connecting to the watch?
I have this watch and it worked well for every exercise apart from outdoor bike riding so I tried again with the watch super tight on my wrist and it tracked my ride well. Now I'm not 100% sure, but I think the band itself is very springy so the watch can bounce around if you don't have it really tight on the wrist.
I got it aswell, but mine dont last for more than 4-5 days, n i dont do anything in particular with the settings, i get a lot of notifications tho. But this should hold for more than that right?
whch location and sat you set on?
Does the GPS work when it isn't connected to the phone, if so, are there any limitations, in the GPS feature, does it include navigation when the phone isn't connected?
Thankyou
Have you considered the trex 2?
Thank you,very informative review. It helped me not to buy this smartwatch, since GPS and HR accuracy are funtamental to me
hello friend. I often follow your channel and find it very interesting and favorite. I need to bike and jog so I want to consult you should buy vivoactive 3 or for735xt for the above needs, thanks
@@nugetta thanks. i think it's better to spend money on a newer model for long term usability
kindly, review Amazefit Trex -2
How to set the time on Watch?
Can I know where to find interval for running
Bro..this guy is handsome..Woof!
If anyone has a solution to my issue, please educate me! The website for this watch claims the watch is your "partner in exploration" and "No matter where you go, you’ll always know where you are" but I don't see how this watch can actually do this. It seems to export it to the phone rather than just give you the coordinates. Why is there no way for it to give you this on the watch, and why cant it have a simple direction arrow towards a GPS target your input or mark (ie: your car, geocaching location, trailhead, meeting location from google maps, etc.) this is driving me crazy and I have huge buyers remorse at the moment.
If I’m looking for a watch for great sleep tracking would you even recommend this for that ? Thanks !!
The best sleep tracking at this point in time is Fitbit, followed then by Garmin and Polar when it comes to watches.
Great!
hi is this watch have "trackback" like garmin instinc i mind when you lost y can always back to start point?
Cannot understand why it would have sleep setting and then not have steps?
Would you recommend the T. rex pro or COROS pace 2 for a beginner runner?
Pace 2 or Garmin Forerunner 55 👍
Hi, can anyone help? I have problems with tachycardia and few watches only can detect a sudden increase in heart rate from 80 to 200 bpm, apple watch is ok, but I haven't apple ,so only android phone and tried versa 3, garmin venu 2 and both go crazy during my attack, any idea?
Hi.Nice video.Do you know if the T Rex pro is compatible with the polar h9 heart rate monitor? Thanks
I was not able to find a way to pair it to an external HR strap.
@@DesFit Thanks for your reply!
Is it has gradient % reading if using for cycling?
Which one should buy, Amazfit T-Rex Pro or Garmin Instinct Solar? I use it for running and some daily watch, so I prefer accurate HRM and GPS.
The Instinct Solar
I am doing training for half triathlon. Confused between T-rex pro, Garmin 245 and Garmin 935 (can't think for 945 due to budget). My major requirement is recovery. Please help.
I'd suggest the 935 as that is the only one with true triathlon tracking capabilities.
I have seen a few videos showing the T-Rex connected to a HR strap, so I think the info here may be incorrect. Apparently when you start an activity, you can then connect it.
Would you please point me to those videos? Thanks.
@@DesFit Sorry I made a mistake. It was for the Amazfit Stratos, but may be the same. I am waiting for my T-Rex to arrive to verify. Can you check if you have this option...
th-cam.com/video/ZYpLk6SDm5E/w-d-xo.html
Does the stopwatch have splits/laps feature with designated physical buttons for start/stop Splits/reset etc? I do interval training so this feature is important to me.
I've watch so many reviews about watches like these but none of them talk about feature like this? Hopefully in your future videos you can mention and show real quick if it does have this feature. Thanks!
I also want the answer?☺️
the most frustrating thing in this watch is you can't see the hour (main screen) e.g. during using stopper and no alarm icon on main screen
Nice review. After watching this, its a 👎for my purchase.. thanks
are these watches better or should i go with garmin forerunner 55? please suggest, cause i am not sure why garmin are more costly, do they provide better quality of watch, gps and other things or are they taking more money because of ads and marketing
No, it's not about marketing. They have a more robust app and ecosystem which delivers more data and the feedback that they provide is meaningful based on years of experience.
Can this watch show where you are on a GPS track?
can you please tell me the best watch under 250$ ?
I have seen all your videos and the morei learned th emore confused i got... Coros Pace 2 vs fore runner 245 ?
Both of those are good options. The Pace 2 can serve as a triathlon watch but I tend to prefer the usability of the FR245 with the 5 physical buttons vs the crown/dial on the Pace 2. The FR245 currently provides a bit more training feedback and insight as well.
@@DesFit Thanks :)
How to reset Activity Goal ?
very nice video makes for recording bike on Strava thanks
👍
I think I might get garmin instinct solar
Can we use google maps or any kind of maps with this model?
And is it possible to install apps on this one, i cant find a way to do these.
no ... but it is what is ... for the price pretty nice ...
Does white t-rex pro looks good in real?
Seems like GPS accuracy issue still persist even for this brand new T-Rex Pro. So sad Amazfit.
for the worst sleep accuracy please check Active2. i worked from 23(11pm) to 07am, surfing youtube, Whatsapp, playing a game, for short periods of time, using at least 6hours paired Buds plus, charging phone for 30 minutes and the next day it said i slept from 22 to 9 am !!!
is i woke up at 6 and stay awake 2 hours not moving from bed it will count those 2 hours as sleep. i doubt anyone can make worse watches then Samsung!
Please help me decide between this and the Instinct Solar by Garmin. 😌
The T Rex Pro may have a prettier screen but overall the Instinct Solar offers much more for sports and fitness features.
Would you recommend this watch over the Amazfit GTR 2 global version?
sharper and brighter than trex?
