Wow, you're fast! Just the other day, I stumbled over the watch on the Amazfit website and was quite surprised (dodged the pun!) by the feature set they provide here combined with the serious build quality. HR is an important detail, though, if this is hardware-related, it might be an essential downside since many of the advanced metrics hinge on that one. Anyways, stupendous quality and coverage, Dave. You rock!

unibody titanium and a sapphire crystal screen sounds absolutely amazing to me, as someone with eczema titanium is great on my skin compared to steel or plastic, i wish amazfit also went back to their carbon case like they did on the amazfit stratos

Thanks for your continued reviews on alternatives to Garmin, Apple etc. This model looks like it comes very close to being a very compelling offer compared to watches at double the price.

Really nice competition for the Epix 2 if maps are a non-issue for someone. Here in Germany the price is the same as in the US, but in EUR (499.90) and they promise delivery in 5 days.

I'm glad that you are showing love to a smaller company and not being bias excellent review, but amazfit looks like a wanna be budget friendly brand while being a coros or polar killer in the same time.

In the market of this watch or Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar.....very glad I came across this. Thank you !

Great video. I currently have a Garmin Fenix 6X Pro Sapphire and it has been excellent for almost two years now. It is tough and there isn't a mark on it - it looks brand new. However, I usually upgrade my smartwatches every year or so and so the Fenix has done very well to still be on my wrist. I had an Amazfit Stratos before and really liked it but it wasn't built with titanium and sapphire glass and so the screen did pick up some scratches. The Falcon does look like a really good alternative. I do like the Garmin Epix but it looks just the same as the one I have got and so wouldn't really feel like much had changed. Therefore, the Falcon is really looking like a great deal.

In terms of technological advances, sure, the Epix Gen 2 is superior but that does not change the fact that, aesthetically, it is so similar to a Fenix that it does not appeal to me. Try it yourself, get two browser windows side-by-side, put a Garmin Epix Gen 2 in one and a Fenix 7 in the other and from a case and bezel perspective, they are virtually identical; certainly in the UK anyway. They both look too similar to the Fenix 6 Sapphire I already had too and so it was time for a change and I have to say the Zepp OS is just as intuitive as the Garmin one and the Falcon looks fantastic.

Also, you are the first - and only - youtube sports person that has posted a video of this watch in action.

Great initial review! Very informative. I still believe Garmin is in a different league, but Amazfit may be a cause for concern for Coros as some concerns feature sets seem comparable at a better price point.

Garmin is also faster orienting to your travel direction when following a route. Not only does Garmin have its own route creation app (Garmin Explore) it also utilizes many third party map apps.

I love my Amazfit GTS mini 2 for local runs, tracking and everyday life since it's quite cheap, out there I wouldn't exchange it for my Suunto 7 tho.

The ability to pair with an external HR Chest Strap has been much needed. I've had all three versions of the T-Rex and none of them are even close to accurate in a mountain biking scenario. I doubt the HR sensor on the Falcon is any better this time around. Not worth the upcharge for me however just to get the external pairing feature. I have reverted to using my chest strap with a basic HR monitoring watch for definite accuracy. I've given up on the T Rex, and Amazfit for accurate HR tracking.

Once again great review, did you make a review for the Amazfit GTR 4? How the heart rate compare from the Falcon vs the GTR 4 it seems that the hearth rate of the Falcon seems similar to GTR 3 pro although the GTR 4 supposedly have a 30 % better heart rate.

Nice outstanding watch and your review

I have had 3 Amazfits. Stiil have two. All have deal breaking levels of inaccuracy in most metrics (apart from the step counter - for some reason Zepp nails steps.)

Thanks for the review. The heart rate issue you mention, I assume that if you connect a band strip to the watch you can use that input and have a precise reading with that right? I was preparing myself to spend the money on a garmin fenix 7, but this price sounds a lot more reasonable. But like you, I'm also concerned that a new HW version will be released soon , and send this one to waste.

Your final thoughts pretty much nailed the major concerns. Amazfit is renowned for not supporting their products for a long period of time in terms of firmware updates. And by long I mean anything over a year. I've owned a Bip, Bip S, Pace, Stratos and Stratos 3. Apart from the OG Bip, all had bugs that were reported. Amazfit did nothing.

So indeed the watch does not have spotify and you can only upload mp3 files to play on its own, however if you have your phone on you, you can connect your buds to the phone, play music from the service of your choice and use the watch sorta as a remote control, to switch between tracks, adjust the volume and so on, which is still great, because you do not need to always take your phone out of your pocket or bag or wherever you are carrying it

Kudos for the great review, as usual; unbiased and really useful ! This watch is really nice, looks amazingly built and full of features enough to cover the majority of our (average Joes') users' needs. But... The lack of a Zepp web portal, which compels you to use the phone app only, no Ant+ connectivity and (personally) being stuck in a Garmin environment for many years, prevents me to switch; to be honest, Coros offers IMHO more comparable - and compatible - features at a lesser price than outrageously high Garmin's.

I have been struggling with this. Started out with Samsung gear band and watch. Lack of battery life got me searching and got Fenix 5x saffire. That was a nice watch, but as it got older, it just sort of stopped being accurate. I have the Amazefit TRex 2 and it's spot on for what I need I just don't love it and not sure why. I've been bouncing back and forth between Fenix 7x and even the Marc. At the end of the day, though, I'm 65 and work out on bike and/or rowing for an hour a day. My needs are minimal and the reality is that the technology will be upgraded in a year filled with more stuff I don't need.I ordered Falcon today with hopes this will be the last one I need till they put something on a wheelchair. It looks good, and so far, the Zep app with upload to Strava should do it.

Wow, this took me by surprise to be honest. Good battery and seems that it covers more than just the basics, and as long as it can be paired with external sensors, it's not that terrible that the wrist HRM is not that good. The only question remaining is how good or accurate the metrics are with a good external HRM doing the right job, because for the price and feature set it enters a market to compete with watches like the Suunto 9 Peak and the Polar Grit X pro, which you can get slightly more expensive or slightly cheaper respectively, and it would come down on the preference of display and design if the metrics are good enough, in other case I think the market for this watch would be quite limited.

Hey Dave, thanks for the video. It's great that you are reviewing Amazfit watches as well as Tickwatches, not only the mainstream sports watches. I think that the Falcon is clearly no real competition to Epix 2. The set of software features of Amazfit watches doesn't evolve that much unfortunately. As a former Amazfit Pace user (100 dollar watch back in 2019) I recognize the breadcrumb navigation of the Falcon far too well. The Falcon's price is in the Forerunner 955 territory which sounds really out of its place to me.

Shame about the lack of onbord mapping.... Its way behind a Garmin Epix, Fenix, Tactix, Quantx, Enduro 2.... Its even behind a Fenix 5x from 2018 in mapping capability... In fact every other make in the world are behind Garmin in mapping unfortunately..... As a hiker I'd love some competition between brands but there isn't any in this department....there's just Garmin doing inbuilt mapping of the world with the ability to download any OSM maps directly to a watch, transparent contour and trails overlays to overlay on other maps...

I love it and I will buy it when available. People complain that there are features it doesn´t have, I collected many years Breitling, Omega etc. And this is the first watch which can compare in built quality with these "real" watches (only Marq 2 from Garmin too, but 2000 Euros up). I see it more like a Breitling Endurance or TAG Heuers with benefits. The money you loose with these watches even when you leave the shop after buying is a few times the price for a Falcon and so the 300 more for sapphire and titanium body to T-Rex 2 is not a special offer, but for me worth the premium feeling. And yes, perhaps after 2 or 3 years the technology is outdated, but with all the features it can be used many years more (and with this durability to charge only all 2 weeks or longer it will last for 10 years) as all Breitlings together (a stop watch, alarm, calendar etc. will always work). I am not a sportsman so the sensors may be better at Garmin, but I prefer high class materials (yes, even Samsung and Huawei are maybe well done, but a difference to this "real watch" quality feeling). And if you compare with Coros, this has no Amoled, only 280x280 resolution and even still bigger than the Falcon. And Garmin is the first comparable watch the Epix (Amoled) and it costs 1000 Euros. And even the same size (1,28 to 1,30 is no difference like 1,39 to T-Rex 2). I am so happy with my T-Rex 2 now with all the features and will upgrade to the Falcon only because of the high quality built.

Not released in Australia yet, but pricing will be $800, which is the same price as the galaxy watch 5 pro. I think $800AUD is around that $500USD

Great review! Assuming Garmin's quickfit bands are interchangeable on this one? It's 22mm right?

Oh and it is the previous generation HR sensor (from gtr3) right?

Yep, they’re compatible.

@@fitgearhunter Sure does look the same...they really need to beef that thing up. The Garmin and Apple watches have way more than the one tiny sensor to be accurate.

@@fitdude Yes from the spec sheet they included the damn older sensor (which was less accurate) on the new flagship model! Why O Why. Great looking watch otherwise.

Love your reviews and understand that a lot of hard work and time is involved, but I was wondering if a quick update on any firmware is possible. I'm interested in this watch, but can't find anything about any improvements from firmware, namely gps accuracy. Hope you can help.

Being able to connect to external hrms is good, because I never use the hr sensor on my watch. topo map is not an issue for me, I don't think I will need that. I am a road runner in my neighborhood, I like to put on my shoes and run.

All the above being said, I will still stick to my Garmin for the ecosystem.

This device reminds me Pol/ar Grit X Pro with its design and pricetag.However not close to be Precision Prime. :)

i wish they included a depth meter sensor. I had 15 years ago a SUONTO CORE that had depth meter and realy loved the feature of basic mesurments for snorkeling. Cant understand why is so dificult for manufactures to include it.

Curieusement, pour cette montre haut de gamme, Amazfit a choisi le capteur biotracker 3.0 ppg qui est plus ancient que biotracker 4.0 de Amazfit GTR 4.

How is the information regarding SP02 blood oxygen? What time durations can you set it to and how does it monitor during sleep? Is there a graph that can be reviewed or exported?

Comparing with the Ultra, do you think is it a good option if you’re looking for a rounded watch? Or Garmin Epix 2 stills better ?

Waiting for the GTR4 video, that's what I can afford even though the falcon is what I want. 😬

Looks awesome. How about the barometer accuracy?

Personally, I would not rely on Amazfit Barometer as it’s quite basic. The implementation is ok but lack refining big time. The graph tend to not give a clear sense of a rising or dropping barometer. Basically, the graph is not sensitive enough. Even if there was a huge drop in pressure the graph still looks rather flat. Also this barometer is always affected by altitude. There is no auto Cal. Garmin and Suunto has the best Baro/Alt implementation. Amazfit has a long way to catch up here
