Thanks to your review I bought the watch and did a biking test and I like it. ONE PROBLEM: The watch is lacking a Geographic Location Coordinates View (latitude/longitude) which is the most critical and the most practical feature of any GPS device. It's good that the T-Rex 2 has pre-designed routes, but what will save your life in nature (mountaineering, hiking, canoeing, cross-country skiing, orienteering, etc) is to be able to see your geographic location whenever you need it, to find out where you are, and with that information refer to a “detailed paper map” which does not run out of batteries. The Amazfit T-Rex 2 does not have the storage capacity for detailed mapping... but having a small window with a geographic location option and working in conjunction with a paper map makes the digital storage unnecessary and greatly extends the usefulness of the watch GPS feature. I had an odd experience that I am not sure I imagine or was real: while dealing with a loaded hiking route I thought I saw a window that showed my geolocation, but when I was back home I could not make it happen again. ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED

That was a very detailed comment, wow, and glad you liked my review. As for the geographical features of the Amazfit T-Rex 2, nope, the features don't really exist.

I FIGURED OUT! When you go to an outdoor activity, say, hiking, First there is a red screen with GPS written on the left, a hiker pic on the center and a heart on the right, if you press the GPS it takes a measure and after a while when the measurement is taken all turns green. Then, there is a white text on the bottom of the screen that says "Setings", a new screen opens up with a list: “Assistant” and the second one is "Navigation", another screen opens with the Titles: My Routes, which will list the rotes you have saved, and the next is “MY LOCATION” where you can see the latitude and longitud of where you are ! That is the location we saved on the first red screen, is there and you can acumulate a list of them; but I am yet to figure out how to send it - find it in Zepp to pass it to some other app. What I did was to take a phone picture of the watch screen to not loose it and have it easily available to inform my map location. I am retired, but I have been a mountaineering intructor and seach and rescue rescue type in North, Central and South America, and I have degrees in Geography and Geographic information Systems, Basically, spent all my life in the field dealing with practical issues. I can tell you that the T-Rex GPS accuracy is fantastic. I am currently in the middle of nowhere in high mountains of Peru and my first reading located the neares city 110 miles away instead of where I am so I was very dissapointed. The reason was that I am next to a steep tall mountain right behind me. Once I moved a bit wawy from it I got my first correct and highly accurate reading; within a meter of the entrance of my property, that shows up in 3D in Google Earth so there is no mistake - the next day I went for a hike on the edge of the mountain and took another correct reading in spite of been somehow under the topographic shade of the mountain. It seems the software learned the satelllite location path. Thus, Im done with the GPS figuring out, because now with the very acurate “My location” reading - and a topo map - I can navigate anywhere for months without charging the battery. I can turn the watch on and off just to find my location :-)

Anyway... thank you for your tip about the Power-Save Mode and I hope you are enjoying your Holiday Season with the Amazfit T-Rex or T-Rex 2.

I kinda really love this watch. All the fitness stuff is novelty IMHO. Sure, it's interesting, but really, even when I was seriously into fitness (physical training was a huge part of my life for 20+ years) you just don't use all that stuff. Heart rate? Blood oxygen? Ha. Frivolities. The tools you need are various timers, maybe a GPS, and some way to log distances and weights and activities in the general sense. I digress. My requirements: durability, a long battery charge (once a week or longer between charges), notifications, some of those tools I mentioned above, a pomodoro timer, and it has to be attractive. All the rest of the features are just interesting. This watch is impressive. An ePaper display would have been nice for those of us who live substantially outside, but ePaper can make the interfaces more complicated, so I get the choice. Anyway. I think this is a truly great watch.

Point to note of sleep tracking. If you are a shift worker that sleeps during untraditional hours, ie I sleep during the daytime when I work nights. It tracks daytime sleep as naps and it doesn't display accurately. I typically go to sleep from 6am to 2pm and this is always recognized as a nap and not actual sleep. So annoying. This is specifically a watch/system design. It would be nice if they addressed this at some point.

@PeterHerget

I wonder if Fitbit, Apple, Garmin, Samsung, OURA, or Polar would be good at tracking different sleeping hours. I completely agree with you - a smart wearable should not need a "window" nor a specific time frame of 20:00 to 08:00 to track a human's sleep. Years ago I used to work graveyard and would sleep from 07:00 to 14:00, alas, I didn't have any wearables to track my sleep at that time. Please, let me know if that changes. I am wearing the Amazfit Falcon now and the way it tracks naps is not the best either...

Let's talk about some of your cons. The battery life estimate is in some watch faces. It isn't native, but there is a workaround. For the heart rate and pulse ox, you really annoyed me with this (as do most reviewers). Let's get something clear. These watches, regardless of brand, are not medical devices. They are guides at best. There is a reason they don't use wrist based measurements in the hospital. On the ambulance we use either finger tip or ear lobe for pulse ox. But regardless, one thing you learn in school is to 'treat the patient, not the machine'. Your sats will change throughout the day as will your HR and BP and respiratory rate. Movement can also affect it as can your skin. If you want the most accurate readings from a sport watch, you need to shave your arm where the watch will go. Your hair will throw it off as will it not being tight enough. Really wish reviewers would learn this and educate themselves before using as a comparison or calling it a "con".

Nicely done with troubleshooting 👍 I have yet to try the Xiaomi S1. How long have you been wearing that watch?

Needed a watch for notifications, time and date (noisy environment), wanted something rugged and not crazy expensive. Bought the Amazfit Trex Pro but returned it for 2 reasons, the vibration for notifications was very lite and hardly felt and the step counter drove me nuts. Not accurate ...ok then why can't I turn it off? No reset on the step counter, just went on counting forever, no reset at midnight and hard to find a watch face that did not display the inaccurate step numbers. Watch faces kind of childish too. I am considering the Pro 2 because they have a adjustment for the vibration intensity, thats interesting. I hate they slapped all that advertising on the watch. The Trex and Amazfit wording imprinted on the watch just make it look cheaper. Currently trying out the Samsung watch 4 Classic, nice but daily charging is killing it for me. Couple 3 days would be ok but as it stands if I forget to charge the Samsung one day, the next it dies. The Trex Pro 2 has same size battery as the Samsung watch 5 but less than half the cost.

Larger font, louder beeps/sounds, stronger vibration, and simply put, "more options" for those that may be slightly outside the normal. Then again, what is normal?

The glass screen cover on the T-Rex 2 was not as scratch resistant as I prefer. I ended up ditching the T-Rex 2 when I heard rumors of the Amazfit Falcon. Over 50 days later, and yes, I am still wearing the Falcon about 30% of my week. I enjoy the way it looks, I love sapphire glass, and they keep updating the heart-rate algorithms and making the wearable gadget even smarter and more accurate. I predict that by the end of Q2-2024 yes, Garmin, Fitbit, and perhaps Apple, may take a second look at Amazfit and wonder why they are losing market share...

I think it would be perfect if you could add external sensors. Then it would be a must buy!

Yes, I do have that plan to go riding on the exact same routes, using the same bicycle, my same heart, and again in the gorgeous areas of Utah. Thanks for you suggestion. You should see the video sometime in August 2022.

Data accuracy is an interesting one. I have a Polar Vantage V and Pace Pro next to the T-Rex 2 and what I can say is that the 24/7 HR tracking on the T-Rex 2 seems a bit less accurate. I get some spikes in HR and during sleep it doesn´t get the lows right. Maybe it´s because the T-Rex only measures every minute whereas the Polar measures constantly. But during a workout both watches are very similar. I even used the H10 heartrate strap and the T-Rex 2 was almost identical (it takes the T-Rex a bit longer to catch fast changes in HR but the measurement is accurate), maybe 1-2 beats off but that still is an amazing result in my mind. All in all, the sensors are great in my T-Rex. GPS is a lot more accurate than the old Polar Vantage V and slightly better than the new Pacer Pro. Garmin should still be better with their multiband gps but considering it´s price... T-Rex 2 is a winner.

@@PeterHerget That´s a great video idea! After my comment I did a run with both watches and to my surprise their roles were reversed. For the first time the T-Rex showed less distance than the Polar (100m less), normally the T-Rex is 200m ahead. I don´t know if that´s good or bad but the GPS (the lines on screen) always shows more accuracy with the T-Rex. After my sleep, I see the usual weird HR spikes from the T-Rex. Like HR of 90 whereas the Polar shows 50. Just short spikes, the average HR is almost identical. I have an irregular heartbeat, maybe the T-Rex picks up on that and measures an extrasystole. I have to check out whether I can wear the H10 during sleep. Normally it only connects during training.

Great Review, love the details and the analysis for several days. I think that Amazfit is cleaning every year the Trex line. It’s a bit disappointing that the heart rate is inconsistent, I believe that if the heart rate is not reliable all the other metrics will mean nothing.

@PeterHerget

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your pithy comments. My hope is that my heart-rate irregularities were only connected to some bad hardware and it was just that one watch. As I have commented before, yep, I have another T-Rex 2 on the way. I do agree with you about the Amazfit T-Rex line of wearables. One important aspect of any watch on my wrist is not only the accuracy, but also the fun factor. If I don't enjoy wearing the watch, interacting with the app, nope, it is sold, shelved, or returned. I have had issues enjoying the Suunto 9 on my wrist over the past eight days for that same reason. The Suunto 9 Gen1 has not been much fun at all, the font is too small to read, and screen is often, too often, difficult to read indoors.

Hey I own the T Rex 2, great watch for workouts and casual outdoors. It auto detects my weight training workouts and provides me accurate information on recovery time and other parameters. The sensors are fairly accurate, however it doesn't pick up fluctuations in heart rates as quickly as I would have liked, GPS is good too and the product is overall value for money. Also, long press on select button actually gives you an option to shut down or restart the watch, however it would be a reallyyy long press (easily 10+ seconds).

Thank you for the comment Quarknjaguar and I agree. 1. data integrity - don't lose the human's data 2. provide 85 to 96% accurate data (if at all possible). Based off my testing, yes, both Apple, Garmin, and Polar all achieve the first two. 3. Heart Rate & Sleep Tracking - these are the two most important factors for me when keeping a wearable in my realm of testing for longer than four weeks. And yeah, battery life is up there too for I have become very bothered with any gadget unable to endure the weekend test. The Weekend Test 1. charge the gadget on a Friday afternoon before leaving, circa 17:00 to 100% 2. wear the gadget all weekend 3. have the wearable alert you at least 100 times (texts, news, move alerts, weather, more texts, and emails) 4. wear the gadget to bed 5. check your sleep analysis in the app 6. synchronize your techie toy at least thrice daily 7. use AOD (always on display) 8. go outside and conduct a GPS tracking activity (kayaking, cycling, running, hiking, paddle boarding, etc.) 9. check your leaderboard to make sure you're still in the top 10 10. how is your SP02 level & recovery, is it time to take it easy? 11. is the watch fun to wear and does your significant other enjoy seeing it on your wrist? Yep, my "Weekend Wearable Test" is quite intense, but needed in the year 2022. And these are the following gadgets that have made the cut: 1. Garmin Fenix 6X pro solar 2. Garmin Tactix Delta Solar 3. Samsung Galaxy Watch (the 2018 version ~ fabulous battery life) 4. Fitbit Sense 5. Fitbit Blaze 6. Garmin 7X sapphire solar 7. Garmin 7 Tactix edition 8. Garmin Venu 2 Plus 9. OURA Ring 3.0 (A.K.A. OURA Ring generation 3) Close but no cigar...? 1. Apple Watch 7 (45mm LTE) - had to charge it twice from Friday at 17:00 to Monday morning at 09:00 2. Samsung Galaxy Watch4 - Classic LTE - so close, only had to charge it once around Sunday morning at 07:00 3. Suunto 9 gen1 (reasons for not passing the test are coming soon to a Herget Channel near you...) 4. Amazon Halo Band (reasons are T.B.D.)

Perhaps, the Falcon 2 could be my next Amazfit timepiece for testing. As far as workout accuracy/consistency of health data. Is Amazfit as accurate as a Garmin, perhaps not, but most Garmin watches cost twice as much. Overall, without spending another 1,080 hours of testing, and 300 hours of going through a plethora of data points, well... Amazfit watches are within 3 to 18% of the accuracy of Garmin wearables. Overall though, the average heart-rate and max heart, yes, those numbers are even closer. As the year 2024 progress, yep, Amazfit will catchup!

Are you asking if the heart-rate monitor is accurate? I think that is what you truly want to know for it matters not that it check my ticker every... A. one minute B. five minutes C. 10 minutes D. 30 minutes E. off all together Those are the settings for the Amazfit Falcon on my right wrist at this very moment. Wait, you don't believe me? Really, you are doubting the authenticity of my answer? Okay, I shall make you a video right about... NOW!

I felt the gold/black version of Amazfit T-Rex 2 looked... cheesy and lame. I am still waiting for my khaki colour version😁

I like your Weekend Test! I wonder if the Galaxy Watch 4, non -LTE version, might have passed... My two big nitpicks for this watch are: 1. No external HR strap support. 2. Get rid of the gigantic, bold, cheesy, garish "T-REX" at the top of the strap! (I even considered getting a black pen and coloring it in haha.)

Wait a minute, are you writing a comment about a mistake I made during a video posted over 12 months ago? Regardless of some gesture or hand motion, man oh man, I hope it was not some "Gang Sign" from a L.A. or Chicago Club. Oh wait, was it A.S.L. (American Sign Language)? I will rewatch that video and let you know my pithy thoughts via writing or in a response video...

Great video. I currently have the Garmin instinct. Thinking of updating. Would you recommend the trex2 over the Garmin watches?

@PeterHerget

Жыл бұрын

Nope, I would not recommend the Amazfit T-Rex, T-Rex 2.0, not even the the Amazfit Falcon over any Garmin wearable. Garmin has more refined timepieces, better accuracy with health tracking, their apps are more soundly designed, and yeah, Garmin has making GPS products for the consumer for over two decades. Amazfit has some promise, that I will give them. Ask me this same question again during Q4-2025 and we shall see...

What all functionalities do we lose when the phone is not connected to the watch ? How much data can it save ?

@PeterHerget

The watch still saves nearly all of the data. The Amazfit did a great job maintaining data and I did not witness any data loss even when it was away from the connected smartphone for hours.

@@PeterHerget I was just wondering about the very need itself to have it connected to my phone. I feel a bit uncomfortable about sharing my personal data with some Chinese servers - just the watch doing it is fine, but while it is connected to my phone it might share too much or even if it is just connecting that data to "me". But I guess it is unavoidable with such gadgets.

Hey man, thanks for the detailed review, i have a question, is it worth spending extra for apple watch series 7, i know both watches are different and serve different purposes, i personally am not an athlete, i just go to the gym 4-5 times a week and walk a little daily, thats it.

@PeterHerget

Жыл бұрын

Yes, definitely! The Amazfit is a good smartwatch; whereas, the Apple Watch 6, 7, or 8 is a great smartwatch. Sure, the cost is greater, but so are the health statistics. Now, if you are not wanting to charge your wearable every 27 hours you could also go with a Garmin Venu 2 Plus - 7 to 10 day battery life with fabulous health tracking. I feel any new Garmin or Apple is going to be years ahead of Amazfit. I plan to test another Amazfit later this year or in February 2023.

I very much appreciate the review on this watch! It was suggested that I keep an eye on my health. I hope this works. I haven't worn a watch in years. ? it may sound silly but in the bicycle mode for example it gives speed. Will the speed of a Personal Water Craft on the water give a current speed that I'm riding since it has 5 satellites? Thanks Rodney
